Speaking of "death machines around the house", I wonder if our anti-gun nut
is aware of the number of people who are electrocuted each year with
toasters, hair dryers which fall into sinks, and electric heaters which
start fires inside people's homes?  Also, more than a few people die each
year (or are badly maimed) by chef's knives, steak knives, and even (on
occasion) forks.

"We" decided we want to keep THOSE "death machines" around the house
too......
