As were the two dogs. Now I don't know about you, but after two dogs and an angry dude charging at me, I'd be very inclined to fire especially if the warnings I gave (including a warning shot) to not only control the dogs but also stop charging were ineffective. An angry dude charging at me...

Bullet construction/type most certainly affected the outcome of the Fish case, at least, according to one of the jurors on the actual trial: Now, does this mean that just because you use hollow points you'll be found guilty? Of course not. But the fact is that the use of a hollow point, and...

Why people go to Hollywood and the AAP for gun advice is mind boggling. Right back at you Mr. Woolston. And, if anyone is interested, here's the icing.

Well I'm not sure, but either way, they're two separate issues. The Kellerman study itself is easy to debunk. The actual argument (for which I think there is no data to support either side) is more conceptual and people could easily be convinced that it's true (even though it isn't).

The Kellerman study was trash, no doubt. And if that's what the OP is referring to, that's easy enough to debunk. Just get the numbers from the study and show the class how the "statistics" were derived. But I was under the impression he was actually referring to weapons literally being turned...

I wouldn't try to attack the argument directly in this case. I'm not sure there's any hard data to analyze in the first place. Instead, I'd try something like this: "If a gun is more likely to be turned on the owner than used defensively, I have a great idea. Let's arm all criminals. That...

We're "missing" your main point because these weapons are NOT inherently illegal, and obtaining them requires lengthy background checks, fingerprints, registration, and a hefty fee. In other words, the main point you think we're missing is being missed because it's flat out wrong and untrue...

Simple. "If you have a problem with hunting, I hope you're a vegan. Because if you're not, how do you reconcile your belief with the fact that other people get your meat and meat products by killing animals? You have a problem with pulling the trigger and killing an animal for food, but you...

How is it "self serving," exactly? Well, I'm not restricting anything to this encounter. I was only using it as an example because it gave the me the idea to ask the questions I'm asking now. I agree it's likely that he "harassed" someone, given the vague and broad nature of the term, but if...

No kidding... First of all, to be clear, I'm not talking about a traffic stop or a defensive shooting (that goes to everyone). I'm talking about a situation where you are in public doing something (something not illegal mind you) and you are confronted by officers because someone else called...

So as I was browsing the web, I came upon an interesting youtube video from the Ridley Report. Though I doubt he was accosting children, we don't have all the background information. Nevertheless, in the end, officers were called in and they asked questions. Though I wouldn't have acted as...

That's irrelevant. Almost every individual expense is pocket change when government is concerned because it's so bloated. And quite frankly, pocket change adds up if you have billions of pennies (which is the case with government). I mean, what's a million or ten here in a multi billion dollar...

Obviously this author is more than a little confused. SCCC does not focus on the idea that a carrying a gun will mean you will never have to use it. That would be patently absurd because a gun (ie. an inanimate object) is not a magic talisman that automatically makes you safe. Similarly, a no...

Obviously, Secret Service Agents wouldn't be able to tell who's the good guy and who's the bad guy, and would begin spray firing from the hip causing massive casualties and blood to run on the streets like a shootout at the OK Corral with MACHINE GUNS. Duh.

Very simple. Because I would be paying for my M2. The police, on the other hand, are using the public's money, OUR money, to pay for theirs. Government agencies should be responsible with the public's money, and not waste it on things they don't need. And a local police agency does not need an...

Furthermore, suppose we don't have an ideal situation and the backstop isn't safe. Suppose you're in a crowded classroom and a gunman barges in and starts randomly shooting people. Given your position, and the high likelihood of hitting an innocent bystander, I suppose many here would crucify...

I can't believe some people here would have hung me, morally and legally, if I was in a justifiable shoot and my round went through the BG, hit the brick wall behind him, hit the floor, and ricocheted into an innocent bystander's femoral artery and killed the bystander. Yes, I fired the round...

First of all, the Bill of Rights limits government, not private, action. Second of all, if I didn’t, I suppose you wouldn’t mind if anyone walks into your home right? After all, we have the right to peaceably assembly, and so long as I’m being peaceful, I take it that you will let them enter...

You should have talked about this, you know, time, where uh, guns didn't exist. Contrary to popular belief, there was a time in recorded human history where guns weren't around. If, as these gun control advocates argue, the world really would be a better place without guns, then the...

Is that because that's how long it takes you to load 150 mags or so for "testing"? :neener:
