It is a sport just like football only it allows people of all ages, skill levels and abilities to participate. The fact that it makes an older, smaller person quite capable of defending themself in nearly any given situation has some attraction as well. I will say that story left no doubt in my mind that it was anti gun and blaming guns for the deaths and not the people who pulled the trigger. If I was inclined to kill someone a gun would probably be my last choice, too easy to link you with it. Edged weapons require an intimacy with the vic that makes it more difficult for some but good stabbings are more fatal on a percentage basis than shootings. Bombs have more potential for collateral damage but if you want the person dead bad enough the chance of taking out an extra person or two should not bother you much, same with fire. A sedative in your cocktail can be arranged by someone you are intimate with. Face it there is a million ways to die this is just one of them. Steve made a bad decision, they speculate that he was shot while sleeping, she could have just as easily slit his throat and he would have died nearly as quickly. The gun was not the problem in this situation it was merely the tool used. I am a huge gun fan, I no longer hunt but I do take part in competitive shooting events and find them very entertaining.

Where did you get these numbers? Even if true...America has far more people in it than places like the UK...thus our numbers will be bigger. Whats even more scary is that you would entertain some of our freedoms being taken away and giving our government more power to control our lives. That is what is scary. Think about it....one of the first things an oppressive government that wants to control the lives of its people will want to do is make sure its citizens do not have weapons to potently fight back with. Now don't get me wrong....I'm not suggesting we go storm Washington with guns.....we so far still have a free country.....to a point. But you should be alarmed when you see the government taking over free businesses and taking steps that puts them in positions to make decisions for us.....like health care for example. We are headed down the road of an oppressive socialist government. Gun control would be one step toward that end. If you don't think so then you are clueless. colby says “Wow. Really Harold?

If you set up a user name system that required an email, you could send us email updates, which in turn, could potentially generate more ad revenue power for your site. Plus, it's the offseason.

Bravo Bob. It's your blog and if you want to give your opinion about something in the news, concerning NFL Football if not the Chiefs, during a lull in the Offseason, more power to you. I do agree with Jorge though. The fake posting and ego stroking is way beyond control, and as a blog with your name attached, it would be nice if you took some steps to alleviate it, such as regristration, valid E-mail addresses,etc. I wonder if those attacking Bob for a supposed political view would be praising him if his view was leaning the other way?

I'd answer your angst-filled guilt-ridden pleas but you were obviously talking about & to all the many fake Rin's ... as such, I'm not qualified to answer. "For the record, I think it's pretty ridiculous when a sports forum such as this one does not screen any of the posts it receives." - yes...I can tell you what Bob G told me a long ago: just keep pointing out the imposters - it's my guess he has told others to do the same thing. What is interesting/more so 'telling' herein, is while there's much gnashing of teeth/wringing of hands regards those who would impersonate you or some other person for example, when tis the real Rin being imitated silence is the embrace... how very telling indeed. "One would think that people in charge of Bobgretz.com would monitor this forum to make sure that people stay on the topic on hand rather than using it as a tool to make themselves feel more important." - don't be so hard on yourself...some folks (Rin) are just more educated than others, possessing a wider fund of knowledge football & other subject matter. "right Rin?" - always...I thought I was wrong once but as it turned out twas just Hunt Jr. made the mistake, the period aft the end the 2008 season. "I don't blame the idiots that write such stupid posts. I blame Bob Gretz." - your inference that Bob G is somehow less than an idiot is one that Rin does not share with you and cannot embrace. "If he allows his name to be used, you would think he would make sure that the integrity of this site is held so that his name wouldn't be dragged into the column of the other low-lives who have nothing better to do...right Rin?" - again, you blame him in lieu of an idiot or several... "The post above using me name, is not mine.

Real Rin here. I’d answer your angst-filled guilt-ridden pleas but you were obviously talking about & to all the many fake Rin’s … as such, I’m not qualified to answer.

“For the record, I think it’s pretty ridiculous when a sports forum such as this one does not screen any of the posts it receives.”

- yes…I can tell you what Bob G told me a long ago: just keep pointing out the imposters – it’s my guess he has told others to do the same thing.

What is interesting/more so ‘telling’ herein, is while there’s much gnashing of teeth/wringing of hands regards those who would impersonate you or some other person for example, when tis the real Rin being imitated silence is the embrace… how very telling indeed.

“One would think that people in charge of Bobgretz.com would monitor this forum to make sure that people stay on the topic on hand rather than using it as a tool to make themselves feel more important.”

- don’t be so hard on yourself…some folks (Rin) are just more educated than others, possessing a wider fund of knowledge football & other subject matter.

“right Rin?”

- always…I thought I was wrong once but as it turned out twas just Hunt Jr. made the mistake, the period aft the end the 2008 season.

“I don’t blame the idiots that write such stupid posts. I blame Bob Gretz.”

- your inference that Bob G is somehow less than an idiot is one that Rin does not share with you and cannot embrace.

“If he allows his name to be used, you would think he would make sure that the integrity of this site is held so that his name wouldn’t be dragged into the column of the other low-lives who have nothing better to do…right Rin?”

- again, you blame him in lieu of an idiot or several…

“The post above using me name, is not mine. I for one am a fan of Haley and Pioli and am more than happy and interested to see what they will bring to the Chiefs this season.”

- pursuing one’s folly is good, more power to you…

“It’s amazing when people have to use your name to get the validation they need to show others that you agree with them.”

- Rin knows only too well how a fandom His cannot but help themselves in adulation He … imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as via blogging theirs Rin is affirmed daily…

“That just means”

- more so is it poetic justice – these imitators serve to but elevate the very genius of Rin they seek to bury. Mean? No. Envy? To be sure.

“that they are not comfortable with who they are and can’t allow anyone the space to think for themselves or even to just be who they are… right Rin?”

- yes; what goes around, their own comeuppance…

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it is Rin”

- yes, payback is hell…

“who, one among many idiots, use other peoples names to blog under as amusement.”

- as you say, there be many idiots this blog so choosing ‘the’ biggest among them, wouldst be a daunting task…

“With all this said, this will be the last time I post anything.”

- I know you claim you are leaving us – forever – but as Dionne Warwick sang – “promises promises”, so too your hollow resolve likely…time will be the judge; best of luck in your endeavor, tho.

“Not because people like Rin”

- no, it’s more than mere like – it’s a love, a reverence more so…

“try to get under your skin”

- I am not a contortionist…merely genius.

“but”

- yes, go on then…

“because this is not a forum about sports. Maybe it’s about sports 40% of the time, but quite frankly, I don’t have the time nor do I care to waste any of my time and energy”

- time, care, more time and energy – all of which you took 5 (to this point) paragraphs to tell us you have not; an exercise in self-repudiation nee a lack of self-restraint, appears…

“with people like Rin, or the people that think he/she is amusing. Right Rin?

I deal with autistic and M.R. children everyday and when I am done working I do not care to deal with them on this site.”

-

“Rin”

- yes, I’m here friend – let it all out…

“you are not special”

- no, unique…

“because”

- God so loved the world he gave real Rin to the people therein. And you-

“you”

- yes you, how did you arrive here?

“rode a special bus to school.”

- we know…

“you are not special”

- no…

“because”

- Rin was the chosen son as twere – you (as the sides a game be picked) were the last one left…

“you found a safe pleasure in reading the work of classical poets and authors like Poe or Shakespeare.”

- nothing is more dangerous than a genius a Rin, Shakespeare or Poe et al running rampant through the fertile minds the uninitiated…

“Just because you have found their writing as a way to communicate”

- no, because as all great narratists/thinkers, larceny of thought is a vintage tack…

“since you”

- since always & e’er as those afore Shakespeare et al, and after as Rin influences same now this new generation… and you, what have you done in your own way nee sphere?

“have been socially deficient”

- well, do what you can/are capable of- persevere at least. For how long have you lagged behind?

“for much of your life”

- such devotion…you know, being stupid is not a crime it’s staying said that’s unforgivable.

“does not”

- yes, as you evidence it does make you special and-

“make you special”

- that’s right earmuffs, and it also relegates nee forever makes you-

“it makes you a FOLLOWER.”

- yes, foot soldier to a ‘Pied Piper’ as it were (2, 3, 4…)

“What you are”

- a savant, but you can call me Rin…and as is-

“is”

- yes, as ‘is’ the cae yours, you are?

“a M.R. man-child, someone who is probably between the ages of 55-65, nothing more and nothing less.”

- such transparency…and forthrightness.

“Any post here using my name”

- only several that appear manufactured the minds doorknobs…

“from”

- well, we know from the reading said tis not a matter ‘from Sharp minds come sharp products’…

“here”

- and there…most everywhere.

“on”

- clap on clap off, the Clapper…

“out”

- over and…Roger Wilco.

“is not mine.”

- no, just fool’s gold you claim title to…

“Go Chiefs 2009!”

- to the bottom of the AFC West!

Great talking with you… bye.

I like the Chiefs beating the Jags - who will be on the rebound this year and seemed to handle us pretty good in recent past. With Fred Taylor gone as well as Barnes, Peterson, etc. I see them as very vulnerable. ILChiefs,

It just ruins it for people like me who hunt, fish, and enjoy sport shooting. I am a responsible person with mine. I carry one in my truck, not to kill, but to just have IN CASE, and yes DEFEND myself if needed, but probably will never have to. I also go to friends houses and we shoot for fun so I always carry some type of gun or bow with me, just for fun, and yes I live in the country and not in a major city, so that makes a difference.

I disagree with you though. Isn't the American way about choice? Everything is up to you, choices and consequences. You choose your destiny, but no one is going to save you. People have a right to self defense from whatever is out there. If people choose to own guns and don't act responsibly, then they face the consequences of their decisions. I think you are taking rights if you dis allow handguns. Like the college kids in the Virginia Tech shooting. They were defenseless to protect their own lives. They however chose to be on an institution where guns are outlawed. I think people should have the right to "choose" gun ownership even thouse 9,500 more people in our country die due to ownership or having their family own guns. I think that's the American way. Human rights of choice, and with the choice the responsibility to shoulder our mistakes. We live and die by our own choices, not the choices of the government. Just like cigarettes. a free choice. It's poison and kills more people a year than suicide, homicide, and car accidents combined, but we have the right to choose. Colby you have a valid point. I disagree with you though.

They probably did, but that wasn't the reason those incidents took place. While some have said Bob didn't take a position, I disagree. As with most press articles, it is the information that is presented as well as "how" it is presented that respresents the position of the author. Those incidents didn't really support his premise of players owning guns resulted in tragedies and the citing of the ridiculous "study" about suicides didn't either. A well done scientific study would never conclude that homes with guns result in a greater likelyhood of suicides. There is no way to conclude that those same individuals wouldn't commit suicide by another means. The gun was the tool, not the act. If the NFL wants to get tough, put a clause in every contract that states a player must repay bonus money, escalators, etc. if they are involved in any incidents involving a gun.

On the other hand, I HAVE known people who have misplaced guns (incredible, but true), had guns stolen from them, and, worst of all, had a family member kill themselves with a gun that was in the house. Pointless to argue, though. I have very reasonable friends who are gun owners and are not fazed by arguments such as yours. Agree 100% with your last comment, Colby.
