U.S. considers easing ban on guns in national parks


I'd rather have smokers than gunslingers, but maybe it's just me?

13. You could also mention breastfeeding in public and screaming children in
restaurants, just to make sure everyone is covered!

2. So you'd rather die slowly?
It does seem kind of ridiculous doesn't it? I guess you might need your gun in a National Park these days...
too many sociopaths running amuck in this country. Sheesh.

I'm not even sure if I'm kidding anymore. :evilfrown:

3. Violent video games are more dangerous than guns.
This is the prevailing viewpoint in congress right now.

4. I've gone into bronchospasm from smokers
and, while I've had guns pointed at me, I've never been shot. I've even managed to escape with my property and virtue intact.

I'm a very polite person, so my risk from gunnies is far lower to that from smokers in enclosed areas.

Set fire to that thing outside and we'll get along just fine.
