Or hire Bobby Knight to kick the thugs off the teams, one. Half the NFL players are already prohibited from owning guns because they're felons. What the NFL and NBA both need is a moral clause.

I cut my thumb pretty badly installing an extended thumb safety on my Browning Hi-Power, once got my finger pinched by a S&W 60 shooting double-action, and even managed to slice the web of my hand re-assembling a Taurus 62. If we include the number of times I've been smacked by flying brass from a 1911, the matter is clear. Meanwhile, I have yet to shoot a criminal. KingsideRook, he may have a point.

When you join the NFL, should that mean you have to allow the military to use your house?
