I'm sure this is true 3', but this only strengthens my point. A burgler could empty every house in my street and not find a single gun.

Love, M

Actually Emidar... most of the stolen guns aren't coming from burglared households either....

Nice poisoned little atmosphere you've got going here, "Paradox." Do you p*ss in your own well, and sh*t in your own bed, too?

This place just gets worse -- I'm well quit of it.

I started this post because its something i am interested about. Living in England, where guns are not readily available to everyone, i find the contrast between English and American law fascinating.
It wasn't my intention to "poison" any atmosphere at all. I find your outspoken comments annoyings and pointless. Leave my bladder and bowel problems out of this.
As others have said before me, if you dont want to get upset by the opinions of other people, and dont feel you can rationally debate a subject which many people have a view on, then dont open topics of that nature.

Paradox: Consider me duly chastised. Sorry to have misread/annoyed/offended you. (See my later posts, above.)Ouch

Welcome, & carry on with the debate! Smile

 

Easy Livin': SmileThanks for the understanding & kind words! As you suggested, I guess I will "jump in" and post from time to time, as moved to do so (& as time allows), but I'll avoid such controversial, non-music-related topics, because I'm really not into debating them with strangers on a music (or any) forum (others are, I understand), and I always seem to offend someone when I take offense....Stern Smile

See you on the Reviews page, & GREAT reviews, BTW, Easy!Big smile Clap

Ermm So many! You must have lots of spare time, comrade? Wink

Whoops! I gushed girlishly over your reviews before, didn't I? I tend to get yourself and the well-seasoned Wink Dick Heath (Heath/McBeath -- Good grief!) mixed up!Embarrassed

Geek Yes, do that, and buy a dictionary to look up the spelling of words like "misspent," too!Stern SmileLOL

Now: Let the great Internet Progressive Rock Firearms Ownership Debate rage on! On one side, the well-armed, Redcoat and deer-fearing Americans, on the other, the out-gunned (but feisty) smashed-bottle Brits (there's no guns in this gentlemen's bout....) and clog-wearing, "man-purse"-sporting Europeans.Wink

Oy! Such slaughter! What a senseless waste of human life....

OK, back to reality, Rideout!Ouch

Somehow I missed this question. Mind games sir Reed Lover..mind games

It's supposed to be a half planet...ya think I should change it? I've kind of warmed up to it now.

By the way...did you resolve those issues?

I've still no wish to enter this debate.Wink

You might find this article interesting though GDUB.

Pretty interesting article. While I lived in the Sierra foothills, my wife, my father in law and one daughter each nailed a deer. They caused quite a bit of damage.

I hit one bear, nicked the hind quarters, no damage to my vehicle or the bear.

I've had numerous close calls, but never actually connected. I was hit by a deer once. It ran into my driver side door. The expression on it's face was very comical. Again, no damage.

Now, a venison stew, ah, I'm salivating... I lived in Upper Michigan for a few years and venison was a staple. Cooked properly, it's very good. Oh yeah, Ted Nugent had a camp in a town called "Rock" smack dab in the middle of the peninsula.
