they never told anyone so his background check came back clean.
ah. well. that makes it OK then. it's OK if crazy people have guns to
slaughter 33 people, as long as they didn't tell anyone they're crazy.
uh huh.
It is not OK but you either have to loosen privacy laws about crazy
people or risk the danger of them buying guns. BTW the NRA says the
instant check should include mental health records. It is the left who
says that should remain private.-


and it's the NRA that opposes any restrictions on guns at all. it
opposed instant checks. it opposed taking guns away from crazy people,
wife abusers, etc.


in fact gun control is meaningless. we need to repeal the 2nd
amendment and ban guns completely.


If that is your desire I suggest you get started on the process to amend
the Constitution.-


if only i had the time. i work for a living.

Scopes and lasers are for people who can't shoot.

Scopes are quite useful to those of advancing years whose eyes are not

deer, for example, show themselves, as they can be used in dimmer
light than iron sights. The iron sights have advantages: lighter and
more compact, more rugged [usually], cheaper.

I agree. But in the context of the conversation, the poster was not even
using the proper terminology for iron sights, showing a lack of knowledge.
There are a lot of people who own guns who really don't understand them, or
are able to use them with much proficiency. They always want bigger
magazines and larger caliber, plus anything other gimmick that will
compensate for lack of skill and experience.

Steve




If you are referring to me...why would I call sights that are NOT iron
sights iron sights?

The stock sights on my rifle are fiber optic, front and rear.

I understand the etymology of the phrase, iron sights, but in some
instances it is outmoded, even if what has superseded it sort of
resembles "iron sights."

Now, my Sig pistol, it has "iron sights."

First five shot group at 100 yards from the new ZombieKiller Rifle. I
was plopped on a ground cloth and using the rifle's built-in sights.
Took a couple of shots first to sight in for elevation...there wasn't
any wind.

Tomorrow I'm going to try some shots with the new scope I just
attached. Once I get used to it, I should be able to put five between
the eyes of your typical zombie at 100 yards.


I have an old semi-auto 22 cal rifle with a 6x scope that I haven't
fired in 25 years or so.
I should get it out and do some practice myself.... just in case those
'zombies' make it across the border. ;-)

Yes, and as quasi federal agencies Fannie and Freddie should be
prohibited from all lobbying and political funding efforts.
Additionally, banks need to be limit their risks by percentage of
asset class and be totally prohibited from any kind of "off the books"
investing/financing. That's what killed Enron and it came close to
killing the entire banking system last year. You could argue that the
entire crisis was caused by too much money chasing too few credit
worthy borrowers, and that money was coming from bonds the investment
banking industry was churning out. Worst of all, they were holding
many of the bonds for their own account by borrowing cheap in
international markets and leveraging the purchase.

At least you are being honest now. How do you think that would work
out? Is the government going buy them all or are you repealing the 5th
amendment too.


you use the daniel patrick moynahan method. guns would be illegal.
you shut down gunsmiths, make the sale of ammo illegal, etc. over time
guns, being a mechanical object, would start to disappear as parts
became unavailable, no now guns entered the system, etc.

you destroy the gun culture along with the guns.

Took a couple of shots first to sight in for elevation...there wasn't

Tomorrow I'm going to try some shots with the new scope I just
attached. Once I get used to it, I should be able to put five between
the eyes of your typical zombie at 100 yards.

I have an old semi-auto 22 cal rifle with a 6x scope that I haven't

I should get it out and do some practice myself.... just in case those

using the kind of firepower and ammunition that any idiot can

Bookman continues: “It also reflects a growing mindset among some

I agree they all drank the Kool aid but "all" is the operative word.
To call this a GOP problem is not intellectually honest.
Bear in mind this was the same time that we were applauding Enron,
Worldcom, Adelphia and a host of other frauds as being "prosperity".
Greenspan was really the only one who was warning us that this might
just be an illusion but even he was half hearted about it.
It is very similar to the way we were relishing the housing market in
2006. I have to say, I knew enough to dump my home builder stocks the
day I heard Centex had stopped building "inventory" houses.
The signs were there. You just had to look.


And it was Rubin's, Clintons Sec of Treasury who pushed Glass-Steagall
dumping. Before he went to CitiBank and made it Citigroup. A pox on both
parties.

what's intellectually honest is to admit the free market has failed.

That is not a logical leap.


your argument is that making something illegal increases demand and is
ineffective at driving down the incidence of that event.

There is a significant difference between banning objects and making
violent crimes illegal.


violent crimes are banned. by your logic, everyone should be involved
in murder and rape because they're illegal. the only way to stop
murder is to legalize it.


fine. i'm willing to live with a small criminal enterprise instead of

Why do you thing gun running would be a small enterprise?


because today we have 300,000,000 guns in the country. that volume of

There is a lot of attention gathered by the drug business but that

You still haven't said how you would make those disappear.


i already did. sorry you can't read


The idea that you could stop the import of ammo is ludicrous. The
world is awash in it from all of our military misadventures. You also
have the problem that the equipment to reload ammo is everywhere. Guys
will be dusting off their old Rock Chuckers and rolling their own.


fine. it takes 25 years to get rid of guns? so what?


None of this affects criminals. They don't use that much ammo. They
usually shoot people with the bullets that were in the gun when it was
stolen.


ah. stolen. from gun owners who are too irresponsible to control
access to their weapons

yes, i know that. that's another reason to ban guns. gun owners are
too irresponsible to have them.


BTW using your number (300,000,000) that makes cars more dangerous
than guns. 200,000,000 cars kill more people than 300,000,000 guns.
Maybe we should ban them too. (I know, the "green" people are trying)

really? when's the last time your average crook stole a cop's weapon?

You ignore the millions of military arms we (and the Soviets) *flooded
South America with in the various anti commie wars.
The guys bringing in the cocaine can just throw a few AKs and ARs on
the pile. The mere fact that the Mexicans are complaining about
"machine guns" takes the US out of the mix. We haven't made or
imported a legal machine gun for the civilian market since the Reagan
administration.


?? it's the easiest thing in the world to buy a machine gun. in
allentown, PA there's a guy who sells them, legally, out of his house
on 9th avenue. i've watched his 8 year daughter shoot a tommie gun...

How high are you ASL. That makes the biggest difference in these
things. You can survive the wind but the water will get you.


My house is about 160 feet above sea level.
The hugh mature trees in the backyard scare me.


I bet they do, dummy. Just be happy you don't have "huge" trees!


That's odd, he named all of his trees "Hugh"?


Hugh trees were named for botanist Sir Dudley Hugh. A rare mutation of
the chestnut, the blight wiped them out and they are all but
forgotten.

We bike on what is known locally as the American Chestnut Land Trust, a
spot of land originally established to protect a large chestnut tree.
The trust now has several thousand wooded acres.

There are efforts long underway in Maryland to try to grow American
chestnut trees, and there have been many efforts to try to clone a
blight-resistant variety. I remember a couple of chestnut trees in
fields behind where our house was in New Haven, and the pods in which
the chestnuts grew. I'm sure the trees are long-gone now. They were big,
beautiful trees with large leaves.
