Oh if you can do it, that means everyone can. 1.5 seconds is still a lot of time for bystanders to get in and take down the shooter.
So you can get from out of pistol range to me in 1.5 seconds? Oh, and I'm moving too and away from you by the way. Aftering queuing up the mag before firing the last round, of course you couldn't.
What's stopping people from making chlorine gas in a crowded place is: 1. that's more complicated than getting a gun.
The poison I was talking about is about $2 at Dollar General. I mean yeah, there's sales tax on cleaning chemicals, but you can bring change.
Killers typically aren't smart reasonable people.
Tons of serial killers are geniuses.
2. They'd risk killing themselves
They almost always kill themselves.
3. It's not as directed, so they might end up killing the guy next to them, but not the woman they hate across the room.
Okay, I'll give you that one but they could technically lock people in and predict spread volumes, etc. Of course, most shooting sprees are quite random
4. Good ventilation systems.
US public schools have to circulate the volume of air in the school for health reasons every XX amount of hours. I think it's 4 and being really cyclical, it's nowhere near fast enough.
Well, the day we made it in chemistry class, we messed up and I breathed in a good deal of it so I don't quite remember the recipe. I do recall a lot of dissiness and coughing and drinking lots of water but not specifically the chemicals. Look it up then, lol. It was something toxic with two common ingredients. Remember that one King of the Hill episode where Peggy writes a tips article for the paper and then runs out of ideas from Ming so she makes one up about mixing two cleaning chemicals together and then they have to stop it because it turns out that's mustard gas? It's those two chemicals.
I love how people use the "anything can be a weapon argument". What a crock. Show me in the news where someone
Search google for "Darfur" or "Hutu" or "Rwanda." You'll hear about a couple....hundred thousand incidents uysing machetes. And my incidents I mean entire wars.
Not in this state, not in the other 48 states that have one. If people say drunk idiots and people with anger management problems that want to act tough will pull their gun at the drop of a hat, there's 3 problems with that. First, that hasn't happened despite what the media said. Second, ideally for every moron there would be 5 level headed people with guns in the same room. So that means the more "normal" people with concealed guns, the better. And third, I'd like to see someone that drunk get off a clear shot:-P
I'm 25 and a tournment level gamer and I've fired over 100,000 rounds of airsoft BBs in airsoft matches. So yes, I can reload my mag that quickly under pressure.
There's a biiiiiig difference between a 20" machete and a knife. Just ask the Hutu. All sorts of African wars were waged primarily with machetes. Oh and the guy in China must not have seen the no weapons sign. Damn, they need to make the print bigger or something. They just don't seem to be working!
If you want chlorine gas, go in the hot tub, lol. I meant some kinda of toxic gas that I'm pretty sure is mustard gas. All I know is we made some in 11th grade chemistry class as part of an assignment, mixed up the directions a bit as to which container we had to poke a hole and check the scent of and which not, and long story short I got a bit poisoned. Seems like a badly designed experiment if you ask me. Making scented ester formulations and mustard gas in the same ice cube tray type thing and then telling me to smell one, well, they were asking for trouble, lol.
I know, right! The guy at the Sikh temple must not have seen the "no guns sign." Darn, they should have made it bigger.
The only thing a no guns sign would help is if it's bulletproof and removeable from the wall so you could block bullets from attackiung gunmen with it, okay? If anyone in that temple had a gun, the gunman would have had some return fire to deal with. The same goes for the theater shooting. If one single person in that theater had a gun, they'd have saved dozens of lives. I think you just proved my point.
It does. They have triangulating sound-delay gunshot detectors in a lot of major US cities. So unless you use a silencer or shoot during a thunderstorm, they've got you to a 100 foot area or something like that.
I'm all about the retractable batons and unfortunately women aren't big on those because you REALLY need some muscle behind those to do anything. But ranged tasers are illegal for civilians, as are the most effective less than lethal weaponry...but we'll let them have guns!
At my shop I have a 21 round 600FPS gas-powered, full metal BB gun shooting.39g 4.5mm brass BBs. If someone walks in with anything other than a gun, that'll ruin their fucking day, lol. It's slightly louder than some real pistols, the BBs go about an inch into you, its fire speed is ridiculous, and you'll be bleeding badly after getting hit with that. They haven't been known to kill someone though. I got the gun used for $35 too. Now that's safe self defense. Of course high powered BB gun vs actual pistol, not such a great idea without lots of cover or an escape plan + the jump on them so you better be a quick draw. This is why people need ranged tasers.
Apparently calling it a magazine confuuuuuses some people. I guess they think people will assume you could hold bullets in a rolled up copy of Us Weekly.
I can reload a new, full pistol mag in under 1.5 seconds consistently. So, what's the point of that law? And what's to stop a crazy person from walking into a school with a machete, taser, and body armor? Good luck stopping that combo without a weapon. And what's going to stop someone from carrying bleach with chlorine into a crowded place and mixing it, making mustard gas (if I remember correctly). That's like a gun x10.
You either toddler-proof the entire world or you realize you're not going to stop a crazy person from doing stupid shit. There is no solution to mass shooting problems unless you go get some oracles and put them in a pool and form a precrime division...and even that didn't work out, lol.
I'm from Wisconsin where we FINALLY become the 49th state to have a conceiled weapons permit available about a year ago. Now every store that's run by a dumbass has a sign that says "Only criminals are allowed to carry weapons in this store." It actually says "no guns or weapons allowed" but since criminals won't read or respect that, I translated it.
For the record, I don't own a gun. I only carry LTL weapons because they work better at disabling a target and the court case would go a lot better if someone who tries to rob me isn't dead. Also it's easier to get financial compensation from them, lol.
If they think 20 bullets per mag is going to stop someone from going on a shooting spree or that 20 less dead people is acceptable, they're dreaming. I mean I know not one single politician actually believe any of this gun law BS, it's all just for show, but still.
"Something doesn't add up when a multi-billion dollar corporation loses it's value so quickly"
I figured out what it is! It's the apostrophe in the word "it's." It isn't supposed to be there grammatically. Woo, tricky one but I got it.
Why come up with fancy marketing when you can just quote to the media: "Unlike traditional VPN solutions that don't work on mobile phones, this one does." That's some graceful stuff right there.
They seem to suggest a generic reason for carbon nanotubes being perpetual vaporware for that long. I think it's primarily California deciding it definitely maybe causes cancer and preemptively banning it from just about anything.
I'd block all awards to them just based on their horrible streaming data rate. The quality of their HD is a joke. I've seen less compression in a youtube video.
It's not the best use of our slashdot either but here it is. Actually, crushing that gigantic piece of crap that they call a company with the US legal system is like 8 different kinds of awesome and useful. They should go after Paypal and AOL and AT&T for whatever reason they can pull out of their ass too just to get them the hell out of here.
But what if someone on the plane is speaking Jive and nobody hops up and says "oh, stewardess, I speak Jive." Then who's going to translate? Not Watson, that's who.
Oh, I'd have about 150GB sitting there static though from game installs and stuff. Vertex 4 drives will shift the data very rarely when one chip has an 8000 write count and the other has 1 write count from the initial image but that counts as another write. Or it will attempt to. That's over 50% capacity of the drive so there's not enough buffer room to move all of the data. So that results in more frequent shifts and more write operations as it does it fractionally over time. But moving 150GB of data (or a large portion of it) is hard. Eventually, at some point, for performance reasons, it will write to the same location over and over the fuller the drive gets. So that REALLY kills the useable life.
I bet my web browser is 1GB and 100,000 writes of tiny cache files in a day. Then there's large downloads like Nvidia drivers and windows updates. Then every Netflix movie is around 1.1GB and is immediately deleted. I doubt that buffers straight to memory 100% of the time. Then there's system restore points, which it would be stupid to turn off completely. Then there's the fact that anything sensitive I'm working on has to be run through a file-overwriting shredder and sometimes that's a lot of data. Then there's Windows updates. Then there's the pagefile, which I'm not exactly sure how often that's overwritten completely but I think it accurately reflects the data stored in the memory to some degree most of the time. Then there's the hibernation file if it's a laptop. Boom, you just wrote 4GB of data in 10 seconds every time you hit hibernate. It's not unusual to have 50-100GB of writes to a drive on a computer that runs windows and that you actually use. Then since just 1 chip has to fail, not all of them, and wear leveling isn't flawlessly symmetrical, you lose a huge about of your 1402GB/day rate so yeah, it's not going to last the full life of the year.

In case anyone was wondering, most of those aren't true. The car theft one especially is bullshit.
In my professional opinion, it's a paintball field though.
