I whimsically felt the need to have a thread hijacked by a gun debate. I couldn't think of one to write. First I thought I'd write one on the virtue of "nuggets" thinkin people would notice that the word "gun" was in it, but that sounded just too obtuse. Besides, y'all might think I meant chicken nuggets, and being a veggie-saurus I can't have that.

So, candor being a virtue, I decided to just ask for what I wanted. If you don't like the 3 sniper posts, the 2 constitutional posts, or the 2 actual gun-oriented posts, then by all means, please post your gun topics here. ;)

Welcome Welcome to my Hijacked Thread! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

And remember: Guns don't kill people. Really really BIG guns kill people. :D

I'm bored of guns. Isn't the weather nice today? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sure thing!

This is my rifle (holding rifle)
this is my gun (points to groin)
this is for killing (rifle)
this is for fun (groin)

Thanks you in advance for your accolades [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tried to start a gun thread for us gun bunnies to hijack, but nobody seemed interested. :D

Not in the WIndy City, it's not. :(

Just testing you soldi....um...er sailor.

***realizes he forgot to look at LoA's service record***

You pass! And are darned lucky you were paying attention. ;)

I don't wanna talk about guns, i wanna talk about beer.

Well, good for you, Marine. I thought that I heard somebody say that if a Marine ever saluted an ensign, the light must have been bad. ;)

SAILOR?????? I'll have you know my farts still squeak! Should you here a loud BRAAAAPPPPP you know its an ex-sailor. They get lonely on them ships :D

Winston Churchill, when he was First Lord of the Admiralty, was told that something was contrary to the traditions of the Royal Navy. His reply: "The traditions of the Navy are rum, sodomy, and the lash. Good day, gentlemen." [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

LOL thats a great quote! Your killing me Attalus! Err I mean PO3 Attalus [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Um....former US military person? [img]smile.gif[/img]

The fermentation process doesn't make people drunk, people make the ferment..um..er...

Ok, that's not going to work!

If everyone carried beer, then there would be less...beer...drinking?

No that's not quiet right, either ***shakes head***

:D

If the only good gun is a dead gun and guns are inanimate objects and thus dead does that make all guns good?

The only good beer is an empty beer, but it's only good if its empty because it's original contents are in my stomach!

**shrugs**

Nope, that's not it either. Not catchy enough! :shakeshead:

Can I get sweet and sour sauce with those nuggets? :D LOL, the title alone, made me peek in here!

just remember that there is no such thing as gravity the earth sucks!
or is that work sucks? I just know that guns don't suck they blow real loud
unless you tell them to wisper but they never listen,cause they don't have ears but they do have a hammer that you can't build a house with, go figure!

If guns don't kill people; people kill people. Then what do guns kill?
If I kill a bottle of beer will I be charged with murder?

*dips antryg in sweet and sour sauce* [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

OK, guns don't kill; it's the bullets that do. But only if they're going really, really fast. Or if your stupid enough to put some on a table and start hitting them with a hammer. I suppose a gun could kill if you bludgeon someone with it. But if you notice in the movies, it doesn't work very well to just throw it at someone.

If cartoons have taught me anything (and face it, we all know they have), then it is entirely possible to spit bullets with great effect, rendering guns worthless.

But that does mean that bullets kill people, and not guns?

Antryg, if you kill a bottle of beer you should be PRAISED. Killing a bottle of beer is one of the most noble things that a person can do. :D

And the beer likes it, too! Trust me, in killing a bottle of beer, you are assisting it in reaching its full self-actualization. There can be nothing more noble. Except killing a glass of MacCallan 12 year perhaps. :D

[edit] And with this post I make avatar! Always wanted to be an avatar. No, wait, I always wanted to *have* an avatar. The coolest thing is I'm one step closer to that really cool "boy am I surprised" Apophis portrait. :D

Man, I'm so pissed! (and I mean angry, not drunk, for you Brits out there :D ) The one thread I asked everyone to hijack and NO ONE DID!! I should have posted a "Don't dare hijack this thread" thread instead.

[img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

You think YOU'RE mad, TL? I never got my chicken nuggets! GRRR! [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

no - it's tjhe person USING it that kills people. a guun on its own is a lump of metal

Guns are merely tools, what kind of work they do is determined by the user. To be afraid of guns just because they are guns is like being afraid of a hammer, or a chain-saw, both dangerous if not understood and used properly. Most people fear that which they know nothing about. Any solid object can be used to kill, so guns don't have a corner on that market. Unless a HUMAN picks up a gun, loads it, aims it at another person and fires it, a gun is just as incapable of killing as a flower is. Withuot human intervention, a gun would eventually rust away in the last place it was put.

What you should have done is posted Why gun control is necessary or why guns should be confiscated. :D

I know, but that would have obviated my use of charming sarcasm and wit, now wouldn't it. :D

I think we should continue using Timbers thread for the glorification of alcohol. Also I would also to further my own personal agenda by promoting female promiscuity. :D

That said, LoA, I'm packing up and heading somewhere for a good glass of scotch or bourbon that's actually older than my underwear. :D And please, for my sake, if you don't drink it straight or on the rocks, don't let me know because that's offensive to good whiskey. ;) Aren't there sayings about lawyers and booze? *sigh* [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img]

TL-
Maybe if it wasn't for gun control laws I would have had something to use to hijack this thread. I tried a knife but all that happened is that now I have a cordless mouse.

Headlines you'll probably never see. ;)

'30,000 Americans killed with hammers in the past year.'

'Chainsaw sniper terrorizes three states - no description yet'

'Schoolboy goes crazy and kills 12 schoolmates with a stick of celery'

On the topic of gun control, specifically in Illinois, I have a relative that says she'll move out of state if a certain person gets elected, because of his views on gun control. My own dad has said several times that if guns get outlawed that they'll have to break in and forceably take his. Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind if his were taken from him. He'd treatened to shoot a couple of guys I'd dated (and was NOT joking).

Oh jeeze, uh, antryg, NOOOO not the mouse...aha, but I have a cordless one that is also

*drumroll*

OPTICAL! :D
