    On the subject of evil and firearms

    I'm thoroughly convinced that there is such a thing as evil in the world. And we won't see the end to things like Newtown until we can sort out the causes. Firearms are machines. They aren't inherently any more evil than a circular saw. But they certainly can be used for evil purposes. But...

    Wolves!

    After seeing another member with an ID of Something Wolf, I did a member search. We've got 94 members whose names contain "wolf" and one "wolves." What makes 'em so popular among gunnies, anyway? - NF P.S. The popularity winner is probably Something Gun: 532 hits.

    When do the ground troops think we should pull out?

    Just wondering if there was any information on this coming from the blogosphere, personal acquaintance, etc. The major infotainment outlets are all beating the cut-and-run-yesterday drum, so maybe there are less biased sources out there. - NF
