Can confirm, I was the beverage cart.

And we know this is true because....you’re a lawyer?
It’s a good thing the civilians in Israel didn’t have guns last week. Some of the Palestinians could have been hurt.
Phony “conversations” like this are stock-in-trade fantasies for activist hoplophobes. Seems a new version crops up every year or so, gets passed around to the usual presstitutes, and then sinks out of sight.
TTIWWP.
Well, of course increased access to guns means increased suicides by gun.
Duh. It’s likely to be quicker and easier than beating yourself to death with a stick.
That does not imply an increase in suicides, which I would suspect is driven by a complex group of other factors, not the least of which is that children are just not taught coping skills.
They are free to use "suicide by gun" in the statistics they employ in calling for more gun control - but then they should also be forced to accept "suicide by jumping out of windows" as a meaningful, legitimate reason to implement more window control.

I remember my youth. Boy Scouts, learning firearm safety from a WW2 combat veteran who landed in an amphibious assault of Pacific enemy held islands. Yes, I remember reading Boy's Life magazine and my dad and I going into the basement and building a 22 rifle bullet trap and target for an indoor shooting range that was outlined in that Scouting magazine article. Not only was I allowed and encouraged to go down to the basement to target shoot after I finished my school homework. I also kept a 22 rifle and ammo in my bedroom growing up. There were no trigger locks, no gun safes, etc. Oh course I had been taught firearm safety by someone who knew first hand that firearms can kill.
So the liberal pointed out to Rick that in most homes with firearms, not all of the firearms are locked up. When I grew up there were no trigger locks or gun safes, there was personal responsibility, a sense of right and wrong along with a value of human life.
The do use suicide to pad their gun violence stats but rarely tell you or actually dont know its included in whatever propaganda theyre spewing…. Which is quite disingenuous…. Seeing as more than half of “gun deaths” come from suicide.
“And then he asked if I wanted to see his gun…”
