PS: You Smell

Li: Re: "Li debating very seriously whether she should just lie down and be a 'speed bump' so Senior Leprechaun and myself can flee south from the zombie horde."

Are you actually asserting that the possibility of a zombie invasion is a legit argument in favor of loose gun regulation? And that, by extension, I deserve to be zombie food because I disagree?

So naturally, I can assume that you sleep with a sharpened wooden stake under your pillow in the advent of a vampire attack, and that you have invested in a clip of sliver bullets to guard against werewolves, and that you have a well-oiled torch and a zippo lighter at the ready to fend off Frankenstein's monster. Because if you don't, you're asking for it.

Of course, even in the event you have thought that far ahead, I know that you're not prepared for an alien invasion, since you don't use Mac, which ID4 taught us is the only operating system compatible with extraterrestrial computer systems.

So I guess you're doomed to alien anal probes. You should have been better prepared.

E: AHEM, you have said on more than one drunken night that if zombies actually invaded you'd just lay down and accept your fate. As far as the argument of looser gun control? Fuck no. Gun control works as much as anything else. Criminals will always break the law, and Hillary is an idiot. Nowhere in there do I claim that the threat of zombies should loosen gun control laws.

However, our founding fathers gave us the right to bare arms and god damnit, I'mma get me some grizzly fuckin' arms or an AK, and considering I'd look mighty silly with bear arms, I'm just going to go for the rifle instead.

Also, zombies are a joke. Russia is not.

Scoot: Russia and China are just bidding their time waiting for the U.S. to burn out. Well, Russia is bidding their time. China is soaking up as much infrastructure as they can in the process.

E: Nevermind that Russia is supplying Iran with nuclear technology as well as weapons. Iran has made it very clear that they intend to pursue hostilities with both Israel. If they do this, Pakistan will follow. Israel is a US territory as far as the UN is concerned. America will come to Israel's aid as will Canada and most of the European union. When this happens, Russian will declare war on us, and likely North Korea will follow.

Sure, it's all ifs and buts, but I'd like to know that I'm well armed and protected of my own accord and not waiting for some military to come to my aid.

Took FEMA five fucking days to get water to New Orleans. How long will it take the governemnt to get me out of my apartment turned Russian barracks?

AF: At which point Russia and China each are going to try and burn the other out; China might just win because of sheer numbers.
Then Joss would be hailed as a mighty prophet and we'll all have to learn Chinese.

Li: First of all, the second amendment says nothing about private individuals owning firearms. It DOES say that a militia is a necessary element of a democracy, and that citizens should have the right to have an armed militia. And this is the interpretation affirmed by the Supreme Court. Read it again.

Secondly, I did NOT say I would lie down and get eaten. What I DID say was that I would probably wind up getting eaten anyway, because that's just the sort of shitty luck I'd have. Owning a shotgun wouldn't do me a lick of good, because I don't know how to use one, because I don't need to use one, because zombies are not going to invade.

And neither is Russia. What whacko neocon conspiracy blog have you been READING?

E: THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, SO EITHER YOU VOTE DOWN HILLARY OR YOU LEARN TO SPEAK COMMIE!

E: On a more serious and less hypothetical avenue of discussion, who's to say that I am not a part of my own militia? Even more so, how does one make a militia of the common man when the common man cannot arm himself?

As for the argument of never having to use it: So? People go into Bed Bath and Beyond and buy tons of shit they never use, why is it different than me owning a rifle? And what if I want to go hunting? I'd like to, at some point in my life, hunt a grizzly bear for the shit of it and eat it and make a nice giant fucking blanket or rug for myself.

Anyway, ridiculousness over.

Li: (Rebuttal:

1. Grizzly bears are a protected species and can't be hunted. That's our Nazi government for you.

2. Someone may never use their Bed Bath and Beyond electric foot washer, but to the best of my knowledge, electric foot washers are not a leading cause of death in this country.

3. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass if YOU have a gun. I doubt you'd shoot me. However, there are a lot of people I DON'T want to have a gun under any circumstances. That doesn't mean I deserve to get eaten by zombie.

4. *pout*

End rebuttal)

E: < head >< HTML >< REBUTTAL TO REBUTTAL >

1. Fine. I'll tame one and ride him into battle.
2. Guns are not the leading cause of death in this country, cigarettes, McDonalds and stupidity are.
3. I'd never shoot you, and the people who I'd rather not have guns will have guns regardless of what the law says.
4. NO POUTING EVER IT'S ILLEGAL I DECLARE IT!!
5. I'd like to see stricter gun laws without the PROHIBITION of firearms beyond what it's already at. If I can still own a semi-automatic rifle or less, I'm fine. I can understand the current laws but even I think it's retarded that if you go through a gunshow you don't need a backround check or sometimes even paperwork. That's bullshit.

PPS. Zombie.. RUSSIANS. Yeah. Let that simmer for a minute.

E: I realize I forgot the first PS. Imagine it said "You smell."
