Gun control discussion

[Lady's Human]

Keep on paddling. At least you may convince yourself! Guns are good. Guns are good. Guns are good. Close your eyes and repeat...guns are good...

But insulting my father? Really, really low. He knew more about machines than you could ever, ever know. I guess his 32 patents don't compare to your exalted knowledge. Really, really low. A pity your father didn't tell you about decency at the kitchen table. Mine did.

How was I insulting your father? Your self-righteous pap comes to the fore again. You brought your father's skills into this as proof of YOUR knowledge of systems. One of my ancestors was a master builder in a shipyard for a very famous ship that was a technological leap ahead of its competition. That relationship doesn't mean I can build a fir frigate from the keel up. My father is a powerplant engineer. While I am intensely familiar with the systems involved in a steam powerplant, it doesn't mean I can build one. We are not the Poslenn'ar, we do not have genetic memory. Your father may well have been a highly competent engineer. That means nothing in relation to your knowledge of a tank.

As to my own abilities, I am a technician, not an engineer. We fix what the engineers fark up.

I merely exposed it as what it is, with no mention whatsoever of your father's skill. His skill doesn't translate into your abilities. Nice try, dearie. Try again.

By the by, I know a great deal about decency and respect. Respect and decency are earned parts of social interaction. You, Madame, have earned exactly what you are getting.

Silly Richard, she shouldn't have had the gun to protect herself with in the first place! Why post such a story?!

I agree! I'm wondering what she could have done differently to protect herself and her children without shooting that poor guy.
After all he was just wandering through her home uninvited after breaking in and she didn't even know who he was.

This happened a year ago. Again, what could she have done differently? The police were still not there after 20 minutes.
Maybe she should have waited to see what the two guys breaking down her door for 20 minutes wanted.

I remember reading that story. I am so glad she had a gun & wasn't afraid to use it. I don't want to think what could have happened to
her and the baby if those guys managed to get inside. She was very brave woman.

I remember when this happened. It haunts me. No I don't have a three month old baby and am not quite that far away from civilization, but still.

Because I wanted to show that driving with blood in your eyes could cause an accident?

Sorry - I have tears in my eyes.....from laughing.
I've never seen such a load of self serving, biased twaddle.
Glad it was put out by the NRA and not you Blue. I expect it from them.

If I could find the "like" button, I would have "liked" Louie and Me's comment. So true. I laughed and laughed and then got bored with it. Such rubbish (at least the part I was able to watch )...... Come on Blue, you can come up with something better than that! I am sure.
