Ah, yes, an excellent day to express our gun enthusiasm. Well done sir! Shall we arm only the teachers or the 5 year olds as well? Happy holidays!

Mike, it was also in the "Dear Ann Landers" column this morning, signed "Tasteless in Kansas."

Texas did!!

Merry Christmas!!

Arming teachers! What a great idea! If only the rest of the country could make such an informed (not short sighted or insane) decision!

Merriest of Christmases, sir!

So this is the last post with this kind of nonsense in it. Whether anyone started it or not, it's done now. It is truly a sad time for America with the great tragedy in CT and we need to be respectful of the situation. There will be times in the future, and probably not on this board, for gun control debate. Please keep it to cards, guys. Anymore discussion about it in this thread, and mostly anywhere on the board, and it will be dealt with swiftly. I get tears in my eyes every time I see some of those parents on TV or in the media. Most of us are parents and I can't imagine the agony.

I should add that the subject is being talked about in the thread about the atrocity, and as long as it stays there and doesn't get out of hand, no worries. But the subject will not be allowed to spill over into other threads. Thanks for everyone's understanding.

Fair enough, Leon. As a parent of a Kindergartner very similar to all those kids, this entire incident hits wayyyyyyyyyyy to close to home and I've let my emotions get the better of me. Will be the last I mention it on these boards.

Thanks Mike...I mean seriously, I just now watched a news clip of 2 of the parents....tears were streaming down my face. I appreciate everyone's understanding and, as a parent, I do understand.

I just received my first Gehrig from his playing days.

Got my first pre-war card! Woooooot. I mentioned this in another post about T206 but this is one of my favorite poses in the set. Hat flipped up. Old style glove visible. Staring down the hitter.

Bryan, if you think the first card is fun, wait until you really get into the set. But you'll always remember that first one. My first was Chick Gandil. I hope you have as much fun collecting as I've had.
