“So you have guns – my god, you must be nuts!
I couldn’t bring myself to hunt and kill,
For I’m allergic to all blood and guts,
And when I see it, down my spine a chill
It travels, and I have to take a pill.
I think all senseless shooting should be banned.
I’ll campaign for disarmament until
There’s not a single gun throughout the land.
If necessary, from your cold dead hand
I’ll take your gun if you will not comply.
This is my cause – I hope you understand.”
“Your threat is clear – and yes, I’d rather die;
My life and liberty I owe to guns
Once wielded by my country’s bravest sons.”

Another important point is that firearms already exist. They’ve been invented. They can’t be uninvented. I know a 16-year-old kid who can make his own — from scratch.
Good one! The first must be said by a Californian. They’ve just passed a law restricting guns more.
Damned Californians……..
Yeah, I know. I have to deal with those idiotic laws.
Laws are getting more restrictive here by the day. It took me over 6 months to gain possession of an inherited air rifle. They are now talking about rationing ammunition – that would include air rifle pellets, as the idiots drafting the laws wouldn’t know what an air rifle pellet was – and that’s not a joke.
