Wal-Mart to bring back guns to hundreds of US stores

[AtW]

I remember a story where someone bought a CS canister from an ex-army supply shop and let it off in a bar/club.

Big deal - it's not like it is VX nerve gas.

It's one thing to ban CS gas and totally another (bonkers) to ban it whilst classifying it as a firearm.

If you don't like it here AtW, nobody forced you to come here and nobody is begging you to stay.

Buy a car, get a free gun

Also I remember Michael Moore said that there was a bank where you could open a new account and get a free rifle.

That's the US for you.

Yeah, I think that was Bowling for Columbine.

It also had a brief interview with the late Charlton Heston who famously said "they can prise my gun from my cold dead hand" or something like that.

Of course, the wealthy yank typically lives on some private gated suburban residence away from the scum, so what do they care if the slums have a gun crime problem.

There's a simple solution for those afraid of armed people: carry a gun for protection.

Well seeing how eugenics is off the drawing board they need to have some way to control the population.

The scary thing is that people do for just that reason. Great way to give the armed person a reason to shot their weapon. A bit like knives in Glasgow, perhaps.
