Rob, if you use your scroll saw to cut the bottom out of the spoon, you won't get fat!!!

Same old flawed logic!
Frankly it is Bull Sh&%!
Guns do not kill people! Criminals who obtain guns illegally kill people!
Often quoted! - I will give up my guns when you pry them from my COLD, Dead hands!!!!!!!!!
Like it or not that is MY stand on guns!
I will defend myself with lethal force if I have to and if YOU are on the other end of the muzzle you damn well better be aware and understand the consequences.

I like the way you think.

My oldest son says "Guns don't kill people. Fathers of pretty girls kill people!"
Personally I love people who don't believe in guns. It makes them easier to shoot (only in self defense of course) ::)

Thousands of years ago people sat around in caves debating if rocks killed people or if people with rocks killed people.

GB, I agree with you, if we were allowed to have them here I would get myself a gun too. Our stupid laws here mean we get charged with assault if we hit a burgler with a bit of 2x4 when he breaks into our houses and attacks us with a knife. If I could I'd shoot him then debate the rights and wrongs later.

Hi Keefie i'm right with you RE the guns. By the way if I cut a hole in the bottom of the spoon I,d be there for ever more trying to empty the bowl. Mind you I would be a bit thinner. lol.

Those folks who don't believe in guns need a sign saying so in their yard. I'd even put one up in my yard saying
"Stupid over there (with an arrow pointing the way) doesn't believe in guns"!
I wonder how long it would be before he asked me to take it down?
Before or after he was robbed????

I grew up the step son of a gunsmith. We always had at least 20 to 30 guns in the house. Not a single one of them there guns ever went crazy and killed anyone. Come to think of it...nor did anyone in the house. Guess them guns are not all that bad. If only people would get educated on gun safety. BTW...most them guns were not locked up, at age six I was taught not to touch them. Could stand at the gun cabinets and look all I wanted, but if I even lifted a finger to touch the cabinet I was in trouble. In return I got to go on the range and fire some pretty cool guns.

Right with you on the "Firearms Education"!
I once brought an unusual handgun home from work and laid it on the table in front of my 6 year old son.
I just left it there to see what he would do....he sat there looking at it for a while and I asked, "Why don't you pick it up and look at it?"
His answer, " Dad, I don't know how to open it to see if it is loaded so I won't touch it."
That is when I realized my "Firearms Education" program was a success!
And his younger sister and brother went through the same process....

Our oldest son is a gun enthusiast. He and I have taken a couple of tactical handgun classes together and had a great time together. He haw always taught gun safety to his kids and keeps his guns in a safe (handguns) and a locked cabinet (long guns). His 9 year old is visiting me right now. I took my Grandson to the local pistol range this weekend and was very impressed at how well he handled himself. He respects the weapons and rules, knows how to clear and check a weapon, and only proceeds when given the ok. He also shoots more accurately than many adults I know. The local police practice at the same range, and a Captain gave him a stick on badge and complemented him on his behavior.

GB, sounds like you got your education perfectly right with your son.
-
All three of my children are well trained in firearm safety and so are their children!
I insisted on it and it was required learning in our house.
No relative of mine will ever be harmed by the so called "unloaded gun"!
They all know how to check the firearms for safety!

I grew up around all sorts of firearms mostly long guns until I reached my teens then I was given my first hand gun and I was bitten. Hand guns are COOL. I even made a mistake in my youth and shot myself in the leg like so many others. Fortunately it was with a 22 if I had done it with the Ruger Blackhawk I later purchased I would have blown my leg off. Needless to say I learned my lesson in gun safety. I have passed along the information to many folks I've taught to shoot safely.
I made a couple of mistakes that resulted in the bullet in my leg.
First, the holster didn't fit the gun properly, the holster was an open one that let the barrel protrude a couple inches beyond the holster which had been made for a shorter gun.
Second, I was attempting to make a "fast" draw with thumb on the hammer and finger on the trigger, I started the draw with the hammer being pulled to the cocked position and
Third, The front sight caught on the front of the holster and caused my finger to depress the trigger. BOOM and Gabby hit the dirt, the bullet hit my knee and knocked my leg out from under me.
If you have ever had someone sneak up behind you and bump the back of your knee you know how it makes your leg buckle. Well imagine the force equal to a mule's kick!
Well that's my lesson on how NOT to shoot a single action six shooter.
Let that be a lesson to you whippersnappers. ;D
