I forgot where I found it but I found that 1 in 4 Americans (including children) own at least one gun and gun owners on average own roughly 4 different guns.

-one at home
-one at work
-one at their house in the woods
-and one in the truck for bike deterrence

(the last part was made up by me)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

We have a lot of guns here in the U.S.. A lot. I don't have one.

The odds of me being shot with one are very slim. Very.

I was given a shotgun when I was 11 or so. My father taught me the proper use of it for hunting pheasants. I gave up hunting about 45 years ago. I am ok with other people hunting.

As to article 29, referenced above: "Article 29: Each person has responsibilities to the community and others as essential for a democratic society" I assume my NRA neighbor would agree entirely: Everyone should go out and buy a gun to fulfill his responsibility to the community. No I don't agree with him, but vaguely phrased idealistic statements will mean different things to different people. {And btw, the "Case Study" is of course piggy-backing. Article 29 was written during the Truman administration, the Case Study during the GWB administration. They really have nothing to do with each other.)

And to bring it all back to the OP: I don't get involved with road rage. Whether the other guy has a gun or not, I just think it's a really dumb idea.

Actually, a more important number than the number of guns is the number of bullets that fit into those guns. I have a 12-guage shotgun in my closet that I have had since I was a teenager, but I have no shotgun shells.

As a club, I would prefer a 1-iron.

Unless someone is in your closet observing it, it's probably not really there. But as soon as you go check on it, it will magically appear, right where you left it last.

You're obviously talking about the cat holding the gun....

And, of course, you will have to count this year in that total as well. :P But, hey, like the man said, anyone can have a bad century. :P

No, it's the other shooter.
