I'm willing to make ordinary citizens pissed off if it means reducing needless fatalities.

I'd give up my gun if it guaranteed jackholes didn't get them. IE, people who go into gyms and classrooms and museums and public meets with little dicks and big guns.

IJS, the little bugger would figure out how to defeat any security we could come up with. He can combine creativity and intelligence with terrifying effectiveness.

IJS, this is a level of awareness that not everybody else who would otherwise own weapons shows.

Yup. I want to keep guns out of the hands of those jackholes. Dude who showed up at the presidential health care town hall with an AK-47? Seriously, explain to me why ANY non-law enforcement, non-military person needs an AK-goddamn-47.

t edit That's a rhetorical "explain to me," not directed at connie.

I had this weird dream where I killed someone with a screwdriver like that. I rammed it into the bottom of his chin up into his brain. (It was self-defense.)

Well, I know who's never getting invited over to Calli's place.

It all depends—will Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh be there too?

No weapons except Leif.

I think he still collects nuts, bolts, wires, and other metal things he can sneak. He says they are for the robot he's going to build.

True, an AR-15 is a better rifle and it's not a commie made gun.

See, I knew someone would see the light!

...wait.

Also no food, schools, or clean water, but hey! Guns

You mean not paying for the food, schools and clean water of lazy fucking poor people!

too many black folks, too, mostly

Pfft. We're post-racial now. Hell, even Nazis can be black guys and gay jews now.

Someone remind me that trepanation is NOT a good headache solution. It's starting to sound v. v. appealing.

Sure, people say that but I've had headaches where I'm pretty sure they're all birthers.

No weapons in our house until Leif has moved out

Good call my friend.

I'm not so much worried that he'd use as that he'd soup it up and then use it for something REALLY COOL.

I've got Wüsthofs.

Gesundheit?

It's already going to be a miracle if I make it through the day without punching someone in the face. I don't need to be armed.

They should put that on one of those 'kitten hanging from a limb' posters.

I see it as a recreational sport, but not an athletic sport.

Though there are certainly athletic aspects -- aim, focus, strenght, impressing babes...

Well, I know who's never getting invited over to Calli's place.

Besides Leif, that is -- he'd have that sucker rigged to a trebuchet or a potato cannon in no time.

It all depends—will Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh be there too?

Were you perhapse on a death panel?

I think he still collects nuts, bolts, wires, and other metal things he can sneak. He says they are for the robot he's going to build.

A self-reparing battlefield zombie robot? Hey, the military says they aren't going to do it. It's Leif or North Korea as long as Joe is tied up with that transporter.

When I was a kid, we visited a family on a farm. While our parents socialized, one of the kids showed me how to make little bombs by sawing shotgun shells in half and removing the shot.

I considered doing this to make an explosive warhead for a model rocket (plenty of room on our farm for testing it) but I never got around to it.

So I may have taken one or two of my dad's shotgun shells, but I never blew anything up with them....

I've got Wüsthofs.

Yeah, I've got my Sabatiers, but I'm damned if I'ma gonna waste the blade on some worthless piece of crap.

I keep my maglite by my bed. Not only is it good in a power cut, but it packs a wallop like a sonofabitch.

Yep. Got one of those, too. Also carry one in my car.

I have to wonder if there's something inherently wrong with me that I really love the idea of beating a potential intruder/attacker to bits, rather than shooting. Clearly, I've got a lot of pent up rage.
