Mental health professionals are in the phone book, Seeth, you should look them up. The need is obvious.

That story is obviously a lie. We know that because the Great Guru, Seth, tells us that concealed carry people never use their guns irresponsibly.
He'll just dismiss it as an anecdote ... that somebody else told. :roll:

Funny, the last time I talked to a mental health professional we spent 15 minutes after the session discussing the benefits and necessities of firearms. It seems that he carries too. Go figure.

I think you pick 'em carefully. Vampires only go to places that are open at night.

Re-do your maths, Seth.
no one here is going to let you get away with adding a couple of zero's to make the numbers look more in your favour.
And as I calculated earlier, 100,000 people per year receiving a bullet means that, over the average life time, one in 50 Americans are shot. That is not an insignificant number. it is an appallingly high number.

The problem is not how you interpret the law, but the simple fact that American gun law is insane. Witness the fact that the other 23 richest nations have diametrically opposite approaches to gun law.

As I said, it is probably psychobabble. But it correctly identifies extreme gun lovers as being the wrong side of the line separating sane and not so sane.
And I don't disagree. What I disagree with is whether or not it says anything at all about penis size. That's the psychobabble part of it. It's just pure rhetoric probably made up by some guy with penis envy. Pot-kettle-black kinda thing.

You are probably correct, but please keep that under your hat. It is much more fun to use the psychobabble.

For those of us who both own big guns and also own big guns ( ;)), it's annoying because it's so obviously false.

Not to worry my Ozzie bredrin'. Even righteously inebriated as I am, I observe proper firearm safety protocols.

No kidding. The alcohol cuts all the oil right out, resulting in dangerous jamming and excessive wear on the moving parts.

:pardon: Sorry...
