Gun control discussion

Ban jeeps. I want everyone to be safe, they have an inordinately high accident rate due to high center of gravity and poor handling characteristics.

Ban minivans. They have a high passenger capacity, and an inordinately high number of people are killed in each minivan accident as compared to an average sedan. More people inside, more possibility of death.


Ban 5 gallon buckets. Kids drown in them, and more true children (not 21 year old gangbangers, sorry, CDC, those aren't "kids) are killed by drowning in buckets than are killed by firearms.

Ban 15 passenger vans. Combine the comments about jeeps and minivans and you've got a rolling nightmare on the highway.

Limit horsepower and torque specs for motor vehicles. People are killed constantly by excessive speed, no need for anyone to be able to exceed the speed limit.

Hell, let's just wrap everyone in bubblewrap, feed 'em a nutritionally correct IV solution and keep them nice and safe inside from cradle to grave. Make everyone a shellperson, life's just too damned hazardous.

Ban roll on?

One day I was ogling one of the new Boeing airplanes - It was supposed to be the largest passenger cargo jet in the world - and one of my pals looked at me and said, "Great, another way to kill more people in one accident......"

It is said that the mind is a terrible thing to waste. No one can say that about you - yours is in high gear 24/7!

Now, in an extended effort to keep the children safer while on the soccer pitch, players are no longer allowed to shoot the ball on goal.

Taking shots on goal are now discouraged because of the danger that a child may be hurt from a direct hit or a riccochet.

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

President Obama has also looked into banning 'shooting guards' and shooting the ball in youth, college and professional basketball games.

Las Vegas is looking into banning crap games - Shooting dice can be deemed as an unsafe activity.

Shooting the Breeze at the watercooler can be cause for suspension or termination at some businesses.

"Shoot" as an alternative curse word will no longer be tolerated.

The NHL hockey season was also in danger of being totally cancelled because the players sticks were not registered.

Microsoft has been asked to remove bullet points from their PowerPoint software and all U.S. companies will begin to remove bulletin board from their premises to reduce the possibility of workplace violence........
