A Consolidated “Gun Crazy” Thread

[normiss 892]

Give them 30 days to unload the weapons, then go after them. They should have every right to sell something they bought - or sell them for them and take a fee for the process.

I cannot support stealing from citizens, the government already steals more than enough from all of us.

And who are the gangbangers going to unload the weapons on? Probably other gangbangers, right? Just as rednecks will unload them on other rednecks, etc.

This is a very slippery slope here.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Somehow me thinks you wouldnt know what a real redneck was if it came up and bit you in the neck. Because if you think I am a redneck you are sorely mistaken. Quit watching duck dynasty.

Would you know a gangbanger if he came up and bit you on the neck?

Speaking of rednecks reminded me of this story of a gun mishap:

...Two local men were seriously injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on state Highway 38 early Monday morning. Woodruff County Deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, are listed in serious condition at Baptist Medical Center. The accident occurred as the two men were returning to Des Arc after a frog-giggin' trip.

On an overcast Sunday night, Poole's pickup truck's headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older model truck had burned out. A replacement fuse was not available, but Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber bullet from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate properly and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge.

After traveling approximately 20 miles, just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the right testicle. The vehicle swerved sharply to the right, exiting the pavement and striking a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident but will require surgery to repair the other wound. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released.

"Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston (shot his balls off) or we might have been dead," stated Wallis. "I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how the accident happened," said Snyder.

Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia, Poole's wife, asked how many frogs the boys had caught.

I think that just fits under the "No cure for stupid" category.

Because you hang out in 3rd ward all the time and YOU know the difference. Pot calling the kettle black huh.

[regulator 0]

Maybe you do hang out with gangbangers all the time because all I hear from you is we have to protect their civil liberties.

. A special thank you goes out to Kallend who keeps the party going by tirelessly interjecting some intelligence & reason into the discussions.

You're very welcome. A change is as good as a rest. I spend my working life surrounded by smart people, so it's refreshing to come to SC and read what rushmc, gravitymaster and regulator have to say.

It's funny how alot of citizens of the UK view the US as a violent wild west full of ignorant redneck gun nuts on the edge of going on a rampage,yet they forget about britains history of rampant use of violence to conquest and subjegate people who could not fight back.
I remember not long ago,when the UK was constantly in the headlines with the irish republican army blowing things up,like schools and what not.
It seems the UK had the first group of modern terrorist killing innocent people along with law enforcement and soldiers.
The british government would send in the tanks and the IRA would blow stuff up.
Seems the UK has had plenty of violence in it's past,and history tends to repeat itself.
We have violence in the US,so do other countries, but we also have over 300,000,000 citizens and who knows how many illegal aliens here,and as I've said before,we share a border with a poverty stricken and corrupt hot bed of violence called mexico.
The UK borders the ocean.

that would be a vampire - and it is kinda like Schroedinger - You can't 'really' know until after it's too late. So in your scenario - Yes, because he bit me on the neck. (where one chooses to define vampire as someone that bites you on the neck)

I never said the US was perfect,but neither is any other country.
As far as the middle east is concerned,if I recall the muslim brotherhood was created to fight british mistreatment of the people there,and the muslim brotherhood is the precursor to all of the other islamic terrorist groups we have now.
The US and the UK both use alot of middle eastern oil I'm sure.
The US and the UK have supported each other in almost every conflict since we got past the war of 1812,and I like most of the folks I've met from the UK and the beer is pretty good as well.

That story was dis-proved on Myhbusters.
