Not to be rude or anything, but how did you just happen to be with your sister with a gun when dudes were trying to rape her. sounds like a very strange incident.

Yeah, we don't do that kind of thing every day.
1988 Indiana State Fair.
I had my nephews playing games in the Midway. She went back to the car first. They served beer at the fair at the time.
www.jpfo.org has lots of good articles if you want something more professional. (Jews for the preservation of firearm ownership)

Don't get too bent Seamonkey. Here is a single example. There is a lot of this sort of thing in there:
--- Quote ---It is in fact interesting research. Swimming pools and bathtubs kill more children than guns kill PEOPLE, 5 to 1, in my state.

This is, presumably a true premise. But you are leaving out important information that may require a different conclusion than the one you are coming to. Like, perhaps, is the ratio of bathtubs to guns in your state higher than 5 to 1 (The answer to that question is yes. It is WAY WAY WAY higher)?

yep. it's like when people tell me that flying is safe. "More people die from car crashes then airplane crashes each year." Yeah, well look at the number of planes vs. the number of cars. duh. put the same number of planes as there are cars in the sky, then we'll see.

Drew,
I'm starting to think you actually believe what you are saying is relevant or useful, rather than just a funny way to get under people's skin.
If you are in fact serious I think I can clear this up. I think this is just a.....what do they call them......failure to communicate. For the remainder of this discussion (and any future threads started by DD), when someone refers to a gun killing somebody, be charitable. It is our way of saying that the gun played a central role in the cause of that person's death.
I'm starting to vomit blood. You're becoming dangerous to me. Now, I know that technically it would be the vomiting that killed me, but only someone in serious need of an enema would not understand what people were talking about when they said that I was killed by DrewKaree.
