Maybe I need to draw a picture
I've been pointing this out for a while, but someone made a meme of it.
Of course, it leaves out the dueling culture aspect of this piece of trash, but you can't have everything.
Got it? This comes from a sci-fi novel and has no basis in reality.

Tom Tomorrow Asks...
A question that is always on my mind in a society where it is considered "normal" to walk around carrying weapons:
If you had actually read Robert Heinlein's Beyond This Horizon, you would know that in the "Armed Society" which is considered "a polite society" that there is the custom of dueling to keep societal order. Someone can wear distinctive clothing to show an unwillingness to duel, but this results in a lower social status.
That may sound appealing to you, but it's science fiction and fantasy to everyone else.

More on the Latest WalMart Shooting in Phoenix
Shooter: Quadlin, pictured, told police he pulled his gun on Belinte Chee during the fight because he felt he was losing
The Daily Mail
A Phoenix, Arizona father shot dead an unarmed stranger in the middle of a suburban Walmart Sunday, but police have not booked him because they say the shooting was in self-defense.
Cyle Wayne Quadlin, 25, opened fire at Kriston Charles Belinte Chee, 36, following a fight at a service counter in the mega-retailer at around 4 p.m., according to Chandler police.
Detectives say the store's surveillance video shows the two men arguing before the shooting Sunday afternoon. Quadlin told police he pulled his gun when he felt Belinte Chee was winning.

'Mr. Quadlin was losing the fight and indicated he "was in fear for his life," so he pulled his gun and shot Mr. Belinte Chee,' police spokesman Joe Favazzo said.
Belinte Chee was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. According to his Facebook page, the victim has a wife and young son.
