I am surprised that Scott has let you slide this long on this one.

What's a "Scott"?

Maybe cause you let me slide on something ealier. Naw, no chance!

I commend you for you charity work,

A couple of bucks a year to the guys selling poppies........big deal. How
did you know?

however the above do not represent
a community. Only a small fraction of a community, as there are
households without guns in possession, all are under hopefully the
protective umbrella of those police officer and military who do carry
firearms.

You really don't have any idea of what the word "community" means, do you?

Obviously the Tibetan Buddist in their isolation from the
rest of the real world, found that all military possession of firearms
is not benevolent, and certainly not something that can be separated
from in isolation. Same with orphanages and convents, they may not have
a firearm in their possession, but there is more than likely one in th
vicinity.

There is a star going supernova somewhere "in th vicinity". So?

I hate being a pragmatist sometimes,

I hate being a .,xdnmgster sometimes.

but I found that utopian ideology
left me feeling very vulnerable.

Don't look now, sparky, but you are.

Sorry about bursting your bubble. TnT

I'll get over it......or I won't.......got any shiny new nickels?
