| 29. You forgot to add a question |
|
Have you ever been robbed at gun point?
Yes
Have you ever been shot at by random thugs when you were a child?
Yes
Do you have friends who have been raped at gun point?
Yes
Do you have friends who have died through random gun violence?
Yes
Nice one sided post though. I think that the ratio of fucknut whackjobs who kill and brutalize people every day with guns to the ratio of normal people who stop said whackjobs with their guns is rediculously unfavorable to the gun lobby.
