Clowns are evil.

Mavis Moore was 4 years old the first time she faced the barrel of a long gun. A neighbour pointed his .22 at the girl and her mother when they stopped by to pick up a newspaper in their small Saskatchewan town.
Sixty-eight years later, Moore remembers dropping one blue angora mitten in the snow as the man stood above them on his steps.
“You can't imagine what it's like, this adult man having a gun on you and threatening to kill you and your mother,” she says.
Moore's mother picked up her child — and the mitten — and left. She never said anything to anyone, fearing the violence would escalate. It was the first time Moore was at risk from a man pointing a gun, but not the last.
Decades later, a fellow hunter aimed his cocked rifle at her in the northern Saskatchewan bush. He told her he mistook her 5-foot-4 frame, draped in red, for a moose.
Guns are a constant in the lives of rural Canadian women — one reason many of them as are as committed to gun control and the gun registry as their urban sisters. As the third-reading vote on a Tory backbencher's private bill that would kill the registry draws near, members of a coalition of rural and urban women, shelter advocates and victims of violent crime are telling their stories. They want to counter the misinformation and political manoeuvring they contend obscure the real issue: safety.

The premise that all men with guns or their testicles for that matter are evil is so 20th Century. This rhetoric exposes the desire by extreme leftists for a totalitarian state and is exactly why the American activists are now avoiding comment on these stories. They now couch their argument in their “interpretation of the Constitution” and they treat guns as an established evil. They act as if it is the obligation of the state to attack gun ownership. It’s a crafty attempt at disarmament of the people through regulation.
This article is written in such a ridiculously biased manner as to be called “corrupt”.
With absolutely no context at all, it *begins* with the imagery of a little child, who has dropped her mitten in the snow, when suddenly a large, bearded, muscular and dirty man, perhaps a child molester or a serial killer, decides to menace her and her mother with a rifle, for no reason at all.
I’m surprised that the faceless, you know, with the hockey mask and all, masculine fiend didn’t then stomp on her little pet kitten, crushing it with his clog heeled boots, while laughing maniacally, his liquored breath and red eyes expressing his sadistic joy at inflicting such terror on the innocent.
And then the monster spoke, with a deep and hissing drawl. “I have the power of a GOD over you weak and pathetic women, because I have a .22 rifle, as an extension of my penis! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! And I vote for CONSERVATIVES!!!”
God did NOT make men and women equal.
Smith and Wesson did.
I admire that.
That was my thought when I read the headline.
I’m female, you won’t take my guns! Yes, that was plural.
Smith & Wesson makes the “Ladysmith”. Smaller grip & balanced for a woman’s smaller hand.
Shoots really nice.
A woman who hated guns was confronted by a mid-day attempt at car-jacking her. She jammed the accelerator & got away.
She got gun courses & had the gun within 2 weeks. Carried it with her wherever she went.
>>When I was 8 years old, I was frightened by a circus clown. I therefore demand that all circus clowns be banned.
Wait a minute. Just to be on the safe side, ban all circuses.<<
OK, just so long as you don’t want to ban rodeo clowns too.
I saw it at the NRA Convention. I want one.
I think you all are missing the point. Clowns have been an integral part of Americana, and I, for one, won’t stand up to this blatant attack on Clown-Americans.
I say you get to the root of the problem and ban children.
Forgive me for not adding /s to my comment.
Clowns are evil.
Hmmm... what replies do you get?

What do you think Obama and Planned Parenthood are all about?

You're much more kind and... restrained than I; I would have posted this terrifying picture: 
Plus when Japs feel like they’re failures, they kill themselves and they don’t take others with them.
Rodeo clowns excepted.
I don’t consider fourteen a few. I had only a vague memory of the details. Thanks for filling me in. I didn’t intend to sound callous.
