In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

Quote
A 2004 study by the National Research Council cast doubt on whether the programs actually make Americans safer, finding the “guns that are typically surrendered in gun buy-backs are those that are least likely to be used in criminal activities,” explains the study

“In contrast, those who are either using guns to carry out crimes or as protection in the course of engaging in other illegal activities, such as drug selling, have actively acquired their guns and are unlikely to want to participate in such programs," the study said.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I liked the part about them paying $25 for "high capacity" magazines that only cost $8 . . .  :rofl:

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Gawd, if they do that, I'll be wealthy. First to go is the Palmett State mags I got for $7 ea. Then the mags I no longer have guns for. The broke-ass Erma .22 pistol. I wish they'd do one near me.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.
