Early warning signs of workplace violence

That has conjured up a horrible image..... SAS with his todger shoved up a shotgun barrel..... Arghhhhh!

Eww.

[Drewster]

I would have thought that an infertile weakling would find guns all the more attractive

I used to know a guy who owned a handgun before they were banned, if I had to profile him I would say he wasn't the sort of person who should be allowed anywhere near such a weapon.

He had a ceramic glock with a laser site, why would anyone need a gun that can't be detected by metal detectors just for target practice at the local shooting club?

That reminds me of the guy who went through Bristol airport recently. They took his toothpaste off him because it wasn't in a reasealable plastic bag, but didn't complain about the shotgun cartridges in his pocket....

Not if you have no bullets or are firing blanks

I don't think that a fascination with guns is strange - if you have a gun you have power - and power is attractive especially to the weak who are otherwise powerless.

Because it's cool?

problem. The only people I want having guns are the armed forces and the farming community, certainly not some delusional wink-stain who believes that he's James Bond on the weekend. Tw@.

Well thats an entirely different issue. The point I was making is not that it's right or wrong to allow gun entusiasts to own guns but the fact that at a basic level they are no different to any other kind of enthusiast.

According to the course I am doing "a strange fascination for guns" is considered an early warning sign for workplace violence and therefore not tolerated.

Guns for show, Knives for a Pro

For the same reason some people need customised cars that can do twice the speed limit and accelerate so hard it rips you're face off. Or why some people put water cooling and fancy lighting in their PC's when all the do is surf and play solitare.

It's a geek thing. Car Geek, Computer Geek, Gun Geek. Variations on the same theme.

Appalling.

Surely violence to animals is a more reliable sign?

So now you can't even bring with you your beloved AK-47. What's next? No pictures of your children at your desk???

Why? Are your children homicidal maniacs?
What is the connection between "guns" and "your children".... have I missed some subtle joke?? If so please explain (preferably without the use of shouting and pointing your kids at me!)
