Uh.....yeah. A bad thing, to say the least.

[Thoughts for Darryl]

Good luck and Godspeed Darryl. You will be in the thoughts and prayers of many. I wish you the best.

I guess I should involve music in the thread somehow.

-Coheed & Cambria Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow)

Great song. Talks about guns.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

gun crime has become a bit more of a problem in recent times

Go figure.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

Recognising that power (rather than money per se) is the most respected currency in modern society, it is perhaps unsurprising that those who have historically suffered (poverty, disenfranchisement, discrimination, physical mistreatment, etc) in an unjust society, seek to empower themselves, (at least in an illusory manner), by acquiring guns and threatening to avenge their oppression.

So, what you're saying is...those of us us who own guns...were poor, discriminated against, beat up, and/or deprived...and on top of all that, feel oppressed? Unless I'm interpreting this wrong, I beg to differ. I own guns because I like guns. I own guns to hunt with. I own guns, because, well, like MarcM said, I can. I happen to condone carry laws. It sends a message to the criminals that carry weapons illegally, that the average, law abiding citizen, can finally level the playing field.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Megan knows where to go, because she's from there, but now, I can say "Hey, let's go to Angelic Brew Pub" when we're at a loss for things to do.

[What character would you play?]

Tom Hanks in "saving Private Ryan".

I'd probably play a good "RainMan" too.

[Relationship Deal Breakers: Music]

Anything Brittney Spears-ish, emo, and maybe techno.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

How about anything that makes it easy to kill people should be destroyed? that would include bombs and missiles too.

Yeah, and automobiles, and butter knives, and golf clubs, and the occassional baseball bat.

The new avatar says it all.

[Are we on the Brink?]

Maynard James Keenan was shot by a lunatic?

[As long as we are talking about things other than music...]

Where did you get your facts? Chances are, the media. Exactly what MarcM is talking about.

Is this thread broken? It has been showing a new response for days.

[As long as we are talking about things other than music...]

I think the "World Opinion Headquartes" is in France.

[Favorite SNL music moments.]

Connery/Hammond- Anal OG's for 100 Alex.

Trebek/Ferrell- Uh, that's analogies. I quit.

Side spliitng funny. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

[Wedding songs]

Sorry, I was in a hurry when I made this post, and I didn't check the archives.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

Just a little ejumucashun

Where the law abiding folk go to keep themselves updated on new and revised laws. Definitely worth a look IMO.

[Howdy, I'm goin' to college]

Have fun at school man. Make the most of it, both in and out of the classroom. You'll be glad you did. Take care and keep us posted. And don't do drugs.

[Are we on the Brink?]

I wonder what the airlines are going to do with all their international semen samples........

[Wedding songs]

Thanks for the list Ryansgirl. And hey, don't worry. I'm sure Ryan will take the plunge eventually.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

Great post CeeCee.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

Marc, if my memory serves me correctly, Valencia in in CA, right? I want to join the Madison, WI PD, and I know laws and departments varies state to state, but I would really like to PM you with some general law enforcement questions that I have. Let me know if thats cool with you. Thanks.

[Wedding songs]

Ok, I need you guys' help. Of course you all know I'm getting married next year. Megan and I have the equivalent of writers block when it comes to what songs to be played are a must at the wedding, and "our" song, is, of course, listed as one of the most popular (or overplayed) songs in history. (Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight") I need your HELP!

Thanks by the way.

P.S.- By the way, don't be afraid to mention some more "modern", one hit wonder type stuff, possibly evem R&B.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

My only answer for that is that the majority has a false sense of security, and the "It won't happen to me" attitude.

[What are your views on gun ownership?]

MarcM, you just saved me a ton of typing. Thank you.

I own handguns, rifles and shotguns. I have over 30 total. Why do I own so many? Because I like them and I can.

Exactly Marc. That is my primary reason for owning the firearms that I do. Although I don't own quite that many.

As far as carrying a gun everywhere I go, I do not, even though I could.

This is where you and I differ. I feel the need to carry at all time, with the few exceptions outlined in the CC permit rules. I cannot escape the possibility of getting "jacked", pretty much anywhere in this town. If I was at home in Ohio, I would be the same way as you are.

And criminals will always find ways to get a hold of guns.

This has been a point I have been trying to make ever since they took guns away from the citizens in Britan and Australia.

MarcM, thanks for your professional insight on the topic.

I don't want everyone @ SongFacts to think that I condone violence, because I don't. I don't want to shoot someone any more than the next guy. But I am trained enough to handle my firearms safely, effectivley, and with descretion. People, I'm not out there looking for a fight, but I am and will be prepared for one if need be. I guess thats all I'm getting at.
