steel, gun oil and the smell of ozone.

“Tell me the first things that come into your mind... about your mother...”

Any sane group of folks calling themselves a country, knowing that there is the possiblity that some other In-sane type may procure illegally or otherwise a firearm, should give its citizenry the same opportunity, and not leave them out in the cold.

Fact: There are guns in the world
Fact: Some people use guns for badness
Fact: Not all people are irresponsible fucks with guns who have ill-will and tissue damage in mind when they pick one up.
So...does it not follow that a reasonable response to the situation be to make legal,a status quo with the idea of self-preservation in mind?

Anti gun folks are ideallistic, dreamers, who wish for a secret soft and pretty place, aplace that never heard of a gun.
When that Paradigm presents itself, I'll be the first in line to beat mine into plowshares....untill then, I'll keep my plowshares, and my guns, oiled and ready.
