guns

Yep! And clean and gut whatever I shoot or catch.

Not the nicest way I`ve heard a wedding described but hey.

Me, too. I take the wrapper the grocery store put on and put it in the trash. If I need to take the silverskin off the pork, I have some lovely boning knives.

Yes, but frame of mind can't be regulated...(yet)...I think. Weapons can be.

And that's why regulating guns doesn't work.

No matter how you argue the point, this one fundamental fact never changes:


Guns don't kill, people do.

So the children killed by the accidental discharge of a loaded weapon aren't really dead?

 

[menotyou]

If that isn't one of the stupidest comment I've ever seen come out of your bubble, I'd be hard pressed to come up with one to top it. Did the gun jump up and load itself and shoot those kids?

Its too bad the employee will probably get fired. They deserve a raise for taking out the bad guy before he had a chance to waste more taxpayer dollars by going back through the criminal justice system.

Maybe we just regulate to make us feel good. Like renaming bridges or airports or pinning medals on Don Rumsfeld.

Maybe we should regulate people. Have to take an I.Q., and a life skills test, and demonstrate the ability to raise said offspring without assistance before one could have them.

Might not cut down on gun deaths but it would definitely take Maury Povich off the air.

Wow. Someone's panties are riding deep in the land of 'roids.

Did you actually read that or are you Kleining it? The first thing it say in bold type is that :
"Many Deaths and
Injuries Caused by
Firearms Could Be
Prevented"

It doesn't say anything about guns being the killer only that preventive devices could prevent accident deaths. There`s three words that can solve the problem immediately. RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP.

In fact I did read it--did you?

"Firearms are the fourth leading cause of accidental deaths among 5 to 14 year olds and the third leading cause of accidental deaths among 15 to 24 year olds. Across all age groups, accident shootings are the sixth leading cause of potential years of life lost because of accidents."

Yes, I did. Couldn`t help but notice the word "accidental" over and over. Now ask yourself wherein does the responsibility lay? The kids? They make stupid kid mistakes. The gun? It`s an inanimate object, no more dangerous when handled correctly than a fork. Or the gun owner who did not own the gun responsibly?

Firearms are not the fourth leading cause of accidental deaths or third, etc etc. Irresponsible gun ownership is.

These kids would be alive today were it not for the irresponsible gun owners.

Just like the kids in CT. would be alive if someone would have taken care of the fireplace properly. Shoulda, woulda, coulda,...give it up.

Agreed, and 93% of the respondents to the poll in that story also agree with us.

Irresponsible car owners kill people every day. Why are you not rallying to ban all cars?

 

[over9five]

I should have said FAR MORE irresponsible car owners.......
