Dumb but motivated

"Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders." attributed to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and a few other German Generals.  If anybody knows who said it first I'd love to know.

This quote made me think of Joan Peterson, who is sure working hard to make sure that legally owned Machine Guns don't end up in Mexico.  She spent a lot of time writing her blog post saying how the "unregulated sale of machine guns and grenade launchers over the internet" could fuel Mexican drug violence...

Except she didn't know anything about the Form 4, mandatory registration, background checks, and tax stamps.

But she sure is working hard to fix a non-existent problem.  I figured that if someone were really passionate about "gun death" they would spend the time to research the laws already on the books to see how they could be improved, not blindly lobby for laws that are already on the boos...

Joan, you are on the board of directors for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership.  You really need to start getting your facts straight before you marginalize even more Americans.  Because, you DON'T have the public on your side, the NRA doesn't issue us talking points, and your organization is in the hole for the exact amount of your President's salary.
