Damn. I can't believe folks let kids jack them up. Take a break!

I agree! Why can't these pro-gunners just cut it out?

Bang! There. Now I don't have to answer you.

I heard on the news the other night a kid (9 years old?) was caught in gang crossfire as he was playing outside, riding his bike. He was killed.

If that 9 year old had his own gun this never would have happened.

Gang members report the gun was not meant for killing; they were going to use it to stir a big pot of beef stew and it just went off.

Cool... I have not seen a post that ignorant in ages.

Shawnee123 · 05-25-2007, 10:51 AM

monster · 05-25-2007, 12:17 PM

Shawnee123 · 05-25-2007, 12:19 PM

He means he doesn't appreciate my sense of humor and irony.

Oh, and he doesn't agree.

Hey all you gunners, should pelican be allowed to own a gun? Would that be responsible gun ownership?

wolf · 05-25-2007, 01:12 PM

Have pelican fill out this 4473, and we'll see where it goes from there.

Trilby · 05-25-2007, 01:20 PM

Huh. I happen to know that this particular pelican won't pass the background check. He's an illegal immigrant.

Now. why can't we all just say Some People Like Guns and Some People Don't Like Guns? That's one way to get all you crazy Americans to settle down. Just Be Nice to one another and it'll all come out in the wash.

Just call me the

with a

(actually, I don't have a gun. I didn't pass the background check!)

here's another.

The constitution gives right to bear arms/bare arms/whatever. Would it be unconstitutional to insist that everyone had a gun? Is there a right to be unarmed? Would gun crime be reduced if everyone were armed?

The Constitution doesn't "give" us any rights. It protects the rights we're born with. We have a right to defend ourselves using any weapons we choose and we have the right to choose not to own any. We do NOT have the right to disarm others or to limit which weapons they may own; nor do we have the right to use the force of government to do it for us.

Actually in your case, you're not only ignorant, willfully stupid, and pathological liar, you also have the added bonus of being an asshole.

Yes, let's all tell the gangs to willingly give up all guns, and then we can live under rainbows with the Easter Bunny and Peter Pan. Oh wait, this is reality and there are bad people in the world.

Only an idiot would try to use the force of government to limit which methods people may use to defend themselves and then use those who violate the law as a reason for attacking the rights of those who don't.
