Why not just say, "We have guns"?

If you have both old and new guns, that pretty much encompasses everything.


It's like saying, "I like being inside and outside". This pretty much sums up everywhere doesn't it?
 
In before the lock.
What is this a plug for another website or a business? doesn't load up right for me.
 
You could at least let people lurk.

I'd lurk around and check things out and if I liked it, I'd register. But it doesn't look like I have that option so I guess I don't go back to your site. Bummer. It looked decent. Good luck with it.
 
This reminds me of the dinosaur comic in french where the dinosaur says "j'aime des choses et d'autres choses"

or, I like the things and the other things.

The question is, is it lockable?

All true. But isn't it equally true that he would not have posted unless he did have guns? So the word "have" is redundant, and the message could have been more efficiently phrased as "We guns."

But who else could he mean? So there's no need for the "We" either. All he had to say was "Guns."

Anyone who takes the proper perspective, though, and shrugs off all vestiges of a false consciousness, should immediately see that a message posted in a section entitled "General Gun Discussions" would be about guns. That word should be dropped too.

In fact the message would be most effective and efficient if it had no words at all. It is one of those communications in which the essential quality is its very intangibility, which is destroyed as soon as it is posted.

That's the most cogent paragraph I've ever read.Except if it had never been posted ,it would have had even more meaning.:)

I'm just wondering in what kind of room one might find these guns...
