I made a point of boycotting it when I was there, getting a shiver as I passed by...

I am quite interested about just HOW her 'point was made' in her boycotting method(s).

Serial killers manage to kill around 3,300 every day.

CHOICE is such a lovely word; isn't it!

Guess I’m just lucky - keep finding OPAs (other peoples’ accidents). Quite the collections under water.

"How many from drunk drivers?"

I don't know.

Sounds like a meddlesome Brit who cares not about the Muslim invasion of her country...mention of “pram” kind of sent my mind there)...

"When I was in a liquor store not far from Thousand Oaks, California, a few months back, a guy came up to the counter with his shirt half over his head and what I perceived as a gun protruding underneath it."

Maybe he was just glad to see you (as Mae West once said)!

Now hurry hurry back to Ireland to finish emasculating your "men."

Can you bring a child into a liquor store?
Can you bring a gun into a liquor store? You can’t bring them into a bar.

The very reason many of us own guns when we otherwise would not is idiot voters like this who vote criminal coddling gun grabbing politicians into office.

“But others can’t see that guns have anything to do with it, even though more people have died from guns in the US than on the battlefields of all wars.”

What kind of absolute nonsense is this statement? There’s absolutely no way in hell that’s factual.

[Georgia Girl 2]

You are right. If you have never been to Ireland it’s a tiny little country with about 3 million people and until recently no diversity which means almost no crime. Now thanks to the EU the muslims are pouring in. My SIL just got back from visiting her family in Dublin and she was just shaking her head. Soon these naive people will understand about wanting a gun.

” the thought never crosses my mind”

Then you’ve never driven on I-696 in Detroit.
