It should be noted that the old facial recognition software worked just fine. It was the fancy new computer based facial recognition software that failed.
The difference is that their gun control is actually gun prohibitions, backed by confiscations and in the less civilized places, searches that would make U.S. 4th Amendment supporters recoil in horror.
You want gun control that will work? Here it is: House to house, door kicking in search and confiscation of ALL firearms or any kind.
Is that what you want? Would you tolerate the wholesale evisceration of the 2nd and 4th Amendments so that you can feel just a bit safer? What other civil rights would you be willing to do away with?
No political contributions allowed from corporations.
If you want to go down that path and be fair, make it so no contributions can come from any legal entity, Corps, Unions, Associations, etc. Only individuals who pay taxes (local or national) AND all contributions are subject to audits...no collecting money from others and submitted by a single person. Only this will prevent coercion on an individual by a group. Oh...and Full Disclosure no matter how small the contribution.
I am actually very proficient with handguns already, having participated in several of the exact same competitions you mention.
But you are correct that if you can't handle the tool, then you are worse than useless.
I think that in Texas, if the shooting is justified you are indemnified against civil actions. Don't take my word for it though. I suppose that's something I"ll learn about in class.
It may be tenuous regarding the decline in violent crime it is a slam dunk refutation of the assertion that CCW laws would result in a Wild West shootout. It's never happened. Precious few CCW holders have ever been convicted of a gun crime either (far below the rate of the general population).
Unless you have been to a concealed carry class, you should just STFU.
A MAJOR part of the class is about protocols, how to interact with LEOs, how to decide when you should become involved, what to do when LEOs do arrive, etc.
Conceal Carry is about protecting yourself, not being a vigilante. Turn of Rachel Madow and Chrissy Mathews and find out for yourself.
There was a news story about some military unit that ran the full marathon in full gear/with rucksacks.
They finished towards the beginning of the race and were some of the people seen running towards the blasts and removing the barricades to let the first responders get to the victims.

Hello! The Boston Bomber is being charged in Federal Court, not in GitMo.
Pay attention much?
NO, spending went up. Just not by as much as the wanted.
They got their increases...where are the cuts?
"...predictable junk food..."
Fixed.
In the meantime businesses keep coming here, leaving your state with the takers leeching off of your taxes.
Probably only for Licensing Verification.
Can't have anyone pirating your $10,000 a client software.

That's as dumb as Janet Napolitano whining that the Drudge Report is not credible when all he does is link to stories in the national and local media.
His and your assertions that having a firearm makes you less safe lies in the face of empirical evidence.

I bet you wish you were capable of getting a hard on

30% Overrated and 20% troll.
Who knew the feminists had Slashdot accounts?

Someone told me about that very same experiment, except that all the armed individuals shot at the guy and he went down in a blaze of semi-gloss.
Guess we need to find that "Someone" and get the story straight.

Conceal Carry isn't about being a hero. It's about being a survivor.
Who said anything about Law Enforcement? A CCW is about personal protection when LEO isn't around.
I don't advocate just laying down and taking it
You just did that very thing.
Deliberately blowing up Tits is a crime against nature.

Time to get my Concealed Carry Permit.
Won't stop a bomb, but would be pretty handy if people like these two chuckle heads decide to start shooting things up instead of blowing them up.
Turtles, all the way down.
