  1. Fear mongering my arse. They warned the world. Governments around the world pooh poohed it.

    You have refugees rioting in Europe, have refugees refusing to get of busses because its to cold, its to far from a city, their rooms dont have TV's. How are people to take this ? Giving these people places to live and they are whining its not a 5star hotel with pool, jacuzzi, hot tub and full cable.

    Of course they would claim it. Even if they didnt do it.

    They did warn the world they had ISIS operatives mixed in with refugees. So its not truely surprising.

  3. About as good as msnbc ?

    And stupid kids dont learn unless taught. A slap on the wrist and "dont do it again" does not teach any highschool kid.

    So who is more stupid the teacher for over reacting(when his older sister was suspended for making bomb threats) or the kid for not doing as he was told and causing a commotion in the school.

    He did get a pat on the head. From his engeneering teacher. Who further told him to put the thing in his locker because other teachers may over react not knowing what it was. And he ignored him and was playing with it and setting it off in his next class.

    there is more to target shooting than what they do in the Olympics.

    what they do in the Olympics is a very small part of actual target shooting.

    then you have some ignorant friends. go and talk to any other hunters. it is quite relaxing sitting out waiting for the animal to walk past. i don't care if i get a deer or not while hunting. its nice sitting out in the forest. getting a deer is a bonus, as it gets me and my family good meat for months.

    just because YOU don't think something cant be relaxing, really doesn't mean squat, im pretty sure there are things you do i don't like but would i take it away from you ? no.

    You may want to dig into the UK and Australia. Their gun banning has done nothing. They sacraficed some gun deaths for hugely increased violent crime.

    Look up ipsic, cqb, 3gun. The sights are of course sighted in. But the fact of the matter is, you dont aim at a close range it is more a point and shoot. The only thing that makes a target gun unsuitable for a ccw is the amount of stuff tacked onto it. Where it is sighted in means little.

    And in your first sentance you come up WRONG. Target shooting and hunting are about relaxation.

    Something similar to your statemwnt would be. Knives are only made for cutting and stabbing not for relaxation. But of course they are just a tool used in a relaxing activity.

    Blaming a tool for the actions of a person is idiotic.

    And for the record target shooting and hunting are quite relaxing activities.

    You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

    Hand gun target shooters shot from 5 yards to 40 yards. So its not set for any specific yardage.

    And there are some criminals much worse than a speeder. Im not willing to risk a pedophile out on the streets that is likely to reoffend.

    I find it truely offencive that the same people saying criminals always need a second chance are the first ones to be screaming for firearms to be banned because legal gun owners are just one step from being a mass murderer.

    The problem there is, there are some people that are not able to be rehabilitated.

    The question becomes, how do you tell which person is able to be rehabilitated, and those that arent. Are you willing to risk other peoples lives and well being over a convicted killer, rapist, pedophile, etc ?

    The vast majority of gun deaths in the united states are criminals either criminals shooting criminals, police shooting criminals or legal gun owners shooting criminals. Mass shootings on a whole are a statistical anomaly.

    It also likely leads the world in mental health issues and consumption of narcotics to "help" depression.

    The united states has a problem, but it isnt guns. Its mental health and gangs. Mass shootings would plummet with better mental health.

    Sorry, but you will not convince me that it should not be the womans choice. It is her body. At the point where abortions are allowed the fetus is nothing more than a parasite. It cant survive without the host.

    Once science gets to a point where the fetus can survive at that age and be implanted into one of you bleeding hearts. Then you can complain about abortion.

    And no form of contraception is 100% effective. Do t say abstinence that is a life choice.

    My second son made it through a condom that broke, wife on the pill, and the morning after pill. For some women having a child is not an option, and shit happens some times.

    There doesnt need to be more unwanted children in the adoption files than there is. Or kids growing up in homes that cant afford them and live off welfare for the rest of their lives.
