If you’ve ever been involved in a thread in which Roger was sharing his wisdom and expertise regarding Americans and firearms, you’d know that this is indeed the case.

> BTW, this reminds me of the time when Shrub was first running for governor against Ann Richards. He decided to go duck hunting when the season opened up. Ann Richards went too. Ann bagged herself some birds and got her picture taken. GeeDubya shot an endangered songbird and had to pay a fine. That’s what happens when you give a firearm to a moron who hasn’t been trained to use it.

Dio, the killdeer is anything but endangered

> The most widespread and familiar of the American plovers, the Killdeer is a common bird in farmyards, fields, and parking lots. Although many species of birds pretend to have a broken wing to lure predators from their nest, the Killdeer is the one most commonly seen performing this distraction display.
