skinsfan44 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: One thing you have to keep in mine is, that NPR is a left-wing propaganda machine. I bet you that this is true, and NPR is saying it is not, because of how the interview turned out. Notice how the interviewer is bashing everything about kids being tought about guns and gun safety. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Doesn't sound true to me. Those questions seem a little too much like a set-up for that last response (which was a beauty, by the way!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I have no problems with background checks, but those who portrait guns like the woman in the interview are idiots. I own 5 guns. My wife and I go shooting all the time and we are both very aware of the dangers and responsibilites that go with owning a gun. For as long as I've owned my guns, I've never killed anyone. Kids should learn the responsibilites of guns... they would be LESS likely to hurt themselves or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
