Okay then, bow and arrows. What if guns were gone, and people started
killing using bow and arrows? You gonna ban them also? You don't need them

Okay... How? You disagree about this being the best country in the free
world, or that we are free, and that's what makes this the best country in
the free world?

Um... it is a gun store here. A gun store that sells other things. Glass
half empty, glass half full.

Big mistake not selling guns in a gun store! Get rid of all the clothes and
