Reply #223: If you can't take the heat, don't pack any

Maybe you can find something a little less lethal to show off with.

Until then, you get to wonder about becoming just another little man with a big toy.

Meanwhile, you probably won't notice how many healthy people with an interest in staying that way will make a point of staying out of range of you, leaving just you and other people who like to play with guns showing off for each other.

And that's fine -- you can have your Constitutional right to blow each other away, for all I care, just as long as I can have my Constitutional right to stay healthy and outside the blast radius of the next half-cocked hero acting out his Lone Ranger fantasies.

I can't imagine why it would matter, but just in case I've left anything out or you have any remaining question about what my particular view on this subject is, just let me know, bub, and I will be glad to explain it to you in no uncertain terms.
