  2013 was a record breaking year for firearm purchases.

  2014 is supposed to be a record breaker for ammunition.. do you own a firearm?

  but i support that right for others---if they are qualified..

  Yes. I have rifles, a shotgun, revolvers and semi-automatic pistols.

  I like to shoot targets, especially those made of aromatic woods like cedar.

  I am an American by birth and a member of the NRA by choice because I believe that every person has a right to defend themselves. Our lives are our first "property."

  People who do not share this belief are also called victims and slaves.

  BandOnTheRun said, in part, "I pay the NYPD to be my firearm. I've always lived close to a precinct or near the donut/newspaper stores they frequent. They had better come protect me if I need help. It is a service I pay for with taxes."

  One of my Uncles was a Marine who was wounded on Iwo Jima and then after WWII became a career NYC cop. You should have a chat with some of your local NYC cops about what you expect from them. They will adjust your understanding.

  After you are murdered they will come and document the crime scene and make sure your corpse gets to the morgue. Then they will investigate your murder and, if a suspect is found, they will assist the state with the prosecution of the alledged perpetrators. Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

  I've done everything I can do to time-travel back to the 1800s so I could personally apologize to the injuns and everyone else who wasn't seated at Jah's great banquet-table.

  Neither I nor anyone else has been able to suceed at this, so I am like totally over apologizing for things that happened when I did not exist. But if it works for you, knock yourself out.

  i've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .

  I've been here for 13 years.

  This place serves as a place were I can say things that I sooner or later regret more or less.

  There have been some times when I feel I've done some good.

  Not many though.

  I going to take a moment to play "Devil's Advocate" and offer two things that are worse, I think.

  1. Since the dawn of homo sapiens, we have had the untdy habit of piling up our garbage in "middens" or dung-heaps.

  In the 21st century, we still do this! Lip-service has been paid to schemes for more efficiently recycling our waste - we put that little triangle logo on our plastic and then throw the plastic into our local dung-heaps and into the ocean. Mankind is like an infant covered in his own poop.

  2. Mankind enjoys his fish-and-chips just a bit too much. We are depleting the ocean's ability to regenerate.
