*** PING ***
Har-har!
That headline had me worried there for a second or two.
Pretty good.
Gotcha, RF!
lol Dang. I thought this was serious.
I knew it before I opened it. Thanks for the smile!
Damn, we didn’t want our location published! Oh wait.... lol I have a totally different take on the publication of gun owners names. I know the left thinks it is some kind of shaming but to me, a criminal is going to bypass that house and go next door where there is no gun. I think anyone robbed in NY shoudl sue the newspaper for aiding the robbers.
“lol Dang. I thought this was serious.”
It is serious. And quite accurate.
Texas will be standing room only before long. We’ll have to take over Mexico and spread southward.
I wonder how Texas gun crime stats compare to states with strong gun regulations (ie. Illinois).
lol. I love that. I was thinking if they did a map, it would be inundated with dots but I did not realize just how many....lol.
LOL Well, yeah, but I meant like the other one (not that those with the dots are all that specific) I guess I wouldn’t *mind* being on a list like that, but still.
Thank you for replying, buffaloguy- I didn’t want to double post & now, I can post this >. I *really* like the poster (it ought to be a poster/ flyer) of criminals with guns.
