I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Offcourse giving every teaparty aproved citizen a gatling in his backyard would make the suburban city streets save again but what about the enviromental impact, did they invent green bullets and gunpowder already?
my guess is all weapons will be banned before 5 years, it just takes some more killings by paranoid crazies. Better start lobying against those pharmacompanies that are feeding you those mass murder pills if you wanna hang on to your secondamendments toys.
Oh, and I wouldn't have to put it in a van. I could bring it into any public building without any questions, find an out of the way place to leave it, and at a preset later time when I was far away...
Guns are easy, so the nutjobs use them and get caught or die. A bunch of people also get hurt or die. Make guns impossible to get and the criminally insane will either find a way to get them anyway or they will find a way to be much, much worse, with less chance of stopping them.
People who hate guns tend to be people who would only hurt other people in a fit of passion. These people cannot wrap their heads around the concept of taking time to learn how to, then build something for the sole purpose of hurting others. No matter how many times a new psychopath shows them that there is evil in the world, they cannot grasp the concept. It's like asking an antelope what bacon tastes like-- even though many of its herd have been eaten by predators, the antelope cannot comprehend the desire to eat another animal.
This has been way longer than I intended.
