Considering the one you brag about the most was designed as an implement of war to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time, your rage against the gun seems disingenuous at best. My recognition and appreciation of the fact that firearms are inherently dangerous qualifies me as a gun owner and hobbyist, n'est-ce pas? I'm hardly a gun nut. I believe the current interpretation of the 2nd Amendment grossly and incorrectly states the position of the founders on firearms. I think all firearms should be registered, that all sales should have a paper trail, that all gun owners be qualified by mandatory training, that all firearms should be kept away from minors. I suggest that those who believe otherwise are the gun nuts. You, Herring, and Wayne are the gun nuts. I do own an AR-15 and aside from the fact it doesn't have an autofire mode, it is pretty much the same as many that have been issued to military personnel. I have disassembled the rifle down to the smallest pin and spring, replaced some parts and reassembled it properly. I do not strap it on and walk down the streets with it, nor would I wear it into Target or a fast food restaurant. When I am not using it, it lives in a safe. When I take it out of the safe, it is either to modify something or to take it to the range. Hardly the behavior of a gun nut. Oh, and if a kid takes a parent's gun to school and shoots people, I think the kid's parents should face criminal penalties. Hardly the position of a gun nut. So, once again, you are wrong. Un Huh. You are certainly working overtime to rationalize your obsession with your guns. Other than ad hominem attacks on other posters, it is the only thing you talk about. Well, this isn't a venue where I'd discuss anything of real significance to me. Too many snarky assholes. And you are the leader. |

Although the full autopsy had not been completed, officials released new details on Wednesday. “She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn’t get it to fit the way she wanted it to. She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon,” St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp said. According to an obituary published by Florin Funeral Service, Bond joined the U.S. Navy out of high school, and served two terms as an active Military Police. She was an administrator for the Road to Life Church, and an “active member of the Christian Motorcycle Association.” The obituary described Bond as being “on FIRE for the LORD.” Fired herself from life. She was "looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon." If she could fire a gun simply by looking at it, she didn't really need a gun to defend herself. :) She was clearly a very capable person. But it's clear that the more time you spend with a weapon and the more you handle it, the more likely you'll be bitten by the odds of a mishap. Very astute observation. Reckon that's true of driving a car, flying, skiing, boating, and on and on. Life is a dangerous occupation, and we all lose. Fortunately, all those other items provide something other than a quick death in their use. And please don't start with all the crimes thwarted. They've long been debunked as frighteningly overblown false positives. Plus, the variety of mishaps that occur with those other items are far less likely to be deadly than those that occur with a gun. Bull****, conjecture, bull****... |
