Burt Gummer, a TRUE American


See? This is why we need huge stockpiles of weapons. What would those liberals have done without Burt? Maybe the lady scientist, with all of her fancy book learnin', could have discovered the perfect cactus to cram into the mouths of those tremor monsters. Maybe some chemical reaction between the cactus juice and the creatures' saliva would have made their tummies sore so they would stop being mean to people. Yeah right.

Roughly half of gun owners are liberal/politically neutral, so...yay for needless tribalism?

We just tell pollsters that so the government won't come to our house at some point in the future to try to take our firearms. Among gun owners who even admit to owning firearms, anyway.

"You didn't come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya?"

Burt also used household chemicals like sulfur, KNO3 and charcoal dust and made bombs. He has the know how to defeat worms, aliens, giant bugs, giant donkey kongs, etc.

Except none of it really helped. He still had to run and leave everything behind, and as Earl said, the Graboids would have destroyed their place in half an hour.
The film shows that brains win over mere firepower.

All three were either directly or indirectly killed bay a gun or a bomb.
