So, as we are all totally aware, gas prices hit an all time high this summer. Many people went screaming to the dealerships trying to give away their pick-ups and SUV's in favor of some hybrid smart car that runs on left over bean burritos...and what was I doing as gas jumped over $4 a gallon. I traded in my 2002 Trans Am WS6. I felt the pinch to...I needed something that got better gas mileage so I bought a new Vette!
Last night, with the thought of Obama taking office, I realized that another American icon may be at risk...the assault rifle, so I went and bought an AR-15 (civilian version of the M16). Now I'm not some right wing Neo-Nazi, or backwoods hillbilly that goes home to my compound every night. This is something that I'll probably take to the range 3 or 4 times a year and put $50 worth of rounds through it for fun.
This I will tell you people, as I walked out of that gun shop carrying an AR-15 with two 30 round magazines and got into my 400hp Corvette a single tear of American pride rolled down my cheek and I could swear I heard the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background! America is Beautiful!
