Perhaps you would have preferred her to utilize the rectum carry method?

An article in the newspaper today said that both husband and wife were really into guns. They spent a lot of time at the shooting range, and also hunted. He had just given her a special purse for Christmas, one that had a special zipped pocket for a firearm, and that was the purse she took to the store with her when she got shot. If it hadn't been for the Christmas gift (and her own carelessness), the accident wouldn't have happened. Imagine how her husband (now widowed) feels.

I take it you mean critized. Scrutinized is not negative it means they carefully studied the claims.

Ever heard of the saying, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns?" A scary thought, IMHO

Well, like they would say about a skydiver, rock climber, or race car driver: At least she died doing what she loved.

The only problem with the way you look at this is you approach it as a need rather than a Constitutional Amendment as part of our Bill of Rights. So it doesn't matter whether we "need" a specific type or quantity of Firearm. It is a Constitutional Right.

Most guns have hair triggers which are easy to squeeze off.

You do not have any experience with that of which you speak. You really should not spread such nonsense.

Well I can tell you something. If guns were outlawed here in North Idaho, there would be quite a lot of blood spilled in the process of eradicating the guns and lots of hidden weapons.

You are wrong. Unloaded Guns kill people all the time. And that is because the first rule of Gun Safety is there is no such thing as an unloaded Gun. Guns are always loaded.

If you have put a Gun in your mouth and pulled the trigger than you are a Nut and it is my sincere hope you do not kill yourself or anyone else because of your arrogance and negligence.

People need cars. Cars serve a purpose.
