Guns ad nauseum

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Right, that was the point. Guns, iPods, laptops, cameras, cell phones, 
GPS units, and cash must be 90% of what people steal from homes and 
cars. Of course, one can assume any home has at least 1 of these, but if 
one knows for sure, well ... ------------------------------ Message: 3

This is much preferable to having people break-in while you are at home, 
  so I'd call it a successful deterrence unless it was somehow 
established that the marginal desire to steal the gun motivated the 
decision to break in at all.
