Default Guns. Guns are guns. Let's talk about the gun.

Guns. Guns are guns. Let's talk about the gun.



This is an assortment of guns. They are of different design but all function as guns. Some guns are bigger than other guns. There are laws about guns. Some people like guns. Other people do not like guns. A gun is a gun.

In conclusion, guns.

In one dialect of 1337 sp3ak, the word 'Gun' is spelt 'Gahn'.

A missile is not a gun, but a missile launcher is like a big gun that shoots missiles out of the barrel of the gun.

Platapus has adequately shown that he should no longer be allowed to have a "gun". We need a new law!

Guns are regulated by gun laws.

Not even a little snub nose gun?

I wondered why The Frau's pet name for me is Derringer. I thought it was because she was a history buff.

Fine. Since I'm not strong enough to lift a missile, I whack you on the head with my rifle.

My "gun" is staying where it is, thank you very much.

Hmm. Maybe I was to young at the time to catch the double-entendre from the most famous of all Gunns.

So if Gunning Bedford partnered with Jimmy Gunning and opened a factory in Gunning New South Wales would it be called A Gunning Gunning Gunning Gun?

And if the latter sent one to the former could he be accused of Gunning for Bedford?

And if they decided to move manufacturing overseas to a specific country in Korea, it might be called a Gunning Gunning Gunning Gun Gun.
