The barrel makes it go fast? That's nutzoid. RobertEarl Jan 2013 #43
Of course the barrel makes it go fast (along with the chamber). Do you understand how guns work? Recursion Jan 2013 #50

Nice deflection, but a fail. TheCowsCameHome Jan 2013 #135
It's not a fail or a deflection former-republican Jan 2013 #137
Is that a request, or a demand? TheCowsCameHome Jan 2013 #139

Your post was based on a purely hypothetical scenario (your very words) TheCowsCameHome Jan 2013 #155
Your conjecture that the person values guns over a domicile relies on several huge assumptions slackmaster Jan 2013 #156
