        If your response to gun control is "knives and cars kill people too" then you have completely missed the point.

        Knives are used for cooking. Cars are used for transportation. The ONLY purpose of a gun is violence.

        Only if she uses trigger discipline. Otherwise it's such a turn-off. Oh, you meant that kind of gun porn.

        It's sad that this is from June 2014. More than three years later and still relevant for a parody news site to post.

        gallows humor is still humor, assuming the teller is among those on the gallows and not in the crowd.
