DaButt, why do you personally feel the need to own a gun? I'm curious.

Many reasons. To name a few: Guns are fun. I like to target shoot. I'd like to have some protection at hand in certain circumstances. I agree with our founders that bearing arms is a citizen's right. I don't like to be outgunned by criminals.

Now I know you're just trying to aggrivate me.

Do you find them outgunning you on a regular basis?

Are you stroking a gun as you type?

Dear oh dear.

Yes, at the moment I am outgunned by all armed criminals. And yes, I have been in a situation where a handgun kept me from losing my property and potentially my life.

As I've said, I have never owned a gun in my 45 years on this planet. But that will soon change.

America's a violent shithole, isn't it?

You're really quite angry about Obama winning, aren't you?

Yes, the democrats were going to win as long as they put up anyone half credible.

Not at all. As many Englishmen have observed, they feel safer here than in their own country. But the inner cities, slums and drug/gang-ridden areas are dangerous. And I was in one of those areas in Los Angeles (Rolling Stones concert in 1989) when a man tried to force his way into my car and was turned back by my friend with a gun. I had no idea he was (legally) armed, but he may have saved my life.

Not at all. I was only marginally in favor of McCain. I would have voted for Obama but I saw no substance behind the aura.

Exit polls show that more than 95% of African-Americans voted for Obama. 55% of whites voted for McCain. Race played a huge role in Obama's victory.
Thank Dawkins he won it.
Let's celebrate with an appropriately themed song:

Except, wait, they're brown. Woah.
That's just needlessly rude.
If it offends you sooty, then I know I've done good.
No Aaron it informs me.
Well he didn't claim to bum Andrew Sachs or advocate knifing prostitutes.
So we should be ok.
