Flying to Nevada from Illinois with a gun
fredster:
I have had a gun within 20 feet of me in my house all of my life. I shot my first gun at 4 1/2. To me they are like screwdrivers. You have a hammer, a screwdriver, and a gun somewhere in your house.
I don't think anybody has to justify having guns to anybody. I don't think you have to justify having a car, or being able to travel.
Sorry you suckers overseas if you don't have access to firearms. I feel for you.
And it's just like shmokes to bring a knife to a gunfight.

That's really odd.
If guns are killing so few people, compared to other things, my only point is, there are causes of death that need to be addressed, before taking away my guns. My guns are locked up, as would be my clowns, if I owned them, with the exception of the one on me now. (Gun not clown)
I spend more hours with a gun than a car, or water, and yet I have choked on water, and been hit by other cars (twice) and my gun has never choked, killed, hit, anyone. It did scare three guys from Gary Indiana once, but that is a good thing.

I think it's cos we don't just consider the things in a vacuum. We consider them in more of an overall context, and bathtubs serve so many purposes that we would lose more without them than we would gain. There are grey areas for things. For example a friend of mine died from overdosing on Methadone. But Methadone also saves the lives of Heroin addicts by helping them beat their addiction. One possible answer is regulating methadone to try to keep it out of the hands of people who have no good reason to have it.
I'm glad you stopped the rape, but anecdotal evidence is pretty weak when you're trying to support something. A google search for the phrase "raped at gunpoint" (in quotes) turns up 710 hits. In reality I think that guns are probably neither the primary cause of, or solution to rape.

So.....Drew.....You walked right into my trap. You believe that Ginsu knives can cut cut paper-thin tomatoes, eh????
Well....I've got news for you, buddy.
Ginsu knives don't cut tomatoes. People cut tomatoes.
mwahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Schmokes, do you drink?
As much as we disagree I think we would still have a great time over some dark beer.

No doubt. Plus, I'm much more tolerable in person. I don't get to spend five minutes composing everything I say before I say it in conversation. And dark beer is sooo tasty.
And hey....we're already neighbors. I'm in Utah. Less than an hour from the Arizona border on I-15.

So methadone is like pot or clowns?
I thought this was about guns and their inability to kill people without bullets or other people.

The vomit would be the thing that killed me....you can rest easy knowing you're off the hook, shmokes...as long as you aren't a fastball pitcher with a handful of bullets.
