Do you fuckers still think handguns are so cool now?

A guy with a knife still has a chance of being taken down by just one guy. The report said that there were other people in the room with them. You really think it would have been just as easy with a friggin knife?


Now when the guy had a handgun, there could have been 10 other people in that room, and they wouldn't have been able to do shit, cause they don't wanna be the guy to get shot in the face for trying to stop him. Not to mention, he woulda just pulled the trigger on the girl's face first, then turned the gun around on the guy.

I watched "Trama - Life in the ER" this weekend. Why, I don't know.

Anyway, one of the cases at Charity Hospital in New Orleans was where a 14 year old kid was brought in with a knife sticking out of his back. The blade had been jabbed in with such brutal forced that it was bent and the handle was broken off. The culprit? His pissed off girlfriend. Maybe a handgun wasn't convenient....but that steaknife sure was.

Bottom line....whacko people are going to go nuts with whatever is available. And in Germany, they will eat the evidence.

This is really the dumbest thread I have ever seen on this boared. People kill people with Handguns all the time. It's the choice and actions of a individual. Not the Hand Gun. The HandGun can't pull it's own trigger.

God Damn Scat your a fucking moron.

Note that wherever there are laws allowing people to carry a concealed handgun, the major crime rates go down.

Gun Ownership Mandatory In Kennesaw, Georgia
Crime Rate Plummets

by Chuck Baldwin


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The New American magazine reminds us that March 25th marked the 16th anniversary of Kennesaw, Georgia's ordinance requiring heads of households (with certain exceptions) to keep at least one firearm in their homes.

The city's population grew from around 5,000 in 1980 to 13,000 by 1996 (latest available estimate). Yet there have been only three murders: two with knives (1984 and 1987) and one with a firearm (1997). After the law went into effect in 1982, crime against persons plummeted 74 percent compared to 1981, and fell another 45 percent in 1983 compared to 1982.

And it has stayed impressively low. In addition to nearly non-existent homicide (murders have averaged a mere 0.19 per year), the annual number of armed robberies, residential burglaries, commercial burglaries, and rapes have averaged, respectively, 1.69, 31.63, 19.75, and 2.00 through 1998.

With all the attention that has been heaped upon the lawful possession of firearms lately, you would think that a city that requires gun ownership would be the center of a media feeding frenzy. It isn't. The fact is I can't remember a major media outlet even mentioning Kennesaw. Can you?

The reason is obvious. Kennesaw proves that the presence of firearms actually improves safety and security. This is not the message that the media want us to hear. They want us to believe that guns are evil and are the cause of violence.

The facts tell a different story. What is even more interesting about Kennesaw is that the city's crime rate decreased with the simple knowledge that the entire community was armed. The bad guys didn't force the residents to prove it. Just knowing that residents were armed prompted them to move on to easier targets. Most criminals don't have a death wish.

There have been two occasions in my own family when the presence of a handgun averted potential disaster. In both instances the gun was never aimed at a person and no shot was fired.

You know what REALLY makes a gun dangerous? It's the fact that it is a GUN. It doesn't fucking matter if you can just cook up home made bombs with fertilizer. The problem is that as long as handguns are legal,hotheads and morons will always use them in inappropiate ways.

To many cowards, a handgun is like a tool to get their way. You really think that guy who shot the girl in the head would have had the balls to do that if he didn't have a gun?

When was the last time you heard of someone killing someone with a backyard pool intentionally? Sure, it happens in a few freak cases, but theres all kinds of murder everywhere.



Also, imagine a different scenario. What if your niece, would have found a handgun instead and accidentally shot herself, which happens.
You would not even have a excuse for that.

Yes, i'm willing to bet that you MIGHT be a responsible person, however, we ALL slip up sometimes, and just because YOU are responsible, does not mean everyone else is.


There IS a reason why every responsible person is not allowed to have a nuke in their backyard or anthrax cooking in the kitchen you know.



Oh, about Yemen and Afghanistan, Yes, I'm sure they are VERY good example of how life in this country should be like

I find it foolish when someone continues to try and blame an inanimate object for something. I know this has been mentioned already in this thread, but let's outlaw cars...drunk drivers kill people, but it must be the CAR'S fault. Hell, let's outlaw shoelaces...someone might hang themselves or strangle someone. We can all just wear shoes/sneakers with velcro instead. Let's also outlaw tire irons, baseball bats, plastic bags (so nobody can suffocate someone), matches and lighters (for arson), anti-freeze (so vengeful people can't spike their spouse's drink of choice for a slow, agonizing death) and what the hell, while we're at it...how about making it illegal for an individual to touch another (that would make it impossible to beat another to death with one's barehands).

Sound foolish, Scat? Of course it does. Just like your distorted sense of reality...

the statistics say all.


373 people in Germany
151 people in Canada
57 people in Australia
19 people in Japan
54 people in England and Wales, and
11,789 people in the United States

This forum just inspired me to go out and buy another handgun. I now have a brand new Kimber 45 and she's beautiful. Why do I live in America? You can't fuckin walk in a store and buy a 45 auto in Japan or Canada but you can do it here. Rock and Roll!

That's right! I could kill you with a well-placed tooth pick.

Of course America has higher numbers of firearms-related homicides.

We have many times more the population of these smaller countries. Not only that, if you were to put the same amount of firearms per capita in each of these smaller countries that America has, the results would be equal (per capita) across the board.

In every million people of population over an equal amount of time, the average results will be the same. The same average number will be born, the same average number will die.

What you are all forgetting is that gun-related deaths and also deaths related to aggression, anger, warfare, and accidents (over the entire history of mankind and all other creatures) are still a very small number compared to the leading cause of death on earth.

The leading cause of death is fucking.


Our ancestors fucked and had children. Those children grew up and died.

Along the way, hopefully some of them fucked. And had kids. Which grew up and died. All the way up until the present day.

Thank your parents for murdering you.

It may take decades for you to die, but your parents are the cause of your eminent demise, just by causing you to be born.

Guns are irrelevant in comparison.

:D

Great post,but The words Make Love and Making Love would have been used instead of fucked and fucking.lol.

Yeah, Kimber pistols are made in the USA in New York State of all places. They forge their own reciever blanks and machine it all in house. Not cheap, they start at around $800 and go up from there but this gun has the best fit and finish out of any 45 I've purchased off the shelf. Much better than what Colt was making actually. Why did I buy it? Because I could. Do I need it? No. I didn't need another Stratocaster either but I bought another one of those too. 45's make me think of Elvis. He gave one to Nixon and shot his television set with one. An American classic!

My fault...I thought this was going to be about air cooled grips on handguns...instead of this drivel.

Carry on.
