I do not avoid women, I deny them my essence. 

A sure cure for leg cramps.

I'm waiting for the free Ginzu knives.

It slices, it dices!

Get a set of these scabbards for your Ninja or Katana, a sure way to "cut" thru that afternoon Tucson traffic.

I can't help but think what a 6 hour flight to Hawaii would end up like equipped with seat scabbards. Maybe bring your wakizashi...

Good advice, but I like guns. I like guns a lot.

[AzCal Retred]

I like firearms too. However, with the current avalanche of nutball mass shootings, it's likely that we'll see minimum age limits and mandatory CCW-like training combined with an MMPI psych evaluation and subsequent 5-year re-evaluations, like drivers licenses. The "laissez faire self-policing" strategy doesn't seem to be working. I'm getting tired of school & grocery-store shootouts because some idiot thought he'd "bin dun rong" or decided to personally enforce some random thoughts regarding skin color/political affiliation/religion/???. I'd like to see every Congressman be screened via the MMPI and the results openly published, that would be very interesting. Switzerland has high levels of gun ownership but low levels of gun-totin' crazy. Let's screen out some of the crazy up front and make public places somewhere you'd voluntarily want to spend some time. I'm OK with less total crazy.

i don't ordinarily talk about the Liberal Gun Club, but i've been a member for, i dunno, 15 or 20 years. https://theliberalgunclub.com/phpBB3/

There you are - you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to enjoy hunting & shooting. Guns are tools, not a lifestyle.

My opinion has always been, guns are good, people are bad.  I've always been concerned with balancing the freedom that I love, and somehow finding a way to keep bad people from having guns WITHOUT losing my freedoms. Its a conundrum.

How exactly does being required to have a drivers license impact your freedom? Is it a bad thing that folks that can't pass the DMV test are on the bus instead of wandering around blind, uninsured & untrained on the street behind 4,000 pounds of iron propelled by 300 HP?

Driving a car is a privilege, owning a gun is a right. Thats my take on the whole licence thing. I should not need a permission slip or licence to exercise a right.

Apparently, successful entrepreneurs such as Musk are capable to figure weather the candidate for the brake design is capable of such task even if the candidate doesn't have any school certificates.

The only issue is the totally incapable have higher needs in terms of income.

If everybody here was allowed to have a gun it would be gunfight at the OK Coral every Saturday night !

It is only a right in the US. Even then it is not unconditional otherwise there would be 5 year olds wandering about with RPGs.

Actually, the alley beside the corral. But we are lied to all our lives, right?

Don't get me started about the Tombstone incident being the result of gun control. Enforced by the "good guys" . There were no white hats in the old West.

But I digress...
