Otho, i'm sorry, I wasnt really responding to you, I was just piggybacking off your post so that I could add my two cents about Grav's previous post.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be testy ... I normally stay out of this thread.

If anyone is really interested they can go to CDC's website and look up stats for deaths by all causes.

If guns are the issue themselves why are the streets of Canada not running red with blood as the streets of the US are ?

That would be liquid littering which is rude and un-Canadian.

If violent movies and video games are the issue themselves why are the streets of Canada not running red with blood as the streets of the US are ?

Figures out next month are expected to confirm the long-term decline in gun crime which resulted in 39 people shot dead in 2011/12 compared with a high of 96 ten years earlier.

But improved intelligence-led operations, poor quality guns and munitions, better community links to divert gang activity, and improved surgery for gunshot victims have all contributed to reduced deaths from gun violence, according to experts and police.

A comparative shortage of guns in circulation has triggered a price spike in the underworld firearms market, according to detectives.

Our most basic right is the vote. The vote is limited - one vote per person per election, must be a citizen, must be registered to vote, citizens in prison can't vote, must be 18 or older to vote, etc. Why is that we can limit voting rights, but not gun rights?

Guns certainly won't be killing people in my house.

what happened foot? Did she sneak them out??

I'm so sorry for what is going on with you right now...I don't pretend to know what it is but I know you're hurting and I'm truly sorry.

I guess so. Thanks. I know it will be over by summer. The key is to keep things amicable as long as the kids are minors.

happy place...

I don't know what to say that doesn't sound---platitudinous...maybe you could smash some dishes?

Well, now we know what all those tobacco marketing executives are doing now.

Learning to properly handle,(and learning by mistakes every kid is bound to make), a single shot 22, is a smarter option. If a kid makes the ultimate mistake of shooting a person, including themselves, a 22 gives a good survival rate.

I don't approve of minors shooting high powered rifles. They kick, and kick hard. Children should not be subjecting their still growing joints and connective tissue, to repeated heavy blows.
Sure, they get thumped playing sports and general rough-housing, but that's not the same. A day at the range would be like hitting themselves with a hammer, in the same spot, about a hundred times.

If only kids understood what a burden this huge penis is... sigh
