Today in the "Let it Out" section of the "Indpls Star" a fellow recounts how he ordered flowers over the phone for his wife who just got a promotion at work. He asked that the card read "I believe in you." His wife was taken aback when she opened the card which read "I be leaving you." B

Doc, According to an old story, a person whose English was not the best was trying to explain why his wife could not have children. He said, "She is impregnable. No, no I mean she is inconceivable. No, no that's not it either. I know, she is unbearable." Dan

Dan, That would be completely, totally and in all other ways inconceivable. ("You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.")

Doc, Is it conceivable (pun intended) that your comment #91 here was posted on the wrong thread, and should perhaps have been posted following your comment #78 here? Just curious. Dan

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." I don't see that as refering to our own government, but rather to other states (i.e. countries - i.e. England, France, Spain) Why the presumption that the militia should be maintained against our own government? What we have here are a load of paranoiacs who have read a few too many Stephen King or Robert Ludlum books. You all seem to buy into the notion that the government is out to get you, or all of us. You are just conspiracy theorists. On the one hand you complain at how inept the government is, yet on the other you ascribe to it nefarious, evil plans to send us all to the gulag or some such. So which is it? - the government of Spielberg's "Minority Report," or just a government of "Dumb and Dumber?" Just curious, which one of you gunslingers is going to lead the charge against the evil government? Who is going to stand tall urging true lovers of freedom to gather round at your feet (until of course, someone else decides they want to lead that charge, at which point they raise their Ithaca 12 gauge pump action shotgun and blow your face off. I think you all have yeehaw, cowboy delusions of grandeur. Do all of your really see yourselves as part of an "organized militia?" Give me a break! Most of you, at the crucial moment would wind up blowing your nuts off in the adrenaline rush of fear and excitement. B

"Look at it this way: if those wimpy student protestors at Kent State in 1970 had properly armed themselves beforehand they would have been able to defend themselves when the NG opened fire to enforce The Rule Of Law." mhmm... yeah, ok. it would have been a total bloodbath. "Sure, maybe some of them would have died, but at least they'd have been able to improve their Kill Ratio." does "Kill Ratio" have to be capitalized? i'm sure a lot more people would have died, and that's not what anyone was there to do. i don't like the government wandering around killing innocent civilians either, and four is too many, to be sure, but... those soldiers were stupid kids with guns in their hands. what do you think is going to happen? guns make stupid people even more likely to do something really stupid.

"I can't handle so much change..." that's a hell of a pun.

I think you should start Packing Heat Jet. get with the program. Look at it this way: if those wimpy student protestors at Kent State in 1970 had properly armed themselves beforehand they would have been able to defend themselves when the NG opened fire to enforce The Rule Of Law. Sure, maybe some of them would have died, but at least they'd have been able to improve their Kill Ratio.

Dread, you took the cheap shot. I could have pointed out that your comments wouldn't get blocked as spam if you didn't make so many postings about male enhancement, but I didn't. I took the high road.

I can't handle so much change... That presumably would be why you're a conservative, Herr Baron.

Condor, I'm reminded of an Episode of Black Adder IV, in which he is distracted by Baldrick scraping something on metal with his knife. Black Adder: Baldrick make the explanation you're about to give phonominally good. Baldrick: Well you know my Lord, they say for every man, there's a bullet with his name on it... so I figured if I scratched my name on one of these and always kept it in my picket, I'd never get shot with it!

"Just look at the nut in tennessee that left a note saying he shot up that church because he hated liberals and gays." Given all to proliferation talk, I'm surprized no one in the church was packing. Or, given the laws surrounding trying to protect oneself, maybe someone was but was afraid to pull it in defense. Remember, every bullet has a lawyer tied to it. Did I read a entry which stated that someone "would ask whether the robber was taking the HDTV or there to harm the dwellings occupants"???? It might have been another subject.... if it was here... I have to wonder if instead of asking the perp, wouldn't a questionaire be a better tool. In the course of a robbery, or assault or whatever, there is not time to ask. And furthermore, as a reference to 911 and the police... to avoid litagation police are under no obligation to respond to 911... ambulance chasers would have a field day on late arrivals, no arrivals, lost patrol cars etc... or differing outcomes the expected/anticipated, which is the cops show up and fix everything nice and tidy like. Happiness IS a warm gun, that means one close to my body, loaded and ready to assist me in keeping my life safe.

I brought this up before but it bears repeating-I've dated a couple of cop (not at the same time) who were both brought in for questioning by their superiors in response to having fired their weapon on duty. One had to fire at a car that was coming directly at him at high speed. His recollection to his sergeant just ten minutes after was that he fired only three shots, but his dash cam showed him unloading the entire clip... and he's professionally trained and carries a weapon continuously every day. Can you imagine the reaction of the average gun nut in the same situation? ...yeah I know, the same, except he'd have more spare ammo on hand, so he'd fire two clips. groan
