There’s no clowning around when suppertime arguments take a deadly turn in the harlequin household. Viewers are confronted with merry-andrew questions of punchinello entropy: Can civilization persist when no gathering is safe from concealed firearms? Can the belief system of another hominid truly pose a threat to life and limb? And why are clowns the subject of absurdist horror films? No homespun hierarchy is safe from second amendment rights in a domestic setting, even when schmaltz is on the menu.
