A very Bad Law

[Lady's Human]

It avoids the idiocy in several cases where employees have been fired for having a gun on company property when all they did was have a gun in their car in the parking lot when they were coming back from hunting.

Besides, why should the company give a damn?

The all or nothing idiocy is annoying. You KNOW who you need to be worried about, pay attention to them, leave the law abiding population alone and stop trying to make criminals out of them.

I think -- scratch that, I KNOW -- that if one of the other folks working in our building had a gun in the car during the situation I lived through, things would have been a LOT messier than they were. The police took 27 hours, but they talked the guy out, no shots fired. Got him to let his ex wife out after barely 3 hours.

You KNOW? Pray tell, how?

How many bad guys were there?

And if that guy killed his wife, and then started on the rest of you one by one, and nobody else in the building had a gun ???? What then ????

We need to stop bringing logic and common sense into this thread.

I know.
But it would make me feel a lot better if I could confront any potential house invaders with something a little more cleaner than my dads Jap sword.
Mind you, I wouldn't mind using the sword, but I think a bullet would be quicker, and less mess to clean up afterwards.

If Liz could, she would vote your right to defend yourself with your dads Jap sword illegal.

Logic and common sense have no meaning to the anti gun, anti self defense agenda.

"But these changes have done nothing to reduce gun-related deaths, according to Samara McPhedran, a University of Sydney academic and coauthor of a soon-to-be-published paper that reviews a selection of previous studies on the effects of the 1996 legislation. The conclusions of these studies were "all over the place," says McPhedran. But by pulling back and looking purely at the statistics, the answer "is there in black and white," she says. "The hypothesis that the removal of a large number of firearms owned by civilians [would lead to fewer gun-related deaths] is not borne out by the evidence."

I would think those with irrational fears of inanimate objects would be behind a law like this, Im sure the criminals are fully behind this.

Oh, I'm sure that happens all the time. First place anyone wants to go after a weekend hunting trip, is work. Geeze. Get real please.

You have no earthly idea what you're talking about.

During hunting season half the maintenance staff is late to work. Why? They hunt in the morning then go to work.

I sure hope they don't have to serve the public. The smell would be pretty strong.

Any more stereotypes you want to toss out there?
