Bigfatbillsfan Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) In this case, the gun owner paid the ultimate price for being sloppy. As well as a 26 women and children. That's absolutely true if we choose to eliminate every single variable she could have placed under her control other than her ownership of guns. Which is to say that it isn't true at all. Really? You think you can control every single variable under your control as a gun owner? Edited December 20, 2012 by Bigfatbillsfan
B-Man Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Gallup Poll: Americans Not So Jazzed About Gun Control. “Americans are most likely to say that an increased police presence at schools, increased government spending on mental health screening and treatment, and decreased depiction of gun violence in entertainment venues would be effective in preventing mass shootings at schools. Americans rate the potential effectiveness of a ban on assault and semi-automatic guns as fourth on a list of six actions Gallup asked about.” .
3rdnlng Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 So, if I have a loaded 38 in my nightstand, another in a kitchen drawer and a shotgun in the hall closet, but I live alone and have ADT, am I wrong?
Adam Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 So, if I have a loaded 38 in my nightstand, another in a kitchen drawer and a shotgun in the hall closet, but I live alone and have ADT, am I wrong? And you just posted that on a message board. Stay safe, man. I mean that.
3rdnlng Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 And you just posted that on a message board. Stay safe, man. I mean that. Hypothetical dude. I don't have any weapons, the alligator filled moats take care of my problems without me even knowing about them, except for the times the outlet gets plugged up with bones.
Adam Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Hypothetical dude. I don't have any weapons, the alligator filled moats take care of my problems without me even knowing about them, except for the times the outlet gets plugged up with bones. Hahaha. Try piranhas next time!

They know better than we do about what's best for us. Hypothetical dude.

Just use a removable mesh screen. You can send your illegal Mexican pool boy to empty it for you once per week. If he gets eaten, that's two problems solved with one gator-filled moat.

B-Man Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Sen. Dianne Feinstein Has Concealed Carry Permit. ...........................Well, sure, because her life is important. Not like yours. Let’s recap her own testimony from 1994: “I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out I was going to take them with me.” .

Just Jack Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Madcap, that's kinda silly. The reason you don't worry about car or plane accidents is because they are both heavily regulated industries. Cars and planes are safer and safer -- thanks to increases in safety regulation, production standards, and technology.

Coach Tuesday Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why anyone would need more than one or two handguns to "defend their household." If that's the rationale, it compels a limit on the number and type of gun folks can have. And another thing, I am sick and tired of the "law abiding citizen" characterization/argument. It's weak as hell. The fact that most people can engage in an activity without harming others has never been an argument against any law. I'm sure many people can take drugs, stockpile explosives and dangerous animals, and drive drunk without "harming" anyone. But all of that stuff is and should be illegal. We regulate activities because of the costs and benefits. Edited December 21, 2012 by Coach Tuesday
