Remember...

There are three kinds of people in this world; those who can count and those who can't!

Just view it as a different kind of "gun control."

From the conversation on the original site:

Q: How did they know what he was thinking?

A: They read his mind. On the wall near where he was standing."

That's not unlike the way Terry Kath (Chicago's original guitarist) died. He popped the clip out of the pistol, forgetting that a round was still left in the chamber. He may have been stupid, but boy could he play a guitar.

He was also pretty drunk at the time.

Yeah, he could play guitar.

This just happened near here by a teenage boy who had received the gun as a Christmas present. Ho, Ho, Ho!

There was a case quite a few years ago where a teen found a gun and was horsing around with it. pointed it at the ground and pulled the trigger several times. It didn't go off so he assumed it was empty, turned it toward himself and promptly shot himself in the throat. He was lucky...his buddy had enough presence of mind to hold hard pressure on the injured side of the neck to cut off circulation on just the one side til paramedics arrived.

I believe in the right to keep and bear arms, but with that right comes responsibility....something that seems increasingly rare in today's world (along with common sense).
