Non-threat


question:
Comment: .......or the very distinct possibility that with [MORE] guns, fewer people will [think about killing other people]?   just throwing out an alternative thought....trying to keep the pendulum arc from getting too big in one direction....on "balance".....
answer:
Threat


question:
Comment: It is precisely this kind of reporting that keeps me coming back to CB...pulling the blanket of secrecy off the worms in government that consider us as their personal serfs to pay up for their graft and corruption.  Hopefully, this kind of reportage will wake up some of the brain-challenged, name-recognition-only voters who keep these slime balls in office year after year, here and up the chain to the presidency.
answer:

Non-threat
