"Yep, you're right - It's really important for gun nuts to have the liberty to gun down children at school."
That's really not what anyone said either. If he can use the "straw man" argument then it's fair for me too.
Personal weaponry for self defense and other legal uses is the right of every American. Just because some idiots choose to abuse that right isn't cause to take that right away. Arguing that it'll save thousands of lives is impossible to prove. We never know for sure how many people choose not to kick down a door or drag a woman away from her car because they fear the possibility of armed response. One thing about guns, they are the great equalizer. They make a 5 foot tall 100 pound woman the equivalent of a 6 foot tall 200 pound man. Murder wont go away no matter what you do. It happened for thousands of years before the invention of firearms.
And the number of violent rapes, robberies and other violent crime would skyrocket. Also just because you pass a law to outlaw guns you wont be getting a huge number of them back. Besides the millions of libertarians who automatically would be criminalized there are the hard core criminals who laugh at laws anyway. Why would a sociopath give up his weapon? He acknowledges no law but primal ones anyway. The people who do give up their weapons will be the ones that don't commit crimes and are basically good people.
You are of course correct. You don't know how many police they'll use to overwhelm you but you can bet it'll be a whole bunch and generally there are at least a few in that bunch who are itching to kill someone. Best way to fight the Feds is to hire a lawyer. Litigate.
Police don't shoot people for property crimes. Well....not usually. They shoot people when they go to arrest them for property crimes and they use a weapon to resist. I don't want to kill anyone over property but you have to figure that if someone breaks into a home where people are present that he is prepared to harm those people or he'd never break in with someone home. Most thieves will avoid homeowners but the ones who don't are dangerous.
I knew a guy in Germany that worked on his brother-in-law's bike. After fixing it he took it for a spin around the block and despite the strict German law he decided to do this even though he didn't have a helmet. A woman struck him with her car at low speed, around 30Kph and he fell and hit his head. Severe and permanent brain damage for a stupid mistake. Making it a law didn't prevent it either. I argue with bike riders all the time about helmets. They say they don't save your life at speed but what about the low speed accidents? And at least if you wear your helmet the police have an easier time finding your head after the high speed ones.
The law in my state is that you can not block the intersection. If it's not possible to go through you must wait until it is clear. This is not only the law but common sense. Likewise you can not pull forward at a stop sign if you can not pass through the intersection. The law in this case reflects good judgement and manners as well as safety.
That's interesting. The rule here has always been that you must clear the intersection before the light goes red. I wonder why you'd ever be in the intersection after it has turned red?
I own a pump 12 gauge shot gun for home defense. I've actually had someone break in my house years back. My wife heard noise and woke me up and whispered to me that there was someone in the house. I reached under my bed and pulled my shotgun out. I got out of bed and crept to the bedroom door and could hear someone opening the cabinet in my living room. I jacked a shell into the chamber and shouted "Get the fuck out of here or I'll blow you're fucking head off." The dude tripped over the coffee table (broke one of the legs on it) and scrambled out of the house. The sound of a shell going into the chamber on a pump shotgun is very distinctive. People ask me all the time why I didn't kill him and I wonder if they mean that. I can't see killing anyone if I don't have to. Of course if he hadn't left it probably would have come down to that. When seconds count the cops are minutes away. I have a 30-30 lever action rifle I use for hunting deer and an AR-15 that I target shoot with and basically just keep it because it's cool looking. They are dangerous tools, deadly even and should be respected and treated as such. It bothers me that people aren't held accountable for misuse like they should be.
I used my seat belt before there were laws stating you had to do so. Why in hell would you need such a law in the first place? If someone is so foolish as to think the seat belt is of no use then the sooner he's dead the better. The airbags serve no purpose except to destroy the inside of the car and beat the hell out of the driver and burn him or her. If you don't wear your seat belt of course they may save you. The insurance companies paid lawmakers to write laws forcing manufacturers to install airbags to save all the fools that refuse to wear their seat belts. Next thing you know they'll be writing laws to limit the size of soda cups to keep people from gaining too much weight.
Nothing makes me sadder than idiots who think that people who own guns all want to kill kids at school. If everyone who owned a gun was kill crazy there would be 100 million dead people by the end of the year not 10 thousand or so. If you think getting rid of guns would make all the 10,000 people who will be killed by a gun this year live then you're an idiot too. If I want someone dead I'm fully capable of doing it without a gun. In fact, if I wanted to get away with it I'd never use a gun for murder. Quiet and bloodless is the way to go for getting away with killing someone.
They probably don't worry about guns that are incapable of killing anyone. Technically they are toys and not weapons. To me they look a little too real and I'd worry about a trigger happy cop killing my kid.
If the light goes red before you clear the intersection you ran it. If not you didn't and that's all there is to it. The amber is an alert that the light is about to turn red and you should stop if you can do it reasonably. Obviously if you are only 30 feet from the light and traveling at 45MPH you can't stop without serious issues. Have a little sense.
That's because we spend a tremendous amount of effort and money to save idiots from themselves. Cars have airbags so that the people who refuse to buckle their safety belts wont die. Now we all pay more for those airbags plus the damage they cause when they deploy. The end result of saving men from their folly is to fill the world with fools.
Seasoned hardwood doesn't warp. I've owned an enfield.303 and it's only drawback is that it's heavy. It's super accurate and unfailingly reliable with plenty of knockdown power. I don't like it for deer hunting because it's really a little too much rifle for deer.
It's not that common but of course the ones falsely imprisoned are very upset I'm sure. I will say I told my son to think before he has sex with a woman. If she's a nutcase you're much better off to just jack off.
The problem is what is reasonable. If I'm on a jury and a woman says she was raped and she appears credible then it's very likely I'm going to assume she's telling the truth. If there is evidence that he had or attempted to have sex with her and she says it wasn't consensual then absent some motive for her to lie I will probably vote to convict. A breakup is a likely reason to lie. Hence the doubt.
The chemical as WMD goes far back to the origins of the Cold War. The rule was that launching chemical would be treated just like nuclear and responded to as such.

And you're no exception to that rule.
And a gun is only one type of weapon. A lot of worse weapons are childishly simple to make.
I think being parked in the intersection when a car comes plowing through isn't safe. Law or not.
Let's see, what was he saying there.....

Sounds like a great reality show. That should help NASA fund the trip.
Dead.
If you run out of ammo the enfield makes a hell of a club.
I don't think the Mounties play counter-strike all that much.

I still open a shell and type the program's name. Old habits.....
