Nope.

I didn't really think that but I don't handle compliments well.

On the contrary, you've managed to squeeze a refrain and a second
verse out of this one.

FWIW, I agree there are lots of people who should not carry.
AAMOF, I
think this
thread was started by one.

And you would be wrong. But, it's understandable that Wolfgang's
toadies
would tend to think alike.

Toadies?! Good God, you are an ignorant stain! There are
precious few in
this group who don't have my teeth marks in their asses....chop

That's why toadies enlist as toadies, Wolfgang.

"Yeah.....what the boss said.....right"

You ever given any serious consideration to the fascinating question
of whether there is ANYTHING you understand? Um.......do you
understand the question?

Thank you, Wolfgang.

You're welcome.

My spelling has already been corrected.

Well, good. Then you can move on to more serious issues.

Gee...no. Why don't you explain it to me?

Here's the *really* scary part: There are people out there, without guns, that
want to hurt you and your family. Not for any particular reason, they just
like
that sort of stuff. I hope your library has signs to keep them at bay. ;-)

Certainly part of it is knowing and not-knowing. Leading a sheltered life.
Ignorance is bliss and all that. Before the sign went up, in my closeted
life full of denial, no one had a gun. Now I have a constant reminder that
there are those out there who do. I suppose I rather enjoyed my previous
life of ignorance, and look with no little envy upon citizens of those more
enlightened nations whose governments make efforts to keep tools
specifically designed to kill off the streets.

Bic pens, box cutters and airliners can be used to do harm, but they also
have other, reasonable uses. I'm unaware of any such use for a hand gun.
I've met thousands (thousands, I tell you!) of people toting such things as
safety knives, Swiss Army knives, paring knives, and butter knives but have
yet to feel nervous about their armed-ness. Perhaps because I could plainly
see that they were so armed? However, the knowledge that I have no
knowledge of who might (or might not, mind you) be toting a Saturday Night
Special bothers me.

Heck, there are even those out there who are armed with dangerous ideas and
who mean me and my family harm. I'm OK with that as well. I've yet to see
a report on the evening news of a child found with a 44 caliber hole through
him, made by a tenet, belief or religion.

There are whackos out there, certainly. Equally certainly, if they want to
do me harm and a gun is not available, they will do harm with the Bic pen,
box cutter, airliner, nastily written Usenet post or even a 2xl streamer
hook. But giving them the opportunity to arm themselves with a tool whose
only function is to cause bodily harm is stupidity.

My library does have a sign to keep such whackos at bay, by the way. It
hangs right over the circulation desk at says "check books out here."

IMHO.

Where are these statistics?


Same place that the spey info came from:
the web. Seek and ye shall find.


Interesting. The NRA's monthly magazine always contains a page
with
short blurbs about people who defended their homes or business
using
guns. The stories get weaker and weaker with every passing month,
which suggests that these episodes are becoming harder to find.




Probably because the people that tend to tell stories like that are
the
most likely to die in accidental discharge accidents.

Or end up in ROFF.

but they raise exceptional children!

The damage done by SOME religions is worse than death.
