Please Learn Proper Punctuation....

Actually, it would be the person operating the gun who did the killing, the same one who was reacting to the words, a rather distinct component in the causal chain.

Take away the words, and the gun still kills.
Take away the gun, and the words will not kill.

Really? Have you ever heard the expression that guns don't kill people, people kill people. Anything can be a weapon in the right hands, or hands themselves can be weapons. Say the wrong thing to one skilled in MMA, you will have a deadly result without a gun. Is it more effective to remove the issue of ONE of those weapons, or try to positively impact (or not negatively impact) those who would employ the countless weapons that might be available?

So, that's it? We're done talking about punctuation, grammar, and stuff?

That was quick.

Shucks.

Occasionally drifitng off topic is a sign of a healthy forum. We can return to this at a later date
 
Its hard to fault little kids who say aminals because it just so darn cute.

But if you dont tell them they are wrong you willl.....
have what we have today: a bunch of sissies.

Wait, I might do a complete 360° of my opinion on that...

EDIT: How do you know if your intended sarcasm is not mistaken for additional ignorance and stupidity?
I dont need to be credited with more; I've enough and then some.

No, words don't kill. Only weapons kill.

To be perfectly correct weapons do not kill. It it people and some animals that kill. A weapon has no ability to kill on its own initiative, however killing is by intentional or accidental actions of a living being. In all my years in combat and police service I've yet to witness a weapon leap up from a resting position on a table for instance, and kill someone all by itself.

Just sayin' as the young folks say these days. :celebrate2:

Oh, oh, oh...I just thought of another pet-peave - pluralizing compound nouns, such as attorney general, brother-in-law, and similar words.

The plural of "attorney general" is "attorneys general." The plural is not "attorney generals."

The plural of "brother-in-law" is "brothers-in-law." The plural is not "brother-in-laws."

I don't know about ya'll, but I'm finding this to be very therapeutic!

"Compound nouns" are they nouns that have been sentenced to jail? I know that pronouns are nouns that get paid to be in a sentence.
 
Seriously? We are supposed to be serious??!?!?! Well shut the front the door ----slap my gramma and call her Waldo--- Piss on the Fire and call the dawgs boy---- this party is dang blame OVER if we gots to be "serious"

So legislate against the existence of people - that will fix the problem as you choose to identify it.
