100% fallacious comparisons! Wow, I did not think I would have seen that coming. I think like Obama, the USSR and the NRA? I MUST BE ONE COMPLETELY CONFUSED FUCQING LIBERAL!

ROTFL my friend... ROTFL!

Obama took the tiger by the tail when he gave Wall Street the bail out WE should have gotten. He is afraid of being the guy in the middle should a full blown rebellion break out thanks to him. Too bad he took a job being a puppet. he should be scared. He is sure not serving MY interests. He isn't serving America! We all know he sold out. Its supposedly the American way. So is living in fear of guns!

Geez...

The Vapors, anything but Turning Japanese.

For one just the toxicity of Radioactive substances in the first place! WE THE PEOPLE DO BEAR NUKES but under a strict structure of authority and rules we adhere to tightly. It takes a lot to be allowed to hold the keys to Armageddon! Next. What do you do with a nuke once you build it? We do not store active weapons. Active weapons are set on delivery systems just in case they get the order. So what if I have 25 kilotons of force in my basement aye? That is an over reactive extreme to the right to bear arms. Now bazookas, rpgs and flamethrowers? A little over the top but frankly in the right hands they are safe. In the wrong hands they are not. Machine guns, They are FUN AS HELL TO SHOOT! Behind a .50 BMG I feel like GOD! Never got to light off a BIG BIG gun yet. Did some rocketry as well including making some 'eh, well, best I not talk about it style rockets just to see if I could do it. Red match heads! That is all I will say. And they go up like hells bells! One of those hybrid motors made my Estes rocket into a magic act. Now you see it, now you don't. All I could do was follow the white line into the sky where I could see the streamer coming down BARELY! I was one of those science geeks in high school. One of the scary ones!

But again just becasue I wield such power do I have a right to use it to hold sway? I do not see the second amendment entitling anyone to use capital firepower in the name of gain. But in the name of defending our homes? I actually feel the restrictions we have are stupid and don't address the real problems. Likewise we can't seem to get the fact in our heads there will always be Bad Seeds!

I feel if you want a nuke knock yourself out. I just hope you know how to keep a from grip on the tail of that tiger!

THANK YOU!

The guy with the longest dangly parts?

I so remember that movie! I was nine when that came out. That Caterpillar D-9 was PISSED off!

But the Colorado Killdozer had a very angry driver in it. I think the odd thing was he killed no one. Took out the city hall, a bank, several businesses, some homes, and every last target was people who really did screw him over. He took his own life instead. Even the "System" was part of what had been done to this man. He did nothing to anyone who had nothing to do with what he had suffered.


http://www.damninteresting.com/the-wrath-of-the-killdozer/

I found the story behind this incident. This thing would have taken a tow missile hit probably!

And @funches, dude, do you remember the Civilian Defense?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_civil_defense



During WWII and the Korean Conflict people trained to integrate with police and the National Guard so that people with guns were not running around all willy-nilly! We have forgotten the things that made us a great and powerful nation both abroad and at home. If they had Civil Defense training I would go! Would you? Civil Defense goes a long way but do we have that today? HELL NO! Now we have to depend on fireman and police and other bogus authority figures to protect us from harm. We don't roll up our sleeves and get dirty any more. Gotta look all MTV for the girls now. Please, this is how I would have dealt with killdozer sight unseen. Shape charge on a rope, Ambush the vehicle. Drag the shape charge in front of the treads with a rope from a safe location out of sight of his guns. And right when he is just about to crush the charge take out his tread on one side. Dynamite can do the job if you put a plate of soft metal like lead or copper over the dynamite. Mining explosives would not have worked the same way. Another variant would be to put a huge charge of dynamite, about ten to 15 sticks under a manhole cover using a pothole to set the manhole cover over it and when the dozer was over the manhole cover POP GOES THE ARMOR!

I could in theory kill an M1 Abrams too or at least disable it enough to make killing it easier. I just need access to the right materials. You don't need C4. It works better. Even an ANFO charge placed the right way CAN kill a tank or flip it over but that is MUCH better for whole scale wiping people out. Pit traps do wonders for a tank. So does immolating it in fire. No tanks can survive being on fire for long. Their engines need to breath air. And if you get it hot enough on the outside the crew dies on the inside. I LOVE FIRE! And low flying helicopters... Use a cheap rocket to drag a cable into the rotors of a flying helicopter and watch several million in hardware hit the ground hard! PLEASE! America WANTS me to be on its side! I have knowledge that makes me dangerous but to use it to go around killing people? Those that are a credible threat YES. Everyone else? WHY? What would making everyone around me fear me serve me? People are scared of me just becasue and that is bad enough! people pretend they know me and everyone else.

So Funches,

All Obama is worthy of is a resounding FUCQ YOU! Elitist bastards! The Pigs have taken over the farm!

Obama has this more equal than equal mentality that scrapes on me like a cheese grater!

NICE! Now I am Rambo. NO. I am a Wolverine! Misunderstood, a survivor, capable of killing an animal over 340 TIMES its own size, and willing to take on Bears.

Now between you and me if we both had a pistol who has a real advantage over the other guy? In a face off the guy who trained with his gun has the advantage. But man for man, not counting anything else? For as big as you are you would have no advantage over me at all. We could kill each other very easily.

Now, do not compare Obama to a Samurai at all! Samurai had to fight for a living. Obama is a limp wristed party planner who's idea of a hard day at work is gauged by how much *** he had to kiss! If he and Vladamir Putin got into a fight Obama would be done in under 10 seconds, world leader for world leader. Obama also has NO honor and no real code of ethics save one, cram HIS idealistic agenda down our throats. He is a male Marie Antoinette living in utter denial of how big a mistake he has made and the disaster he is about to unleash on us all!

Now comparing civilian to military firepower, Here is a though, how many of those soldiers are Americans? Really. Ask a soldier some time if they were ordered to go door to door to confiscate weapons what they would do. It is the UN soldiers I would be more afraid of. Nut then again what would keep me from ambushing a few blue helmets and relieving them of their hardware and dignity? WOLVERINES!

You see the problem is where can we run when our homes are being destroyed? There is no where to run! If you don't find a point where you decide to stand your ground you will always be running. The gun control issue is all about the second amendment and also about our rights to protect ourselves. Gun Control is all about taking them away gradually! One restriction leads to another then to another in a slippery slope that is lubricated by momentum! Suddenly our constitution is burned and we are back to the Feudal days!

We have lost sight of the ideals of PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY! And you keep trying to digress others to the subject of nuclear weapons. Dude, get over it. The pollution alone is deterrent enough. if you are so scared about nukes lets go pound N Korea once and for all! Lets get that problem done with. Then go to Iran and kick their sorry ***** back into the Straights of Hormuz so they can take a bath for a change!

You put FAR too much faith in all the wrong people my friend! Likewise you are trying to use warped space logic to bend our arguments and make them sound confrontational. How many times has Obama said one thing and gone complete 180 degrees on us? Lets see, TARP II, the deficit and spending, and about his Health care? Did it fix ANYTHING?

Did I just hear a resounding NO from the crowd? I THINK I DID!

~ that is a tilde

& that is an Ampersand

AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CONVERSATION! I CAN MAKE A LETHAL WEAPON OUT OF A MICROWAVE OVEN FOR REAL! DO I want to do that? Hell no. I need it as a microwave over. I would rather have warm food than a small underpowered beam weapon that makes people swell up like balloons and cooks their insides! Where is my Particle beam cannon in the 40 Megawatt range? How about my terminator robot? Am I allowed one of those? Come on. Want to see what outclassed police look like?



Red neck Ingenuity! Oddly the only man who dies in this was the driver of the killdozer! This guy would have been more than a match for the LAPD!

Besides, HOW ABOUT MESSING WITH BIO WEAPONS? Why should private companies have the right to make ways of killing us all more efficient than a nuke?

You live in far too much fear my friend! I don't fear the military as much as I fear these career politicians playing god from their seat of authority! There will always be dumbshytes among us and we need to weed them out. It is people like Obama who i am scared of especially when they operate purely on their PERSONAL BELIEF SYSTEM!

OBAMACARE

IS

A

FAIL!

Obama has no sense of moderation nor is he doing ANYTHING about keeping congress focused on their spending habits. Is America in the Black at least in terms of operating? 1 trillion in the red STILL just for this year's budget alone? And while we need him where is he? Kissing ***, going to Hawaii, and taking all kinds of fun trips telling the world how bad we are and we apologize for being such bad people! He should be up congress's *** on a daily basis about our problems. Nope, he can focus more on trying to use executive orders to screw us some more.

And on top of that I DOUBT HIGHLY he was born in America! 2 years to produce his birth records? It only took me two weeks to get mine!

So now what? I am the one needing a tinfoil hat here? My construction hard had it aluminum but not tinfoil, is that good enough? I am not giving my trust up to anyone with as many skeletons hidden in their closet as Obama!


Nukes... Yeah, if you had no idea how to make one you would kill yourself. If you did you would know just how much of a whore it is just to contain the radioactivity let alone handling the fissile materials! And then the effects radiation has on electronics. Hope your bomb don't decide to set itself off! Personally without the lab or containment bunker let alone the deployment site and deployment vehicle I would not want to mess with one. If anything I would MUCH rather figure out how to create a dielectric short between the Ionosphere and the ground in a way I can target any place on earth and dump the biggest lightning bolts on cities people have ever seen. I am talking, "Pay me 10,000 long tons of gold and 10,000 long tons of platinum or watch New York City get erased from the map."
Oh to be able to go Scorpio on the UN! Picking on America and being able to do so with impunity would be a sign to the rest of the world they have NO CHANCE! I think zapping a bunch of refineries and power stations causing a HUGE disaster and then informing someone of my demands would very much have their attention. Especially if I could likewise take out the satellite advantage they have with the same system! I am pretty sure the scale of what I have in mind would cause EMP far greater than a whole bunch of Nukes going off! NICOLAI TESLA THEORIZED ABOUT SUCH A WEAPON AND EVEN HAD EXPERIMENTS TO PROVE ITS VALIDITY!

I can imagine potential threats within the scope of our technology that would make you get fear goose bumps. Hell, how many doomsday nutjobs out there have tried to unleash biodeath on us already? More than our government will admit to! Anthrax is the particular favorite. But Ebola, now we are talking!

In an ideal world we all would just get alone. Not the case! So shall we dance on extremes again?

From Phrases.org

Wear the Trousers:

Meaning

Be in charge.
Origin

To be 'wearing the trousers' is to be the dominant member of a household. In the days that this phrase was coined that person was normally expected to be the husband and father. The only reason to employ the phrase at all was to relate it to a woman, with the implication that the normal order had been overturned and that a woman was dominant over her husband.

The phrase was known in the USA from the late 19th century. It probably originated there as printed reference to it elsewhere don't appear until well into the 20th century. The Manitoba Daily Free Press used the term in November 1880, in an article about the domestic life of White Indians and their squaws - who we would now call Native Americans:

"The squaws are very beautiful and are as fond of ornaments as Indian women usually are. The women are called ladies and they sometimes wear the trousers or boss the white Indians, their husbands."




Now back to me!





Back in the day all the way up until the 1940s it was rare for women in America to wear pants. Back then it was considered completely unfeminine to wear pants. Annie Oaklie performed in a dress when she rode and target shot. Calamity Jane however did wear pants and was considered an enigma among American women.

Likewise men were supposed to be in charge of the household. This assumption was reality back then. Only a rare few women actually did things like Business ownership since many were supposed to be "Housewives."

The phrase also was used reflexively as an insult referring to men with nagging and domineering wives. There are a number of Warner Brothers cartoons from the 1930s and 1940s revolving around this very idiom.

So what was your end solution?

They do indeed, and with a wireless mouse you are in complete control!

Actually that is not true about renting cars. We are talking an exotic track car. And it was a private party arrangement. There is no such thing as RACE CAR INSURANCE.

Example, say I rent a 1,000,000 Veryon and I drive it around for a couple of days. My insurance covers only so much. Now if someone hits me, they are at fault if I am just driving it around. If I wreck it doing over 100? CANCELED AND NOT BEING COVERED! Most insurance policies have some kind of Negligence clause in it. Now say I take the same car on a race track and go crazy with it pushing it to see how far it can go and I blow it up? Now here is where things get real funny, I took it off of the streets and I used the vehicle for something other than transportation.

The exception is that there are insurance companies who will make ridiculous policies but they COST A BUNDLE TO USE! the reason is RISK! Race car drivers are taking a HUGE chance at killing themselves as well as others. Likewise the chances of something bad happening in are exponentially increased. An alternative is posting a Bond which is LIKE insurance but is money held aside "Just in case." One company I know of will rent you any performance car of their stable you want for $5000 a day plus you must post a commensurate bond of equal value to the car! You blow it up the repairs or replacement is covered then. Otherwise be ready for your insurance to either hit you with a financial cap where they will cover their expected limit (per terms of contract with the Insurance carrier) and leave you with the rest of the bill or they will say, YOU WERE RACING, NO WAY! NOT COVERED!

The laws do indeed work differently here than they do in Japan. Like anywhere though you need to be careful. There are a lot of scam artists out there. And retail here can be rather P.T.Barnum, the man who said "there is a sucker born every minuet."

Imagine waking up one morning with pyrokinesis, think the movie Firestarter.

Would I be amused by guns with that power? Watch Firestarter and pay attention to the end! the military was trying to shoot that girl but were they succeeding???

Then guns would be worthless!

I almost thought you were going to say "get someone else to take a picture of you with your own phone camera. The self portraits are cliche`!"

Serves me wrong for assuming.

But you are right, some software really can enhance a photo a lot.

There is a thing about personal responsibility. If you handle something and your break it who is liable?

Example of this, just recently there was a story in the news about some writer who broke a million dollar classic race car and got sued for the $144,000 to rebuild the engine. He blew the engine up racing the car on a track. Now the driver could have tried to say, "hey, I paid for rental time on the car and it broke but since I paid to borrow it no way!" Well pretty much all states in this country don't see it that way. The driver was heard over revving the engine and he blew it up pushing it harder than it was designed for. There is no rev limiter in classic race cars. And the $144,000? Well, the car was a hand built performance car with a custom engine. You are not going to Auto Zone and buying the engine for that particular car. It has to be fabricated.

Most stores have the "break it buy it" policy on their wall on a sign but it is a law in a lot of states too to protect retailers from "careless" customers.

There is a pet store I know if where a kid opened a bag of dog treats and was handing them out to people's dogs but the store manager made the mother pay for the dog treats. She argued to the police she didn't open the bag, her kid did. Well, her kid, her responsibility! She risked being arrested for shoplifting over a bag of dog treats. Yes, Petco allows people to bring their dogs in.

And on one last note, although this does not apply directly, there was a REALLY fat man in Oregon who decided to take a seat right at a buffet table and proceeded to make a pig of himself. When asked to leave he refused. When the police arrived he challenged them to make him move which considering this man was fat like Jabba the Hut, man handling him was out of the question. Well, the police brought in a tow truck, dropped a harness around him and dragged him out the door where he was met by a stun gun and a lot of angry police officers forcing him into a van to take him to jail. He was sued for the food he ate, the damage he done in that restaurant in the course of his removal (the chair ate it bad and he suddenly had a death grip on the buffet table when he realized the rope around him was attached to a truck) as well as a fee for being towed out!

So it is not unusual for retailers to want to protect themselves.

K,

I have always believed in training. I have received training in weapon handling as well. I know a bullet can kill innocent people if I do not use good judgement and prudence especially trying to maintain in a bad situation. Just becasue you can put a shot into somebody does not mean you will not hit someone directly behind them. Even hunting there have been times I had that perfect shot except for a effing house or barn behind the damn deer or a effing herd of sheep or some damn crap. Knowing when NOT to shoot is just as important as knowing HOW to shoot.

Schools, courthouses, BARS, social events like concerts, guns are wholly not necessary. These locations should have their own armed security just the same but with that aside if you posses a legitimate and up to date carry concealed card you can carry anywhere you want including these locations. There is an assumption that the person carrying under such a permit has again been trained and likewise taught the legalities of carrying a weapon as well as common sense like YOU DO NOT BRAG YOU GOT A DAMN GUN!

Now as far as kids getting their hands on guns, outside of illegal sources IF A PARENT IS THAT IRRESPONSIBLE THEY NEED TO GO TO CLASS FOR A WAKE UP CALL IN HOW TO KEEP YOUR KIDS FROM GETTING TO THEM! If I found out it was one of my kids bringing a gun to school, better have an outstanding reason to prevent me from applying the pimp hand liberally! If it was not out of a real fear of something for real ie. showboating I actually do condone a good stiff beating applied to that child! Please do not feed me the Dr. Spock crap. First of all taking a gun of mine without permission? I would be thankful for not having a sinal hemorrhage for an act of such utter stupidity in my location! Now if my kid were indeed afraid someone or a group of someone's were outside of school and actually showing a credible threat to my kid, well, that school is about to meet a bunch of attorneys for one! Then the police get a total ear full. And dad then regulates that threat if the cops act like they can't. Carried by six or judged by 12? I would resent having to carry my child in a casket becasue I trusted the police to pretend they can protect us from anything. If they were able to end the threat though? Cheers to the cops for a change! But if I was a responsible parent and taught my children right I would not have to worry about that, should I? Why should I teach my children to live in fear of anything? Ya know, I know parents who own several long and short arms and they are kept in safes and have gun locks on them. I have even installed a safe or two. But all of them make their kids handle the guns, they go shooting together, and the kids know the realities of what a gun is and what it is for! So you make it sound like ALL CHILDREN GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PISS OF THEIR PARENTS AND SHOW OFF TO THEIR FRIENDS! Dare I say how fallacious that statement really is?

Now if we were living in Bear country, Alaska, my kids would not be allowed out doors without an armed escort. Over 12 they get to carry a gun! But not to school UNLESS FOR SOME UNGODLY REASON THEY HAVE TO GO ALONE! But I would want them to check it in at school and check it out when they come home. Why? Bears like to eat us! Ask an Alaskan sometime about how cuddly the bears there are! There are places you do not go outdoors unarmed PERIOD!

Now saying I have cited an argument for gun control. Nice try... I am more for PHARMACEUTICAL CONTROL! I am for NOT FOR PROFIT INSURANCE AND MEDICINE! I also feel people do have a responsibility to learn to defend themselves and learn gun safety even if they chose not to own one! I believe education can help a lot. But you always have that one Homer Simpson out there screwing everything up. Those are the kinds of shyteheads you have to put a gun to their head and disarm for everyone else's safety when they discover they can turn a TV on and off with it! Frankly they are dangerous behind the wheels of cars, operating heavy machinery, and even trying to open a bag of potato chips!

But here is a dilemma we all have to live with. Our rights are not revokable until we infringe upon the health and safety of others. With that in mind what has been done for the purveyors of dangerous untested drugs dumped into the main stream only to discover the list of bad effects later? What of those entrusted with the public safety and trust who violate that from police officers to politicians?

Now with all this in mind, I AM A GUN OWNER. I do not go everywhere with one. There are times I will carry. I never go into the wilds alone and unarmed at all! I have told a park ranger before I would be dead before I would be disarmed and meant it. Likewise if the need came up and I was facing intrusion you better believe I am going to kill someone, gun, knife or otherwise! I can't shoot them in the back. They never said anything about stabbing them in the back though! If some jerk was bumping his gums with a gun in his hand in the street about how he is going to 1-8-7 me I more than likely would smoke that fucq rather than wait for the police to arrive after the shooting started. If someone brandished a gun on me on the freeway I would drive them into a major pile up or into a pole. My truck can be a weapon too.

Now KNIFE OR SWORD! I have beaten a cop up with the law before becasue of an incident where I was carrying a machete slung on my back riding my bike. I was clearing some savage brush from a back yard. I also had no car so to get to the job I had to ride my bike. That day all I had to do was clear the big weeds. A real no brainer. Use a big blade, chop them down. Pile them up for bagging the next day. Go home. But on the way home. I got pulled over. Then the argument began, sword or knife. Oh, and that whole "Keep your hands on my car," crap. Now here we go, A Gladiolus is a sword and classically the blade length is shorter than 18 inches. It is double edged. A Machete is 20 inches long and has a single edge. It is also considered a GARDEN IMPLEMENT! Said police officer got to see me wave buy buy to him with a 20 inch long blade strapped to my back! So really in all legality I can openly carry a machete. But it is ungainly. Not bad for a knife. Crocodile Dundee would whip out his blade and say, "This is a knife," and I would take out two blades. One short one and a machete. I would likewise say, "The paint brush does not make the artist but when size counts," I would hold up the Machete and say, "Mate, if you measure a man by the size of his knife this is a REAL knife!" And let him appreciate the simple clean lines of a sharpened piece of steel three times bigger than his. But the whole thing is I would prefer to have the smaller blade. Opening envelopes is so much easier with a knife than a key for one! And those stubborn bags of what ever that threaten to shower you in whatever they hold from bursting? NOW FOR CONCEALED CARRY KNIFE LAWS. Here in California the blade has to be under 4 inches. My personal favorite to fight with was two inches long. But with this aside the takes of the wild west were all BULLSHYTE! Only two places were lawless territories for a brief period of time, The New Mexico and Arizona territories! Even then there were rules of conduct in most towns. For instance if we were living in the late 1800s back in that day when I came riding into town I had to check in with the Sheriff's or Marshall's office and check in my iron. I would state my business and would receive a brass 'check in tag' to get my weapons back when I leave. Most of the times cowboys were met as they came into town by the Sheriff and he would make them check in their iron! It was that or spend the night out doors!

Don't take this wrong but I am not about to stand there and let some gorilla twice my size man handle me. I would just assume shoot the bastard if I want to get it over quick. Otherwise I will find another equalizer and saw down a giant. Knife, pipe, rock, spitting in the man's eye before driving my fingers into his face holes and grabbing him like a bowling ball and driving him into oblivion by aiming every punch into the same spot in the side of his head until he is limp and cold, I don't care. I have learned to come in peace and to try and be respectful of others. But I am prepared to make war if I have to. There are BAD people out there who don't care about rules. They don't give a FUCQ about anyone other than themselves. And some of them just want to destroy everything around them. You cannot negotiate with them. If they get the advantage on you they will take it! And a gun is only a means to an end. It is one of the few things that makes all men equal in the end.

There are friends of mine who are trained fighters. I would LOATH to have to fight them bare handed for real. Screwing around play sparring where we are not tossing the real blows at each other is one thing. I am talking men who hit like tanks and have a pain threshold that exceeds mine. I just can shut my pain off (but I pay for that later!) but these are guys who just cannot feel pain normally. If I had to face them knowing I was going to get into it with them I would be doing so from behind a gun and a blade. I am not going to walk into my death. There is no place for Honor in a life or death situation.

People are less likely to act on someone when they know that they will not only get rat packed but likewise they are a lot less likely to act when they know there is a chance they screw with someone half their size they may get killed. Don't think every little person can be a Bruce Lee. He damn near trained from birth and Martial Arts is a calling not a lot of people can answer to. I feel better knowing my mom carries a gun for her protection! My mom is actually a lot saner than I am. But just becasue I am a black sheep doesn't mean I personally am going to just arbitrarily go walking down the street with a gun to make me feel safer. A gun does not make me feel like a bigger or better man. It is a survival tool! In a sane society in armed person would not raise any concern. A person waving a weapon around or in hand though would raise concern. And in a sane world people would politely ask that person what their trip was. If they decided to get weird the police can come clean up after the festivities! If it was just some poor bastard having a bad day then maybe he can be talked down and everyone can breath easier!

In OLD Japan (Pre Meji Era) just becasue you walked upon a Samurai did not mean he was going to just pull a sword and hack into you. There were codes of behavior with a weapon. Now Bandits on the other hand here not hesitant. But if you were unarmed and bandits were robbing you and a Samurai happened by, chances were he would help. They were honor bound to in most cases except for Ronin without land or masters. Even then when they were not traveling in their towns they were barely armed.

Now back to the heart of man. take my gun so they can take up a pipe and use a strength and size advantage on me? please my friend, what backwards world do you live in?

It is tools that make men equal. And Samuel Colt's tool worked real good at that!

Like the many one line responses given by liberals dripping in Ad Hominum?

Here is a Good one!

JERRY BROWN ASSUMES WE ALL WANT TAX HIKES ON US ALL TO PAY FOR HIS SUDDENLY "IN THE BLACK" BUDGET! And the dumshyte doesn't realize he started a stampede of rich people from our state! At least they can run away from the mess the rest of us are stuck with! And I will bet it was these same dumbshytes who voted him in.

Post comments on Yahoo sometime. I LOVE LETTING THE INSULTS FLY THERE. One of my favorites is asking people how they like the taste of Obama's cork in their mouth!

The CONSTANT attacks on the NRA with completely made up "facts."

I could go on but that would be unfair to others here!

Convenient that you forget people used to carry swords instead all the way into the late 1800s. Just becasue there was no such thing as "gun violence" before there were guns does not discount the fact violence occurs with or without guns. And when do you think the first guns were used? Think Ancient China. Strange they had gunpowder but it was Europeans who really ran with the Idea followed by the Ottomans! Now cannon predate Guns. How about cannon based mischief?

I agree there are places guns do not belong. Any REASONABLE OR SANE person understands this. But to have a concealed carry permit trumps that standard. One must be trained and they don't have to tell anyone they are carrying. A responsible individual does not wave a gun around like it were a four to eight inch extension of their penis (if not a penis substitute)!

Now about the law. We have 2200 laws and just have to add more. How many more restrictions will we place before we restrict ownership completely? Where is the line drawn?

I have to say unless we can change the human heart from the top down all the laws in the world and beyond will mean nothing. And as things are we seem to operate by a hypocritical double standard.

It is so easy to blame a tool, not the wielder.

Oh yes, guns are scary. But how about this?

Watch below. This is precious!

http://youtu.be/PZbG9i1oGPA

Blame the tool? Or blame the man? Here is situation where guns didn't matter. But likewise let us look at the realities of this. ANYTHING CAN BE MADE INTO A WEAPON. So do we fear guns or do we stop being afraid of inanimate objects and be more afraid of human nature?

Construction Equipment gone wild!

Anything affecting my trust or my peace of mind! Mistakes are on thing. Repeat bad behaviors? Intentional BS Drama?

Not!
