Guns And The Laws That Govern Them

Cigarettes give off the vibe "smoke me"

A fork and spoon give off the vibe "use me to eat something"

A gun gives off the vibe "use me to shoot something"

If this were not true advertisements would not work...

R u on LSD??
It is not true.
I see cigarettes n have no urge to burn them.
I ofen see forks n spoons, with no desire to use them,
unless I 'm hungry; no vibes.
My guns do not say anything,
but I have taken them for use, to gunnery ranges.

Well tell the multi-billion dollar advertisement agencies their ads don't work at all David...



Thirsty?

Ads don't make people thirsty... (cynical)

Scientific tests have shown that you cannot look at an ad like this without salivating.

That 's YOUR notion, about the vibes.
I 'm not adopting it.

U can tell them whatever u wish.



No.



Yes; thay don't



Sorry, but I don 't believe u, Rex.
WHICH tests ??
I have not salivated in the least.

Tests done long ago by Pavlov on his dogs...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning

Learned responses taught by video games and violent movies involving guns... The gun manufacturers play on the fact that our genes code for warlike behavior. Sold to children in toy stores.





Those didn't make you salivate? hehe

In my childhood, I got one of those
and I shot 10 penny steel nails out of the front end,
before I got my first functional firearm; greater range, with tacks, but no salivation.

If the kid gets attacked by large dogs or felons in the streets,
he shud not bet his life on THESE guns.

He needs something that actually WORKS !

Iraq Vet, Green Beret Shot And Killed By Four-Year-Old Son

A northwest community in Oak Forest, Texas is the first neighborhood in the country being trained and equipped by the Armed Citizen Project, a Houston nonprofit that is giving away free shotguns to single women and residents of neighborhoods with high crime rates. Only in Texas! Exactly how do they know they aren't giving guns to criminals in those communities? This should prove to be an interesting test case for gun control.

Free guns program launches in Houston neighborhood

This is disgusting!

You know we all get old, even the baby boomers.

A fair number of these baby boomers are responsible gun advocates.

As when the baby boomers were young their generation went through phases of free love and rampant drug use. So they were not the model epitome of their parents own standards so to speak.

As we age at some point we become senile and many of our possessions are filtered down to either siblings or sold in yard or rummage sales.

A number of years ago when I was a Christian missionary the organization of which I belonged had a few peculiar rituals.

On of these rituals was that they would instruct followers of the religion to start a bonfire and burn things that no longer served a "healthy" purpose in ones life.

People would burn things like porno mags, music and books considered "extraneous" to the faith.

As a young disciple I asked why it would not be better to just have a yard sale and sell these items and take the money and feed the poor? The answer came swift... "Don't move Satan down the road..."

As for guns, they are not easily disposed of, there is a danger trying to burn them and it would take quite a fire to destroy a gun.

So guns will move on down the road as their gun owners pass away... They will end up in the hands of the siblings of gun owners. Siblings that may not be as mature as the older generation is/was. Consider the legacy of your family and the impact that your guns may have on them in the long run.

These guns may not cause you any harm but to them they may a pitfall be.

Are you moving Satan down the road?

7 Dead, 30 Wounded in Weekend Violence

I prefer rifled weapons over shotguns,
but I 'm tempted to contribute to this charity.
Maybe I can convince them to give away nice handguns
(preferably revolvers) too.

Thanx for the cite, Rex.





David

I bet that the victims wished
that thay were better armed in their own defense.

Do you really think a 16 year old should be walking around at night in the windy city with a gun? Do your 16 year old grandsons and granddaughters pack while on their way to the comic book store and to ballet lessons? You have a morbid and morose sense of happiness David. More guns is not the answer, the answer is getting guns out of the hands of criminals... The whole point is the NRA sells gun without background checks. If you're a criminal and need a gun, fine, the NRA will sell you one, no problem... Yet that is exactly the problem. This is by no means "well regulated"... Do you carry a gun everywhere you go, to the synagogue and to the local deli? These are criminals that have been sold guns by the NRA... Your ignorant policies and gun lust are responsible for this not the innocent pedestrians. Like blaming a woman for being raped because she wears high heels... What we need are more rapists, huh? Some people are so brainwashed by corporate gun manufacturers it is gonna take the whole of population to protest their idiocy and make laws in spite of their brainless gun lust and second amendment crap.

There is a reason why the first amendment comes first and the second amendment comes second.. Because the first amendment trumps the second amendment. The second amendment should not trump the first amendment or it would have been placed first. You think you are pushing my buttons but all you are ultimately doing is displaying your rank idiocy out in public for all the world (including your offspring) to see. See how pathetic some people really are...

This what happened the last time the gun manufactures armed the population...



The south became a well regulated militia fighting for pro racism and pro slavery (Sounds like the teapublicans today)... and the gun manufacturers cried all the way to the bank...

The NRA doesn't sell guns, they are an advocacy group.
Just like the AAA doesn't sell cars, they are an advocacy group.

In know technically you are right but technically you are not right.

The NRA receives their greatest contributions directly from gun manufacturers. Where AAA does not receive funding from car manufacturers...

You wanna bet the NRA sells guns, though indirectly, their entire existence, like a leach, is dependent on gun sales and contributions from manufacturers thereof.

If automobiles were to suddenly fall out of favor with consumers, the car manufacturers would not pay AAA to remedy the problem by lobbying elected officials.
