"Guns don't kill people"....
....people, using guns, kill people.

As a balance to the old statement: "Guns don't kill people; people kill people."

4. The way some of the headlines read, you would conclude
that guns are sentient beings with a malicious intent to harm humans.

"Criminal's Gun Shoots Police Officer"
"Gun Discharges, Killing Little Children"

And on and on and on....

3. Naked Lunch
"did I ever tell you about the time I performed an appendectomy with a rusty sardine can?
And once I was left wihout instrument One
And removed a uterine tumor with my teeth.
(That was in the Upper Fendy and besides
the wench is dead)."
--William S. Burroughs

6. Welcome to the DU Gun Dungeon
I'll waive the standard $2 fine for Ellipse Abuse because you are a newbie. Although they were applied in a reasonable manner you used four dots instead of three in your two ellipses. Please refrain from using four dots unless one is a legitimate period.

:D

7. CRIMINALS kill people.
The gun is the tool. I use my tool for self defense. I just wish that my entire party would unite around the gun owner. We'd never lose a national election again.

10. To Whom It May Concern:
Guns kill people only when they are used as clubs. We all know that bullets do the killing - when fired from the guns owned by lunatic asswipes.

Sincerely,

A Lunatic Asswipe
