Today’s “Der Bund” mentions the National Riffle Association. Let’s see… Wikipedia defines “Riffle” as

Riffle

A common shuffling technique is called a riffle, in which half of the deck is held in each hand with the thumbs inward, then cards are released by the thumbs so that they fall to the table intertwined. Many also lift the cards up after a riffle, forming what is called a bridge which puts the cards back into place.

This can also be done by placing the halves flat on the table with their rear corners touching, then lifting the back edges with the thumbs while pushing the halves together. While this method is a bit more difficult, it is often used in casinos because it minimizes the risk of exposing cards during the shuffle.

That’s all nice and good, but what on earth could a society dedicated to shuffling decks of cards possibly have against regulating gun ownership? I do wonder…
