    1. Two possible reasons:
      1. There are so few of these stories I have to double up and hope you guys don't notice.
      2. There are so many I can't keep them all straight.
      You pick.

    2. I doubt very seriously if you really mean that. Which means either you're joking, which is unlikely since you have no sense of humor, or you're lying again. Which is it, Greg?

    3. Why do you feel the need to post my family members death on your page? What are you gaining out of this? He is not a statistic nor is he to be used for your political propaganda. You don't take the time to get to the know the child or our family..you just post this and you don't care how it affects us. Have a heart..or try to grow one please.

    4. Sorry for you loss and that my post offends you. Misuse of firearms, failure to properly secure them, kids with access to guns are all subjects for my blog. My hope is that people who read this stuff will have a better understanding of the issues surrounding gun rights vs. gun control.
