OK I am not against guns. I eat red meat. I like spinach. I don't wear a gas mask. I don't wear gloves (but I wash my hands enough).

Not at all. How often are you going to be doing that? Luckily the last time I stepped up to stop people from making a bad move, I just needed to grab something blunt.
- dksuddeth: "statistics don't mean crap when it's you that becomes the victim."
Agreed. I don't want to be another victim. But chance doesn't change just because it happened once. I can happen again.
- dksuddeth: "mass killings happen because none of the victims have a means of defense. They don't happen in gun shows because the people in there have a ready means of equal firepower to defend themselves, limiting any carnage and murder."
Just because it hasn't happened at a gun show, does not mean some nutjob can't walk into a gun show packing and blow away some people. The only difference is his ass is grassed by the patrons of the gun show, thus removing said nutjob's luxury of ending his own life.

They come in my size. I bet you can find one too.
- @ Willravel:
The other things I can prepare for... well they can be out of my hands. Natural. A nutjob walking into a restaurant is not natural. At least it shouldn't be for this century. PM me links to threads or sites that warn me of the dangers of my ignorance. I trust you to hand out safe websites, if not legitimate sources.
I AM NOT AGAINST GUNS!
Is it because our generation is a bunch of underachievers, overstimulated by video games and mass media, end up working at the last minute, buys coffee at Star Bucks for $3.00 a jolt when they could have made it for $0.30 at home? (I'm done stealing a friend's interpretation of what the fuck in wrong with this generation.) I want to know why our generation is going down the tubes.
