[/QUOTE] (why is everyone so snarky on this thread, geez?!) [/QUOTE]
A theory about this---I'm new to this community, so I'm not used to what seems like extra hostility and anti intellectualism compared to other forums. So theory: could it be that gun owners are suffering from lead poisoning?
Symptoms include:
slowed body growth
reduced IQ
loss of appetite and weight loss
constipation and mild abdominal pain
irritability
general fatigue
blue tinge around the gums
anemia
hearing loss and reduction in other senses
neurological weakness, in the later stages
I guess nobody will believe me when I say, "no snark", but I truly wonder lead exposure from guns. Look at the gun happy USA, don't they seem to exhibit the above symptoms more than Canadians? (sans "weight loss", haha, snark!!)
