    Nor do they pay for travel on the corporate jet. It is either a perk, or they are requested to pay the equivalent of a commercial ticket as token compensation. Are you certain of whence you speak? In the US, many, many corporate perks, if not reimbursed to the company at bona fide value, are treated as taxable income by the IRS. Assuming, of course, that the IRS knows about them. And generally, both the company and the executive are required by law to report it to the IRS. Failure to make such report may be a criminal offense. Cause there is no way around it, like calling it business travel, or a corporate retreat, or any of the other options....

    One would almost start to think that spending money on preventative options might be better than spending money on guns.

    Hold on, when liberals propose anything to help the poor, the answer is usually that the poor simply don't work hard enough and are lazy. What level has society sunk to when guns are seen as more important than education, food and health care?

    So where do the majority of illegal guns come from?
  6. SkyDekker
    No, but unlike you, I don't believe buttons protect my money

    Even if true, so what? Facebook is a publicly traded company. You don't like the way they do business, don't use their product(s).

    What does the AWB have to do with CCW? I know Assault Weapons are very poorly defined, but I don't think any of them can really be used for concealed carry.

    Then obviously you don't have to be worried about school shootings.

    To pay for guns in schools for your kids, just not for better education.
  11. SkyDekker
    Yeah, like my income is better than yours, therefor I pay a lower tax rate. Or, I have worked harder so I can send my kids to a private school where they will get a better education. Take some personal responsibility and if you are too poor to send your kids to an armed school, obviously you should have just worked harder. Poor people are just lazy. I don't understand where this eqaulity thing comes from in the US all of a sudden.

    I thought he was from Kenya? So you don't know if there is causation or correlation, but you are bringing it forward as an example of such?

    Two questions: 1) what about the kids behind the teacher in your first return fire scenario? 2) What about a perpetrator wearing a (fake) police uniform?

    So just how exactly would this have gone differently if Federico Martinez or the female with him had been armed?
  15. SkyDekker
    I agree
  16. SkyDekker
    Nah, I could care less, doesn't effect me in anyway.

    By severely reducing the number of guns in circulation. Thereby reducing the ease with which many of these crazies get their hands on guns. One incident like Newtown would bring pretty significant insurance increases. Yes, I know it wouldn't be 100% effective. Personally I believe that frequent mass shootings are part of the price you pay for your constitution. Guns can be used for good and for eveil. The more guns in circulation, the more they will be used for good and for evil.

    So your guns aren't really going to help you much with a B&E. Most of those do take place during the day. You may want to use different tools for protection against that, you seem to eb heavily focused on the wrong tool for the job.
  19. SkyDekker
    Why wouldn't I just wait till you leave and break in then? That way if you have guns around the house, I can steal those too!

    Nothing like making some money off dead children.
  21. SkyDekker
    I am sure they agree that guns don't kill people.
  22. SkyDekker
    And yet the answer to keep kids safe is more guns, not more education. (and no this post is not directed at anybody in particault, just a general observation)
  23. SkyDekker
    So the armed guard did not prevent the shooting. A gun ban prevented the banned guns from being used in the shooting. The answer is more armed guards?
  24. SkyDekker
    Really, all hese armed guards are going to be volunteers? Only in America is there a discussion about spending money to put guns in school, but a steadfast refusal to spend money on better education I know, compared to guns, health care and education are pretty useless. Yes it is.

    Only as an absolute last resort. The first line of defence is making it extremely difficult to get to the political leader or the money in the bank. There are many banks with no guns in them at all. Generally bankrobberies are reduced, not by adding more guns, but by making it much more difficult to get to it and by making it much more difficult to use it, if you do get to it.
