#1 Ask them the simple question, "Is there a gun in the house?" If the answer is "yes" then your kid never goes there. Period.

Between the gun owners and the ones who tell you it's none of your business whether they do or not, your kid's gonna run out of friends PDQ.

#4 I suspect most people who suddenly get their name in the public realm get strange emails and letters from the nutters. It may not even relate to the issue at hand as nutters are by definition, well nuts.

I also believe that we all get some random emails and nonsense that we write off. Terms like F off and Die suddenly become a death threat when you want them to or when you've become paranoid because of your anti-gun article.

Having said that, shame on anyone sending death threats or anything that could be construde as a death threat. That's UnAmerican. he has a right to his speach, however wrong it is and mocking and public humiliation are more appropriate responses than violence.

#5 The Longdon woman recently claimed to have been spit on in an airport. The story has been roundly shown false, from the supposed instigation to the act of spitting.

Odds are that the water pistol story is just as false. She clearly needs some therapy and quiet time, not further feeding of her addiction to attention.

Soldier? In the Army yeah. From what I've heard he was an infantry commander as 2nd Lieutenant long enough to get his creds and promotion to Lieutenant Colonel of History Classes. A professor of history who uses Alex Jones stories from Mother Jones.

Is a machete and kukri even legal in England? What does local translate to? I measure him three bags of dork to move to England and sit around all day reading Mother Jones and lamenting the culture he left.

Machete? Kukri? Gather round the learned professor of history, who has chosen weapon of last choice, other than perhaps a dagger or brass knuckles, in order to protect his. Tell me you at least have a doru, oh master Bateman. Or some darts?

Master Bateman: coffee house ninja.

#9 Local help needed, but does his possession of combat knives violate the Knives Act of 1997?

And by stating the purpose of those knives as combat, violate Prevention of Crime Act?
