?????? Evil people exist Gun control is about less overall deaths. Simply a numbers game. Doesn't prevent jack if somebody is determined to kill many. Evil still exists and finds a way 9/11 They took over planes with knives and look at the damage done. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Of course, it took the shooting at the Parkland school and pressure from the students. Yeah, it's about the least amount of credit you can possibly give someone, when they're literally pressured by circumstances to do something they wouldn't have ever done otherwise. But I guess that's something. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | I just bought some hard-to-get shotgun shells from Bass Pro, online. They indicated you can't use Paypal. So I guess I'll see if that purchase gets categorized so the consumer sees that. I literally have been unable to get these locally, btw. The ammunition shortages feed paranoia, so I imagine the new situation is causing more of that. I'm not immune to it myself. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

I agree with you but I also understand that some people do not have any risk tolerance. I own one gun, it is a pistol and I do not own any bullets for it. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1964 | Kidnaping became a federal crime following the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. All gun crimes should be made federal crimes as well. It would take those cases away from protection under liberal state laws, and activist DA's and Judges who typically refuse to prosecute or release criminals without penalty. Thanks to the no bail-no jail law, most of those arrested for illegal gun possession and even shooters in NYC are released soon after their arrest. They could wait years to see their trial date. Giving them years to commit additional crimes. |
