Why do you constantly insist I am saying you should own a pit or assault rifle
for protection? You're a smart man... comprehend.

Again, the original statement was about YOU protecting your family in times of
need. aHow about we out it in a way you'll understand.  If you and your
wife/daughter was walking down the street and were approached by some sinister
person who wanted to rob you and molest your wife.  Would you just sit back and
say ok.. or would you do what most men would do and protect? No pit... no
assault rifle.. what would YOU do.

So you think this is brain clutter?  Actually, with the way been dodging the
obvious... it is brain clutter.  I'll not answer or discuss this as you just
taken some bureaucrat's word.  Shame...

Happy Summer Solstace.... :)
