Thanks!

lol - I bet it meant “can’t quite shave with it”, for many of you.

[2nd amendment mama]

Anytime....my pleasure. Thank you, again, for reformatting it for us.

dihydrogen monoxide kills more people that any weapon

DHMO kills, yet every pediatrician freely prescribes it, even for infants. They don't even demand that the DHMO supplies in your house be locked up.

Ping to the item in #81. Useful in preparing for a pediatrician interchange.

Your kid is 7 and doesn’t shoot?

I find that to be strange.

Why do you keep the tools to defend himself hidden?

Have you at least taught him to use his fists?

[Pharmboy]

Excellent! Thanks for the link...

[Pharmboy]

Glad to hear that the perp’s aim with the blade was high and to the side. Quite a story...

[Beagle8U]

LOL..You got it! ( The shop teacher didn’t care either )

Their definition of “safe” is likely far differnt from mine.

“Hoplophobia” defined:

An irrational fear of weapons (literal; normally applies to firearms) and by extension those who advocate their possession and responsible use.

"Keep all your guns except one in a good fire proof safe...."

Need at least two: shotgun and handgun.

Unless you live outside of town: then a nice little plinker for bunnies and such.

Unless you have a large house: might be tough to get from back porch to front bedroom in time to drag out the glock.

Unless you live in a really bad part of town: trade the guns in for kevlar and bandages - or for rent somewhere else.

Select any 'not-in-the-safe' firearms for personal fit and function rather than for pretty or valuable.

Always make them legal, don't try to bypass any registration etc. Police around here would love to find a questionable handgun on a citizen's coffee table.

Note to all - unless things have changed, most gun safes are for security and not for fire, select well.

This is a totally bogus survey.

Those surveyed were ‘self-selected’. Most responsible gun owners would have answered ‘no guns’, or refused to take the survey, tilting the results.

This is no better than an internet survey.

Fear and hate mongers at work!

Wake Up America!!

translation “we tried the ‘citizen have rights’ and ‘citizens can be responsible’ approach so now we want to do the ‘citizens can’t be trusted with rights’ approach”

I wouldn’t tell anyone about my guns if they asked.

“Firearm ownership was highest in families with two adults in the home, according to the study. “

I see they couldn’t avoid finding an association between these two beneficial factors in society.

"We want to prevent unnecessary deaths."
Me too. That is why they are loaded and scattered liberally around the house.

Keep all your guns except one in every room of the house in a good fire proof safe

There, I fixed it for you.
