See? Molson is supposed to be the tim hortons of Canadian beer, but when it comes to beer we all drink literally anything else.

A bug detector would make more sense, find out if it's true before doing anything else.

I'm guessing someone else found out something he wanted to keep secret and he jumped to the (rather unhinged) conclusion his house was bugged. But for all I know his house may have been bugged after all.

A handgun is a tool for taking human life at close range. To claim "guns save lives" is simply ridiculous. If you own a handgun and aren't prepared to kill someone you feel is going to harm you, you have the wrong idea entirely. EMTs save lives. Guns kill people.

It is a slaughter and not just a political dispute.

I'm not certain Ors has ever asserted that guns save lives. It's also worth noting that killing people can certainly save lives, if such a person was a killer.

Well goddamnit I need to get my money back as I have a small arsenal of pistols that must be defective as they do nothing but punch holes in paper targets and have never harmed anyone ever.

Guns only purpose is to kill people.... what a stupid fucking argument. :roll:

I mean... yeah it's a weapon. Not to say whether or not anything should be done about guns but weapons are designed to kill or maim people or other living things.

People use throwing axes, does that mean an axe isn't a tool for cutting down trees?

Well fuck. I guess I've been using mine wrong all these years. All I use my firearms for is punching paper, ringing steel, and breaking clay targets.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

Not all killings are unjust. Self defense shooting for instance, which do, in fact, save lives.
