    Wow, if only like 1% of the population is proficient with 9mm, what infintessimalistic fractionalism of us are proficient with .45? Does that make me a minority? Can I get a tax break based on that?????

    Military guns too accessible to public

    I'd never seen that .50caliberterror website before == how'd they get that plane to hang in space like that?!?!? Wow, if I could just figure out how to get squirrels, deer & ducks to do that on command, I'd be the HUNTERKING!!! Does this mean terrorists have discovered some kind of...
