In nosituation when shopping with an infant would carrying a gun be considered sensible defence imo.

With you being so erudite and perceptive Kizzy, I am sure that this is a great response, but as to just which post it is a response to is the big question, because though you quote me, there is absolutely zilch in my post which justifies to any degree any of the sentiments in your response.

Oh I know just why you responded, because my posts are like the proverbial 'red rag' to a bull with you (and certain of your cronies) and it is your Modus Operandi with my posts to see what is not there and ignore what is, but aren't you tired yet of constantly creating another 'strawman' everytime I post?

Anyway, just to show you I appreciate all this effort on my behalf (quite flattering really) I've penned you a little ditty based on a song by one of my favourite singer/songwriters - Robert Zimmerman. It took me about 2 minutes so it's not perfect but is dedicated to you, so enjoy:

'It's Time You Were A Changing'

Come gather round false critics with laptops at hand
To keep criticising what you don't want to understand.
For the clarity of my prose ain't beyond your command
And it's for your own hidden agendas you're raging.

But it's all as transparent as glass and a pain in the ass
So it's time you were a changing.

There's no flaws in my statements and your counters are weak,
So you resort to misquoting in a 'Strawman' technique
But despite all your efforts to keep your reasons oblique

It's all as transparent as glass and a pain in the ass
So it's time you were a changing.

Oh, as a post script and FYI: if "an innocent baby" pulls the trigger of a loaded gun and shoots someone who dies as a result, then the "innocent baby" has "killed someone" - this is beyond argument, and just why you emboldened "young children are ignorant and unpredictable" in my post is a mystery because the absolute truth of my statement is also beyond argument.
