Speaking of which, why is it that every time one of these threads come up, another "I will not be demonized" pops up?
Sorry Queen, but that links to (so far) two very well written and thought out posts about gun safety practices. Just don't see anything defensive or "gun nut apologist" in them.

I'm very much in favor of whatever regulations and screening and background check laws that are enforceable to lower gun violence and accidents being enacted nation wide. Getting easy-to-understand safety tips and rules of ownership out there to the public is probably much more effective in tamping down the deadly stupid shit we see in re gun violence and accidents. Since the weapons are already ubiquitous, educating people on safety to counteract the American gun=empowerment mentality by explaining just how they work, and how dangerous they can be, and how to handle them in a more safe and responsible manner is a public service.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

1. Would that thread even exist but-for the existence of this one?
2. There are also at least 2 or 3 examples from the past I could pull, so at this point, it is a trend.

If you do feel like pulling up examples, do it in F&B.

I sense another gun debate on the horizon.   Cuz I'm psychic like that.

Personally, I think another gun debate should be framed with the question 'Should we be using lightsabres instead?'

Personally, I say yes.

If the second half of a question is "... or lightsabers." Lightsabers are always the right answer.

What about...  A gun that shoots lightsabers?  No no... A gun that shoots chainsaws made of lightsabers.

... That are on fire!

Eh, I still don't know why there shouldnt be background checks, waiting times between purchase, bans on semi-automatic or automatic weapons. Legislated requirements for storage, ie gun safes separate from ammunition (also in safe).

There are, those vary by state, that's fucking stupid, the requirement to get those are high to say nothing of price, separate safes are debatably unnecessary, and I think some states have full rebates for safes, respectively.

Red states tend to not care as much about mental health in general.  Of course, blue states aren't that much better, however.
