Do you own a gun?

[DanB]

You're right, it makes 100% so far

[GepperRankins]

At this point, onwankersballs, maybe he can answer.

you know he'd say the same. you think you can catch him out or something?

the reason is the climate of fear* you have which makes you think everyones out to kill you. over here we tend to take a step back and look at the situation, we realise we don't all need guns to protect ourselves.

*love that term

a non-citizen who is uninformed about american gun laws doesn't validate your point.

Ok you've said you aren't scared of burglars numerous times.

Why aren't you scared?

I've said it numerous times 'cause you asked me numerous times. Last night a bit of a blur, eh

You'd not asked me why.

I'm not scared of burglars because I don't consider household intruders a threat to me; I've never been burgled, no-one in my family has nor any of my friends.

It's pretty quiet around here, much like where you live. Except no guns.

You might say 'What if ... ' but to that I'd tell you that I'm not scared of the society in which I live.

You've helped me illustrate my original point.

it's not far from the truth though. It wasn't long ago that almost anyone could walk in off the streets and buy ammunition and rifles/shotguns from any Wal-Mart in the country.
our system of background checks and all that isn't very old at all.

In fact, it wasn't until Sam Walton died that that his family gave in to the pressure of protests & political correctness.
