    It seems that you have a hard time comprehending what people write so I didn't bother going further.

    That ignore button I might actually start using, never thought I'd say that.

    Remember you can only use one at a time.  
    I’m willing to bet there’s a picture of some “responsible” gun owner shooting more than one or two firearms at a time floating around YouTube and/or the interwebs, maybe even three or four.
    Explain to me how someone could fire three of four separate firearms at that same time.

    Well to be fair this time it was in a checked bag.

    You just know this guy knew he wasn't suppose to have a gun in Japan and was trying to sneak it in.  Loaded?  really?  I hope Japan uses the full weight of their laws here.

    Someone who claims they don’t know how their gun ended up in their luggage, shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun. In any country.

    When you’re in such a hurry packing you forget that you packad a loaded gun.

    I went to that garlic festival two years ago.  Why anyone wants to shoot up any festival is beyond me.

    I've been around firearms almost all my life so it's not a big deal to me but I can see why people don't get it.

    This is so dam sad and pathetic.  The freaking Garlic Festival?  This has long been a great event, something families have enjoyed for decades.  And now more death by guns.  Notice the weapon of choice:  assault rifle.  Fuck.

    Speaking of concerts....a friend and drove up to St Augustine FL for a show on Friday. One of the bands we are friends and the band asked us to bring West Indian food. We drove through a storm and a flat and arrived as they hit the stage. 

    While at security they checked EVERY meal container we had. Then the head security said we could NOT take it to the band even though we had AA passes waiting. He took all the food and I said to my friend I hope he takes it to the right band. We couldn't believe how seriously tight the security was but we never objected and followed whatever security protocol they wanted in order to get into the amphitheater.

    Even inside the amphitheater when we were with any of the band members and ventured out into the audience to see the headliner we had an armed guard with us. This was a first in the over a hundred times we have seen the band. Next time we see Michael I'll ask him about the heightened security as he's about to head off to Europe after 9 more shows.

    This is so creepy and weird. You're really not that different than Wayne Lapierre or any of them. The same way someone like Lapierre would want to see a low body count just so he can say "See, guns aren't bad," you seemingly want a higher body count (you can't wait to wake up and read what it is after all) so you can say "See, guns ARE bad." These are actual people that were murdered. They're not just statistics for gun-loving nuts or gun-hating nuts to back up their message board arguments. Pathetic.
