I dont know if there is one in Des Moines or not, but Theissen's has some. There is one in Ames, Newton, and Marshalltown. Not sure of other locations.

[stage whisper voice] I think he's trying to make a political statement based on the flawed assumption that all guns are inherently dangerous.[/stage whisper voice]

As an owner of multiple guns I can tell you that the statement is not flawed. All guns are inherently dangerous, so long as you have the ammunition or the ability to buy or steal the ammunition.

Its just common sense. All cars are inherently dangerous as well. As in any other object that can be used to kill or maim other people.

I find it a little disconcerting that you believe that projectile weapons aren't inherently dangerous. They would be pretty useless if they aren't.:smile:

Semantics. Guns are, like cars, inanimate objects, and therefore possess no "inherent" danger. They are, however "potentially" dangerous through use and intent, however, just like any other useful tool.

I'd better take all of my hammers, saws and wrenches out of my garage then. They are inherently dangerous as I could easily beat my neighbors to death with them at any time.
