Getting rid of something that does more good then harm is just silly.

Indeed, its just a shame that the US system of 'gun control' is extremely unlikely to do more good than harm, especially when firearms are apparently to be used for 'self defense' which of course means going to the supermarket armed.

Unless its Sprouts of course, but the wife will just ignore their signs....

Then are you willing to admit the "statistical shenanigans" in relation to firearm deaths, as outlined?

The point, as usual, goes over your head.

If a year is including "firearms deaths", it does not matter if the deaths are from justifiable homicides. Someone still died to a gun.

And yet all those justifiable deaths are used as a tool by people to drive their gun control agenda. Y'know, those statistical shenanigans that appear to have gone over your head

I thought my post in the other thread was going to be a stickie in these threads?

Well, if you aren't going to put the effort in it may go unnoticed

This is adorable. If he was going to just throw 50 million away he could have asked if I wanted 1 or 2....

So really you're just getting uppity because "justifiable homicides" shouldn't be included and that apparently is some kind of evidence that the "gun control agenda" does not actually think before speaking?

Yeaaaaaaahhhh...

Suicides as well.

Think he'd contribute some to the GW-fanboi political group?

We can advocate for a national holiday(s) to hold tournaments.

It is nice to see Bloomberg can unite Dakka. He is our Captain Sobel, it seems.

He can donate it to the "Give CustomLime a Horus Heresy army" foundation. We are always accepting donations!

Or to the poor and hungry, I guess. If you want to be all not-awesome about it/

What are you going to do with half an army?

Sit on the floor of my living room with my Ultramarines and stroke a picture of Matt Ward lovingly.

Best idea ever!

Miss a shot, do a shot, spill a shot, get shot...

He should use muggs in the shape of spent artillery shells.

Biden will love it! He just needs a balcony

And this is how friends of vice presidents get shot...

Im confused. What is he doing is bad? And Im not going anti-gun, but the article leaves it vague as to what he is trying to accomplice

I think it's more weird than bad. His plan sounds solid to me. So long as his employees live by it we shouldn't have drunks firing shot guns into anyone.
