    You other ten better get your act together and buy a firearm or twenty.
    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, in practice, there is.

    Take heed obummer. Take heed akmadinijihad.

    As the story goes, this is why the japs decided against a land invasion. And we're probably 10X more armed now than we were then.

    Missed the first 30 seconds or so after the Colts received the kickoff. Nice that they still spot their opponents 7 points before starting to play.

    LOL good picture. I find this disturbing given how many guns I have. This means lots of americans must have none. I think there is lots of room for improvment.

    By lefty reasoning, lots of people are going unarmed because of my greed!
    If I had a dollar for every time CAPITALISM was blamed for problems caused by the GOVERNMENT, I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.

    12 string guitars only have 6 extra strings, but they're 85 TIMES as likely to be used in a song about wizards.

    I'm trying! But seriously, for each of us to get MORE guns doesn't help the scenario. We have to have EVERYONE (law abiding and sane of course) to be fellow gun owners. That way guns are not mysterious scary weapons to them, they understand firearms and the law, they understand that a society were the Military and Police are the only ones armed is not a free society at all, and Crime WILL go down further, being that there will be less UNARMED sheep to the wolves. So don't just buy more guns. Convert MORE PEOPLE into gun owners!

    i could "help" a few 40 people become gun owners but i think i'll hang on to my personal little stash.

    but if they wanna come by for some free trigger time that's all good, as long as their next stop if the local fun store. AND they need to bring ammo on their second visit.
