...yes indeed. All of us


A lot of folks that get shot and killed have been pushin the limits of acceptable behavior for a long time and ..."Had it comin to em". Not all, not most but a lot. Thats an official opinion.
As far as I'm concerned.
And thats a fact.








You can't deny it.

i think if bears had guns, they might be a bit cooler. but if bears had guns and shot hunters while listening to rush "permanent waves" that would be even cooler. in fact, i think we should install loudspeakers in all forests and just play pre-signals rush 24/7.

hrmmmm

my dad once said to me;

"Jeremy, I'm not prejudice against anyone...except stupid people."

I feel this same philosophy (as discussed earlier) can be applied to firearms. If your a drunk retard, with a death wish, yeah, someone could get fucked up. If your a person who enjoys skeet or target shooting (not unlike a tight game of darts), you obviously understand the inherent dangers and responsibilities that come with holding a firearm. the gun is untouchable in terms of responsibility. the person bears the weight of what he/she is holding, it's not the gun.

This is all fun and what-not, but when are we going to draft Steve for president? The witty-yet-well-reasoned manner with which he dealt with the whole gun-control thingy convinces me that he could just as easily tackle other hot-button issues, like abortion, war, and gay folk.

Also, I suspect he would totally shred in debates.

Albini in '08, I say.

His analogue radicalism would come back to haunt him. As would his integrity and his bad haircut.

Getting back to the subject at hand, I think Steve had a good point about initially separating the country/city cultures.

I grew up in South Texas, where it was quite common to have a gun. Nothing much was thought of it. (Now you can have a concealed weapon legally, and not much is thought of it unless you're an Austinite yuppie).

During High School, the politics of gun-owning started to become a public issue (or diversion, according to your look on life). I distinctly remember kids being pulled into the parking lot and sent home because the "gun sniffing dog" barked and they found .22 shells in someone's truck. He had been hunting with his family that weekend, and just forgot to take them out.

Of course, it was all overblown, as it was a headbutting of cultures.

Nobody was ever shot at my school. Nobody was ever threatened to be shot at my school. A shitload of deer, however, were shot around my school on the weekends.

My argument for owning guns for the express reasoning of "defending yourself" is that you simply own a high-powered tazer.

They incapacitate the burglar/offender/schizophrenic, they are non-lethal (sans heart condition), and to be honest, people getting tazed are quite a hoot to watch, and make the greatest sounds.
