I thought this was an interesting discussion that happened to pop-up on a certain social media site. How many of you conceal carry? And what do you think about prohibiting firearms on hospital property?

I think with the increasing violence these days, safety is a major concern for everyone. How do you protect yourself and still abide by the rules set by your facility?

I think she's referring to Pinay. (If your post is a sarcastic one, never mind this post)

No - not sarcastic, just confused. I don't have the greatest writing style (I could fill a page with a single sentence), but my grammar is usually fairly ok.

So ... carry on. Just not where I work.:dead:

I think it's safe to say that she was not referring to you.

And I see what you did there.

Yes, I was responding sarcastically to this interaction:

Wow, One of most dumbest post I have ever seen here

Is this a joke? or are you trying to be funny?

Your usage of "most dumbest" is ironic.

I am pretty sure that English is a second language for Pinay RN.

US school system, I was more interested in chasing girls and playing sports and hunting and fishing in High School than English class, I found it very boring....

Omg AN has GOT to fix the multiquote snafus. Obviously I was not talking to myself in every single one of those posts.

No, no, heron. Your posts have not been targeted by the grammar police. I promise!

There's nothing wrong with one-sided conversations. Those are the best kind. You can easily resolve arguments.

Per your request:

Gun homicides and gun ownership by country - The Washington Post

Canada has 1/3 the guns per capita of the US, but still 30 guns per 100 people. Canada has 1/6 the per capita FIREARM homicide rate. BUT, if someone murders you in Canada they are twice as likely to kill you with something other than a gun vs the US, as if such a statistic mattered.

Discordantly, look at Jamaica which has 1/10 the US guns per capita, but 13x the per capita FIREARM homicide rate and the murder weapon is more likely to be a gun than in the US.

Reminds me of some saying... correlation something something causation... these stats don't inform us of much... except that Canadians have a lot of guns.

I don't think people should own guns if they don't want to.

I also think people fear what they don't understand. That is all I meant by expanding horizons, wasn't meant to be offensive. Someone who hasn't driven a car and comes from a segment of culture that lacks exposure to cars might read horror stories about car wrecks, drunk driving, and auto wrecks and conclude that cars are dangerous things and the concept of owning one might be foreign to them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Canada Regarding, 30 guns in 100 in Canada: Perhaps t is because there are more wilderness places in Canada where guns are allowed. Not everyone can own a gun, only those who needs protection from wildlife in the wilderness or those whose job requires use of guns. The type of gun is restricted. In other words, just not the same situation as in the US.
