(21,977 posts)Your last name is probably appropriate.
The "dire straits" you speak of have not happened "dozens of times," nor did I ever say they did, bofwad.
I simply told my experience. I'd tell the same story under oath in a court of law. There is no "arsenal of smi auto AR15 based military style weapons" anywhere in my home.
Your comment is yet another reason, along with the name-calling, why people of your persuasion have so little success in persuading rational people to accept your position. Reasonable and responsible gun owners are more than willing to discuss reasonable and rational gun control legislation. People like YOU make us tend to "pucker up" and say fuck it. You want to be part of the solution? Be rational and civil. Otherwise, you're part of the problem.
