Thread: Gun control discussion

    My condolences for your mental state. To live in utter, abject fear of an inanimate object must be a terrible burden, particularly when there are inanimate objects and animate objects which are far, far more likely to bring you to harm, like your bathroom, the car you drive, or your doctor.

    How nice.


    Explain to me how more laws (endangering a child is already illegal) would fix the latest headline? They wouldn't, more laws in fact would do nothing, but it would allow the politicians to fleece the rubes for another term in office, as they DID something. They didn't do anything substantial, but they did SOMETHING, and that's all that counts, isn't it?

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    The road to the complete nanny state is paved with the same material, and in both cases the pavement stinks of bovine excrement.
    LOL,

    The people who want the government to background check are the same people who fear Kroger shopper cards because they collect info on what we buy when we shop.

    (Have you ever driven in CA? Those hellish roads are in need of paving...)

    The town hall meetings where the attendees are asking the politicos about their voting habits are pretty interesting.

    If they don't answer the question in one meeting, what makes them think that they will get an answer the next time?

    Did you honestly just say that? His need to kill? Really?? Really??

    Why is there not a emi-con of someone banging their head against a wall?

    Yep, sure, every single person who doesn't support a gun ban is all for killing. Yep, you really got it right.

    This thread reminds me of a girl in my speech class who felt the need to tell someone after my demo speech on archery (ARCHERY) that she didn't understand the need for blood sports? What? Sureeee, bet that hay bales bleeding out real bad.

    I heard on the news tonight (on WBBM-AM radio for those of you in the Chicago area) that the NRA would like to give away guns in Chicago and other big cities affected by crime. Their rationale is that if more citizens were armed, crime would decrease. I don't know about other cities, but in Chicago I can just see those guns quickly falling into the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Giving more people guns is NOT likely to decrease crime, at least not in this town. It's going to take more police, more programs to strengthen families and keep kids out of gangs, and more opportunities for teenagers to have a life other than early parenting, welfare, prison or early death.

    Sadly, that isn't going to happen,, because it takes more than a sound bite to actually fix social problems. Nothing proposed by either side is going to fix Chicago, or any other urban issues, for that matter.

    That's how it's starting to look around here. The Chicago Police Department announced that they have already spent two thirds of their overtime budget for the entire year - just since January. Warm weather and festival season isn't even here yet and that's when things in Chicago tend to go all wonky. Nothing proposed by either side is going to fix Chicago until Chicago decides it doesn't want to be the dysfunctional, murder capital of America, city it has become. Apparently a teenage honor student and a 6 month old baby aren't enough collateral damage. They just keep shooting.

    Alyssa! You shot a bale of hay with an arrow???
    I bought a second gun. Guess I'm really needing to kill! Haven't shot anyone yet. My guns haven't got up and shot anyone yet either.
    Have shot at the shooting range.

    What about all the paper targets I leave out to bleed out? Which feels more pain, hay bales or paper?

    How dare you! Oh wait, I did the same thing

    I am not sure, how about the foam block in my yard, wonder if the neighbors have called the cops on us yet due to the gruesome sight.

    Is this too awful for this site? A neat, but very expensive thing to have happen. It is pretty cool, as long as it does not happen again.

    Oh the humanity!!!!

    How could you do that to an innocent block of foam and an equally innocent arrow!

    I know, right? I even used a compound bow with a mechanical release. Some people call me a 'cheater' because of it. lol

    So much blood, you might be banned!

    Hehe, that's definitely some kind of accomplishment! I am lucky if I get a bullseye once in any round! If you use a Compound Bow and you still suck does that count as cheating
