I hate to criticize these parents who are going through hell but why, especially when you have a suicidal person in the house, do you have a gun? Granted, there are any number of ways to kill yourself but don't you think you ought to remove as many options as possible?

"...Alexis tried to commit suicide in January. She was hospitalized for several days and placed on anti-depression medication that was designed to also help curb bulimia.

"We knew we were facing severe depression and an eating disorder," her father said. "Actually, we thought we had it under control."

Later, her parents would find out that Alexis, for unexplained reasons, did not always take her anti-depression medicine.

At home in the early hours of a Sunday four weeks ago, Alexis shot herself to death -- a dramatic fact that school counselors revealed to her classmates at Cy-Fair High later in the week..."

Hey gun guys,

You are definitely poluting the gene pool. Smelling it up something bad as well. From the stench of it, I'd say you're probably liberal democrats and all drive Volvos, and that you all take the bus a lot ause your Volvos are always in the garage being fixed. Am I right?

Oh, and I bet Hillary Clinton gives you a hardon, too.

Keep up the good work.

I listened to a couple of NRA members discussing why concealed carry was important to them. Apparently, if their weapon had to be out in the open,
they couldn't take it everywhere with them. The law forbids guns in certain places, and proprietors of businesses and owners of property can legally
deny guns from their premises. It seems these NRA fellas like the concealed carry law because it allows them to violate other laws at will.

So they may have been right that if we outlaw guns only outlaws will have them - these NRA members have already demonstrated their disregard for
existing laws...

Also, why don't persons who violate current gun laws while under the influence of alcohol face harsher penalty along the lines of drunk drivers when cited for traffic violations? Gun fetishists are always comparing how dangerous cars are, and we rightly attach stiffer penalties to operating these potentially fatal items while intoxicated - why not the same with guns? Just wondering.

My favorite bumper sticker;

"When guns are outlawed, Only outlaws will shoot their kids by accident " I saw it in Seattle about 8 years ago, but haven't been able to find it since.

Now that St. Aschroft and the rest of the American Taliban have decide to apply the same selective eyesight to the Second Amendment that they use on the New Testament, I only have one question: When can I get my H-Bomb? After all, the Constitution says the "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Now if the Founding Fathers had meant this right to apply only to handguns and rifles, they would've had said so. If Charleton Heston and the rest of those NRA wimps are really serious about defending the Second Amendment, they won't rest until every American has the right to own the weapon of mass destruction of their choice, be it a Stinger surface to air missile or an Abrahams M-1 tank. Now, rest assured that law abiding Americans have nothing to fear from a responsible nuclear weapon owner like myself. I would only use my hydrogen bomb in lawful manner, such as hunting or self-defense. I will say this, though, those blackjack dealers at the Golden Nugget might not want to cheat me the next time I roll into Las Vegas.

Dear Gun Guys,

George W Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft loves the money that they get from Charlton Heston and the NRA and they are sure to let young children and even babies go on being shot down in cold blood to get that money. What did we ever do to deserve a crack pot like Bush.

I hope you get shot by a gun, not a person with a gun. you idiots.

Gun Guys,

You can love guns and still hate Bush.

I have guns, large and small, and I love them all. Bush is a wimp, a liar, and a moron who will fall. He's a draft-dodging chimp who has mommy on call.

Lies & Broken Promises


Dear Gun Guys,

I cannot stand this Lapierre asshole! Someone should slap the shit out of him! No one should have any gun larger than a target pistol and the regular hunting guns! There is NO need of assault weapons in our nations homes-period!

This NRA is just a political arm of the conservatives, banding together to support right wing extremists and their lackluster agenda!

Lastly, whenever this Wayne idiot comes on TV , I just switch channels as I cannot stand the sight of him or hearing this big mouthed screwball!

No liberal is going to, or even wanting to remove the guns we all have in our homes! It is just political rhetoric to slam the leftists and a possible feather in the hats of these NRA people! I have known for a long time, the conservatives have not an ounce more of religion than those of the left persuasion! These Christian imposters are no better than anyone else! They brag about having all the money and slurp down champagne instead of beer...and when you have more money, YOU are the partying one's in this nation...check out the divorce rates-as they are just as strong on the right side of the aisle than on the left!

I wouldn't vote for a conservative if its the last thing I do! PERIOD!

Dear Gun Guys,

I sent an e-mail yesterday to the Pink Pistols, a gay group of gun nuts. At the NRA gun fest last week, they went to town on gay people, speaker after speaker...

He tried real hard to shed some light on why gays are members of the NRA. My interpretation was DENIAL.

I'll check in often to keep up on my gun news.

Hey Gun Guys,

Everybody knows that guns don't kill people.

Bullets kill people.

Keep up the good work! Next time I get my web person to add links I'll include yours.

All the best,

Some classics:

I'm a proponent of gun control. For those of you in the National Rifle Association, "proponent" means I'm in favor of gun control.

If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Fine - - part of their job.

We've had the right to bear arms for over 200 years now. OK-- bear arms from over 200 years ago.


Re: Australian Gun Death Statistics

my favorite is - if guns are outlawed, how will gun nuts ever have sex?


Re: The truth

"Germany established gun control in 1938..."
I thought that the German's gun control law that Hitler was so ecstatic over was enacted in 1935 BEFORE the Nazis took over because they had no intention of turning over their guns to the police.
That's how it was so easy for them to take over.No one else could oppose them.


Re: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE

It's not just the bullet, kinetic energy kills.

Re: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE

Good point English - a great many gun owners use their guns to spice up their sex life.

Think about it - if guns are outlawed - how will gun nuts ever get their spouses to have sex?


GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE

Bullets do!!! Ban bullets and let the gun lovers stick their guns where they want. No harm will be done


Re: WHO IS TRYING TO DISARM THE POPULACE

What is reasonable? Who decides that? I am sure that Hitler thought it was reasonable to dispose of people who were not his ideal. I am sure that Clinton thought it reasonable to get it on with an intern. I am sure that many people find it reasonable that same sex marriages be treated with the same legal respect as opposite sex marriages. And I'm sure that there are plenty of people who find it reasonable to ban the use of animals for food.

Again, I ask, what is reasonable and who decides this? I have a REALLY EASY, SIMPLE answer: THE INDIVIDUAL. People should mind their business unless they are harmed. NOT if they THINK that they MIGHT be harmed- that is not good enough. Before the use of legal force prevails, there MUST be factual evidence that harm was done. PERIOD.


Re: Police are useless for protecting you

Yeah, there is always a nagging uncertainty in life that the police can do little about. However, shooting anyone who looks like they may be dangerous or merely suspicious can create a feeling of profound security. And remember, personal security is useless unless it is pro-active. It's no good laying in a pool of blood thinking to yourself "why didn't I shoot them on sight". So, it's far better to shoot first and ask questions later. If everyone did that we'd all be a lot safer.


Re: This issue is meaningless compared t

Right about now, I want to send a shout-out to each and every nigga who's entertained me through the years. I got mad love for each and every one of you niggaz. Y'all real niggaz out there, you know who you are. Y'all was there for me, and it's about time I'm-a give some love back to God's true crew.

All y'all niggaz, y'all be my niggaz.
