All reasonable and balanced commentary though, such as this:

"He should suck start a 12 guage"

The main rebuttal has this paragraph which has me scratching my head a little:

"While owning firearms is indeed “fun,” it is not the reason most folks choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights. The reason people own guns is because they save lives. That’s right. Guns save lives. Anyone who reads Guns.com on a regular basis knows this. We publish defensive gun use stories daily. These stories involve regular people using firearms to protect themselves, their family and their property from criminals."

And I think this guy is doing it wrong:

But this is kinda warm and fuzzy:

Excellent.
weren't you the guy who called people who had their children circumcised child abusers?
I can dig that, but let's be serious, uncircumcised penises are really ugly. It's almost worth the mutilation to have such an attractive penis.
I just gotta jump in here to say that my uncircumcised cock is a work of art and thing of beauty. Stip agrees!

"Kill your local rapist, but torture them first" :thumbsup:
Eddie says a lot of stuff.
That said guns, are one button killing machines, it takes way less effort, thought, strength and commitment to shoot someone than stab/hatchet someone to death.

Pearl jam? More like Pearl Harbor.

Has this dead horse been beaten enough or should I go get my crowbar?
