the pro-gun/pro-NRA people can argue point by point on their own little group without
disrespecting the wishes here.
and vice versa.

One other suggestion is immediately stop those ugly pictures of guns(almost always posted very large, and worrying about whether a term is not 100% correct.)
WGAS what model/type it is.

Makes no difference to the person who is shot and wounded or killed.
And if the gun pro's were genuine, they could keep their guns without the need for bullets.

If the Conn. shooter had no bullets, 20 kids would be alive today.
He shot what, 150 times?
It's not the gun, it's the bullet.

BTW, a code word to tell, could be the word creepy. Seems to be a pattern when someone uses that word as to which side they are on while on a gun thread.One of those soundbyte words.
