OrganDonor Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 One day we may get some common sense and try to reduce the # of guns in circulation. The more guns the better. If everyone packed heat, crime would decrease. Plus the stupid/criminal types would get weeded out real quick. Guns are great, if used properly. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Would crime decrease if everyone carried grenades? Quote
Dechristo Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Hand grenades are great, if used properly. Quote
pope Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 When your home gets invaded, especially if you have kids, you'll probably wish you had traded in your VW bus and water pipe for a six shooter. Quote

If everyone packed heat, crime would decrease. Plus the stupid/criminal types would get weeded out real quick. Guns are great, if used properly. This is wishful thinking. More likely we'd see more people killed by guns, because they are so often NOT used properly. More arguments would be settled with bullets, rather than words or fists. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 When your home gets invaded, especially if you have kids, you'll probably wish you had traded in your VW bus and water pipe for a six shooter. When your kid takes your gun to school and shoots 6 classmates and a teacher and then himself, you'll probably wish you had bought Hello Kitty socks instead of a gun Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Dad? Edited October 25, 2006 by tvashtarkatena Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Starlings are evil. That's why I own a pellet rifle. A few years ago, my daughter's kindergarten teacher informed us that my daughter said; "Daddy has a gun but he only uses it to kill monster birds and bad people." When your home gets invaded, especially if you have kids, you'll probably wish you had traded in your VW bus and water pipe for a six shooter. When your home gets invaded by evil starlings, you'll probably wish your VW bus was running. Edited October 25, 2006 by tvashtarkatena Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Hand grenades are great, if used properly. Particularly when those hand tied flies fail to bring home the bacon. Quote

You are more capable of climbing 5.13 than my children are capable of behaving the way you describe. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 You are more capable of climbing 5.13 than my children are capable of behaving the way you describe. I've know three people who were accidentally shot as kids by their friends while playing with guns, one through the chest at point blank range; all smart kids with good parents who obviously thought the same damn thing. The statistics here, as compared to incidents of protecting your home from invaders, are grim. Good luck with that. Hope you've got your guns well hidden and locked, but then, you wouldn't be ready when the invading hordes beat down your door, would you? I also hope you're planning on using a shotgun...so you don't wind up shooting someone else's kid (another common occurance). Quote
catbirdseat Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 This discussion and this topic has more to do with emotion than reason. It will forever be so. People fear the unknown threat from outside much more than the more familiar and tangible threat from within. Quote
Dechristo Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 People fear the unknown threat from within others. Quote
hawkeye69 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 advocates for gun control must have a lot more confidence and trust (in our politicians that they can get something right) than i do... Quote
Dechristo Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 When enlightened, you will cease striving for gun control. Quote
Duchess Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I pity the next squirrel that tries to fuck with me. Don't let Duchess here that... As long as you eat 'em - then it's okay. Quote

I keep my kids locked up and my guns loaded, cocked, and ready on the coffee table. Drop by sometime. Oh wait, that's not a threat. We can shoot starlings together. Quote
