It's an observation. Interpret it as you will.

Didn't say it was for protection. Most are just hunters.

Loaded and just under the mattress. My kids are old enough that appreciation of the seriousness of guns exists. I am too paranoid, and piss too many bad guys off in the course of an average day for me not to have easy access to a gun. I agree though that if you have one you should shoot it periodically. Ammunition cost a ton, unfortunately, and is hard to find now.

Lucky I can buy ammo at gun shows.

Brovol, you get a pass. I'd be very paranoid in your shoes.

But Brov, if we simply got rid of the 2nd Amendment and made guns illegal those criminals that might have it out for you wouldn't have any guns, right? Make Standish a gun free zone, and then all will be well

Guns are a false sense of security period. I would love to see the right to bare arms totally removed from the constitution but realistically that probably won't happen anytime soon or ever. My solution is that gun ownership should be determined by counties or smaller geographic areas. Meaning that if you live in the country with wild animals running around your property you could own a gun. People who live in highly populated urban areas should not be able to own guns. All this of course comes with stricter background checks, maybe mandatory training period, assault weapon bans etc.

Fortunately, we have something called the Constitution to protect us from crazies like you.

The majority of people who own firearms are responsible. Who are you to tell me that I can't protect myself and my property from a would-be aggressor?

I don't own a firearm, but it's likely I will in the future after a boatload of proper training. And I can promise you it will be kept in an easy-to-access safe right by my bed.

Unfortunately our constitution allows crazies to get weapons and I have a problem with that. You want to waste your money on a gun that won't protect you from anything go ahead. If someone wants to shoot you they will, you can have a bazooka under your bed and you wouldn't do a damn thing about it. While you are it don't forget to set up a mine field around your house and supply your family with bullet proof vests, I mean you never know right?

As long as we're banning weapons, let's not forget, knives, box cutters, scissors, pencils, pens, sticks with points on them, kitchen utensils, straightened paper clips, axes, hatchets, lawn mower blades, chain saws, rope, wire, shoe laces, belts, anything you can strangle a person with, a bath tub, a bucket of water, anything you could drowned a person in, pointy umbrellas, forks, sharp glass, beer bottles, and let's not forget toys that can be mistaken as weapons, and of course we can't leave out plastic bags, and probably hundreds of other KILLING MACHINES that I haven't mentioned.

It's time to shut Ziplock and Glad down

Whenever the pro-gun people use this 'argument', it just makes you look like a complete idiot.

More people die every year in this country from bare hands (beating, choking, etc...) than from weapons classified as "assault weapons" by the government.

I believe the above is also true for blunt objects (pipes, bats, etc...)

Bare hands, cut'm off.

Good point, baseball, outlawed.

Plumbers must register their pipes as a deadly weapon. Home Depot is literally like walking into a Gun Store. The place is a storehouse of deadly weapons.

Your tounge, cut it out.

And what about having a "Rocket" as a mascot. Rockets hoist deadly weapons all over the world, killing innocent people. How dare you have such a brutal and disgusting mascot.

Only last Friday a boy brought cupcakes to school topped with toy army men. The school sent him packing. Clearly everyone would have equated the military using a gun with a insane loon shooting small children; one in the same, right. What was wrong with this kid

The assault weapon ban talk and bans of the past has as much to do with how easily they can become fully automatic than anything.

Yes, but what is your position on these weapons?


And the Chinese continue to clean our clock at everything.........they have these deadly wooden sticks

I believe everybody should be able to own all the guns of any kind they want.

Just we can only have one bullet at a time.

Call it the "Barney Fife Law."

^Actually along with assault weapons being restricted since they can become fully automatic in a hurry, it won't work unless they lock down the ammo. I'm thinking monitoring large scale ammo purchases is the most effective control available.

What's getting erie is that we haven't had some kid who's parents didn't buy him a puppy when he was four snap, and shoot up a place in a while. Tic toc.......

Regarding guns and bullets...what nutjobs!!!
