1. There are at least three more guns I want to buy before I say "enough"
   
I would like to get a hunting revolver, a Browning Citori Feather O/U, and a precision rifle in the 338+ class.

23. Too bad those kids that died won't get to collect anything...
   
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 05:20 PM by BushDespiser12
but your collection is really more important than the safety of those children anyway.

36. Don't worry, be happy.
   
Ignore the consequences of our antiquated gun laws. Again, your collection is what really matters.

cognitive dissonance.

14. You're showing your true colors...
   
Somebody posts a topic about dead children who were shot and all you can do is encourage people to buy more guns. I consider that to be immoral (and not at all clever).

16. I didn't encourage anybody to buy guns.
   
I was responding to the OP's question as to whether or not there are enough guns. My answer is NO.

And you can take your judgments of my morality and cram them squarely up your fourth point of contact.

3. Amen Redstone.
   
Step one, stop manufacturing new ones and prohibit importation. Step two, close down retail sales. Step three?

8. Step three

Oh wait, that was step 1.

Sorry, carry on.

12. You are aware AK is a state, no?
   
Oops, did I mess with someone's preconceived notions?

And since you advocate wiping one's ass with the Constitution, I guess I know what you value.

19. Apologies to you and Alaska.
   
I'll defend you only to this extent: Single shot, front loading, as the founding fathers knew them.

25. You still advocate infringement of civil rights
   
Just as Bush does. Care to explain why?

We have laws to deal with those who kill. We do not restrict a right because it may be misused; we only restrict misuse of that right. As it should be in any free society.

28. We just disagree on where the limits are drawn.
   
Hopefully, you concede some limits. Not home brew nukes right?

You know, I saw this bonfire over there on Skins's island, and thought about bringing it here.

But then I decided, nah, it's just the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive trying to gain credibility as being a caring and sensitive person, when it's all a lie.

When the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive starts expressing concern for infants murdered by abortion profiteers and the victims of political repression and suppression, such as those under the late homocidal genocidal Saddam Hussein, I'll take him seriously when he "agonizes" about other lives, other people.

Until the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive does that, he's just blowing farts.

Aww BOOM!!! I love that!

I like sergeiAK....a DUmmie with some quick wit!  Very rare.

Can't they rejoice over all the guns that didn't kill anyone today?

No.  If one gun kills someone, they're all bad./DU

59. Perspective...
 A terrible thing when people, particularly children, die before thier time.


Not so terrible that perspective should be lost however.


280 million guns in private hands in America.

80+ million gun owners.

13 thousand firearm homicides.

Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes   

Fatal Crashes: 

                                                                         
2006............  2005............2004........  2003

38,588,,,,,,,,,, 39,252,,,,,,,, 38,444,,,,,,,, 38,477

Of course, nothing near the million and a half murdered before birth...but still way higher than those horrible, violent firearms.

73. We can't do much about the guns now that there are so many...
   
We need to focus on the nutjobs behind the trigger. People are getting very desperate these days... and you know what desperate people do. So much unhappiness, so much pain, so much poverty... I blame Bush.
