I thought after hearing from the pro-gun folks that having guns is supposed to make us safer, right?

And then you post, "Let's hope so..."

By the way, preaching to the choir usually means you are trying to convince an already sympathetic audience, and I think you meant quite the opposite unless I'm mistaken.

So James is quite correct, nobody would come to take Greg's guns. But, like the AR15 buyers in GEORGIA shown in the Pakman video, logic reasoning and understanding need not be applicable...

We all understood your point, but you did misuse the well known phrase' "preaching to the choir."  Not even worth mentioning that by itself, but in context it was funny.  It was an inadvertent joke!  I thought it was funny anyway, and I certainly was not laughing at you.  I was laughing at the phrase "preaching to the choir" in context, which would have meant Rich and Mel.  Not that it matters, but what the hell, nothing we post here matters.
