Come on, people- you didn't think that this ridiculous organization was real- did you?

Did you?!?!?

People who were paying attention recognized all of these arguments as ones that had been applied to firearms. Those of us who know about firearms realize the stupidity of these arguments, yet some folks continue to fall for them. I wondered (after debating some schmuck named Milt [hence the name] on USENET) if people would lap it up if it was applied to something generally accepted by society, like power tools.

They did.

I don't know what I found more troubling; that P.T. Barnum was right, or that our society has become such that M.I.L.T. would actually be a conceivable organization. Hell, a few of you (and you know who you are, you dorks) even SUPPORTED the idea! What the hell are you people thinking?

Anyway, the web site has plenty of clues, like the kitchen table tool man having two left hands, spokesmen named "Blaque N. Decker," obviously retouched photographs of tool injuries, and the like. In the words of Todd Rundgren, "If it's stupid enough- it's cool."

Most of the gun owners seemed to get it, since they recognize a stupid argument when they see it, being pelted with them on a daily basis. Many people weren't sure, and some were convinced that M.I.L.T. was coming for them next. To them I say, "Boo!"

I want to also say, "Look. You fell for what you can now see is an obvious scam. Do you think, for one moment, that there might be other scams- like gun control- going on that you might not be aware of? Would you please take a look?"

Although this site was originated and designed by Bob Frenchu, Bob has decided to give up hosting and updating it. The new webmaster is W. Earl Allen, who will be doing the updating and changes from 2/2/2002 on. He intends to add a few tool articles to the site as time goes by, since as search engines locate it, it's sure to attract various types of Safety Bees whose only mission is to pollinate us all with government regulations that will keep us all "protected" and "secure." We were neither "protected" nor "secure" on September 11, 2001 because politicians have violated the Constitution by depriving Americans of their 2nd Amendment-guaranteed rights to self-defense against terrorists and other criminals. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, and by the way, the M.I.L.T. store is real -- and Bob Frenchu makes a buck from each item you buy -- and he's going to use those bucks to buy ammo.
