I invented it, right before I invented the question mark.
Edit : I heard it at a gun show long before message boards. |

It started ages ago with an accident, involving a boat...
It was quite tragic.

IIRC, it started with a video from the NRA when discussing gun control in England. Someone said in the video that he lost all his in a boating accident.
End result - gun control still exists in England, and that fella doesn't openly use them. So yeah....the phrase is stupid, pisses me off and makes ya sound like a bunch of pussies. |

I always enjoyed the irony of bringing all your guns on a boat, as if there would be any legit reason to do so in the first place

we take guns on the boats all the time! shooting in the ocean is fun! dropping a 10/22 into the ocean...not so much.

I teach a Rifle Marksmanship class at my university and II brought some guns in to class one day to show them different types of firearms. I told my students these were borrowed from friends because I lost all of mine in a tragic boating accident and were at the bottom of a river or lake (can't remember which; depends on the year). A few weeks later, I had a couple of them ask me about why I had all my guns in a boat. I started laughing because they truly believed that I had lost them all.

We had a vote several years ago.
It narrowly beat "My dog ate it." So that's what we went with. |
