the more i think about this, the angrier i get. both at myself for being a fool and believing something someone said online, and at the "hoax" itself. i don't find it funny really, because it's on a subject that i am personally passionate about; the II Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
at a time in our history when more and more of our rights as citizens are being abused, ignored, or taken away, i don't find it all that amusing for someone to post a "hoax" about shooting it out with a couple of burglars. i feel doubly the fool for supporting that person with a "my thoughts are with you" reply, in the blind.
there was a time in this country where a mans word meant something, where a handshake was as good as a written contract, and stealing got you hung. now, the worst that society has to offer can break into your home and while stealing your lifes' earnings, fall, sue, and then own the very house he was robbing. it's bull****. this country is going to hell in a handbasket fast.
i didn't and still don't find any humor whatsoever in this "joke".
my 2 cents.
