Poor Lookout Can't Understand "Need"

Poor Lookout.
His question "Why do I need a gun?" backfired on him. Backfired so
bad, he pretended not to even see my reply. When he saw he couldn't
get away with that any more, he pretended I was "making up"
definitions for the word "need." and proclaimed
:Message-ID: <e8pb95tn1i8el0qsp8956kg41dgjqg8oi0@xxxxxxx>
:That is NOT the definition in any dictionary and you know it.
:OR....you could find that somewhere on line
Since Lookout is too stupid to look up "need" on the Internet, or know
what it means, I have created several links for him.
