mukaumedia "The bullet will enter your brain and scramble it but it won't exit the other side" said without a flicker of humanity or any sense of what that really means. Shocking.

ian That was kind of amusing hearing how you jumpy you were, I doubt I would be quite the same although I too feel the same about guns, from England too, and have the same lack of experience you had. So do we call you "Annie (get your gun" now?! I think the experience was really good and could have gone worse, like this this stick-thin girl firing a gun that is definitely too big for her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIw40yqE3sY

Whatsofunny Gun owners are now runnin’ scared, For fear that their guns will be snared. But they’ll never find ‘em. They know where to hide ‘em. Shoot first, question later, be prepared. What’s so funny about this? Gun control is a very hot topic these days, here in the U.S. It’s not funny and it never has been. The issue is very emotional and therefore very irrational, with a lot of right and left wing politics in there mixed with a good dollop of racism. I will say that I’m flat out against owning a gun or an arsenal of guns. Though, I am very much for individual rights and against government intrusion and imposition of one type of morality or religion. Also, I’m not convinced that the constitution really says it’s OK for individuals to possess nuclear weapons for self-defense; I do acknowledge that owning a gun is symbolic of individual liberty, and while I am personally against hunting and don’t really see target shooting as much of a sport, I am not prepared to impose my view on the entire population of the United States. However, I feel very strongly that weapons of mass destruction such as assault rifles should absolutely be illegal. Simply put, if they weren’t available, psychos couldn’t get them, most of the time. It’s impossible to predict how much gun control will finally come out of the latest efforts. Sadly, it is completely possible to predict that there will be more shootings before and after new laws are passed. However today’s joke pokes fun at the attitude of gun owners who seem to see ANY effort by the government to control guns and even ammunition as a sign that government storm troopers are about to break into homes in the middle of the night to confiscate all and any guns. This is pure paranoia.The gun owners only answer is to create their own storm troopers and break into government houses in the middle of the night. Do them before they do you. Some of the pronouns in the limerick are deliberately vague. Who is meant by the word THEY? The government? The gun owners? What is meant by THEM? Guns? Gun owners? Who will shoot first? These are tricky questions and only the unfolding of events will reveal the answers. And THAT’s what’s so funny!
