Aside from the arson, every other act is one on one. While a hand gun, or assault rifle can engage multiple target per magazine.<br /><br />Keep in mind, a hand gun is designed, and well designed at that, to shoot/kill/and or maim humans. It will do crap as a back up hunting piece. You and your Desert Eagle will just annnoy the f**k out of that grizzly bearing down you as fast as a horse. But point and shoot at a human target like its designed for and you'll win every time....AllanAllan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757239604220478557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-1655068414794851052012-07-27T11:47:19.962-04:002012-07-27T11:47:19.962-04:00quote [sic] Remeber death mayhem loss of life vers...quote [sic] Remeber death mayhem loss of life versus a handgun!<br /><br />Remember death mayhem loss of life versus a club!<br />Remember death mayhem loss of life versus a knife!<br />Remember death mayhem loss of life versus a intentionally set fire!<br />Remember death mayhem loss of life versus a bomb!<br />Remember death mayhem loss of life versus a fist!<br /><br />What do they ALL have in common..<br /> <br />They were acts of a person resulting in mayhem and possibly death.<br /><br />If you do not recognize that then there is no point continuing.<br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-14816162531821966502012-07-27T08:38:36.396-04:002012-07-27T08:38:36.396-04:00I thought this was an interesting point, although ...I thought this was an interesting point, although the poster says it's boring.<br />http://www.samefacts.com/2012/07/watching-conservatives/why-have-progressives-abandoned-gun-control-a-really-boring-answer/Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572777569221103038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-37961123886064195972012-07-26T22:51:13.021-04:002012-07-26T22:51:13.021-04:00I hear a lot of blame and "somebody has to do...I hear a lot of blame and "somebody has to do something".

Powder stores were kept in communal magazines, because a stash of gunpowder in a home was an invitation to an explosion. <br /><br />Militias were local organizations, as well. They were not under Federal control and some weren't under the control of the Colonial government. They were more akin to volunteer fire departments. <br /><br />We could go back to that model, sure. And then everyone who joined would get to take their <i>fully-automatic</i> M-16, along with a battle-loadout of loaded magazines, home with them. Together with their body armor, and hand grenades.<br /><br />But over the last 200 years, it has become settled that our Constitution guarantees individual rights, not collective rights.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-7391415279535467452012-07-26T22:27:01.842-04:002012-07-26T22:27:01.842-04:00Dammit EB your gunslinger tactic did it again...yo...Dammit EB your gunslinger tactic did it again...you deflected the topic with the law abiding statement....lol Remeber death mayhem loss of life versus a handgun!Allan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757239604220478557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-89103256176351718872012-07-26T22:05:02.844-04:002012-07-26T22:05:02.844-04:00I, an ex greasy stoker, am going to step out on a ...I, an ex greasy stoker, am going to step out on a limb here EB, I am going into an Officers Mess and a Lawyers Territory for a second and post this quote from one of the most perfect piece of writing ever...your own Constitution; "The Second Amendment reads: <br /><br />"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."<br /><br />Without distortion, and within the spirit it was written, it seems you have the right to bear arms to defend yourselves as an organization, not as gun happy movie critics.Allan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757239604220478557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-41316389073213237362012-07-26T21:51:35.607-04:002012-07-26T21:51:35.607-04:00Do you really think that law-abiding Canadiens are...Do you really think that law-abiding Canadiens are the ones buying those guns, Allan?Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-33021947322588113422012-07-26T21:14:43.266-04:002012-07-26T21:14:43.266-04:00There would have been more deaths, and not nessesa...There would have been more deaths, and not nessesarily those of the original shooters.<br /><br />I think the appropiate gun club explanations would be calling the extra deaths "friendly Fire" or "collateral Damage". There would words like "unfortunate" and "sad". But no words like "100 percent preventable". <br /><br />EB, I normally remain silent of your whole right to bear arms debacle, but my wife and daughter were at some friggin' mall a month or so ago and two people were shot in the food court 24 hrs after they were there.<br /><br />One day may seem like an eternity to you, our southern cousins, but up here in Kanada gun play is shocking, deplorable and preventable.<br /><br />These new shooters up here want to be Americans so bad they think the answer is to shoot first, second and last, consequences be damned. There are way better American attributes to emulate like your ingenuity for one, but they chose the gangsta way. <br /><br />There is a flood of American hand guns flowing North, but we have our own counter move....we send the smoothest, strongest product of our hydroponic operations South, keep you stoned and hooked on munchies and you won't shoot no more....:) AllanAllan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757239604220478557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-42034385293256775182012-07-26T20:32:05.041-04:002012-07-26T20:32:05.041-04:00And if a couple of people in the crowd did?And if a couple of people in the crowd did?Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-3294787309995394672012-07-26T19:31:28.522-04:002012-07-26T19:31:28.522-04:00I actually would love to hear them.

The trouble with rationalizng these situations is that the end result, (the deaths, the wounded, the surviving friends and families), gets glossed over like they are not as important as the "right" to own a couple of pounds of metal.<br /><br />Toronto had a double killing at a street BBQ with well over a dozen wounded and not one of our leaders, with all their faults, said "What if more people in the crowd carried guns?".Allan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757239604220478557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-76229914159367671162012-07-26T18:54:23.509-04:002012-07-26T18:54:23.509-04:00There are a number of problems, Allan.
