The Good Old U.S. Of A still Lives

A firearm is a tool…

By that logic all joiners should be proudly displaying their Black & Deckers when they go out at night. Yes, at the most basic and/or academic level you can argue that a firearm is a tool, but to the crowd in your original link I think it means an awful lot more than that.

As for chefs, the best ones do tend to err on the corpulent. :eagerness:

All good points,but you would think the gun nuts would try and keep in good shape to go with their macho image no? Surely this is a mind and body lifestyle for them, getting to play the role of outlaw types that get to sit in a restaurant with a gun down at their hip having fought for this ‘freedom’?

A firearm is a tool, as are cooking utensils, therefore; you are saying all chefs should be fat as a hog due to a mind and body relationship, fascinating!

When ever I see a picture of a chef now I will automatically think of a certain person in a Monte Python skit.

You have clearly entirely misunderstood why so many keep and carry guns. But you are in common with a majority in the UK and a majority of members here. But that’s it otherwise we will reopen “the other thread”!!!:(

I’m always amused by the number of gun advocates who are clearly overweight and unhealthy…

I think that is a criticism that can be levelled at most ‘average’ citizens in the developed world but particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom.

I’m guessing that you are not (yet) overweight yourself but have you ever wandered out of your own ‘sphere’ and suddenly found yourself surrounded by people who are almost all obese with an unhealthy sprinkling of morbidly obese as well?

I’m always amused by the number of gun advocates who are clearly overweight and unhealthy (ignoring the obvious low IQ, distinct lack of intellectual curiosity and paucity of emotional intelligence as these are, after all, low hanging fruit when talking about the US gun crowd). I’m not convinced these fine upstanding citizens will be the quickest to draw their weapons in a shootout when they have 70% body fat.

This video shows that most tired of tropes; Americans advocating personal freedom by sticking staunchly to collectivist principles. Freedom apparently means having ‘operation Rambo’ simmering in the back of your mind at all times incase some ‘hood rat’ decides to invade your hardboard bungalow. Yippee ki yay!

Higher calibre of customer no doubt.

Can’t shoot the waitress if your order is late or wrong – wonder if they get ammo for their tips….

Well, it made me smile. But does anybody else find it strange how often these good folk justify the ‘normality’ of carrying firearms through an expression of fear?
