"Innocent until proven guilty"-NRA

So as I walked past the pawn shop, this semi-automatic machine pistol kept talking to me, saying "Buy me. Fill me with bullets. Kill people.". So of course I bought it, along with a couple thousand rounds of ammunition & a kit to convert it to full auto. How do you say no to such a pleasant commanding voice? I'm not stupid though. I'm not going to finish the task until I get confirmation from the voice that I'm not crazy. It'd be so much easier to listen for a sign if those brats at that day care center next door would SHUT THE FUCK UP! Ok, calm again. No worries...

Did the voice say anything about loaning money to strangers on the internet? Otherwise, your post warms my heart, to see the insane able to take advantage of thier Second Amendment rights.

Hilarious. I posted that link a few pages back, but it's worth a repost. (Don't know why it doesn't embed)

A gun can be one hell of an anchor. I don't think Mr. Heston's going to be floating off to Heaven anytime soon.

I watched it Trish. Excellent. But if you read the posts in response to it, it gets scarey.

Not so much lending as borrowing.

It's amazing how much preparation is involved in premeditation. Wouldn't want to seem rash.

How does one, an individual, protect/defend oneself against a "tyrannical" government? I've never understood that. (Plus corporations control our government. So, we are "defending" ourselves against corporations....)
I support defending one's home... against people trying to break in etc., etc.
But how can one defend oneself against the U.S. government????
I mean, how did the whole David Koresh thing work out????

Guns, in the hands of civilians, are hardly ever used for protection. People tell you they own this or that weapon for protection, but what they really mean is they bought an expensive and dangerous security blanket. A gun in a house is more likely to be involved in an accidental shooting or a suicide than in protecting the family.

Oh yeah, they're also huge phallic symbols too. Owners like to show them off and compare. They also get big silly grins on their faces when they ejaculate hot lead at high speed through the exquisitely machined barrels. The more rounds per minute the better. That's just like a man. All speed and no foreplay.
