I got you thinking don’t I? “gun owners bastard” brings up first result a link that agrees with that. “gun owners psychopath” top several, “gun owners racist” likewise.\* \*Yeah, not actually of the opinion that gun owners are these things. That’s a silly argument of yours. Luckily for racist, psychotic bastards, “gun owners ice cream” brings up a link that suggest you can turn in your guns for a tasty treat! ---

No shit Sherlock, but I don’t even know how many guns I have in the US. Probably near 100, including a lot of class 3 weapons. You really think I’m going to improve my collection if I move to Somalia? What am I going to do, move there and buy an AK47. I have 2 already and they’re kind of pieces of shit. “The US has about ten times the rate of civilian firearms possession that Somalia does, by the way.” ---

Selective quoting on your part is no indication of anything on my part. Well, except that it might lend weight to my assessment of how dumb you obviously are. ---

Where did you hear that it was my favourite book? Talk about projection; just because _Calvin and Hobbes_ would obviously be college-level reading by _your_ stunted drug-abusing-pregnant-mom standards doesn’t make it _my_ favourite. ---
