2. BRING THE YOUNG'NS IN!!

True remark overheard at the Outdoor World in Arundle Mills mall:

Mother to her 9-year-old: "Grab the bullets, son!"

I couldn't make this up if I tried.

3. Yeegads, that's right there on busy as hell Scottsdale Road,

right in the tourist heart of Scottsdale, AZ.

My mom lives in Scottsdale and she just beams with pride when she sees it (note deep sarcasm, my feisty 81 year old mom HATES guns).

I've seen that damn sign for nearly 25 years, sometimes daily, and I still wince every time. :scared: (as in creepy)

Edit: note that nearly a million cars A DAY pass that sign. Eeeeeeuuuuww.

24. I thought it looked familiar

now i remember where I saw it ... on our way to/from the Soda Pop Shop with my wife and father-in-law. We were all a little freaked out by the sign.

[blondeatlast]

29. TWENTY YEARS or more it's been there.

They used to be just off of Scottsdale Rd. and the sign wasn't revolting, very simple.

It was shortly after they moved onto Scottsdale Rd. that they put it up.

I console myself thinking it keeps Scottsdale Rd. values low enough independent businesses still reign.

4. Hey, they believe in arming bears, too?

[blondeatlast]

6. They use that line in their advertising, Cute, eh?

:puke:

[KitchenWitch]

7. puke city!

13. Leveling the Playing Field With Bear Hunters, I'm Guessing

[dean_dem]

33. It's in the Constitution, don't ya know.

Right after the part that gives you freedom to exercise.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. LOL! I love it!

[KitchenWitch]

8. nothin' like marketing guns to the young 'uns

[alarimer]

9. You have the right to bear arms

But not the right to arm bears!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

10. Oh, I wish I had said that! There is nothing the repukes won't do

to make sure that every American is armed 24/7 (well, only repukes - it will be open season on the rest of us "un-Americans." Actually read somewhere last week there was real discussion going on about allowing teenagers to carry guns to school so they could protect themselves from "wacky" kids who want to shoot up a school. Just what this nation needs - a bunch of hormonal teenagers all packing heat and pissed off because Suzy or Billy smiled at somebody or a teacher decided to not to give the desired grade.

Are we quickly approaching the point of no return for this nation? Just when you think things can get no worse, we have hit bottom and will start rebounding with common sense and sanity another repug gets near a microphone and throws a new scare into the sheeple. I'm betting there are people who think it would be a good idea to let the kiddies carry a handgun in their back pack - right next to their sack lunch and book report.

[Coventina]

11. I see that sign almost every day!

I live right in the neighborhood.

Yep, we love our guns here in the wild west.

Right now there's a bill going through our state house that would allow guns in bars and schools!!!

So have pity on me!

[blondeatlast]

17. Sometimes I just beam with pride to be a progressive in Arizona...

I know I did once, recently; trying hard to remember...

Oh yeah, when Rep. Grijalva took on Wal-Mart.

Alas, I'll wait another year or so. At least I know I don't suffer alone.. (sigh)

[Squeech]

14. Yay!

I'm sold! I'm gonna buy a gun RIGHT NOW! It should come in teal green, to match the rest of my decor! And it should be at least a .357 caliber, so it makes a REALLY CUTE AND COLORFUL EXIT WOUND!

[matcom]

15. i want a Machine-Gun Barbie!

:bounce:

[blondeatlast]

19. Mandall's has had ads that are pretty close to your wish--no joke.

Buxom blondes with AK-47s, I kid you not.

I checked for a website and couldn't find, but thye run ads like that in our local "alternative" paper, which isn't really.

22. Looks like a Valentine's gift for your favorite NRA sweetie (n/t)

[TheMightyFavog]

27. Speaking of the NRA...

[blondeatlast]

32. I thought he was gonna say:

Take it to a gun show and sell it for Pokemon cards!

[Lone Pawn]

26. They have the inalienable, God-given right to arm bears.

[SOteric]

28. We have a gun shop on Hwy 99 in Seattle,

that proudly and largely advertises that they're "open 'til 3:00 a.m."

To this day I wonder why anyone would just have to buy a gun at 3 o'clock in the morning.

[blondeatlast]

30. When do the bars close?

Okay, that was a sick thought, I grant you.

But I live in Arizona, which tried to pass legislation allowing concealed weapons in bars.

Nothing is beyond the Arizona state legislature.

38. Barking dogs

31. There was a store in Houston

when I was in high school called "Guns 'n' Stuff". Nothin' too high-tone.

[AlCzervik]

34. on business 80 in sacramento near the Cal expo center they always have

billboards for upcoming events and about 3 months there is one that reads.....Doll and Gun show

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

35. Simpson's Episode

The one where Homer joins the NRA. The name of the sporting goods store where he bought his gun was "Blood, Bath, and Beyond."

[Bertha Venation]

36. The Right to Arm Bears

:shrug:

[Cush]

37. Guns don't kill people, Fozzie Bear does!

[name not needed]

41. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear

Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
So Fuzzy Wuzzy grabbed an Uzi and shot his neighbors

[RagingInMiami]

39. I knew that sign looked familiar

It's in Scottsdale, Arizona. I've shot my gun there before.

[flvegan]

42. No opposable thumbs. How will Teddy Ruxpin pull the trigger?

Jesus, people, research!!!
