Seriously people.

Enough debates. Just go out and get it already. It protects you, your family and everyone in the community. It's been scientifically, mathematically and statistically proven to make everyone safer. The communities that got them are overwhelmingly safer. The chances of side effects or accidents are so unbelievably small that it's completely absurd to not get one already. Quit being selfish, quit arguing online and go purchase a firearm.

Edited to add. Please read post 14 to see an explanation.

Seriously? Vaccines take years to study its safety. These Covid vaccines have not been, "scientifically, mathematically and statistically proven to make everyone safer." Yet!
 
I will never get a gun. Guns were not allowed in my house (apartment) and never will be. I live alone now anyway but no one better enter here with one. This is what doesn't make sense to me. Someone owns a gun. They have children or grandchildren who visit so they keep the gun hidden, under lock and key in some obscure place. When needed, how accessible is it really under those conditions? What if someone breaks into the house and gets to you before you get to the gun...what good is it then? And if you don't keep it safely tucked away, what are the chances an accidental shooting could occur? Lord knows there's been enough of those tragedies over the years.

It seems you want to censor information. Just everyone post feel good confidence in the vaccine regardless of any information to the contrary.

Just do it?
That's your opinion which you are entitled to, the same as others not sharing your views are entitled to express their opinions.

I could never have a gun. I now have a short fuse and an abusive, at times, husband who irritates the crap out of me most of the time. A gun would not be a good ideal. 😂

Sorry for the title. It was a copy of a test on Facebook to see if people read the whole post or just skimmed what they thought it was about. So often a OP makes a post and just a few words are read and the topic goes off the rails.

When I read this there much earlier, there were over 200 comments and well over half still thought it about the shot. I admit I nearly did. Seniors obviously read better that those youngsters on FB. LOL.

Oh we have our share of criminals and lunatics running around, they find it very difficult to get a gun. Unfortunately there are guns coming across our borders the border guards can't catch them all. Then it is also difficult to get ammo unless a person has been vetted by the RCMP and taken and passed a course in gun safety .

In case you aren't aware, there are ways to keep a gun quickly accessible, but not accessible to children & unauthorized people.
My gun is accessible to me in less than 2 seconds; but not accessible to anyone else.

They are also available for rifles & shotguns:

Yup - there is no gun violence in Canada.........in your world of make believe:

Canadian Police don't need Assault Rifles, either because of their low crime rate.....in your world of make believe:

Well hell! Why doesn't the topic include the word guns to be clear. With all the Covid and vaccine and everyone touting it's been scientifically, mathematically and statistically proven. 🤔

I apologize to Jules for misunderstanding.

I misunderstood it at first, too. Then I read the first few comments; confused but it started to sink in.

The main reason for the confusion is the "Just do it" part. No one here needs to be told to "just get a gun, already." If we want one, we get one. Or two, or.... (if we qualify and can afford it, that is.)

Yup, I misunderstood too, so I waited until others had posted. I also don't know what "read post 14 means" and I am certainly not going to try and find it as I would be here for the rest of the afternoon looking for it (ha ha). I have better things to do with my time like NOT going out and getting a gun no matter WHAT the reason is.

I knew it was a joke. Good one, but some overly-sensitive people will be angry. 😊

Just in case you want help, and for future reference...in the upper right hand corner of each comment you'll see they're numbered. Jules posted "sorry for the title" on #14 here.
