Do you have something against toys? I can't speak as to zombie attacks, as they don't seem to happen in my part of the world.

Y'know our belief in the right to defend oneself also makes us sympathetic to plucky little Israels right to exist. Do you really want to tell us we're fooling ourselves?

I'm a big fan of single-action revolvers myself.

I'm kinda disappointed that street sweeper shotguns are more or less illegal. I'd absolutely have one of those for home protection. If a burglar breaks into my house, they'd have to scrape them off the walls when it was over if I had my way.

It was one of my favorites to shoot. I could tell stories...

No i have nothing against toys but...how many people own the guns as toys and how many openly admit it?

If you can handle gun you should be able to handle some stupid not so nasty word.

LOL ouch.....up to you....you can open new thread addressing this issue.
Also read exactly what i wrote...about precedences in legislation which might be worth defending in the big picture.

It doubles as a mosquito deterrent. Have you ever tried hitting a mosquito with a pistol?

It has nothing to do with the word, or with me handling it. It has to do with Subsim's rules, which you can either follow or accept the consequenses.
