Everyone knows "Guns Don't Kill People"

Meaning, don't blame <i>firearms</i> for their ability to easily be used by freakishly paranoid lunatics to murder innocent people.

Also, while we are averting blame, don't blame <i>nonsensical fuckwit bumper-sticker slogans drilled into everyone's head</i> for making it impossible to address cold-blooded murder with reason or logic.

Some one tricked me into picking up the phone the other day with that bullshit and I chatted for awhile explaining that I didn't know how the computer worked and asked them how do you turn it on.

Thank you. I was sure it was Florida. The young man's name was Yoshihiro Hattori - he deserves to be remembered.

It's <a href="http:\/\/machaut.uchicago.edu\/\?action=search&amp\;resource=Webster%27s&amp\;word=Pursy&amp\;quicksearch=on" target="_blank">not necessarily</a> a reference to ladyparts, it turns out. Although most people nowadays think of it that way, so the etymology is likely irrelevant.

Also the use of "You" makes it appear accusatory. It would be best to use "I statements" as in "I have been shot, probably by the asshole with the gun".

In Flah-di-dah, it's as likely the browns as the blahs.
