Good point. Speaking of which, how many posts do you need to not be 'junior' member? .

A hundred.

A hundred.

Hrmm. Junior isn't such a bad thing....

Bird can't be out-argued. Common sense and facts mean nothing to him. He can go on like this for months. Fortunately he doesn't live in our country. Therefore he is a non-factor. Inconsequential. He doesn't matter.

It seems I've pissed off the conservative right wing to the point where I'm a persona non grata of this forum.

You should just block me or don't respond to my posts.

Good thing all this back and forth drivel is posted in the "off topic" section.

Bird man not to worry. I have unloaded my gun and putting it back in the holster right now.
Have a good day !
Got to get back to Trailer Park Boys and F6B riding.

Enjoy a spirited discussion. Just stick to your guns (figurativly) and we will stick to ours (literaly).

Nah. You, your foreign opinions and your cocky attitude are welcome at my house for a meal and/or a beer any time. My table is open to all comers, and we have had some real doozies around it. If you find yourself headed to the Houston area just give me a day or two heads up. It's doubtful anyone here seriously spites you your personal history and your general take on things. Even more doubtful that you have really pissed anyone off. Everyone who signed up for this forum got to the point where we could sit at a keyboard and opine like this through hard work and sacrifice. More in common than not.

[bigbird]

your cocky attitude

WTF?
Anyway, thanks for the stamp of tolerance. I'll jump on my F6B right now. Be in Houston in 3 days. My only protection will be a bad case of B.O.

Ok Bigbird. I hear you. My bad. Good day.

Sorry, but again you guys compare a handgun death to being just one of life's excusable tragedies..
You cannot compare a 3 year old shooting a 1 year old to a car crash, drowning, or falling down stairs.
There is no place in a home for a handgun that isn't locked up and empty of ammunition.

More difficult concepts for you...

There is no place in a home for a pool that isn't drained and empty of water.

There is no place in a home for a pool that isn't fenced and locked up.

There is no place in a home for rodent poison that isn't locked up and out of reach of children

There is no place in a home for household chemicals that aren't locked up and out of reach of children

There is no place in a home for a staircase that isn't blocked with a child gate

There is no place in a home for an unsupervised child

And a handgun death is not an accident.

Sure it is, unless the three year old did it on purpose.

A toddler picking up and discharging a handgun is no accident. It's entirely foreseeable and preventable.

Yup... without proper supervision:

A toddler falling down the stairs is no accident. It's entirely foreseeable and preventable

A toddler falling out a window is no accident. It's entirely foreseeable and preventable

A toddler stepping in front of a moving car is no accident. It's entirely foreseeable and preventable

A toddler drinking a household chemical is no accident. It's entirely foreseeable and preventable

and yet- these things happen to chidren far more often.

I can do this all day..
