    The Second Amendment was Ratified to Preserve Slavery - Rebuttal

    He probably does, but only because he functions in transmit mode exclusively.

    The Second Amendment was Ratified to Preserve Slavery - Rebuttal

    Good point. There is unintended irony in the URL that contains the article -- "truth-out.org."

    The Second Amendment was Ratified to Preserve Slavery - Rebuttal

    I noticed the thread concerning the article ( http://truth-out.org/news/item/13890-the-second-amendment-was-ratified-to-preserve-slavery ) referencing the law journal article by Carl Bogus was locked. However, since that article is getting lots of eyeballs around the web, I thought I'd post a...

    Diamondback6, is she for banning all guns or "just" certain semi-automatic firearms? I'd base one's approach on that answer.

    Rifle behind every blade of grass

    Sprice, That's a totally bogus quote. Hope you'll remove it from your sig. http://www.guncite.com/gc2ndbog.html

    H&K USP 45 - Anyone make a .22 LR Conversion Kit?

    Interesting. I didn't know this... idiots...err, that seems shortsighted to me. If it hadn't been for an Airsoft version of an HK USP 45, I wouldn't own one now. Several years ago, I was complaining to one of my kids about my Glock 21 not fitting my hand very well. The kid handed me his...

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    That's funny. Hadn't heard that one. That'd be a heck of a lot of bodies! ;)

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    I understood and yes I read the link. However... It seems the original poster's purpose in posting all this stuff is to claim that the "Japanese murder rate is actually 2 to 3 times higher than is actually reported." And by implication that their rate isn't that different from ours. So if...

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    This thread is getting downright silly. 900,000 missing in the U.S. according to this link: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/criminal_mind/forensics/americas_missing/2.html A world-wide conspiracy is clearly suppressing kidnappings and murders by extra-terrestrials.

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    I think our discussion is off-topic, but mildly interesting nonetheless. Americans in the 5-14 age range commit suicide at a rate of .7 per 100K population versus .4 for Japan. However the next bracket up, it's 14 in Japan versus 10 for the U.S. In the 50's thru the 70's the U.S. rate for the...

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    I've already shown this is BS. If you add-up ALL of the suicides in the age appropriate categories, the impact on the Jpnz homicide rate is negligible. (Whether all suicides are recorded in the context of fireflyfather's post, is a different claim altogether.) Further even if Kopel's claim were...

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    It's not necessarily BS. Suicides among that age bracket are probably, legitimately, very low. The number jumps to 1848 in the next age bracket.

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    Based on that link you posted, there is certainly evidence that not all murders are reported. However it is obvious that murder/suicides are certainly not reported as suicides. Or if they are, it's still a negligible percentage of homicides. It also remains to be seen whether the non-reporting...

    Japanese Murder Rates...More complicated than I thought!

    I'll give you credit for trying to do research before stating the above as fact, because according to what I have read, I believe the above is abject nonsense. The above was taken from "The Homicide Drop in Postwar Japan" by David T. Johnson in Homicide Studies, Vol 12, No. 1 (Feb. 2008)...

    FBI crime statistics must be taken with a dose of salt.

    This I gotta see. Color me extremely skeptical. You did say "far higher." I hope you're not going to trod out the nonsense that Jpnz count family murder/suicides entirely as suicides.

    Military and Off-Base Private Firearms

    Sad... Interesting article from June of this year: "Memo from Commander Causes Uproar Among Gun-Owning Soldiers" at http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/display_exclusive.html?id=5465 An excerpt: We have some really warped people at Homeland "Security."

    anyone else in trouble with the wife for spending?

    I put every expense I possibly can on credit cards. Of course, I only use cards that pay back 1-3% of purchases. Plus there's the 20/25 day float (for even a tad more pay back). Of course I pay them off every month. With a modicum of self-control, credit cards sure beat cash. Except for...

    2nd Amendment Question

    This appears to be a link to Graham's original article in 1938, although there are grammatical errors in the text (obviously either the original was poorly edited or this page poorly transcribed): http://section520.org/conspiracytheory.html
