Just as a hammer is designed to pound nails, even if it sits in a dark & forgotten tool box. baldguy May 2012 #23

You contradict yourself in your last two sentences: friendly_iconoclast May 2012 #30

You keep using that word "contradict". I do not think it means what you think it means. baldguy May 2012 #31

Even for a gun restrictionist seeking to exploit this tragedy, your comment makes little sense. aikoaiko May 2012 #14

I'm just agreeing with the NRA that there should be no limits on gun availability. onehandle May 2012 #15

Your supposition is false. aikoaiko May 2012 #19

I'm sure you *believe* that's what the NRA thinks. Lots of Colonists do. friendly_iconoclast May 2012 #21
