I thought the same thing. Our son takes firearms safety and archery because he enjoys those things and we have guns in the house and he wants to learn to bow hunt. Archery is even in his school that he goes too and it is starting to be a sport that is on the rise!

  Even a bow and arrow will kill someone.  How about the man who shot his wife with a bow and arrow to the heart.  The arrow with a four blade hunting head on it and said it was an accident.     The bow and arrow was the main killing weapon until guns and gun powder replaced it.

I never said that a bow couldn't or wouldn't kill someone. You don't hear about those type of accidents as much as you do about guns. Most people know that the bow and arrow was replaced by guns and gun powder, that is kind of a given.

  I don't know if you will say this a given, but I'll bet that bare hands and fists kill more people that guns.  There are so many people who want to take all of the guns so only the police and the military will have them.     When this happens you need to  put your right leg over your right shoulder and your left leg over your left shoulder and kiss your ass goodbye.   

  Then you won't have anything to protect  yourself from people with their bare hands, knifes, clubs and the people who will build their own guns.

How true, how true. 


A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Louisiana when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'

The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days!
