Bumper Sticker

Kala took Aran to his piano lesson today (since I'm still not feeling great). When they got home, she announced she had a new favorite bumper sticker. It read: WHEN CHICKENS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE CHICKENS.

Aran didn't understand why she was laughing, and she tried to explain to him about the NRA and guns.

He said, "So the outlaws can shoot the chickens?"

For an interesting dissection of this foolish line of reasoning, I refer you to post in Elizabeth Moon's blog:
