Why guns? Do We Need them for Anything Besides Shooting Randomly into the Night's Sky on New Year's???

I just don't really see a huge need for guns being pretty much a passive man myself. I figure if someone comes in my house they probably got a gun and are less afraid to use it than i would ever be, so pretty much I'm a goner if a burglar gets in, unless its the Hamburglar, I think I could take that sissy. I'm just not a gun man. I remember when i was a kid my dad let me shoot his berretta peewee pistol. The thing looked like it was a cap gun but i shot it and it felt like the world had ended. I heard nothign, saw nothing, and in a complete daze whirled around and pointed teh gun at my dad and was like, "Here take it I don't like it." That was one of the last time's i fired a gun.
I like 22's there simple don't really do much damage but can be used for target shooting. A shotgun....OK i'll give its fun to shoot the skeet so i deem that one ok. But really do we need semi automatic rifles, pistols and bazookas? Is Cobra mounting an assualt on the US?? No are the British ever coming back for us?? No they gave up and moved on to better things like... British comedy... they failed at that too by the way. I mean guns are so 90s, I mean what are you going to do Snoop dawg go bust a cap? Thats stupid! And second ammendment rights... give me a break. They didn't have computers back then, now we can just simulate shooting if we need to go kill something. And if we want to protect our house call Brinks security up and let the pros handle it there Rambo. Either that or Lousiville Slugger makes a wonderful bat that when swung at the proper angle and velocity will crack almost any skull: the criminally insane, trespassers, robbers, gang members, white's, asians, blacks, greens... it doesn't discriminate. IT HITS HARD AND HURTS!! Regardless of creed, religion, ethnic group, or left handed or right.

The wife got asked to do a special project at work today. Her boss mistakenly told a client that they'd clean a house the day before the clients moved in without thinking about who would clean this house. It being noon on a friday and the people wanting to move in on saturday he was a little hard pressed to find someone, luckily wifey was more than willing to get out of the office for any reason especially to rake in some big bucks. SO she was exhausted so we stayed in and watched the Runaway Jury, thats where all this gun talk arose from. It was better than I expected, I mean that John Cussack he's so hot right now. It was pretty much an antigun lobby movie and if you hate the NRA, guns, or Charlton Heston movies then you'd love this movie. I liked it being somewhat of an anti-gunite myself. The movie was good it had Gene Hackman in his usual role, in fact he may have been the dad from the Tenenbaums reincarnated or something in this one. John Cussack was his suave nerdy self that makes us geeks have an Uber geek to look up to. The chick from the mummy was fine and Dustin Hoffman was the liberal lubricant greesing the wheel. But really the star of the movie has to be Jeremy Piven who in my mind is possibly one of the greatest actors of our generation. Check the link to see who i'm talking about.
I mean PCU just is one of my favorite movies. That was truly his best work but he does a good job of some support work in this one being the counterpart to Hackman though he lacks both the cunning drive and the money. Lets raise our glass to an unheralded actor--Jeremy Piven. . So the movie was good, liberal, but aren't we all in some corner of the bleeding heart?

Okay its the principle of the matter. And I don't care what you think 'cause if you disagree with me, I'll shoot you.
