Is it time to call for truck control?
 
In the light of the Nice France attack, I think it is time to call for
truck control. We need to register all of the trucks. We need to
license all of the people owning and using trucks. We need to regulate
how fast they go, how much they can carry and we need to regulate
private sales, requiring that all are documented with the government.

Oh wait ... they do. Yet 84 people were killed and many more had
horrific injuries, caused by this fully automatic truck.

"In 2010, 3,675 people were killed in accidents with large trucks. That same year, 80,000 more were injured."

However, in 2010 there were 367 people killed by rifles. All types of rifles.

lol. Don't underestimate a lee enfield .303

I have one made be BSA in 1906. The cordite ammo and neglect over the years has taken the rifling out about a third of the way up the barrel.

Benched and with iron sites, I can still whack a groundhog at 200+ yards.

I love the .303s.

I never quite understood what a trigger lock was for unless you were
just trying to keep a toddler from using the gun. It would only slow
down a teenager for a few minutes and a thief can still steal the gun.
I was able to get the trigger lock off of a pistol I bought with a
paper clip, in about 30 seconds without any damage to the pistol or
the lock. If I did not care about the lock, it would have been more
like 5 seconds. using one of any number of common tools.
I really prefer locking up the whole gun, preferably in a safe that is
hard to find. Again, I think a big safe sitting in plain view is just
a target. These days, safe cracking tools are at the Home Depot. A
metal blade in a cutoff saw or even a grinder will make short work of
most safes (typically 16ga steel). If it is a "better" safe, go with a
diamond blade.

I know you do not have to store at a gun club. For $50 I can get a years
import permit for a long gun. And Mass is not an enlightened state.

My captain buddy in the British Virgin Islands insists that the salt concentration is higher nearer the Equator.
He knows a lot more about boats than The StinkyOne.


The real issue has more to do with temperature than salinity. Heat
makes chemical reactions go faster. Once you get over 30c, bad stuff
happens fast. The same is true about the nasties in swimming pools. My
Dutch neighbor does not understand that. The things that he does with
his pool in the winter around here (24-25 water) just will not work in
the summer. I declared a mutiny, changed the timer on his pump and
cranked up the chlorine generator, after it turned into a frog pond.

As for the rust thing, in tropical salt water, hot dipped galvanized
will rust out in 5 or 6 years.

In the light of the Nice France attack, I think it is time to call for
truck control. We need to register all of the trucks. We need to
license all of the people owning and using trucks. We need to regulate
how fast they go, how much they can carry and we need to regulate
private sales, requiring that all are documented with the government.

Oh wait ... they do. Yet 84 people were killed and many more had
horrific injuries, caused by this fully automatic truck.


Entirely predictable - a one time massacre of up to a hundred with a
truck outweighs (for example) the twenty thousand who shoot themselves
each and every year.
And if it is mentioned how this number can readily be reduced by social
forces, the predictable NRA response to that is:
"No - not so - they will just find another way to top themselves" which
by the way is evidentially disproven.

It certainly is not disproved by the japanese who have a far higher
suicide rate than the US with virtually zero guns.

Suicide is a mental health issue, not a gun issue.
