Yes, that's an inaccurate generalization, I ask because you're perfectly happy to register your children with the government, (along with houses, cars, businesses, and just about everything else) but the moment someone mentions registering guns people start shouting that it's crazy.Oh, and I'm not against guns, so don't witter at me about that.
Note: This question is predominantly jocular hence the fun category, so please do not use it as a forum for the gun debate, just tell me why you like your guns more than your children. :D

Don't bother responding if you're going to witter on about irrelevant things.
Or you could've noticed that this question is a parody, and not answered a completely different question to the one I actually asked
Semper Fi .

Don't bother responding if you're going to stay off topic, or try to lecture me on my question.
Semper Fi
I can give you a little help with that if you like.
Also, you're bringing up the issue of guns in a very glaring way ... but you don't want people to get into a gun debate?
Yeah, okay. That makes lots of sense.
If I'll joke about the knife in my gut after my friend accidently stabbed me while it's still there, I'll joke about this.
A joke is a statement that's intended to be humorous, and or encourages humorous responses, there is no limit on the topic. Perhaps it's that my humour is too british.
And if you do respond again, do so in the manner the question expects/requests, not how you did the first time.
What part of your answer is the joke?
This question is self described as jocular, a parody of this style of question, for a response to be relevant it must accept the joke, and/or continue it.
An answer is irrelevant if it responds as if the question was serious, as yours does. Please take this into account if you wish to reply again.
That still doesn't explain why, when you don't find a joke funny, you spend a day wittering on about some irrelevant rubbish. Either explain that to me, or don't bother coming back to my question.
Let's say we met at some social event, and I made the joke, "Knock knock, who's there, noo, woo who? No need to cry, it's only a joke."
It's a joke that isn't funny, would you for the rest of the day aimlessly witter on about your favourite brand of horse feed or something, even though it's totally irrelevant to the event and the former joke for the sole reason that you didn't find the joke amusing?
(That is what you just said you did here.)
You want the discussion to end, there are some pretty simple options for you, most obvious is stop giving me things to respond to; you could not reply, or post a comment that doesn't easily facilitate a reply. This being my question, I feel I have the right to respond to anything on it.
Same way if you came into my house, and started behaving disruptively, I wouldn't just ignore you.
You could of course block me.
Anyway, what's different about this forum that means instead of responding with some form of humorous remark, you just post a few paragraphs that are irrelevant to, well just about anything.
Oh, and if pigs could fly they wouldn't be eagles, pigs are mammals, even when airborne they don't become avian. That’s pretty basic biology.
And it’s 23:20 at night, I don’t code this late.
