Are you there God? It's me, Whatchuwant. I just got my period and I really feel like shooting someone.

Violence, like French, is a language that some people speak.

Sadly, it is at times the only language they speak.

You have either fond this out by now, or will find it out down the road. Either way, you will indeed find it out.

Someone's been reading a little too much Cormac McCarthy, methinks.

Thank God that moderators don't quelch conversations that some do not like.

Thanks

nyc gun laws sucks to the max. criminals are better armed than law abiding people.

I'm not sure you want everyone walking around packing heat either. I spent nearly three years in Arizona, where anyone with a permit can walk around with an UNconcealed weapon and often did. First, it's creepy to be waiting for a table in a restaurant behind a party of four who all have handguns strapped to their belts. Second, it doesn't cut down on the crime rate at all, but does increase the number of accidental shootings.

Criminals don't mug people because they don't think they'll get caught. They do it out of desperation and/or feeling like it's the only way they can get by. Adding another gun to the mix just ups the lethality.

Buy the pepper spray.

One correction, AZ does NOT require a permit, license, or registration of any kind to carry of unconcealed firearm. And as you pointed out, many people do. AZ does require as easily obtainable permit to carry a concealed firearm.

You do hear about a lot more accidental shootings in AZ than here, many involve children. Other common pastimes out there that you don't hear about nearly as much around here include drive-bys, and random bullets falling from the sky since some people fail to realize that what goes up must come down. Oh, and road rage shootings. A neighbor of mine got followed home and shot and killed in his driveway in front of his family because he supposedly cut another guy off in traffic. But don't worry, the shooter served a solid two and half years before they let him out...
