    And the unavilability of guns I am sure has stopped many other crimes too. In the end they are two thoughts/concepts/strategies to possibly reduce gun crimes. (once you take the second amendment out of it) So far those countries with strict gun laws seem to be fairing better. But, times may change.

    In the same way you are deluding yourself if you think that concealed carry guarantees no more gun crimes.

    So, revenues could probably be better with a different name. Do you think it should be legislated though?

    I would let market forces dictate this, as opposed to laws. I would think that a team called the New York Kikes or the Utah Niggers would not get too large a following.

    That quote came from the defendant's lawyer, I wouldn't quite hold that up as the truth either.

    It is also what made America the laughing stock of the world at the time. That a President had to testify about his personal sex life.

    Funny enough quite a few of those European countries have higher worker productivity than the US. Not only are those socialists not sitting at home collecting welfare, they are working harder than the capitalist worker in the US. Edited to add: And oddly enough, those workers in the US are getting paid more for less work one of the reasons you see a fair bit of outsourcing happening.

    Can you try and explain what the title of the thread has to do with the article? This was a raid to arrest somebody alledgedly involved in crack and cocaine trafficking and an officer got shot while executing the warrant (they were even at the right address). So what does that have to do with a lower fear for home invasions and gun violence?

    1) if the guy had a gun, the woman would have already been dead. 2) intent alone isn't enough, or more people would have likely jumped in already 3) guns make it easier to kill, that's why the thread with the gun worked and the thread with a car didn't. IN this case the gun was a great thing and in all likelihood prevented a murder from taking place. It also dispells some of the arguments generally brought forward when discussing the negative sides of guns. (This is generally when the blinders go on, when the words negative and gun are used in the same sentence)

    You're too good of a person to not get what you have worked hard for and deserve. It will happen.

    Of course he did. I am certainly not disputing that, nor did I write anywhere that I did dispute that. The argument generally made is that murders committed with firearms would also be committed if firearms where not around. That intent is what is important. This incident shows that argument to be untrue. (for those who can only think in black and white, that doesn't mean that the exact opposite is true by definition).

    I'd have no problem admitting to that if I had windows in my kitchen....mind you, I guess I could be like some around here and just make up that I do....
  14. SkyDekker
    aboslutely, very true. I agree.
  15. SkyDekker
    Actually nobody got killed, so we can't say that. I do wonder if the woman would be dead if the guy did have a gun?
  16. SkyDekker
    Misconception 1 That's not what I said. Also not what I said. Again, not what I said. Impossible to have a debate/discussion/conversation with somebody who makes things up.
  17. SkyDekker
    my type? What's that O negative? So, this man with the intent to stop this incident, would have likely have stopped it without his gun as well you think? Or did the gun lower the level of intent needed for him to intervene? Would some of the people who didn't intervene have intervened if they had a gun?

    I remember reading a study in which they argued that fear of being ridiculed is a large part of not doing something. Often these scenarios are so out of the ordinary that many people think it can't really be happening, that it is fake or a set up etc. hence, they fear that by jumping in they would end up looking stupid/be humiliated/ridiculed etc. It also explains that once one person goes, many follow, cause now it is wouldn't be a 1 person humiliation anymore.....really back to basics of group behaviour.
  19. SkyDekker
    Exactly, cause a gun is much more effective/efficient at killing than most other tools designed to do so. Something that is frequently denied when this conversation is being doen the other way around. Usually the argument is that if guns were around, people would use anything else for killing purposes. This situation shows that argument really isn't all that true.

    Funny, that's what I was thinking.

    I have 30 or so of them working for me. Most are very professional dealing with the 22 million people that walk through my building annually. I have found that customers can be far more ignorant and demanding. Specially those that refuse to believe they are on private property.

    It hasn't decayed into abuse in the malls in which this has been done for years now. As a matter of fact it has been very successful. Not all mall Security Officers are ignorant.
