quote: I'm seeing Tazzy's new legal principle in action. I get my wallet stolen, the thief buys drugs with my money, shares them with his siblings, one dies, I'm on the hook for it? Or the farmer who didn't have a good enough safe for his diesel fuel and the fertilizer for the back 40. Now another Federal building is wasted and he's responsible? Legal priciples are nasty that way, like most things, there are unanticipated consequences. Like someone making a totally logical extension of the principle and turning morality and causation on it's head? And we trust the professional clowns in Congress and the career miscreants who populate many civil service offices to make truly effective and minimally invasive laws on securing guns? Look at the health care system, the War on Drugs or the FDA, how can that level of competence have a real effect on school attacks? No, you arent seeing it. Your wallet example.... how are you on the hook for it? How can they even trace it back to you? In order for your attempt at hooking the two together, you would have to be charged with murder if someone stole your gun and killed someone. Or charged with robbery if they held someone up. That isnt the case. Now, why dont you try again.

For those interested, the Secret Service, likely the best present agency dealing effectively with 'targeted violence' commissioned a study of the known school shootings and published the study. It explodes many of the stereotypes we get from the news with the actual facts of what happens and when as best is known. Sandy Hook is way off the chart and probably the worst possible case to make national policy around. Note the point near the beginning where the experts state school violence is DECLINING and has been for decades. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CFoQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncjrs.gov%2Fpdffiles1%2Fjr000248c.pdf&ei=r2TVUMbONYH9igKg34HADg&usg=AFQjCNFqWJo9aJOQV3sJaUX88m4seLDQ_g&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.cGE

This article summarizes USSS Safe School Initiative: An Interim Report on the Prevention of Targeted Violence in Schools (Washington, DC: U.S. Secret Service, National Threat Assessment Center, 2000). The summary is published with permission from NTAC. The full report, with expanded findings, is anticipated in early 2002. The research was funded in part through NIJ grant number 00–MU–MU–A003 2000?

If they were a militia, they would be a "select militia". Then they would be a well-regulated select militia. But they aren't, so they're not. The National Guard is a select militia, though whether you would consider it well-regulated I couldn't say. But when it comes to some serious not joking around, they are the ones who don't joke around. K.

Moonhead -> RE: All things gun control go here (12/22/2012 4:30:48 AM)
Apart from anything else, the Police have a federal wing, rather than being purely state based, so the mere existence of the FBI (and DEA, and a few other other non military alphabet soup agencies) excludes them from that whole militia thang...

A hammer's only purpose is to smash into things HARD. Bot are deadly to humans only when misused. "And you are seeing this as if you will be charged with killing someone?" You are seeing it as I would be liabe for the actions of a criminal just like in #1 above. Make a crime victim liable for the actions of a criminal. Blame the victim. What part of that do you not understand you're doing? It's only 3 words.

quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Every solution but the obvious, ban assault type rifles. It's a reliable sign that you've fallen down a rabbit hole when things aren't what they are anymore. There is no appreciable difference between the rate of fire of an AR-15 (the alleged "assault weapon" here) and any other auto-loading firearm, pistols included. They all fire a single round with each pull of the trigger. Trying to pull off the illusion that an AR-15 is an "assault weapon" should be left to the fellows with top-hats and pretty assistants. K. If you say so...... The figures I posted dont seem to agree with you though.

Do you have anything rational to contribute to a discussion? Or just that tired old internet debate trick of of making up a bunch of strawman nonsense that wasn't posted so you can troll for a pointless argument? The point that you are trying to derail is that there are some severe problems with society which lead to these events, and superstitious voodoo solutions aren't going to help. quote: ORIGINAL: joether quote: ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 If someone wants into a bank vault badly enough, they'll figure out a way, and no gun safe is going to offer more protection than that..

If they get stolen after that it isnt the owners fault.

quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD can you prove beyond doubt that he wouldn't have All these "what ifs" are exactly that..... stick your head in the sand blame anything but the gun. I fully agree!! (Now there's something new! lol). They keep saying that we know nothing because the UK and Australia aren't the US. Whilst that may be true, the US basically used the UK constitution when it was originally drawn up. The same was also true of the Australian one, originally. Both the UK and Australian constition allowed civilians to bear arms in 1791 when the 2nd was made. When nearly two centuries had passed, both the UK and Australia (within a year of each other) decided that the old law didn't fit modern western society any more - so they changed it for the better. The citizens didn't like it any more than those in the US do now - but they just did it. Unconstitutional, yes. Undemocratic, yes. But a safer country? Most certainly!! The death figures, per capita, speak for themselves. Our kids are safe in our schools. The schools don't look like high-security prisons with armed guards. So who are the asshats that know nothing?? [:D]

/ quote: ORIGINAL: VideoAdminTheta Per Alpha: She will be reviewing the consolidation thread and may be making some changes in some of the threads that were consolidated, sometime today. Thank you Theta I am glad to hear this! I think we should be able to create new threads related to gun issues, and on the other hand, I don't think any ONE member should be allowed to create 10-20 threads daily on any topic. It's really only been 3-4 posters who feel compelled to create dozens of threads on gun issues, why does everyone always have to suffer for the few that take things to the extreme?? I never could figure out why certain people are compelled to create DOZENS of threads on a daily basis anyway. It pushes other page 1 WORTHY threads to back pages, and they get to just rattle on and on. It's as if they feel, it is THEIR own personal message board. I feel strongly about limiting the number of threads a person can create on a daily basis. [8\|] Get a fucking hobby or create your own website. I go to other message boards on other websites, and I DON'T want to have to read dozens of threads all started by the same person/people. It's rude and bad form. It's also usually NOT tolerated. It's self centered and speaks volumes about them as a person. It's the PRIMARY reason, extreme measures such as creating ONE thread for all related issues have to be created in the first place!!!!!! I have found in life, it's always one or few, that make it hard for the rest of us. Thanks in advance. Merry Christmas to all! [sm=hippie.gif]

TheHeretic -> RE: All things gun control go here (12/22/2012 11:00:31 AM)
I agree, Mari. Every so often, especially when I'm in a pithy smartass sort of mode, or playing in the section I still think of as Random Stupidy, I'll get a little pop-up that tells me I cannot post two messages in such a short time. Why not something similiar for forum posting? Or, why not a thread starting form of moderation, that would still allow posters to fully participate in the discussion, but require new threads to be ok'd first, when a poster wants to illustrate what a fucking asshat they are? Several threads on aspects of gun control would be good. Even when I was trying to tell a certain individual to knock it off, before exactly this happened, I was saying we couldn't do this subject on one. Gun control is probably the biggest subject of political discussion in the US right now. It should be fair game, and individual aspects should not be buried and lost, as they will be here.
