“I’d rather have it & not need it than need it & not have it.”

New Yorkers must register their semi automatic weapons by tomorrow.

To those that say “I’d rather have it & not need it than need it & not have it” I say, if you need it, you won't have time to get it and use it.

I promise all you gun lovers that if I intended to do harm to you, your gun, at best, would only make a bad situation worse.

Now if you want to murder Bambi and old lady Bambi as they graze together, your semi might help.

In general, people who believe a firearm radically enhances personal survivability in tenuous situations have never carried a firearm.

I'd say this is true.

I know that if I ever decided to take someone out I would do it in such a way that they would never know what happened. They would be walking along without a care in the world and then the lights would go out like someone flipped a switch.

This might come as a shocker to some, but in general, I agree with you.

If I ever need a gun, I want one mounted to M1a1 Abrahms or a Warthog...

A firearm rarely improves a tenuous situation.

If you really want to take someone out use your car, the sentences (if actually imposed) are relatively light.

Here are some folks who might disagree with you.

http://www.examiner.com/article/two-...pted-robberies

http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/d...rrive/25158758

I suspect these folks would tell you that they were glad they had it when they needed it. They'd also likely tell you that their firearm turned a tenuous situation to their advantage.

Whelly, Whelly, Whelly, Whelly.

You are a fine robot in the bagger army.

I can pretty much guarantee you Whelly boy, if I decide to victimize you, all your guns will mean squat.

Luckily I have a rosy disposition and would never victimize so much as a fly.


Well, maybe a fly. I mean, they are annoying.

Whelly, are you a fly?

I only victimize spiders. I revel in chasing them down with a vacuum and seeing the look of horror on their little faces as they are sucked into the tube.

Cruel I know, but the rules have been established regarding arachnids and only those breaking the rules get sucked up.

Flies are also fun but as rules have yet to be established, sucking them up is a bit unfair.
