    Fox News / Cavuto discussion of guns on campus

    irrelevant. It was a sneak attack. Action beats reaction. We the law abiding will suffer losses from illegal and cowardly attacks. The important lesson is to learn how to reduce those losses in any statistically significant way. Deterrent is a step in the right direction. But remember...

    it's an amusement park the animals will be safely behind cages, so no weapons. See the sign at the metal-detector gate. :neener:

    Had my 2nd Amendment Rights suspended today.

    Thumper: any updates? I've wondered if detectives with fraud units might be interested in this bipolar, totally disabled teacher. Still, I myself would try to move on, seeing as how all of us are linked in this big web of cause and effect. Justice is over-rated. Learning to be happy with...

    Eye, ear protection and -- amazingly -- shoes!

    thank you Oleg and Correia I understand the reference now. And I also see and resent the same trend. It's like some posters are playing a one-ups-man game to see who can out bash the most. Here's a challenge: when was the last time any of us in this thread went on a ride-a-long...

    Universal citizenship a bad idea?

    are we still talking a capitalist democracy? Because that's exactly what we're discussing here. Capitalists would rank according to the amount of income as a measure of success and therefore influence. A democracy has to do with franchise. Put the two together, you can see the conclusion...

    Eye, ear protection and -- amazingly -- shoes!

    I still don't get it ... Oleg: I missed the connection between the thread title and the picture. Safe shoes and Iceman? Correia: I also missed the point of the flammable back and forths about cop bashing. I thought Oleg's posters usually have to do with "when government runs amuk, who...

    How tough is a Mercedes-Benz? (Yes, it's gun-related!)

    sure it's faked. Still fun. My tip off was the gasoline fireball coming from the sticks of dynamite.

    U.S. News & World Report on gun control

    WethePeople: consider this: yelling "fire" in a crowded theater should not enjoy special-protected status as free speech. What's wrong with that statement is the hidden assumption that said speech must first be sanctioned by some "government" other than the group of citizens in that...

    U.S. News & World Report on gun control

    just sent my letter to the editor Bravo! "Ordinary law-abiding people are pretty trustworthy." I just read "Feeling Safe Isn't Safe" By Michael Barone Posted 4/29/07 This article/opinion is reasoned, fair, and well-articulated. Light years ahead of other news-magazines. I have to...

    Pro-gun lobby strengthened following US campus shooting

    The tone is condescending at best This section particularly bothers me. The tone in sentence one suggests the general population (and by extension, the writer) is disappointed at the lack of outcry. and that the americans are somehow crazy for the lack of out-cry against [inanimate] guns...

    Immediate defense

    okay, I'll play you caught me without my firearm, and my knives are not within reach. But, I have four projectiles - 3 TV remotes plus one coffee mug - one club - tall table lamp - and one shield - my laptop. Hope that these will allow me to fight my way to my kitchen (10 feet away) and...

    Iran seizes 15 British Marines

    not about guts The problem is with doing things half a$$ed. The misguided people who want peace by tying up their warriors. Karma-ically what we fight for in this life isn't important. And if we (or the brits) level a city or two, those acts of retaliation come back to haunt us. So the two ends...

    Just got off of a Jury...

    It is _not_ fashionable to beat jury duty. Do not listen to the scoundrels/comedians who scoff at the people "who can't even get out of jury duty." The scoffers are every bit a part of the problem in our legal system as the oft-denigraded lawyers or the corrupt judges. The next time a scoffer...
