Hahahaha point taken Luis!!

I have done some thinking why I object so much, and I came up with somewhat of an answer. I just don't trust my neighbor to do something stupid once he blows his fuse. (I just moved house and on the 2nd night my neighbor called the cops because my cat was sitting in his window-sill. This was about 01.30 am!) Also at work I see kids go bananas over absolutly nothing. They throw a fit over nothing and beat the crap out of another pupil. (We just expelled 8 students who beat up another kid and filmed it. Before you knew it the film was on the internet... with their faces too!)

This is related to stricter rules about locking up your guns. But I just don't trust my neighbor to lock up his. So I find it's better to rule them out of the equation all together. But I am aware that I will dupe responsible gun-owners in the process... so be it. Better a disappointed responsible person than a looney with a loaded gun.

Like he said, guns dont kill people...people and doctors kill people.hell,if you wanna ban something good...ban alcohol. Beer is http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/ardi/Report.aspx?T=AAM&P=9d3057a6-5cda-416d-ba10-41e7b8ebd521&R=c22869f8-a1d3-48a8-8095-9142c6de5baf&M=1d04dc84-f775-4032-9ab3-75bc10221b2b

all of that...and notice that it does save some lives...So if you want to stop the killer, bring up Prohibition in Congress...and see how fast you get thrown out for being "Un-American"...cause we gotta have our liquor

I think you should back very slowly away from the keyboard, young guy. Very. Very. Slowly.

Ban alcohol. Pfft, must be "out 'yo mind."

While locking your firearms away in a safe that takes twelve people and an act of parliament to open would tend to prevent kids from tangling with your firearms, it also negates any home protection value of the firearms. While I enjoy collecting, tinkering with, and shooting my firearms, I also have them for the remote possibility that someone with no regard to the law (carrying a firearms they acquired in a manner that was in no way legal) will break into my home. Granted the police are minutes away, but those are minutes you don't have when someone is wandering around your dining room looking for the silver.

Yeah. They work even with one of those silly trigger locks on them! Don't forget your katana. Swords are better than guns, too, M I RITE?!

Well first off, congratulations on the promotion but you need to update your sig.

Second, are you crazy? Banning alcohol would destroy professional sports as we know it. What do people do at baseball games? They drink, heavily, which is why baseball is so popular and NASCAR? Oh man you don't even want to know those figures man. For something that our friends from overseas can understand, soccer. Those guys are always so drunk they don't even know where they are, which explains how they got there. (It's true, I saw it in a movie once.)

Police Sniper - "Sir, can I take the shot?"

Commanding Officer - "Take it, he wants to outlaw liquor!"

Saying comments like outlawing alcohol is stupid and deadly. Please, if you value your life. Don't make any comments like that again or some very angry people will hunt you down.
