Or Robodog.

They are also blaming "an inadequacy of prayer", so perhaps not absolutely right.

Well, they let the Google executives keep their heads, so that's progress.

While you're possibly technically correct (the best kind of correct!) I think you're the one being a bit disingenuous here.

Plenty of people-- including myself-- use their firearms only for clay/target shooting and never harm a living thing with them. Unless you would be ok restricting gun ownership to single-shot, bolt action competition grade pistols and rifles, though, that's not what is being discussed here.

My guns were designed to kill game and the occasional rampaging tweaker. That's fine with me. I'm not ashamed of being able to put food on my table if I choose to, or defend myself if it becomes necessary.

Sure, just grab some supercavitating ammo and blast away!

The only article I found supporting this unlikely theory after a *very* cursory search was this one, written by a Salon politics writer whose argument is basically "Elephants are disappearing but tigers are becoming more abundant, so could tigers really be elephants?"

The backlash against Dick's was IIRC because they destroyed a bunch of "assault-style" guns they pulled off their shelves in the aftermath of one of the school shootings, not because they stopped carrying guns or ammo. I still buy plenty of ammo at Dick's. I wouldn't buy a gun there, but that's more because of selection and price than anything ideological.

Not necessarily. For instance, an anonymous client could state "I am interested in seeing ads for these things," rather than an advertising company stating "We're pretty sure this is John Doe, SSN 123-45-6789, who is 34, drives a Honda, has red hair and calls his mom once a week. Prell Shampoo seems suitable."
