Hell, we used to have BB gun wars on my uncle's farm!

Very safe fun, and brilliantly smart.

Duh


Tim June 17th 05 05:09 PM

Hmm, I find it odd that you right wingers are pro gun, except when it
comes to something personal.

When it comes to somthing personal????

I'm deffinately pro-gun.
ALL firearms ( that includes BB and pellet OR maybe you exclude
those) should be used in a legal, lawful manner.

No big deal unless that BB hit you, right?

We used to have blackberry fights on my mother's aunt's farm somewhere
near Revere, Massachusetts. That's about all I remember of that place.


Harry, it is obvious from remarks you've made that you care a great deal for
basskisser, so why don't you tell him to email prospective posts to you for
review before he makes a fool of himself?

Have 2 eyes now? If so, you are lucky. Other's were not. Like I said, kids
shooting bb guns has ruined a man's life. It is inexcusable to shoot at
passing cars.

So, you agree that they should be charged with Terroristic acts????
Hmm, I find it odd that you right wingers are pro gun, except when it
comes to something personal. And sure, it's wrong to shoot at passing
cars, who said it wasn't? But, I'll tell you this, with a little Daisy,
by the time that bb gets to the car, it's going REAL SLOW. Should we
outlaw sticks, too? They've been known to take people's eyes out. Hell,
maybe even more eyes have been lost to sticks. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission estimates that in 2003, there were 550,000 to 600,000
injuries associated with bicycles and 97,640 injuries from skateboards
that required emergency room treatment, compared with 19,504 for air
guns -- including the high-powered air guns.


I know, I shouldn't say anything to you, so I'll be nice.

Even if the bb is going 'very' slow, wouldn't the speed of the car still be able
to cause the impact to be severe? Did you ever see what a small rock, going very
slow, does to the windshield of a car going 60mph?

The law in Georgia specifies terroristic acts. Are you asking for
agreement/disagreement with the laws of Georgia? Why? So your slam at DHS will
make sense?

How about just saying, "OK, I made a mistake."

Oh, ****!!!! I spilled my water bottle laughing at that!!! Hmm, that
would mean that the kids would have to be in FRONT of the vehicle. If
they were behind then the car could be going faster than the bb. Would
that make the driver of the CAR guilty of terroristic threats?

The law in Georgia specifies terroristic acts.


I didn't say "terroristic acts", it's great how you twist things to
make it sound like you know what you're talking about. I said
"terroristic THREATS". Show me that GA law.

Yes, how about saying just that, John. You made a mistake.

How have I done so, John? You've got "acts" mixed up with "threats",
for starters.

Kevin,

Yes they would have arrested anyone who shot at passing cars with any gun,
they would have arrested anyone who dropped something off a bridge on
passing cars. The law they charge the person with is "Terroristic Threats".
They have arrested and charged and people have been found guilty of such
crimes for many years. I can remember in the 60's when kids were arrested
and charged for Terroristic Threats for dropping pebbles off a bridge onto
passing cars. I can also remember a time in the 70's when people were
convicted of shooting a BB gun at the LI express.


Oh, horse****! I lived in those days too, and never heard of such ****.
Have any proof? Oh, and please, try to act like you know something, I'm
not Kevin.

The fact you do not believe the police would charge kids or anyone else for
shooting at cars with a BB gun speaks volumes about you.


Please show where I ever said such a thing! Quite the opposite. I said
that they would charge someone with something, but NOT TERRORISTIC
THREATS....please, try to follow....

Anyone with a
brain are glad the police do not allow kids to shot BB guns at passing cars.


Again, try to follow a train of thought, okay? Where to HELL did I say
that kids should "be allowed" to shoot bb guns at passing cars? Oh, and
it IS SHOOT, not shot.

Kevin,
I know you know people could be prosecuted for terrorist acts way before
their was a Homeland Security Act. What makes you think this crime and
the
prosecution of this crime has anything to do with the Homeland Security
Act?


It's simple, try to follow along, okay? The Homeland Security Act
simply made it easier to convict persons. Do you HONESTLY think that
before the act, that they would arrest a couple of kids sitting on a
hill with a damned BB gun shooting at the sides of cars with
TERRORISTIC acts? Come on!!!!!

You must make liberals cringe whenever you open you mouth. You are an
embarrassment to liberals all over the world.


And because of your narrow mindedness, you're an embarrassment to
yourself! But, the Right Wing Circle Jerk Club will love you for it!

No? I guess you don't even know what you initially posted. Here is one
sentence from that post of yours: "Now, a couple of young boys in northern
GA were arrested for "terroristic acts"."

Idiot.

The kid could be on the side of the road in front of the vehicle, on an
overpass in front of the vehicle. I had a company car that got hit by a
quart bottle of liquid dropped from an overpass and there was major damage
to the window frame where it hit. Lucked out that he was a second slow in
dropping or it would have come through the windshield. We have had people
killed by people rocks dropped off overpasses, as well as snipers have
killed people. Is a serious case of terrorism to the drivers when there is
a sniper loose.
