You may have heard on the news about a southern California man
put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he
owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 100,000
rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured
a secret escape tunnel.
My favorite quote from the dimwit television reporter: "Wow! He
has about a quarter million machine gun bullets." The headline
referred to it as a "massive weapons cache!"
By southern California standards someone owning 100,000 rounds
would be called "mentally unstable." Just imagine if he lived
elsewhere:
In Arizona , he'd be called "an avid gun collector."
In Arkansas , he'd be called "a novice gun collector."
In Utah , he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but
they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he
had a corresponding quantity of stored food.
In Colorado and Montana , he'd be called "The neighborhood
'Go-To' guy."
In Idaho , he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."
In Wyoming , he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
In Louisiana , Mississippi and Texas he would be called "a
deer hunting buddy."
And, in Alabama , he's just "Bubba" who's short on ammo.
