I had a friend who worked in a factory that built many of our combat helicopters. She said movies always frustrated her, because everyone shot at the cockpit trying to kill the pilot. She said that glass is pretty well armored against small arms fire. And that they should shoot the rotors. Rotors are fragile. If they get damaged, they become unbalanced and will tear themselves apart.
They are limited to $21 million dollars. So what they should do is offer EVERY song and movie for streaming. And for a pretty basic annual fee (say $100/year or less). But in order to purchase the streaming agreement, you must come to Antigua to subscribe. No online sale..
So the idea is to increase tourism. Come to our little island, have a vacation, and get the world's cheapest streaming service. But only available for purchase IN Antigua.
When I first heard of the battery/charging issues. I thought they should contact Tesla Motors and GM's Volt team. Between the three companies they'd work it out.
United States vs. Miller the court (1939) - this is where the courts deemed a shortened shotgun under 18" had no use in a milita not being considered a military type arm. Ironic, that the debate today is "no military arms". That's right, in 1939 you couldn't own it because the military didn't use it. Now you can't own it because the military owns it.
The point being, gun control lunatics will leap on ANY argument or reason, no matter how shallow, to support banning and disarming us.
CASE IN POINT: Military is armed with fully automatics, and I am already limited to a semi-auto.
America is different than Canada. It's warm here...so we actually go out of our houses and spend time out on the streets.
We also have a defective judicial system that keeps putting violent criminals back on those streets (this is the #1 cause of violent crime in America btw)
1) Ban hunting, I don't care, it's got nothing to do with the second amendment.
2) Really, how about the woman who hit a home invader 5 times (5 out of 6 shots far outperforming the so-called trained Cleveland PD btw). The man left the house,got in a car and drove off.
Numerous police incidents point to people being hit with more than 7 rounds and still engaging.
Thanks for proving you're uneducated and lacking of knowledge in this area. I suggest you read, learn, and STFU until you do so.
What about the recent incident where 6 people invaded a home? 6 x 5 = 30 rounds.
Actually, it makes it far far better than France. I am sure the ratio of firearm per capita of NY and France is very different. So France probably has far more murders per gun.
I wager the 750 number does not include suicides, as such it's about 3x the rate of France. Significant, but let's evaluate other factors. U.S. war on drugs & gang violence.
And you'd also need the statistics for all homicides. If NY had 500 non-firearm homicides, and France only a 100...what would that show? A higher tendency toward violence due to other environmental factors.
Yes, but did you read the report that UK has been fudging the numbers for several years?
Also, they report differently than we do. We report every homicide (not even sure if we include suicides), but we include justified homicides, accidental, etc. It is my understanding that they UK does not, and will find excuses for reducing the murder tally from homicide tally.
How about the millions of children killed in nations where the citizens did NOT have arms to protect themselves.
Oh, and let's consider the fact that Newtown was not the worst massacre of children as reported by the media. The ATF/FBI killed more children in Waco, Texas. Just a tid bit for ya...

I believe they're illegal in Afghanistan too.
Drugs are illegal in the US.
Point?

You have a long history of "piracy". Embrace it...

Now that was handled with "tact"... ;-)
Explain to me the similar lifespans of gray parrots and elephants?
What about snakes, and other reptiles that continue growing with age. Do they die younger when young, and live longer when old?
LOL
Okay, idiot modded me down to ZERO, for being right....(and perhaps using the word Moron, but it was used correctly in this context)

Will likely be run over by shareholders befoer that...
The idiotard should have been fired 5 years ago. That would be the dumbest thing Microsoft could do.

Yes it has....
Militias have assembled nationally (War of 1812) and locally (Battle of Athens)

It's the "standing army" part that concerns us.
Actually, S&W probably sells 5x more semi-automatics these days then they do revolvers.
Hey Nebular moron,...

National Guard is NOT a militia.
a) Militia is not standing...
b) Militia is a defensive force only
c) Militia is NOT deployed overseas to attack other nations
National Guard is merely a army reserve branch for the Earth's largest standing army in history.
Why the fuck should that matter. Felons are repeatedly caught in New York possessing weapons and never prosecuted imprisoned.
So why should morally upstanding citizens be prosecuted while the violent predators are let loose?
MOD UP!!!
Actually, it makes it far far better than France. I am sure the ratio of firearm per capita of NY and France is very different. So France probably has far more murders per gun.
So let's look at that stat...
France = 60 million people
New York State = 20 million people

Yes...killing bad guys...
Yes, but crime, assault, murder in rural areas has skyrocketed.

You're talking about that kid who was a drug dealer, broke into houses and stole jewelry, got into multiple fights, right?
That Martin kid?
