I remember a punchline. "My big sister's a hoe but she doesn't look like that."
Or something.

If you have ever been to Taft; it's a wonder people aren't turning shotguns on themselves.

And that is???


You seem to think that all ARs are made for killing people. That's odd, because if everyone that owns them were to used them for that intended purpose, we'd have over 2 million gun related murders between 2000 and 2010...that's the number that were made and sold during those years as per the ATF.

Not a single person I know that owns one, has EVER killed anyone with them. They are primarily used at gun ranges, shooting pieces of paper, and in competitions. Some build them for home defense. Many are used on farms to kill varmints. Some are even used to hunt.

With that thinking, then all sports cars should be banned. Not all cars, just those that are capable of speeds higher than allowed on the Federal Highway systems. They are built for one reason, and one reason alone...dangerous and insane high speeds. How many accidents are caused by high speed driving in this nation??

Oh, I get it...because they look like the weapons used during Vietnam. They are black and scary looking...Put it in a regular stock, it's the same weapon. Using that logic, all cars should be no larger than a station wagon, and should never have sporty looking wheels, spoilers, etc. because if it looks like a sports car, it must be a sports car...right?

I know...the fear of someone using it to kill another should outweigh the rights our forefathers hard work, right? How about we gag everyone that goes into a movie theater because we fear they may yell "FIRE!!!".

Better yet, ban all religions from entering the country, and ban religion as a whole, unless it fits with the current wishes of those in power. Hell, for that matter, ban free thinking. How many deaths have been caused by religion and free thinking in the history of mankind?

Sorry, but I'll take freedom over a warm fuzzy feeling all day, any day.

Very funny.

Let me ask a question.

1) How many people can a crazy guy kill with multiple knifes within 3 minutes and from 50'?
2) How many people can a crazy guy kill with multiple hoes within 3 minutes and from 50'?
3) How many people can a crazy guy kill with multiple guns or semi automatic within 3 minutes and from 50'?

The weapon is not doing the killing. It is the person using the weapon is doing the killing. Less lethal weapon, less killing. Got that.

I got it...the weapon is a tool, the crazy guy needs locked up! Call your Congressman.
