Molly Roberts: The distraction of 30 to 50 feral hogs can take us only so far

"If you're on here arguing the definition of 'assault weapon' today, you're part of the problem," the musician Jason Isbell wrote on Twitter on Sunday in the aftermath of multiple mass shootings this weekend. "You know what an assault weapon is, and you know you don't need one."

"Legit question for rural Americans," one William McNabb replied. "How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?"

The tweet went viral, and now the numbers are all over the internet. They're entertaining, but they're eerie, too.
