Guns have only been around for a few hundred years. There was beer even before there was an Abraham and a Sarah. And Noah got drunk on something before his daughters had sex with him.

Originally Posted By ecdc >>Guns have been used to defend nations,even our own country owes it's beginnings to guns. that's just simple<< Wow. Forget that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Conservatives apparently think it all started around 1775. No wonder they talk about "traditional" marriage that's completely foreign to any anthropologist. Also, I for one am startled to learn that there were never any rebellions, uprisings, usurpations, coups, or other attacks on established government prior to the American revolution. American History 101 w/ Donny teaches us that everyone was just waiting around for guns in order to be free.

But over the years, the insecure, small membered rednecks have managed to convince other similarly afflicted rednecks that it should not only be muskets, but Glocks, .44 Magnums, rifles, AK-47's, etc., because the pencil d!cks still think the British are going to invade. When not worried about Redcoats at the screen door, they take their automatic weapons for a fair fight out to the hills, when they shred a poor defenseless deer or blow a freaking goose to smithereens, all in the name of "sport". And lately, because their position is indefensible, they keep bringing up the strawman of "what about alcohol", because they're too afraid to be exposed for what they are, Smith and Wesson wussies. It's no defense at all, completely unrelated to the gun issue, and frankly, disgusting shameful that booze is what they bring up when trying to excuse the killing of 20 five year old children. A collective f you and up yours to all of them.
