Geeze.... another gun-o-phobic.

Come on, Gene. You have to sympathize a little. You know guns are dangerous.
Why, just this evening, I came home from the range, took the magazine out of
my pistol, placed the two objects on the table, and went to wash up. When I
came back to the table, the gun had moved 6" closer to the magazine. It was
preparing to reload itself and cause an accident. I considered unlocking
another gun to shoot the first one with, but I figured that if the accident
happened just as I returned to the table, I would be be found with two guns
and labeled a gunman with an arsenal. Worse, I live alone, which would lead
neighbors to tell the press that "He lived alone, except for the 3 days a
week when his son came over with his skateboarder friends, and you know
about THAT kind of kid". Then, after they'd carted me off to the hospital
(after being shot by gun #1, which just "went off by itself"), the police
would find the supermarket receipt on the table, showing that I'd just
bought 4 boxes of baking soda, a gallon of vinegar and some houseplant
fertilizer. Everyone knows you can make foamy little volcano bombs with
baking soda and vinegar, so I'm obviously a terrorist. Not sure about the
Miracle-Gro, though.

Amazing to think that this whole thing would be caused by a gun which loaded
itself and "went off", even after this particular model passed a rigorous
drop test designed for new firearms by the state of Massachusetts.
