  1. Why is it that only gun crime is reported like this? Why is the headline never: "Legal knife owner kills policeman." "Legal match owner sets building on fire." "Legal car owner kills 2." A gun doesn't cause crime anymore than a knife or car does, so why do people focus on the weapon only in gun crimes?
  2. Keep in mind that certain liquors (151, other high-proof alcohol) isn't allowed.
  3. With a statement like this do you understand why some might say that?
  4. I agree. If I was gonna commit a violent crime against someone, I'd be much safer in Chicago.
  5. You referring to the guide rings that the steering line passes through or the metal rings on the slinks?
  6. They main ones are plenty strong, so no real need to use the reserve slinks on a main.
  7. Be sure to include the Springfield XD on your list of guns to look at. The grip angle on it will be similar to the 22/45, and they're really nice.
  8. They don't have to sell to anyone they don't feel comfortable selling to, and I've seen people refuse quite a few times.
  9. Ah, blame it on the movies and the video games...here we go... Since when was just being a fucking psycho not enough to explain the mass murder thing?
  10. Nice try. Waiting periods, multiple guns buys, and hi-cap mags don't have any effect on crime. None of these would have made any difference in the VT incident. "Cop-killer" ammo (I'm assuming you're referring to hollow-point ammo) is what nearly every PD uses. It's less likely to penetrate body armor than cheaper (much cheaper) and more readily available FMJ ammunition, and is designed not to over-penetrate and injure others. "Cop-killer" ammo sure does sound scary though, so it's a favorite term of the anti-gun lobby. And IIRC, the NRA is in favor of legislation that would include more information (such as the VT shooters mental health issues) in the NICS system.
  11. What constantly amazes me is the number of people that haven't figured out you can't drive your Honda through 3 feet of standing water.
  12. Please confiscate his man card when he brings you back the drill.
  13. I'm sitting here watching it right now and I've seen it once before, but is this not the creepiest movie ever made?
  14. I'm only familiar with Texas law, but it's illegal to carry into bars. Easy solution. Keep it with you when you're not there. Small gun safes are readily available, I've got one in my closet, it's where I keep my 2 pistols when I'm not home and they're not with me, or when I am home and there are people over.
  15. What's your home state? Here in TX it requires a 10 hour course, 2 passport photos, fingerprints, and drivers license. To get the application packet, you have to mail a request form to the DPS, who then sends you the packet. Each of the application packets has a serial # so no copying. AFAIK, the state requires that the (notarized) originals be mailed, and if there's any little mistake (ie. face is too small in pictures, etc..) they won't process it until it's corrected. I don't know which records the instructors are required to keep. I'd think attempting that here would likely result in a nice little felony conviction.
  16. Actually, I see the other way around. It looks like they did little to no actual investigation of the crap they were claiming, and looked like idiots for the most part.
  17. You're not officially a geek until you can tell us what your RAM timings are.
  18. I've actually forgot....some rum, vokda, southern comfort, red bull, vodka...and lots of combinations of otherss stuff.
  19. I believe that studies have shown that CHL holders are 5 to 15 times less likely to commit felony offenses than the general population, depending on the state.
  20. Is the thug also going to class or is he just wandering the halls? he's going to class, he knows who's got a gun and is targetting them, anything else? Ok, so how does he know who has a gun? Key word here: Concealed. I know you know what it means.
  21. That'd be great if it was actually possible to prevent people from having a gun on campus, but history has shown that laws attempting to prevent such only stop law-abiding citizens from bringing them on campus. People that are going to use them will have them anyway. Leaving it to the cops has proven to work well in the past. I can't imagine such a firearm ever being reliable enough to trust that it would work when you need it to.
