LOS ANGELES -- Six nails embedded in the skull of construction worker
Isidro Mejia, 39, after an industrial incident caused a nail gun to
shoot nails into his head and brain on April 19, 2004, are seen in
this X-ray image. Five of the six nails were removed in surgery that
day and the sixth was removed from his face on April 23, after the
swelling went down. (05/05/04 AP photo)

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.
