DEAD HORSE BEATING ALERT

Thieves beat store owner with hammer

A Taunton shop owner is recovering from injuries he suffered when two robbers attacked him with a hammer, leaving the place so bloody that one officer likened it to a murder scene, according to published reports.

For the love of God! Where are all the cries for more laws restricting the availability of hammers? Or for requiring hammer registration? Or mandatory hammer safety courses?

Do you think we'll see the nanny-state liberals, sorry, "progressives" and their lawyers crawling out of the woodwork to file lawsuits against Estwing and Stanley Tools for manufacturing such a deadly instrument? Will they go after Home Depot, Sears, and every "mom and pop" hardware store in the country for recklessly peddling these deadly weapons without hesitation to anyone with 20 bucks in his pocket?

In the name of all that is good and righteous, where's the outrage? What about the children?

Yet, the panty-bunch politicians that the people of Massachusetts continue to elect, year after year, still share that pipedream that one day all the guns in the world will magically disappear and we can live, at last, in peace, love, and harmony, in our little Kumbaya-singing pow-wow circles while we braid each other's hair and make mobiles out of twigs and acorns.

Gee, I'm gonna take a pass on Hippy-Dippy Land. Thanks anyway.
