In Taiwan, guns are illegal except for the military, and the crime rate is the lowest of anywhere i've ever seen, including pseudo-police-state beijing.

That is all.

Yeah, but missing persons is high. Must be a high flying saucer visit area, picking up people that irritate the government.

Spexx, Maggie made a statement of fact, illustrating why longarms are not used for home defense.

Something about the statement made me think it was funny that bullets would pass out the immediate theater of conflict and do unknown damage elsewhere. Why would I think it's funny? Oh teah - must've been the smilie.

He's just bitter because he got reamed (ha ha) by some people earlier for making a rape joke.

Not bitter. I just have a personal rule that when someone in a glass house throws stones, they need to have stones thrown back at them.

He's not the one that got reamed, in fact no one did. Also, Spex was really nice about sorting the issue out. I'm sure he wouldn't be bitter about it...would you Spex?

Spexx, we already know you're an unreconstructable hoplophobe, and we think it's awful of you. Why oh why are you adding being tedious about it to your catalogue of pro-genocide, pro-crime sins?! Just to get puked on one more time? Are you a masochist, sir, or merely irrational and shameless?
