  1. And thats the point. You are essentially saying they should only be used where it suits the police. Given recent events, a lot of people believe that it could serve the dual purpose of holding the police accountable for their actions. You seem to have a problem with that, which is a concern. SIUCC. If you don't like other peoples opinions, you are entitled not to read them. No-one is forcing you to come here. If you feel they aren't entitled to them, then you are part of the problem.

  2. Sorry, but thats a copout (pun not intended). You either ARE accountable for your actions or you aren't. Being able to choose when you are or aren't is exactly the problem we have now. If you give the officer ability to control the video, it means it will only ever be used in their favour. ETA - meant to comment on this as well Is essentially a non-issue. IF this was to come in to a greater extent, of course the infrastructure needs to exist to support it. It's not just a matter of nipping down to the shops and buying some gopros.

  4. Pretty sure God (whichever one you are talking about) has nothing to do with it. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  5. Also - are there situations where these sorts of tactics are required? Probably. Are they required to be used at the sort of level and frequency they are used now? Probably not. When the standard response more and more frequently involves a swat team, or full riot gear, or whatever, then you have already lost. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  6. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.
  7. I'm not ashamed to say I really like Armageddon. Ok, maybe a little bit. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. I don't disagree with most of what you said, however the timing of the tweet was.... stupid, to say the least. (The article I actually don't have a problem with generally - written and published well prior to the incident and from what I have skim read - fairly reasonable.) There is one caveat to this however - sure, take your kids and teach them to shoot a one shot .22 or something else appropriate. Loads of people do that here in NZ as well, particularly in the farming community - I may even do the same myself - 9 might be a bit early in my view, depends a little bit on the boy. Will wait till he takes a serious enough interest in it But there is no reason a 9 year old (girl or boy - doesn't make that much odds at that age) should be shooting a 9mm full auto. None. It's not about respecting firearms, it's just stupid. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  9. They have said it on twitter: "7 ways Children Can Have Fun at the Shooting Range" via @TeamWON. READ: womensoutdoornews.com/2014/08/7-ways... wow. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  10. Maybe some British folks can correct me if I got this wrong but my understanding is that when British say 'Asian' they mean someones from Pakistan/India, most of the time from Pakistan. They use the word 'oriental' when they want to imply what Americans mean by 'Asian'. Nope. Could be all of the above. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  11. Only answer to a 9 year old with an uzi is more 9 year olds with uzis. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  12. Actually, the word "Asians" is one of my pet peeves. You are talking about more than half the worlds population. It's a whole truckload of races and ethnicities. When you say Asian, who do you mean? Indians? Japanese? Mongolians? Kazakhs? "An ethnicity, or ethnic group, is a socially-defined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural, or national experience" Never try to eat more than you can lift

  17. Oh nice Wendy. We are looking at one of these at the moment http://www.auto-sleepers.com/vans/peugeot/models/van-peugeot-windrush. Along very similar lines but quite a different layout with room for the nipper. Never try to eat more than you can lift

  21. That's quite the tail! Thank you! But, how do you like my new ride? It's really beautiful! OK, I admit it, motorcycles kinda freak me out. Mostly, because I don't know enough about them to talk intelligently, and the fact that I got dumped (physically) on one didn't help. I do like them in an abstract, artistic way, and yours is very good looking! And damn, there is no way I could keep up with you in my new toy! Not much will keep up with a ZX14. Nice bike.

  22. What - like this? You can argue semantics all day (apologies I didn't structure my sentences the way you require),but you are still wrong. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  23. How many times do we have to repeat that gun show sales follow identical laws of non gun show sales before it will sink in? With no regulation, recourse, or means of actually holding anyone accountable. (Caveat - for most states) Face it - if you are going to come up with crap analogies, you will get owned. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  24. Nope. That's nonsense because private sales and gun show sales allow every single one of those conditions to be ignored. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  25. I was thinking about this today. I'm not sure what they think the snipers are going to do other than inflame tension. If they ever come to the point where they pull the trigger here, how do they think that is going to help anything? Do they have some crazy notion that would de-escalate the problem?
