I ruined dinner

you might of gone over board with the:

Not only can I kill you with this fork, but a fork kills quietly and you wouldn't have any idea what's coming because it's not a threatening object.

but i like the idea of signing with a bloody paw print

As a Jew, I think a lot of the community has become so unattached from the Holocaust after not even 2 generations and its awful.

And not to mention that guns are a way of life for Israelis, and due to that military doctrine has established them as a 1st world nation in less than 60 years, amidst chaos.

No offense taken... that is my point of view exactly, and it frustrates the hell out of me that everybody on that side of the family has her mindset. In fact, I'm one of 3 people in my (fairly large) family, mom's and dad's side, that own a firearm. And one of the others keeps it locked up in the safe and takes it out once a year or so for some range time, and would never think about carrying it or using it for self defense.

I don't care who you are, if I have something to say I'll say it. Of course there are situations where I know I should bite my tongue, and I do, but I didn't see this as one of them.

Yeah, it was a bit extreme, and I was thinking maybe I shouldn't have gone there while I was saying it, but it was the best/first example that came to mind to get my point across.
Bloody paw print will be included.

I was originally thinking overboard...but then I thought...Awesome! I do like the visualization of it

I've been in the same situation and understand the frustration. My only input is to not reinforce the idea that people with guns are angry people. I try very hard in those situations to sound reasonable and friendly and to not get into long heated debates. Although sometimes I wish I had a fork and dull fork at that.

Honestly believes that if you outlaw something, the criminals won't do it.

Well most people won't do it, hence why they aren't criminals...

No, I read it in a Jackie Mason's voice.

Gun Conversations can be tough with family..... My Step mom ( who has always been my mom period for me ) is fairly anti gun . this came to a head this christmas when my brothers got me p-mags for christmas so that my mom finally found out I have guns.

Lucky for me the bros talked to her before I even got there, told her look he's 36 years old. he's grown up and can decide what he wants. she didn't say even one word to me about it the whole time I was there LOL .

Funny thing is one of my brothers that is still living at home has an AR himself. he just keeps it at a marine buddies of his place. ( my bro is a med discharged marine)

She'd probably be really pissed if she knew that the cash she gave me as a gift was used to buy my mossberg LOL !
