Nah, I really was fishing for trolls. :)  However, you are right that the
reason for me writing that phrase was the irony of it all. As Rodney
pointed out, guns are meant to kill.  There is no other use.  I am not
advocating gun control either.  Just point out the obvious.

You're new, aren't you?  Of course I am from the North, damn straight.  In
fact, I am writing this post from the fucked-up state of Massachusetts. At
least here in the North we have open minded liberal girls (never, *ever*,
go out with a Southern bapist!) :)
