Seems to me, OKCupid trying to boycott a perfectly good company and product over a single person's political views, is grounds for boycotting OKCupid. Stupidity abounds. This is a grand example of the INtolerance of opposing views we have been seeing since Obama took office. (I'm not blaming him, just pointing out the approximate timing.)

guns are the longest lived of any technological artifact in the world.

Or if only there existed a large difficult to open with force box that firearms could be stored in some place nice and safe to store them. This large box would also help prevent firearm theft as it could be large and very bulky and possibly attached to a concrete floor. As an added bonus you could line the inside of the box with firebrick to provide fire protection and you could also put a box of silica pellets in it to keep the humidity down and prevent rust.
