My dad was known as the man with the BAR...

They don't know the havoc they can reek!

My Dad was in Europe , and was decorated no less than your dad. He kept guns in the house always. He trained my brothers and myself on saftey and responsibility with firearms . we never thought of harming anyone with a firearm.

Really OMG, really I mean seriously wow!

One question though

Have you ever seen a gun shoot someone all by itself without a human behind it?

Well, not my father. Until, he had a neighbor of ours threaten him over a silly dispute. My dad borrowed a gun from my grandfather. Obusively, the guy didn't know who he was fucking with!

All it takes is one mentally unstable person in the household to use the guns against a loved one or other innocent. How many people are on meds for various mental health issues....thousands, hundred thousands? We live in such an over prescribed society, drugs for anxiety, stress, depression, etc. These drugs have serious side effects and unknown long term effects. Not worth the risk of keeping high powered firearms in one's home. There's been too many mass shootings involving mentally unstable individuals. The most recent on in Conn. is just too much, enough already!!

Good thing your grandfather had some sense.

Hey, Germany! My father was from Ohio but had 100% German ancestry. Spoke German in their home. From Hesse/Darmstadt.

You forgot to mention that if your dad didn't have a gun during his tour in the Pacific...he probably wouldn't have made it home!

Well, that's why he didn't want one in the home. Are you stupid?

Stupid? Stupid would be trying to survive a hostile situation without a gun!

you think you're going to be able to *wish and hope* an attack away? You think just because you're unarmed your not going to be attacked? Your dad *made it home* BECAUSE he had a gun!

Yes, you are right. He went through the war in the Soloman islands, New Guinea, the Phillipines, without a gun. He directed his men in Manila to kill them with their xray eyes!

No...I was talking about you and your disdain for guns - for example, you are startled awake at 2am cause someone kicks open your front door, and you...what? Pull the covers over your head and *hope* cause you hate guns?

Oh, hell no! My dog told me where the knife was! I stabbed that motherfucker! Yeah!

I have 6 Combat Tours under my belt.

I have a weapon within arms length, every room in my house

My Grandfathers were Scots,wearing kilts to the WW1 trenches.
One got retired out of the trenches by shrapnel and the other by chlorine gas.
They made it home and had 24 children between them, as best as I can count.
My uncle B was a Brit Paratrooper around D-Day and got a French Medal of honor (Croix de something or whatever ) for whacking 13 Nazi's in a farmhouse who were holding a French family hostage, I do not know how he did that, he never said, but he was a bad ass, you would not even think about messing with that man, and he had a NICE NORTON 850.
My Dad was In Palestine, shot twice by, he did not know who,
Jews and Paleinsteinians?
What thanks do you get for that, whiteboy ? Jack shit? Pissed on?

also "stupid" is acknowledging that a loved one "made it home" because they handled a gun...and then wanting to deny everyone else the same opportunity for self protection

It is a different age nowe. When he came back, he just wanted to get on with his life. He fought hard! As a child of his looking back, I can see how it affected him. He was a work-a-holic. Plus, had combative dreams!he was a strong man!

Yes...it is a different age now...far more dangerous nowadays!

Ohhk and where does that get you? So? What?

You are right, we need to get rid of the mentally unstable.
Like Liberals,perhaps?

By the way,people. I have directed this post about the mom that had all of those weapons in her house. Why?

Maybe we should also outlaw automobiles...you have any idea how many people kill other people with cars?

btw...some of those cars were taken from a family memeber *without permission* - yeah...canx all the cars too!

So what? your name would be Fritz! or if they thought you looked funny you would have been drowned at birth you idiot thing excuse for a human, have you ever read a book ?
1 single book ?
Try 'All Quiet on the Western front'.

Yes, and we need to outlaw ham as it is pork and Christ said we shouldn't eat an animal from a cloved foot!

we should all start killing our neighbors over silly arguments. FFS

Ok...I'm out!

Agree / disagree...I wish peace to all!
