If you were responsible gun owners, you would be the loudest voices demanding that your hobby Scrivener7 Apr 2022 #23

And if you cared about the issue, you'd be taking extraordinary action yourself. Kaleva Apr 2022 #27

Good lord! Are you still trying to get people to join you in your hunger strike?? Scrivener7 Apr 2022 #32

It is your right to not care much about about this issue. Kaleva Apr 2022 #39

As it is your right to troll people who have lost a loved one due to this issue. Scrivener7 Apr 2022 #41

I'm just telling you scientific facts Kaleva Apr 2022 #47

For what reason? Kaleva Apr 2022 #61

No, that's not what you were doing. You were telling someone that he should sign up to fight Scrivener7 Apr 2022 #62

Question - the OP needs a link too, right? It is pure opinion. JanMichael Apr 2022 #37

So there's no source for your statement? Scrivener7 Apr 2022 #38

Why yes there is. JanMichael Apr 2022 #40

I don't see that chart in any of the 4 pages of the source you link. I DO, however, see Scrivener7 Apr 2022 #42
