I have a cousin who got nabbed for rape 2 or 3 times. His grandparents insist 
he's a good kid.
His sister has 4 or 5 kids which are all wards of the state (she'd leave them 
home while she went out on a date for instance) but her grandparents insist 
she's a good mother.

Needless to say we're not close with that branch of the family...

You know the definition of stupid?
Keep trying the same action expecting different outcome.
Law against guns has failed, not hooch laws.
We need to take the issue of guns in our hands - gov't of and by the people.
We can generate ideas how to keep stupid guns out of stupid places.
i.e. dont go to stupid places.  limit our freedoms as a means of
speaking that we do not like their freedoms. commerce can respond by
not allowing their freedoms.  Sure you will object, but we can make
these things happen since we know laws won't happen and we know laws
do not solve the situation.  This is our land, this is our country -
we need to do this since the top down systems can not make this
happen.  It has been done from the bottom up before, i.e. 235 years
ago.

Well, Trevonnte was not confronted by a cop on the bus, but after taking 
possessions from three people, a rider managed to disarm him by sticking 
his finger into the trigger guard, behind the trigger, to prevent 
Trevonnte from being able to fire the gun.  Then this guy and some 
others beat the crap out of him.  Trevonnte then smashed a cop car 
window after he was bundled up to go off for counseling.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=qP6gGjuNRnc

I am sorta wondering why the disarmer did not let Trevonnte have it with 
his own gun, but I guess this is a more orderly way to deal with it.


Trevonnte did not notice that the bus was a gun-free zone.

Relatives of the 19 year old told media that /he is a good kid/.

A coupla years ago a kid drove a Toada into a big oak tree up the road.  
The paper had some pics up for an hour or two, and it looked survivable 
-- air bags went off, the car was not that badly smashed.  But I was 
told by my buddy the fire commissioner (trucks responded) that he drove 
straight into it, no seatbelt, high speed, to kill himself.  Was sad, he 
was like 19.  I think there are quite a few like that, you can sorta

How many of the other 10K are justifiable homicides?  That would include
self defense and justifiable shootings by law enforcement or civilian.
Including those numbers in the 10K would not give an accurate picture of the
social value vs. the social cost of firearms.

The removal from society of someone killed in justifiable self defense or
other justifiable homicide has not only saved the life of the shooter, but
potentially saved some other lives in the future that could have been put at
risk by the deceased.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: FYI - sensible Oz gun laws

2013-12-18 Thread Scott Ritchey

It might help, but the greatest positive value of firearms is the prevention
of death or injury when nobody is actually killed or injured.  It's very
difficult to quantify things that don't happen.  Data I've seen indicates
that guns prevent crimes between 1 and 5 times as often as they are used to
commit crimes.  

The recent mall murder in NJ (or daily murders in any Mexican border town)
show, yet again, that criminals can always obtain firearms, regardless of
laws.

Here's a breakdown, somewhat dated (2001).  I think the fireatm rate is now
down to 50%.

  Rate Per
  Number  100,000 % of Total
Firearms..16,8695.9.55.1
All Other Methods.13,7534.8.49.9
Hanging or Suffocation.6,1982.2.20.2
Poisoning..5,1911.8.17.0
Falls6510.2..2.1
Cutting / Piercing..4580.2..1.5
Drowning.3390.1..1.1
Fire.1470.1..0.5

Two USAF officers I worked with committed suicide. One hanged himself and
the other stabbed himself. Shooting may be the most common method, but
certainly not the only way.

semi-autos are not 'outlaws', however you need to have a very good 
reason to own one.
And no, needing a semi-auto in case the king of England decides to 
invade is not a good enough reason.
Actually thinking about it, you have lot have gun restrictions, far as I 
know you can't own a full auto rifle there.

An individual in the US can own a full auto with a proper permit. An 
individual can also own a full auto without a proper permit, but that 
would be improper.  Converting various semis to full auto is a 
relatively simple procedure with the (im)proper part.

This just so Hendrik can enjoy what another group I belong to does about 4
times a year.

Every weapon you see in the video is FULL AUTO and FULLY LICENSED to
private citizens.

The cheapest entry into this ownership is in the $5,000 dollar range.. the
price only goes up from there.  There are a couple of quad 50's that cost
about $6,000 a minute to shoot, just for the ammo.

It's not for the Faint of Wallet but it is one heck of a lot of fun. As
you will see demonstrated, ownership of fully automatic weapons is
perfectly legal in USA. It is carefully controlled, expensive, and requires
demonstrating you are responsible member of society however.

 that moved to CSpgs.  FBI would consult him.  He died several years
 ago.  He had a large gun shop out there in the moose pasture east of
 town.  We were further east and then south at Drennan.  Best water in
 the world was from 100 ft deep well in Black Squirrel alluvium.

Out west, it is hard not to be of that ilk.  But rather than geology,
the issue was water and water rights.  It was shown that water was a
better investment than gold.  The biz that paid bills when I was
employed intended to use water that had already been used once, use it
again as a resource to irrigate land and crops.  Waste is a resource
out of place.

Actually thinking about it, you have lot have gun restrictions, far as 
I know you can't own a full auto rifle there.


Not in Washington.  Ten miles away, in Idaho, you can.
However, a cannon is legal in WA, but not ID.  Go figure.

This just so Hendrik can enjoy what another group I belong to does about 4
times a year.

Every weapon you see in the video is FULL AUTO and FULLY LICENSED to
private citizens.

The cheapest entry into this ownership is in the $5,000 dollar range.. the
price only goes up from there.  There are a couple of quad 50's that cost
about $6,000 a minute to shoot, just for the ammo.

It's not for the Faint of Wallet but it is one heck of a lot of fun. As
you will see demonstrated, ownership of fully automatic weapons is
perfectly legal in USA. It is carefully controlled, expensive, and requires
demonstrating you are responsible member of society however.

Grant...


I had a chance to put a full belt through a WW I water cooled BAR a 
few years ago, courtesy of Brownells.  The belt cost $70.   It was a 
blast.  Those mormons figured out how to off people efficiently.

That wasn't a BAR--it's air-cooled and feeds from a box magazine.  Maybe a
Browning M1917?

Sure we have a ship load of nanny rules but the gun ones are pretty

I am not going to get into an argument about it, as the article pretty

Somebody actually AGREES with Rebecca Peters?
Sorry, don't need that sort of discussion here, but in certain circles she's 
thought of as one of the planet's village idiots, sort of like a female Mike 
Bloomberg.

What I'd like is to see idiots like that strapped to chairs, 
high-powered headphones strapped to their heads, and the text of the 
Second Amendment alternating with the phrase WHAT PART OF 'SHALL NOT 
BE INFRINGED' DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!  blared non-stop into their

they have liquify under the strain...
