Wha-wha-what?

Wha-wha-what?

I'm sorry sweetie! Did I stump you? Which word did you not understand?

"This is my safety."

--------------

To have a 'discussion' about gun safety you have to kinda stop and look at the tidbits of the topic and proceed from there.

People who are afraid of guns have a good reason. It's the same with driving - I see that LiLo is back on the road - stupid people in cars is probably my biggest fear and having one drive thru the wall doesn't help either.

I had the infortunate experience of standing next to someone after a target shooting accident and worked for the OR when GSWs were brought in.

People who work in the ER hate guns.

Years ago I ran into a nurse who was coming down the stairway, very flustered.

I knew her pretty well and saw she was put out.

I stopped her and asked if she was o.k. and she told me, in very colorful language that a GSW had come in and she was upset that the guy "didn't do it right", meaning that he didn't shoot himself in a way that would have killed him.

That puzzled me for a long time until I got to see the nasty business of what a bullet does.

-----------------------------------

Some guns are art.

Some are really ugly and when they are used stupidly or for evil?

When someone goes on a rampage with a gun, it's always that knee jerk reaction that starts people a'talkin and wen everyone talks at once nothing gets done.

The people who scream the loudest and don't bother to look at all the facts of the story are the ones that really don't care about making progress.

--------------------------------------

Gun control has quite a bit to do with politics.

If is wasn't for guns to protect the people, uphold the law and to keep the crazies from doing what they want?

Ask some politicians to walk amongst 'the people' without an armed security detail and see how far that arguement gets you.

I lost a bet. I had "Grocery Store" for the next mass shooting. "House of Worship" had already been done (a couple times maybe?)

Nice. Betting on mass shootings, good karma there.

That's a liberal mentality there....make money on a tragedy.

People are so quick to make a dollar on a death, it makes me sick.

Just read that the parents of the Martin kid are looking for .75 mil from the HOA of the complex where he was shot.

For psych evals.........must be going to see Dr Phil.
