I've several times mentioned MS-13 was active in your immediate area. I

Maybe one day while you are out on your clapped out old motorcycle,

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

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

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.



I don't live in the District of Columbia or Prince Georges County, and
you live a lot closer to the District and PG County than I do. But,
heck, you've got MS-13 right close to you...no need to drive across
state lines or into another county.

We did have a meth lab in operation about five years ago about 10 miles
away. The sheriff closed it down and the rumors are the sheriff informed
its operators they had a couple of hours to leave the county or they'd
all be shot dead in an even bigger raid. But I think the operators of
the lab were white trash like you, not minorities.


You don't live here either, but you've got a mouth full of negative
comments about the Latinos in
the area.

Your comments, ESAD, would be considered racist by krause or Kevin.


What Latinos other than gang members?

Fair enough, but I never said anything near "no one needs a 30 round

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.


And you would probably kill less than with the semi auto. After the gun
climbs and puts most of the rounds in the ceiling, most will still be
alive.

The California Legislature was Democrat. The bill was a California bill.

Proof you have no remaining ties whatsoever to the Democratic Party.

No self-respecting Democrat ever refers to the party as "Democrat."
It's a use fostered by Rush and taken up by Republican stooges.

Indeed. It is the Democratic Party, and and individual acolyte is a
Democrat and more than one are Democrats. Thus, the California
legislature was Democratic, made up mostly of Democrats.


And it still is, and still overspending like crazy!


Only Democrats overspend, right??!


Nope, but the Dem's these days seem to be making it an art.

It really does define a lot of the US. We seem to be the cutting edge of

Your view that MS-13 isn't in Calvert County is a myth. You believe that
since you, residents of Calvert County, are remote, rural or otherwise
worthless is another myth.

Sounds like a solution you are familiar with, the threat of violence to
gain compliance. Makes you wonder if the the Democrats are going to do
what the ChiComs want them to do and disarm the US populace. Or, is that
how you dealt with your children and that is why they don't talk to you
anymore.

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

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.


It is. I don't think it's effective to hold out for perfection.

And it's all politics on both sides of the argument...

seems like an excuse to do nothing. I'll take improvement.


It's "politics" to not want innocent children dying?? You ARE a ****ing

Leonardtown is SW of the Navy Rec Center. No wonder we lost the war

Seems as if there are a couple questions to be answered. First,
why
did a
person decide to massacre a room full of kids. And second, why
target
assault rifles because of this. He used pistols.

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

My understanding is that he used an assault type rifle or clone of
one
to kill the children and adults.
He used a pistol to kill himself.

Raises a disturbing question though. Those who advocate bans on
assault and or/high capacity weapons (me included) have to
acknowledge that a "number" is basically being established in
terms of
how many people a nut case can kill with one weapon. A magazine
capacity of no more than 10 rounds seems to be a common
recommendation. In fact, Dianne Feinstein (D) California just
announced that she will introduce a bill immediately that limits
magazine rounds to 10.

So, does that mean that 10 people killed is an "acceptable" number
in
our society? Wouldn't 5 be better . How about 1?
There are those who advocate banning guns altogether in the false
hope
that it would end these tragic events, but it won't. Too many
guns
exist and there are many other ways for nut cases to carry out
mass
murders. Banning guns isn't the answer.

I find it a little strange that any number can be placed on
magazine
capacity that is "acceptable".

How about if I can change magazines in three seconds (very easy,
especially if one is taped to the
other)? Then it takes only three seconds more to get up to twenty
rounds. Another four or five
seconds, depending on the location of the new magazine, to get up
to thirty rounds off.

Magazine limiting should be done, but just to keep some folks
happy. It won't stop a determined
killer in any way.

It will.

Bull****. A few short practice sessions in the bedroom would make it
quite easy to change 10 round
magazines quite rapidly.

I have been watching videos of people put into situations where
they think they are drawing on a situation. Some dropped the weapon,
some froze, some got the thing caught in their tee shirt...

Well, there you go. We should go to ten round magazines because anyone
using more than one will drop
his weapon, freeze, or get the magazine caught in a tee shirt.

Right.

A couple of the last shootings were stopped dead in their tracks when
the shooter had mechanical problems, or had a bad clip, or jammed the
weapon changing clips... Like I said, 1-10 is for defense. 30 is
either for penis power, or offense...

The jamming of a weapon may or may not be due to the clip. You've said
nothing here that shows a ten
round clip to be less usable for killing than a 30 round clip - penis
power or not.

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

There's no question that killing someone with a single shot derringer
is possible. That's not really the question or issue.
What has to be resolved in order to make any kind of meaningful gun
control reform possible in this country is to define what
the designed purpose of a weapon is. Defensive? Offensive? Yes,
you can still kill with a gun primarily designed as a defensive
weapon. But why make guns primarily designed as "offensive" weapons
generally available to Joe Doe public? Doesn't make any sense.

I agree. I see no need for AR-15s or the like in the marketplace. My point is that outlawing them
would have little effect on a determined killer, who could use a 'hunting rifle', like the ones I
showed you, with 10-round magazines (or 30 if they're not outlawed) and accomplish the same thing.

But, I'm all for outlawing assault weapons, and magazines which hold more than 10 rounds.

I just don't think it would make much difference to a killer.

If you feel that way then why support a ban? The AR15 is a useful
weapon for hunting and recreational shooting and the Colts are a
military collectors piece. Many will say that my Ruger 10/22 is a
deadlier weapon than a higher-powered rifle like the .223. Evidently the
..22LR will not simply pass through the point of entry like a larger
caliber, it will do more damage to more organs.
