You'll have to further differentiate between typical and dangerous and
gunnut (gunnut: can't find that word in the dictionary). Most gunnuts
(your term) are normal folks. Matter of fact they are generally the most
conscientious and safest owners of guns.

Maybe. But the gunnut that does not own any guns is miles safer, to himself
and his surroundings.
generalizing Having lots of gunnuts in a culture is indicative of a
culture where is is normal to solve conflicts by the use of guns. And that
is very dangerous don't you think? /generalizing

The correct link is: http://www.firequest.com/catalog/flares.html

Thanks! I was having trouble tracking it down.
It was a tough and hard job to click that faulty link yes.
Being so anti-weapon
How would you know?
it is interesting that you knew it and are willing to forward to along.

I may not agree to his or your opinions, but he has every right to speak
about them. I saw his own inability to place the correct link as and
obstruction to this right of free speech so I solved that for him.

Besides, if it saves one live because some gunnut chose to load this shell
instead one paked with lead, then that is a positive thing.

Seems to me that you would make every effort to supress the proliferation
of such things.

In my country it is already prohibited. The gun is, and the shells are. The
number of peole killed per capita is orders of magnitude lower than the
USA's. Indeed only criminals have guns, and they use them to kill other
criminals. There are gunnuts here too, but most can only get horny from
pictures of guns as they (luckily) don't have the real thing.

Personally I'd look for something that protects me while I am sleeping
etc. Not something I have to have within reach, as that can only increase
the uneasiness.

Are there other inanimate objects you are scared of?

yes: you.

You cannot feel safe if you have to have a weapon nearby
all the time,

I feel very safe with a weapon at close reach. Are you afraid that the
weapon is going to jump up and attack you?

If you feel safer in an area where you don't need that gun at close hand,
you were not feeling safe before. JAX usually is full of gas, but he summed
it up quite nicely.

and that defeats the whole purpose of sailing.

That's silly!

I pity you for your constant distrust and fear. But you don't have to defend
you position, nor will i defend mine on this subject. It is irrelevant in
this ng, and irrelevant because neither of us will convince eachother nor
anybody else. it is just a moot discussion.

I found i quite interesting to see that you completely disregarded the
non-offensive solution I proposed. But you cannot hold that one in your
hand so you probably are not interested in it
