Hey, doesn't the Bible say something about turning swords into plowshares?

Pastor:

Sure, but there's nothing in there about guns.

[Lairbo]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Then duck.

[Rick]

I don't know anything about guns, but.... a semi automatic assault weapon givaway to teenagers? Is that a real idea or is this a joke?

[pogo]

Rick - a "semi-auto assault weapon" is sort of an oxymoron. Assault rifles are full-auto - they keep firing as long as you hold the trigger down. Semi-auto fires one round and you have to squeeze the trigger again to fire again.

That being said, there's not much point in a teenager having one. They don't make good target or hunting rifles.

"Father Remington, here's the stack of collection plates. Now what do I do with them?"

"PULL!"

[crossgirl]

let he who is without sin shoot the first round.

[crossgirl]

fire the first round, i meant fire. duh. stupid girl.

[Margaritaville]

Are they also handing out black trench coats and explosives too?

[Steve Haller]

What would Jesus do?

[Wyo Cowboy]

most of the teens I know have several guns. HOWEVER, they've also been raised ranching and hunting. This upbringing gives one a realistic view of the realities of death. They understand guns, and their proper place in our lifestyle. Kids raised on video games and tv's have no business with anything bigger than a rubber band. With freedom comes responsibility. Anyone else remember when that was still true in America?

Oh yeah, it's a humor blog.

Blogit meeting in Wyoming, the pictures.

(the activities did include teachin' the kids to shoot a handgun, in which not a lot of blood was shed.)

Doesn't the Constitution have something about the separation of church and firearms?

[Noob]

Wyo, great pics.

Looks like Med and co. had a blast. Beautiful country up that way.

[judi]

beautiful country, but we definitely have different ideas of "a blast" ;) i got as far as the crawling-through-the-tiny-space picture and immediately hit the back button... no WAY on this earth.

[Siouxie]

judi, I agree. Gorgeous views and countryside but I am certainly NOT crawling around some dark cave for NOTHING and NOBODY!

When I go to Wyoming...I'm opting for the "City Gal" vacation package. Just get me to the nearest Hyatt ;-P

It does look like the Amblers are having a total blast though. Med can handle it...she's a tough cookie.

[Wyo Cowboy]

...of the cave Med says, "I'm glad I did it, but I don't ever have to do it again." She did it for the kids, who had a blast, journeying to "The Center of the Earth."

[Siouxie]

ok..and the makeshift terlet bucket?? ummm I don't think so.

I need flushing. And a hot shower.

[Siouxie]

And now that Med has done it...*I* don't have to do it. I like the "Surface of the Earth" more.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Sioux, how would you know, if you've not been there? Hmmmmmm?

well, I guess some things don't HAVE to be experienced, to be unappreciated.

[Meanie the Blue]

Superb photos, Wyo. Looks mighty enjoyable there. (Except for the low-flow).

[Siouxie]

awwwwwwwwwwww smooooooooch!! I MAY be tempted to camp out. MAYBE.

Off to rough it here in Miami traffic.

[Wyo Cowboy]

trust me, guys, low flow bucket turlets are far better than hangin' it over a log, in the dark, in the rain...

[Bruce Wayne]

(snort) never catch me in one of those caves -- who knows what might be in there?

[Steve Haller]

.. soon to become a major motion picture starring James Cromwell as Wyo ...

[Wyo Cowboy]

flattered, I'm sure, Steve, but don't they usually pick actors who are younger than the character they're gonna play? maybe??

[Steve Haller]

How about Sean Penn?

[Wyo Cowboy]

I'll stick with James C. Thanks anyway.

Do I get to pick who plays Mrs. Cowperson?

[Steve Haller]

(I was gonna say Johnny Depp, but DAY-AM he creeped me out in Sweeney Todd ...)

Be VERY careful who you pick for the Missus -- way too young or way too old and you'll end up sleeping on the couch ...

[Moon]

Oh, come on! A semiautomatic weapon? What the heck is some teenager going to do with that, other than shoot up the school or neighborhood??

[PhilinTexas]

What's the big deal? My 19-year-old son spent a few weeks in June shooting assault weapons and heavy machineguns, and throwing and launching grenades in California. Those Marines..they're so violent.

[Wyo Cowboy]

It's not the weapon that's the problem. It's the one carryin' it.

[oneblankspace]

They did not cancel it. They just postponed it for a year. Don't these writers read their own articles?

[Not My Usual Alias]

oneblankspace--
The copy editor writes the headlines. The reporters aren't sure if the copy editors were laid off or layed off, since the person who knows has left the building.

[oldmanatee]

Talk about someone that will have a powerful witness.....

Teen: "Have you heard about God's plan for your eternal salvation?"

Persn on the street: "I don't have time...."

Teen(racking a round): "I think you do...."

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

Yeah, that's the really amazing bit: They did not conclude that giving away a semi-automatic assault rifle was a really stupid idea...

[Bob]

Props for the SB this week.
