    The majority of weapons are from the US. They are known to be sold straight into smuggling. The US could stop the illegal transfers by not allowing US companies to provide arms to Mexico.

    I sometimes wonder if you and I just speak two different languages. I have no idea how you would get that out of what I wrote. I believe that open communication is preferred over telling my son wat he needs to believe to be allowed to live in my house. You answered the question of when your child is allowed to deny and refrain from participating in your religion with: when they move out. Hence, they have to believe what you believe, nothing else will be tolerated.

    When they move out It is my house See, I think that's a good answer - children are the responsibility of their parents and parents should get to choose nearly everything - especially stupid subjective stuff like religion. Once the kids are adults, then they should take care of themselves and get to make their own decisions. I don't. Trying to force a certain belief system on him makes no sense in my opinion. I much rather discuss the difference in our beliefs with him, then telling him he has to believe something specific because he lives in my house.

    Sounds like there would be a very large market for large format pharmacies with armed employees. Why do you think this market niche has not been filled? Plus, I don't think that is the most likely scenario. Most likely scenario is some increased security presence for a week or two and then back to normal. Your predicted rash of follow up burglaries simply doesn't take place. (Though that trend can sometimes be observed in smaller mom and pop type retail outlets, it simply cannot be duplicated in large format retail operations)

    There are many more options. If arming employees is truly the best solution, don't you think some large companies wouldn't have already implemented it? Not like a gun is new technology.
  7. SkyDekker
    That tobacco companies and executives were actively involved in smuggling? You are right, my mind is made up on that. Whether that carries over to the gun industry remains to be seen. Not going to base my opinion on one article in a newspaper, specially not when the writer has shown a bias on the subject.
  8. SkyDekker
    Not talking about research, I'm talking about companies and senior executives in those companies actively involved with smuggling. That has taken place in the tobacco industry, hence my comment about precedent.
  9. SkyDekker
    Right, tobacco companies weren't involved in smuggling....

    It is not my premise, it is one of the premises behind the company policy. If the company allows employees to carry, but does not provide training, the company is open to an incredible liability should a customer get hit. Adequate training for employees regarding close quarter use of guns would be extremely costly as well. First of all, you cannot compare the b/e of a home or car to the robbery of a large store. Secondly, there are many other options available to companies, which carry no or significantly less increase in liability. Most companies avail themselves of those options after a robbery, but often more so to appease staff. No, the no gun policy for employees is the correct policy. There are a myriad of other options open to the company.

    All the more reason to tap into "other markets". Which ties into the tobacco case. And just so we are clear, re-read my first post in this thread. I am not claiming business is involved in Gun Trafficking. Just stated that I cannot take anything in the article as fact and further stating there is a precedent in a similar industry.
  12. SkyDekker
    Then take the numbers out and explain to me how the current level of robberies at Walgreens costs the company more than a couple of customers getting shot by an employee if the company allowed employees to carry.
  13. SkyDekker
    you are not making sense. You want a link to the tobacco precedent, or you want a link to a definition of big business. I know your spelling is shit, and I know you have some kind of excuse for that, but it makes your posts impossible to understand at times. I am assuming you have heard of google?
  14. SkyDekker
    Which is exactly the sentiment that leads to Karzai having to make the statement he made. He knows the US will soon leave and he needs to start pandering to the other side to keep himself in power, or at least in business.
  15. SkyDekker
    So you think the occasional shopper shot by an employee would be less expensive that the current loss to robberies? I think that position would indeed be rather laughable.
  16. SkyDekker
    No, the fact is correct, the numbers were made up to show the basic premise. Yes, I'm laughing out loud at you right now. Are you saying it is cheaper to shoot bystanders than to lose the money in the robbery? . No, quite the opposite
  17. SkyDekker
    The school should send a really strong message and expell her!!!
  18. SkyDekker
    I didn't generalize, I stated there was a precedent. There are a number of parallels between tobacco and arms industry. I really don't feel a need to spell that all out for you. If you cannot understand that on even such a basic level, the rest of the conversation will go nowhere.
  19. SkyDekker
    Your assumption maybe. One could also assume the student was asked not to do that, based on the practice, but she did it anyways.
  20. SkyDekker
    He doens't have another option. He knows the US doesn't have the will to actually win in Afghanistan and will "soon" leave. He has to protect his income.
  21. SkyDekker
    It is impossible to establish any fact from the article. He is quoting his own supposed research, but without the research presented you can't really establish fact. There is some precedent of this type of behaviour in big business. At least one tobacco company has been fined for actively supporting the trafficking of their product. and now you are going to walk into the hole quade has dug already? Better take some water with you. Your going to be in this deep one a while Cant post to the content, AGAIN, can you!
  22. SkyDekker
    No, the fact is correct, the numbers were made up to show the basic premise.
  23. SkyDekker
    How does that answer the question you quoted?
  24. SkyDekker
    Which is an opinion you have made up for this argument. There is absolutely no evidence to support (or deny) that position. If there was any evidence to support yur opinion, I am relatively confident the same student would have them in court.
  25. SkyDekker
    And what if she didn't stop?
