That reminds me of the time I went to the gun show in Dayton with my husband. A man comes up to us looks at me, and says here's a nice little gun for a little lady...it was a 22.

My husband had to escort me quickly away from him before I bitch slapped him.

That's where things are bit different here in the South. We'd have just stepped out of the way, made sure we had your back, then watched as you ripped him a new asshole.

Wouldn't that be a good time to pull out your .22 and prove it is effective?

C'mon now, I know you don't really think most people in that situation would even consider that an option.

Besides, a good bitch-slapping is far more embarrassing making it much more likely that the life lesson will be remembered.

Toby, the point is this: Not everyone in the US is as capable of good judgement as you or Nymph might be able to exercise. Her so called "small minded man" might also be small minded enough to settle things with flying bullets instead of flying fists, example.

If the gun is present, there is potential for it's use. If there are no guns present, there is no chance they will get used (obviously!).

Drunk drivers kill far more people than handguns, but I don't see anyone seriously trying to ban the sale of cars or alcohol. Your arguments simply don't hold up.

Since I know you'll ask, here are some hard numbers. 2005 was the most recent year that I could find National numbers for both without wasting a ton of time.

Alcohol related auto fatalities - 16,885 (source - CDC)
Handgun related homicides - 8,478 (source - DOJ)

Sorry Toby, but when you can explain to me how many people got to work driving their guns or how many people picked up a girl in a bar because they drank their guns or whatnot, this argument is ALWAYS a non-starter.

It gets back to my point: Guns have two purposes, kill or threaten to kill. 100% of the use of guns is to inflict pain and suffering. 99.99% of all miles driving in a car (and 99% of all people who have a drink) aren't killers or threatening to kill anyone.

it is the same worn out logic as to knives, axes, pens, rope, and about a million other things that can use used to kill someone. The point isn't that they can kill, because all you need to kill are your fists (let's cut everyone's hands off!). The point is that all of those items have good and valid uses that don't involve killing other people.

NRA member?

I don't have a 22, my gun is a 357, and I don't pack it with me. You are generalizing about me just like that small minded little man did.

So lets see . . . you like porn & firearms. If like watching the NFL you will be on my "too good to be true" list. Oh yeah, and you will make my penis hard.


PS. I only suggested a .22 for "Babycakes" because that's what she seemed to be in the market for.

Too girly for me... Not my style...but thanks! I think that I just need to take a trip to the gun shop and look at them.
