A Harebrained Defense of Assault Weapons

Re: “Rethinking the Assault Weapons Ban After Oklahoma’s Tragedy,” April 28.

So Congressman Howard (Buck) McKeon has found a “legitimate” use for his assault weapon: hunting rabbits. So now all of us in his district can rest easy, with our fearless leader defending us against those dreaded invaders from the deep South--the wild rabbits that struck terror even in the stout heart of Jimmy Carter.

Clearly, our Howard has passed the Buck stage. The Buck stops here. The era of Howard (Bunny) McKeon begins.
