OK, I think I may be doomed to failure right from the start, but what are the odds that a satirical look at gun ownership/control/laws can get a few laughs without launching another round of, ahem, debate? Seriously guys, this is just for a laugh. :)
Gorilla Sales Skyrocket After Latest Gorilla Attack | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
If you could currently buy gorrilas, and there was a threat that you wouldn't be able to buy them soon, sales would skyrocket.
It's about a commodity becoming scarce (or the threat of it becoming scarce) in the market, combined with media driven awareness / hype.
The same thing happened with twinkies.
So was the last one, and that turned out well....Quote:

I think so long as people get a license, and some training....No..nvm..I don't think it's ok to own a gorilla. Unless it's like a "therapy" gorilla that visits nursing homes to keep the old folks cheered up. Even that might be risky.
I was just catching up on it and only had a page and a half of posts left to read the other night before it was completely removed off the forum(it was already closed). I understand the need to close threads that derail or completely devolve, but pulling this one was a disappointment, whereas the other more controversial and closed threads on similar topics are still there for the reading. :shrug:Quote:

I only caught a 'glimpse' of it, and the bit that I saw fired a few concerns in me. Not sure I want a gorilla though. All I need is a Jack Russell :). I'm the gorilla holding him! :D

I have already placed an order for my gorilla. We all know the only way to stop a gorilla attack is by having a gorilla of your own.
We must not allow a gorilla gap!

Our Rat Terrier had a gorilla, stuffed of course, oddly enough. Me, I'm no gorilla.Quote:

Never mind that, the real question is why you aren't out there gathering badgers and setting up a brush works! :)Quote:

I'm not really sure badgers want to be "gathered", anyway there is none on the island where I live... I wish there were, then I would make brushes for all of you! ;)
This was all fun and games until my gorilla simply wanted to wear a cool black leather jacket and then, oooohhhhhhhh, now I have an illegal ASSAULT gorilla! JEEZ!!
All this talk about guerrillas.
I wouldn't want one. They are hard to train and become surly and disrespectful and think they can just take over always looking for a cause.
Nope you can keep em.
No, no, no you've got it all wrong there BS. Not Guerrillas that run around in berets and look for excuses to have causes. We're talking about Gorillas, the kind you can put in a T-shirt and take to Hooters and pass off as a friend in costume! :) Try doing that with a Guerrilla and see if you can get away with it!
Mick
Now I'm confused Gorillas, Guerrillas... Which are you still allowed to hunt?

We will listen to Sinatra and discuss world affairs...
I need to build a fireplace.
Ahhhhh... a red smoking jacket, a pipe loaded with a fine bourbon blend, with the company of a fine gorilla beside the fires crackle. Truly - life has no finer to offer...Quote:

You gotta have some guns over the fire place as well, might I suggest a matching pair of Holland and Holland .470...
...or if you really wanna go gorilla, go for the .700 nitro express!
-Nice shotgun Sir!
-It's not a shotgun, it's an H&H!

I already live with something that could, potentially, rip my head off. Why I would want another?
In her defence, she does look a lot better than a gorilla, though. And she has a great sense of humor.
"You look a lot better than a gorilla" I have to remember that line next time out at the pub! ;)
