I guess some people might find such threads distasteful, but as another poster mentioned there have been threads on drinking. [and smoking]
And what about fast cars and fast driving?
More people are killed in auto acidents....
Fact is, unless this place only allows headphone subjects someone somewhere is will find something to take offence at.
But too many limitations will make this place awfully boring!

Originally Posted by n4k33n /img/forum/go_quote.gif My girlfriend was a staunch gun control advocate while she was an undergrad at the University.

She attended gun shows, went to the ranges, read the literature, and made an honest attempt to confront her feelings. When it was over, she was a convert. She now is a proud gunowner (she owns a .40 glock for those interested). I won't go into the reasons for her conversion, because I don't want to be the one to start (the inevitable) flamewar. But my question is, how many of those who don't like guns, or favor gun control, have actually ever fired a firearm? This is an honest question, as my experience has been that much of the fear behind this issue is from the unknown. My girlfriend (and my) experience was that once we had gone to the range a couple times, much of the fear and doubt about guns went away after we actually tried them. |
