    Samuel L. Jackson...supports gun ownership?!

    Tonight on Conan O'Brien, Samuel L. Jackson, left-wing actor, let it be known that he owns a gun. And not only that, he considers being able to protect yourself to be responsible. :eek: He didn't get into it too much, possibly because he didn't know how to respond to the shock of the...

    LA Times: Brazil Gun Buyback Exceeds Hopes

    http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-guns25oct25,1,5220222.story Methinks that this story is an example of "spin early, spin often." They're claiming success before finding out if the buyback actually reduces crime. :fire:

    If you watch Stargate SG-1 then you know who Colonel O'Neil is. In the show, he uses a variety of firearms--including MP5's and P90's--to great effect, and with apparent glee. (I won't even start talking about how much he loves C4....) However, the actor, Richard Dean Anderson, was once on...

    Tonight's CSI: waiting periods kill

    OK, so the subject line is my take on it. It DID catch my attention as an interesting plot device on tonight's CSI. A rape victim wanted to buy a gun for protection, but before the victim-disarmament--er, waiting--period was up, she was abducted and killed. :cuss: Edited too ficks a...
