Many lives were saved and many more could have been saved, too, if the limit had been decreased even farther to 5-10 MPH or even lower. Think of the lives that could have been saved! However, a group of hoodlums promoting the false god of common sense not only kept that from happening, but returned us to speeds as high as or higher than before. Speed (like guns) KILLS! * I thought president Ford demanded a mandatory 55 mph speed limit to promote fuel economy and cut *oil consumption seeing there was a supposed 'shortage' and pump gas jumped from .35c to a whopping .74c a gallon practically over night. It was Tricky Dick. OOPS! You're right. I forgot it was installed in '74. |

I'm just astonished at the utter stupidity underlying many of the "accidents." Example: how dumb do you have to be to make sure a firearm is unloaded before you clean it? ---------------------------------------------- Some of the pistols can be confusing ... especially the ones on the "MA Compliant" list up here. There are so many supposed "safeties" on them that you really have to stop and think about the one you are handling if you don't use it often. I have a Walther PPK/2. To lock the slide open, you first release the magazine. That allows the slide to lock in the open position. Won't lock open if there's a magazine installed. To release the slide, a magazine must be re-inserted ... either loaded or empty. The actual "safety" switch is really a de-cocker. It puts a barrier plate up so when the slide is released, it prevents the hammer from hitting the firing pin. It took me a while to understand how to use it and it's different than some of the other pistols I've tried. I can kinda see how someone could screw up if they have several guns with different operating characteristics or procedures. That's why I like revolvers. Simple. Is that the PPK M2? I tried but couldn't find the PPK/2 on the Walther site. ------------------------------------------------- My mistake. It's a PPK/S (although Walther *does* make a PPK2) Here's the one I have: http://www.impactguns.com/data/defau.../wal_15562.jpg BTW. look what Bud's Guns has in stock: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...ducts_id/74322 Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument! |
