Cue Kumbaya music drum playing in the background...

[Old Sarge]

And disarming the sheep continues.

I bet you can't make them promise not to catch and spread STD's....

[Secret Agent Man]

And when the pledge signing was over, hundreds of students celebrated by shooting off their guns into the air....

[Disturbin]

That’s odd — I consider firearms an important part of life, not pledging to keep them out of life.

[Disturbin]

“All over the city, hundreds of thousands of students were taking the “no gun” pledge, promising to keep firearms out of their lives.”

What was the response from the gangs?

[Borges]

What was the response from the gangs?

Noncommittal.

[Gay State Conservative]

When they’re 30,have a wife and two young daughters and learn that there’s a rapist on the loose in their neighborhood and that the cops don’t have the faintest idea of how they can catch him then these kids might understand that guns sometimes serve a useful purpose.

[mowowie]

Problem solved! If only libs completely ruled the world....sigh

[Disturbin]

Maybe they can introduce a “gun buyback program” as tried by Mumbles Menino, the May-uh of Boston. They offer cash for older firearms, which the gang members use to buy newer firearms.

And now, children, the daily brain washing goes on!

[irishtenor]

I pledge to not use a firearm on anyone who is not trying to steal, hurt, kill me, my family, or my possessions.

[Cagey]

LOL!!

[longhorn too]

I used my Ruger Blackhawk today loaded with shot shells to kill a 4 foot water moccasin near my pond.

[irishtenor]

Cool. How many shots?

[NRA2BFree]

And disarming the sheep continues.

Yep! Aren't you glad we're hawks? ;o)They can't deceive us, nor can they scare us. They will never get my guns. Not as long as I'm alive.

[longhorn too]

Only one, using shot shells is like shooting a miniature shot gun.

[irishtenor]

How far? Personally, the farther the better for me, if you know what I mean :>)

I don’t care for snakes.

[longhorn too]

I was on my tractor so I felt pretty safe, I was around 10 to 12 feet from the snake. I always take my Ruger when I bush-hog our land.
