don't get me going..............it's out of control. 😯

That letter should be forwarded to every governor in every State.

Oh...and Canada's PM too.
(Just in case he's thinking of allowing guns to be sold in Wal Marts here.)

Incredibly sad situation.
Barb

I second what Tim said...

Also, Barb, is your signature from a Zappa song?

The trick is,you need to buy the guns first-LOL

It's my freedom, and proud of it.

I have had someone break into my house when I lived in a different town. I sicked my dog on him and he was big, a very big person. He almost killed my dog, and God knows what he would have done to me (I was 7th grade) if my dog didn't stop him. He had a knife/club in his hand, hard to tell it was dark. Al I can say that will never happen to me again! I refuse to fight a stranger breaking into my house with a knife to knife combat. Or live in a cage like you have to in Mexico. There is bars on every window in Mexico, because people are not allowed to have guns. Instead of shooting people there they hack off all your limbs, and the only reason it stays there is because they know our civilians are armed.

Just my 2 cents. 😡

Here's a loop hole..........someone sent me an email with this in it......................is this a real nail gun or what??

*******************************************************************
A must have in every home in America !

For everyone who would rather not have a gun in the house!

In view of the recent Supreme Court ruling, sales of this new product may skyrocket.

Washington thinks they are going to take away our guns, so check this out. I like it!

NAIL GUNS! AND, you don't even have to REGISTER them or have LICENSES for them!

AND, you don't have to worry about them being CONCEALED!

Just a LOT of good stuff to do with THIS!

Once in awhile something so totally cool comes out that even a guy who doesn't normally even

know what he'd like for Christmas would immediately ask for it:

Thank you, DeWalt!!!

New Nail Gun, made by DeWalt

It can drive a 16-D nail through a 2x4 at 200 yards.

This makes construction a breeze, you can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.

Hundred round magazine.

Someone invades your home, just nail his ass.

Aaron, I can't even imagine how horrible that experience must've been for you at that age.
How awful.
Bill Maher has some stimulating conversations...

A couple of weeks ago, a 60+ lady in her home heard an intruder in her house.
She screamed "get outta my house", and went after him with a baseball bat.
He apparently ran before she got to him.
Canada grows some pretty mean seniors....rah rah rah!

Gonna go buy a baseball bat... :glasses9:

Or a couple of palm huts.

Wouldn't the compressor running be the give-away? :laughing7:

This is how I think when I hear the "If i had a gun in my house when i was broken into" (im not judging im saying this in the spirit o conversation)

I have a rock. It is a very, very special rock as it keeps tigers away from my house. I have never seen a tiger in my area, therefore the rock is doing its job quite well.

This is a logical falacy because I know for a fact that tigers dont live here, yet THERE ARE NO TIGERS SO IT MUST BE THE ROCK RIGHT?

THe glorification and easy access to guns, makes it more likely that someone breaking in with a gun. Pulling a gun on a robber makes it more then likely he will use his (if he has one). IT also opens up a whole other can of worms. Why should people NEED to break in? WHy should they need violence to survive as such? Where were the parents in the kids lives? Where were the cops? Where were neighbors who used to keep an eye out?

There was a story last week about a lady who was broken into, and hid in a closet with her kids. The robber opened up the closet, and she let loose a whole clip into his face and neck (yeah, somehow he survived!). If she had a knife or bat the situation would not have been any different, and as you can see, having a gun didnt prevent the robber from getting into the house, or stop her kids from seeing mommy shoot the stranger.

If anything people shouldnt feel the need to protect there home so much that they need a small armory. That is a social issue with the societys rules and culture, not just guns in themselves.

That is hilarious!

back to what Andy was posting

I think his/the point was,that it is easier (seemingly)to buy guns than beer!

Not to mention(although I will)that in this country,sex is more taboo in movies(at least) than violence....

but like Tim said(I think he said)dont get me started.

sex is more taboo in movies(at least) than violence

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

Yet the "experts" say violence in films/video games DOES NOT lead to violence in society.
But the folks who NEED to see a lot of porn probably aren't satisfied just seeing it.

I think those experts need to increase their medication.

Whatever happened to dignity, decency and respect...for oneself, for other people's property, for authority.
I think a part of it has to do with recent events like Wall Street crooks, who still ended up getting bonuses.
Nobody went to jail, but should have.

My local government in BC is all about fees and permits and red tape.
You can't swing a cat (pun) without a costly permit, and nobody knows where the money goes.
Into a deep government pit, so they can hire more bureaucrats.
My local water authority, a few years ago during a really bad drought, said they were going to ensure people didn't fill up their swimming pools by doing fly-overs in airplanes! And then they complain the water authority is broke, because of low revenue streams, they can't fix infrastructure.
Duh...somebody should look up "cause and effect".

Big brother is a moron.
But frankly, I'm sick of being the little brother that pays for everything.

I'd like to build a 10-foot wall around my place.
Add a plexiglass roof...presto, a GH. :happy5:

But I digress...

Barb

I hear ya Barb...........some people just need to control other people............eventually it will break the bank. 😥

People will be what they are with or without.

Food for thought.
A person can walk into a crowd with a gallon of gas and a lighter and kill many, but yet any one with a few dollar can buy as much as they want.
I don't think I will lose sleep knowing good people have gas tanks at thier homes. The crazy will find their way!

I can only see two ways of protecting your home. Bars or weapons, and I don't live in a cage. The meth user don't break in many homes around here, ask them why? They don't want to get shot! And also to comment on the lady that shot the guy in the face from when she was hidding in the closest, it must have worked? the guy lived but so did she! Her out come could have been much different if she had to protect her family with a knife. Give me a break! There is not a person here that would not use any means possible to protect thier family from someone that invades thier home. When a person breaks in your home their intentions are never good! If that ever happens, and your choice of protection was either a knife or gun I would hope for anyones family that person would protect them with a gun. And why wouldn't they.

And yes people are right why live in fear, guess what I don't!

Aaron, re the link you posted.

Guessing it's 80% that that culture is the problem; this generation won't work as hard--or as long--as their parents did with decent work to get ahead.
These kids had the same opportunities as anyone else...but chose gangs and drugs.
I feel so sorry for their parents.

I don't live in a cage

You don't even cage your yuccas for winter 😆
