Sure beats fighting someone else's war.

I saw the last of the cold war.... cold!
I froze my ass off in the Bering Sea.

Very disrespectful.



Killers will always find ways to kill.

I love your thread title. I was watching the temple shooting news yesterday when one of the reporters said something about "guns killing" so many people.

I tell you these guns are so dangerous. You had better have them tied down and locked up. They just might walk out the door and get in a car or bus and go all over town shooting at people.

I bet the reporter did not even realize how stupid she sounded.

As soon as we're able to shoot laser beams, that will be the "hot" (pun intended) gun to have.

Nevermind bullets when you can sear a hole through the middle of someone or melt their head off.

That's what they'll regulate.

Yes, but it still, with the exception of accidental discharges, requires a human to pull the trigger.

First a child should be trained from birth that a gun is to be respected and it is not a toy. Second, you do not leave a gun in a place a child that age can get to it. It just takes a little common sense. Our parents told us what would happen to the seat of our pants if they ever saw us touch a gun. We were also taught never to point a gun at anything you did not want to kill. And we were taught that a gun is loaded even if it is not.

I have noticed on the news that most of these accidents happen when the next door neighbor who has not been trained right goes into the bedroom and finds the gun and thinks it is a toy. Problem was not the gun. The problem was the lack of proper discipline. If a child is old enough to go next door visiting then he should have known better.

Same thing that happens if the child gets a hold of daddy's car keys, puts it in gear, and runs over his sister. Ban cars!

Blaming guns for Columbine is the same thing as blaming spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.

I am not afraid of a man that wants 100 guns but I am terrified of the man who wants only one.
