Not sure of the sourcing for [this century old bit of stupid](https://twitter.com/michaelharriot/status/1399921287049486339?s=20) gun news, but the image in the tweet claims that, while most property owners making claims against the city for damage resulting from the Tulsa massacre riot, one that was approved was for the gunshop owner who had weapons taken from his store to shoot black people. ---

Are we taking the crib out hunting with us, or are we hunting for deer inside the house? Either case, I suppose I can commend the person who wants to practice gun safety. ---

Either that or they are hunting birds. [Turkeys](https://www.charlieelk.com/2016/09/07/wild-turkeys-see-in-color-but-will-pink-spook-them/), [ducks](https://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/master-class/2013/10/how-ducks-see-science-behind-waterfowl-eyesight/) and [geese](https://www.ducks.org/conservation/waterfowl-research-science/a-birds-eye-view) have very high visual acuity and you have to go to some fairly weird lengths to fool them but ya, anyone out hunting deer who’s not wearing blaze camo is either really old or an idiot. ---
