meazza Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Well, that's not good enough. It is outrageous that people are denied the right to effectively defend themselves and others when something akin to this happens. A madman knows he can get control over an area and no one can stop him. I don't advocate the OK Corral, but fer Christ' sake! Police, fully 90 percent of the time show up after the crime is committed and/or the perp is gone --- that includes property crimes and violent crime. After this state had a couple of home invasions where families were killed, more people have been getting permits and taking marksmanship classes. You can only hope that the Harper govt ends the abject failure that is the handgun ban (a ban that came after the Canadians required registration but said there wouldn't be a ban --- make no mistake, America, your rights are taken away in small steps). Only thing it does is make the criminals more brazen. I don't think he has enough control to get anything concrete actually done and the rest of Canada that is liberal. Then you come to Quebec where they oppose everything in Ottawa strictly due to language issues. The only reason imo that conservatives were elected was because of the scandal during Chretiens rein in office.
Chef Jim Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 What in the world is that supposed to mean? Obviously you don't wander over to PPP very often. And because of that, my opinion of you was just raised several notches.
Mark Vader Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Obviously you don't wander over to PPP very often. And because of that, my opinion of you was just raised several notches. I do like discussing politics, but I do not have the stomach for the PPP board. I'm glad that my stock rose with you.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 What is it with buses? My wife's story: One time on a Greyhound from BFLO to Champaign, IL years ago, my wife tells of a bizzaro story of this Spanish speaking man... In a blinding blizzard down I-57 (transfer was in Chicago), this man starts flipping out... Demanding that the bus stop and let him off... All in a mix of Spanish and English... The guys eventually calms down and the bus continues to creep along in the snowstorm... The man takes a seat, you guessed it... The empty seat next to my wife (finace at the time)... And begins to clean his shoes! WTF? I think my wife said that she was in shock more than anything... Gotta admit that this recent "bus story" takes the cake though. With this recent story... Why didn't somebody jump him when the knife went "into" his victim... But, then again?... Most were probably in shock...
John from Riverside Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Every time my wife asks me to buy her a new gun, or taser, etc for her collection I remember news like this..... And pull out my wallet.
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Every time my wife asks me to buy her a new gun, or taser, etc for her collection I remember news like this..... And pull out my wallet. I got to ask. How many tasers does she now have...in her collection?
Chef Jim Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 What is it with buses? The people that ride them maybe. Nothing against your wife of course.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 The people that ride them maybe. Nothing against your wife of course. I told her the same thing!
lilannie Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I believe that the great majority of people who take the time to apply for a concealed carry permit and spend $500-$1000 on a firearm take the time to practice and would be smart enough to make sure they have a clear shot. Contrary to what you would like to think, we aren't all trailer park hicks who are just lookin to shoot somethin up. Nobody is forcing you to help someone out in a deadly situation, but some people would like that option. No? Do we really need people like these carrying a gun with them EVERYWHERE they go???
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 No? Do we really need people like these carrying a gun with them EVERYWHERE they go??? I can't view these at work, but I can imagine what you are using to catagorize a few million people in the US. Like most intelligent people I try to base all my important life decisions on Youtube clips.
geggytah Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I didn't think the story could get worse, considering a guy decapitated another human being, but the original stories when used the word "carved" I didn't consider that he was carving AND EATING! sick man, just sick... CNN.com Link from the article "A police officer at the scene reported seeing the attacker hacking off pieces of the victim's body and eating them, according to a police tape leaked on the Internet." I have no real desire to listen to this police tape, but I am sure someone will find this recording on the internet.
geggytah Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 link didn't work for me, so here is the copied and pasted version http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/05/canada...g.ap/index.html
Alaska Darin Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 No? Do we really need people like these carrying a gun with them EVERYWHERE they go??? Yes we do. Millions of Americans carry legal, concealed weapons everyday. Friggin' whiny liberals.
justnzane Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Yes we do. Millions of Americans carry legal, concealed weapons everyday. Friggin' whiny liberals. Hey not all liberals are for weapons control. Personally, I still wish that duels were legal , but instead we have pussified our country to the point where you can't even have a fight in school without a cop intervening at some stage. I remember being able to slam this one kids head against a bus after he tried to jump me, and he got in trouble for starting the fight and I got no consequences. Even for self-defense the kid will earn a mandatory 10 day suspension nowadays
lilannie Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Yes we do. Millions of Americans carry legal, concealed weapons everyday. Friggin' whiny liberals. Waaaaaaaa I can't carry my gun into the Dairy Queen waaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! By the way you do realize that guns are a subconscious phallic symbol right??????
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Waaaaaaaa I can't carry my gun into the Dairy Queen waaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! By the way you do realize that guns are a subconscious phallic symbol right?????? Actually we can carry our guns into the Dairy Queen. I wish I could say that your ignorance on the subject was surprising. You do know that playing psychiatrist on a web board is a sign of being a giant douche right?
Alaska Darin Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Waaaaaaaa I can't carry my gun into the Dairy Queen waaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! By the way you do realize that guns are a subconscious phallic symbol right?????? Ooh, more liberal "intelligence". And I live in Alaska. I can carry my gun pretty much everywhere. Without any permit or training. Welcome to freedom. Why don't you go back and tell the people who used their own weapons to found this country that they did it using "phallic symbols"? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why you're "lil" annie.
lilannie Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Actually we can carry our guns into the Dairy Queen. You do know that playing psychiatrist on a web board is a sign of being a giant douche right? No it's not, going to Dairy Queen with a gun makes you a giant douche, and hijacking a thread about a horrible crime in a Canada to spout off about American gun politics makes you the biggest douche.
lilannie Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Ooh, more liberal "intelligence". And I live in Alaska. I can carry my gun pretty much everywhere. Without any permit or training. Welcome to freedom. I don't blame you then, I mean at any moment an eskimo can come out of nowhere and beat you with their snowshoes!
