Okay, that was truly weird.
Why would amazon link to a non Orwell book when you put an Orwell title up?Are we sure there weren't 78 shooters using 78 high powered bb guns? After all as I believe you allude to later on the page, we have - Texas, Vice President, shooting, Kenedy, millionaires, Was anyone filming? I don't trust those diagrams i've been seeing in the paper.
I spent time with my gun nut friend last night, and he is furious, because this hurts his cause. Gun ownership, hunting, Texas, America all take a hit on this one. His (my friend) dad taught him hunting when he was a child. He knows the difference between a killdee (sp) and a quail by sight sound and flight. They used dogs to gather their kills, not billionaires. Dogs are shorter.
I wonder if this ranch is an animal farm, meaning a place where animals are cultivated so rich people can come shoot things more easily. Like a trout stocked lake.
If whittington was holding dead quail, or was it pheasant, (I don't remember) and had pellets go through him and dirty feathers and then laid down covered in holes in a dusty field, then the possibility of massive infection seems likely. If they had some bourbon, they could have poured it all over him to help disinfect.
If the vice president had been firing a shot gun next to his own ears, or had ear protection on, how was he supposed to hear harry say "Oh crap, I'm back Here!" ?
I wish my thinking was more organized.
