Thoughts on Guns
1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
2. A gun in the hand is better than a policeman on the phone.
3. Colt: The original point and click interface.
4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?
6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.
7. "Free" men do not ask permission to bear arms.
8. If you don't know your rights you don't have any.
9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
10. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved.
11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.
13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.
15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.
16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
17. 911 = government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.
18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.
19. Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer.
20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.
21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control
them.
22. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
23. Repeal the "gun control laws" we ALREADY have, don't make more.
24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
26. "A government of the people, by the people, for the people..."
27. "..... the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not
be infringed."

Anti-Gun Bias in TV Movies
I was watching this (admitedly) bad movie on satellite the other day. It was one of those "the sun is going to blow up and destroy the world in seven days" kind of disaster movies. Crazed mobs were rioting in the streets and there was mass chaos. It was about this time that a serial killer escaped custody and went searching for the witness who had put him away for life. To make a LONG and (boring) terrible storyline short: He finds her and her family. He's about to kill her husband (played by Jason Priestly) so she takes her gun and shoots him several times. Bad guy dies and falls into the pond out behind the house. It is at this point that she realizes that she's just saved her family by killing the bad guy with her gun, and what does she do next? That's right ladies and gentlemen, she recoils from her gun like it's a live scorpian and hurls it into the pond. At this point, I'm thinking "WTF? This gun, with her guidance (it's a tool) just saved her family's lives, and she throws it into the pond?" With a growl of disgust I turned off the TV.
*sigh*
I guess it was too much to ask for even the bad "Mini-Series" type TV movies to not have some hokey "Anti-Gun" rhetoric thrown in.
@#*&%$!

Heard From a Friend
I know a guy who's divorced and luckily has custody of his kids. He's a shooter and a reloader and owns several guns, properly put up of course. Anyway, he related to me the other day a conversation he'd had with his ex-wife when she'd come over to visit the kids.
He'd always put up his reloading suplies when she'd come over before, but this time he was tired of putting them away and then bringing them back out when she left (he reloads on his kitchen counter currently). So this time he just left it all out in plain site.
It took her a while, but she finally saw a box of bullets sitting on the kitchen table. "These aren't real?" she asked.
"Yes!" he said.
"What do you use them for?" she asked.
To which he replied, "Target shooting."
"There's a gun in the house?" she asked, as if it were a marauding beast or a slithering cobra.
"Yeah, somewhere, put up." was his answer.
He told me at that point she went silent and didn't say anything else about it. You can probably tell from this brief exchange why the two of them aren't married anymore. And good riddance I say. It's good too that he has custody of the children and can teach his kids proper gun safety and use without being saddled with their mother's liberal bias. Sometimes good things do happen in this world!
