Scarborough gets it right
Fair enough, but I never said anything near "no one needs a 30 round clip". I was talking to a friend today and he happened to bring out his Chinese SKS with a 30 round clip. It was a pretty "tactical" looking weapon, what really caught my attention was the rounds, how sharp they were. Always thought bullets were more rounded. We were talking about the advantages of a 30 clip and agreed, it's just fun... but really not "necessary" for any legal use of the weapon. He thinks you guys are goofy getting all bent out of shape because I asked the obvious question BTW. Either way, it was interesting to talk so someone who had so much experience, and wasn't all defensive... so I could actually get to the point of my questions. When you absolutely lose it and decide your best way out is to shoot up a school or movie theater or dirtbike race and then commit suicide by cop, you'll probably want a fully auto, milled receiver AK47 with a 100-round magazine. |

How the hell would that stop someone who wanted to kill twenty kids? It might make him a little slower, but not much! Yeah, lets make it as easy as possible. That was kind of a stupid reply. C-4 would make it *very* easy. In fact, I'm wondering why some jihadist hasn't strapped a bomb to her chest and walked into a school cafeteria during lunchtime. Yeah, it wasn't the time for sarcasm. You got my point though. If the goal is to make the killing of 20 kids take 10 seconds longer, then it's a stupid goal! Do you get the point? Look who's being stupid... the goal is to make the potential killing of 20 kids result in less than 20 dead kids. The fewer the better. I don't buy your assertions. I'd much rather find a solution that would prevent the killing of all twenty, not just allow the killing of 19. I guess that's a hard one. |

I've several times mentioned MS-13 was active in your immediate area. I never said or implied that all Latinos were gang members. Springfield Mall has been dying for a decade, and a big reason is MS-13 gang activity. Maybe one day while you are out on your clapped out old motorcycle, you'll encounter a few MS-13 members, who will take your bike away from you. The worst elements of DC have moved out to the beltway and beyond because real estate values inside DC have priced them out of the market. PG and Arlington County used to be "Leave it to Beaver" land. PG has become a combat zone and I understand it is not much better on the other side of the bridge. Oh yes it is! You're right about PG county though. That place is a definite mess. Don't know what the problem is. ESAD lives pretty close. Maybe he can explain why PG County is the war zone it is. PG and DC have one thing in common. They are filled with people who believe that when the get elected or appointed to office that it is their duty to extract as much cash from the public, as possible, to pad their own pockets. DC has lost a couple of councilmen to jail recently and we have Mr. and Mrs. Jack Johnson in PG to show is that crime families. Jack Johnson's famous line is "pub the money in your underwear and walk out of the house." Almost as good as Mayor Marion "Mayor for Live" Barry who gave us the often used statement "the bitch set me up." If you want to move on to the appointed members of government we can go there. What can I say? All of that is certainly true. DC undertook a noble action when it fired a large number of totally worthless teachers. But, we then got a new administration - which promptly rehired the pieces of ****. Oh well, best to start the problems at an early age. I note that ESAD never addresses the gangs in DC and PG County. It's always the Latinos elsewhere. |

Actually, **** for brains, you live a lot closer to PG County than I do. What do you think is on the other side of that fancy new bridge that crosses the Potomac from Alexandria? PG County. PG County is, what, about six miles from your house. We're not nearly that close. Besides, while PG County has some bad spots, it is a mostly rural county with some nice areas, and not nearly as congested as Fairfax County, Virginia, where you live and especially your part of that county, which has bumper to bumper traffic on its roads from 5 am to 7 pm weekdays. When we frequented your neighborhood, we saw drug deals going down at least once a week in that Safeway parking lot you can walk to in 15 minutes from your house at the same time the county mounties were looking for cars with expired county stickers in townhouse parking lots. Hell, the best thing in your 'hood, the Greek diner at the bottom of Van Dorn is gone, replaced by another bank. ESAD! Have you been stalking my neighborhood again? Were you looking for the Guzzi? It was probably out in my Maryland-red barn out back - the one with the twin Volvo diesels inside. What a joke. |

It was rural when I was there but it is very built up now. I doubt you could find a safe place to hunt anywhere in PG. We used to shoot quail just South west of 210 and Oxon Hill Rd and we would hunt ducks down there on the river where that new metroplex is now. I am also amazed at how built up Chuck County was the last time I was up there (July) When you get down south of Leonardtown it starts looking familiar but there are still a lot of new houses. You can't get much further south than Leonardtown. We go a little further south to the Navy rec center by Solomon's Island. Great place for camping. We've been taking the kids and grandkids there for a week+ the past couple years. |

But I am starting to wonder why you need a 30 round clip? Since when do we base what we can buy by what we need. Nobody NEEDS a motorcycle. Some might need a motorcycle, but nobody needs a race motorcycle. Just like the former police chief n San Jose California. Since he was a cop, got to carry all the time, but stated no civilian needed a firearm. Max speed limit was 65 in the state, but he drove a top of the line Jaguar. Uh, not really an accurate analogy. We are not asking for equipment or experience to be exclusively for me... But what you folks getting so defensive about is bogus, I consider "because I want it" *is* a legitimate reason to be weighed when considering situation... I am getting the feeling that because of the question you all think I am against your right to bear... well, the ones who really don't read what I have said anyway:) LOL! I laugh at your use of the word 'defensive' as though folks are trying to make an excuse for their own stupid behavior. When someone is putting *you* down, they are being 'offensive'. |

Duc and I took a 50 mile round trip to Home Despot earlier today, ISO some Honeywell timer switches and some dimmer switches. LOL! I wonder if the local MS 13 fellas noticed the old guy on the fire engine red Duc as he was slow cruising down the boulavard? ~~~only in their dreams~~~~ |
