Because guns are eeeeeeeeeevil.
No, you can also wound and maim them.
That would have been so cool if they did. Who’s this “Prince Of Peace” you’re talking about? I thought Christmas was all about Santa.
Seriously though, I’d be with you if it were true that Christmas was all about Jesus and Christian values. But that’s no longer the case, my friend. I’m afraid you’re living in the past.
Oh yes, yes it would.
Guns don’t kill people, bullets kill people.
WWJK?
They didn’t call their most famous model the Peacemaker for nothing.
We three Kings of Orient are,
Packing heat we traverse afar,
Smith and Wessons have our blessing,
Following that shooting star.
O gun of wonder, gun of might,
Gun with gleaming blueing bright,
Controlled breathing, finger squeezing,
Guide us with your perfect sight.
Bravo!
It’s the Holy Land, not holly land. And did they really have snow at the birth of Jesus? I thought the Weather Channel settled this in the negative.
We got a nice nativity seen in my workplace lobby, complete with wise mens, baby Jesus, hay and domestic animals. I am so far resisting temptation to add the figure of Gumby who sits on my computer monitor, not to mention certain atypical plastic animals that figure in our Halloween decorations.

Eh, cars are better at that. Have you pitted those damn Lexus ads? C’mon, who buys someone a Lexus for Christmas? And how do you get it home with the big bow on it and still have the big bow looking pretty? The wind and snow would leave the thing in tatters.
While bracing for being wooshed: You buy the bow seperately and keep it at home until the car is in the driveway.
You can do lots of things with a screwdriver. You can jimmy open a window, scrape between floor tiles, crack open a coconut. All that doesn’t change the fact that screwdrivers are a tool designed for the specific purpose of turning screws.
Look, I like guns. I like handling them, I like talking about them, I like shooting them. But I take them very seriously. Whenever I hold a weapon, I have no illusions about the fact that I holding a tool designed for the specific purpose of killing people. And if I happen to find out that the gun I’m holding wasn’t designed for the specific purpose of killing people I’ll trade it immediately for one that was, because otherwise, what would be the point?
We’re subscribing to a new magazine this year at the library. It’s called “Garden and Gun”. I find that much funnier than a sale (gasp!) on firearms.
Because if you are hunting upland birds, a 1911A1 .45 pistol isn’t the right tool for the job. If you are competing in biathlon, an AK-74 isn’t the right tool for the job. If you are shooting skeet, an M-16A2 isn’t the right choice for the task…and so on. I own a good many firearms that were designed for use antipersonnel use. I also own a bunch that weren’t. I have a point for owning each of them.
Let me know next time that happens, because I’ve a number that were not designed for the specific purpose of killing people. At least half a dozen .22’s (I’ve not counted lately), a couple of high power rifles that were designed for the specific purpose of putting .3 inch holes very close together at a considerable distance, some that were designed to kill assorted cuddly little critters, plus all those Ruger’s.
I’d be happy to take any non-mankiller off your hands, free of charge!
If someone buys me the SUV-sunroof-mounted minigun that Jamie Hyneman used on mythbusters recently to shoot a fish in a barrel, I will accept it.
When GE makes a gun, they make a GUN.
Somehow I suspect that the OP used that particular brand not because of its relative quality relative to other competing handguns, but because it fit into the song’s melody a bit better than:
Deck the Halls with Glock
Jingling shells,
Jinglings shells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun,
It is to shoot,
While riding in a sleigh…
