Sister Get Your Gun

We do things a bit differently here in South Carolina ... Rather than actually fix our state's bass-ackward tax code, we prefer to keep our citizens stupid and then offer them gimmicks involving guns. Only in South Carolina (which boasts the nation's lowest high school graduation rate) will you
