GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Midwest Spy]

?????? Since I am a Packer fan this puzzles me.

Now he'll REALLY be pissed.

Ya know the old saying. Its better to be pissed off than pissed on. Well, that is unless you are into that. Hahahahaha.

Yep. I was in a very shitty mood when I made my comment about pro-gun freaks.

I will say that I think F.U. has been very gracious from his end (pro-gun supporter) during this most recent debate.

I may not agree with everything he writes or excerpts he posts, but he's done it a way that promotes dialogue, and I appreciate that.

My brother and dad are basically in the same corner as F.U., Jim and Maggot (as well as many others I'm sure).

I think what separates the two camps the most is just the general 'fascination' with guns. Again, I personally have been around them most of my life (started hunting with my dad when I was 4) but you know, it just never 'took off' with me.

I realized that the nature of the gun was to kill. Pure and simple. It's designed to kill. Period. I'm not a PETA freak. No sir. My step-dad has hunted his whole life, taught me to shoot, and has probably 20 guns in his home. He's also super responsible with his firearms. There's really no one I'd trust more with a gun in his hand.

But, for the people who've not been raised around guns, can you kind of understand why they think they are nothing but the easiest form of weaponry to kill someone? That if they 'weren't around' thousands of needless deaths worldwide would eliminated? Oh, I know, I know. People will find some other way to kill each other (BTW, that's the lamest line of all time).

There really is no middle ground on this issue. Either you love 'em or hate 'em (for the most part).
