    Favorite Ron Swanson quote: "The whole point of this country is, if you want to eat nothing but garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds, and die of a heart attack at 43, you can. You are free to do so. To me, that's beautiful."

      A firearm is only as dangerous as its operator. With the proper training anyone can handle a firearm safely. Even if you do not like guns I suggest taking a gun safety course so that you can understand how one operates and functions and also so you know how to safely disarm and prove it safe in the event that you need to.

      You’ve used irony incorrectly.
      You should exactly expect a person who works for the government and believes the government to be a waste to act in such a way as to prove themselves right. His actions directly match his ideology.
      Here is the definition of irony based on your usage: “a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.”
      He says paying for government is a waste, and he acts in such a way as to be a waste of peoples’ tax money. It would be ironic if he said he believed it a waste and acted like Chris.
