Seriously, explain to me why ANY non-law enforcement, non-military person needs an AK-goddamn-47.

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.

I've got Wüsthofs.

I would hate to ruin a good knife on a lousy burglar. I mean -- Wüsthofs!

Better to buy a cheap knife for people-stabbin' needs.

Teppy and Barb - good points! (so to speak)

Better to buy a cheap knife for people-stabbin' needs.

One of the things that really stuck in my brain on reading Helter Skelter was one of the Manson women had a knife with a broken handle - she complained at how much it hurt her hand when she stabbed someone and the blade hit bone.

So make sure your cheap, people-stabbin' knife has a good handle.

edit 'cuz "stabbin'" has two B's....

BWAH, Tommy!

Were you perhaps on a death panel?

Not yet. But a woman needs career goals.

More proof that Leif is made of awesome.
