Subject: RE: Would you take a life?What circumstance?
MMario, wha'd that guy DO to you anyway! You seem like such a sweet individual so it must have been Really Bad.

Fionn - I don't know this for sure cause I'm a blackpowder gal and don't care for automatic-type weapons - but I THINK the US stopped the importation of AK-47s some time ago. The ones that are still here can be bought and sold but there ain't no new ones coming in. At least I think that's right, but don't anyone take it for gospel because I could very well be wrong. And I know there are other countries who buy them.

I love my gun but there aren't too many crimes being committed with flintlocks these days. She was my daddy's so there's a lot of sentimental value there. I'm taking her to a shooting match in 2 weeks.

Chances are, if someone surprised me in my house, the Household Defense Weapon (which is NOT a blackpowder gun) would probably not be accessible to me, so I would have to resort to strategery instead. But I would definitely fight for my life if it were necessary. If someone wants to take it they're going to have to work awfully damn hard.

The TV, they can have. They already took it once, about 8 years ago. Good thing nobody was home at the time.
