    Don't you mean cartridges ?
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          • Can't make good bullets out of brass. They're made of lead and copper and sometimes steel. It's the case that's made out of brass.

I just don't understand what the **** gets into people's heads when they even think of things like this. How the hell can people put something like this ahead of the feelings of a bunch of parents whose kids were murdered just last year? Especially as there's no goddamn point to it! There isn't some huge movement to outlaw guns that requires gun owners to get out and protest. This is just utterly repulsive and foul.
              Utterly repulsive and foul describes at least half of the political right in America. Especially the loudest and most shrill faction of the political right (namely the tea baggers).

                This is a Dumb Post. How can feeeelings matter more than being allowed to say what you want? WHO DECIDES WHAT IS REPULSIVE?

                Your sheer stupidity here is just depressing.

                    +1. I'm pretty sure I could mail-order that bell from an ad in Parade magazine. It's between the ones for "rare" coins and Thomas Kinkade's Snowy Cabin Spittoon.

                      When I hear of bullies verbally abusing vulnerable kids to the point of suicide I give thanks for freedom of speech.
