This day in active shooter history.....

So, I'm ALWAYS a dick?

And ardent gunners are not likely to join a well-regulated militia anyway. Their toys are more important to them than the security of the free state.

But your badassedness will protect us all with a Kbar knife, right?

I don't own such a  knife.  I do have some wicked sharp chef's knives AND one of  those huge old meat cleavers butchers once used. But what makes you think I'd rush to protect others?  That's why we have police.---in Australia, ordinary criminals, even armed robbers, don't usually have guns.... Here, there is no reason for an ordinary urbanite  to own a firearm. There is some justification for farmers to own a  rifle to kill foxes, 'roos, and other pests.. 

Nor do I have any enemies of which I'm aware. I lack the paranoia to believe some armed criminal is coming to rob me of--exactly what? I have nothing worth stealing, and no money in the house. The house is as secure as I can make it--and I have taken police advice on security--I just rang my local cop shop and asked. They were very pleasant to me.


The ordinary ,untrained , gun owner is more likely to shoot himself or a loved one than a criminal. AND of course, there is a serious risk of the accidental shooting of loved ones, especially children who get at the gun.

But hey, I live in Australia, where gun related crime isn't an issue.

 I really could not care less about the loopy gun culture in the  US.  The continuing mass  shooting are very sad, but utterly predictable.
I still think the NRA are bunch of cynical dickheads concerned with personal power. They don't give a rat's arse about  the ordinary US citizens
