I have no idea what you mean by a "non gun thread"?

I foolishly assumed you were actually asking a question in good faith and that you were benevolently ignorant of the DC gun laws.

I should know better from a gun grabby type.

Always willing to forgive the rich and famous like Don Imus and Sean Hannity carrying guns, but firmly against the regular citizens doing the same. How very elitist of you.
