$1500 Cash Reward
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message news Self-protection involves killing people so rarely in a statistical sense that it is meaningless as a justification for handguns. Even self-protection is rarely required in civilized societies. And handguns are poor weapons for hunting. Only takes once. In areas without guns, most criminals are unarmed. Baseless nonsense. In fact, this is true even in areas with guns, since the penalties for using a gun to commit a crime can be very severe, and since guns are expensive. Makes no difference to a criminal. How many times have you had to kill someone during those 30 years? Many overwhelming stories of people who have saved their lives, and the lives of others by being legally armed. |

"chris" wrote in message ... Oh my God! Please tell me you don't actually believe that?? I suppose you leave your guns loaded too?? AFAIK you can't even get a handgun over here without great difficulty - we sure as hell don't want a bunch of people running around with guns!! I keep three loaded guns in my home, unloaded gun are about as useful as a small hammer. I carry one most everywhere I go, kind of like a spare tire in the car. I haven't used either in more than 30 years. But if I ever need either, I bet I will be glad I have them. |

"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Matt Whiting writes: Fortunately, I live in a rural area where this isn't likely to happen, but if a band of terrorists came through here, I wouldn't need to call the police and wait. I'd just call a few neighbors and load my weapons. What you are overlooking is the fact that a band of terrorists will _never_ come through your neighborhood. They are about as likely as a meteor strike. What precautions have you taken against meteors? There are countless stories of people victimized in there homes without warning, and it happens in every country. You don't need foreign terrorist to be victimized. On the flip side, there are millions of legal firearms, owned and carried by responsible citizens, that never harm as much as a rabbit. Allowing responsible citizens to own and carry firearms, has nothing to do with the crime rate. You're a moron. |

"chris" wrote in message ... Those arguments are usually the ones I hear levelled against advocates of gun control. Think about this though - IMHO it is the sheer fact that guns are such a part of the society that they are present to be used by criminals. If guns were controlled then there would be far fewer for the crims to lay their hands on. That really has little to do with reality. If criminals can import herion and cocane, what do you think would stop them from importing firearms? |

"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... It is orders of magnitude more difficult to obtain a pilot's license in the U.S. than it is to obtain a gun. In fact, you can arm yourself with automatic weapons and cannons more easily than you can obtain a pilot's license. That's because we are scared ****less, that some moron like you will try to fly a plane. We can just simply shoot you, but a plane would be harder to stop. |

If this - theoretically - happens in the US and the people in the US wearing weapons to defend them against a conquerer (as you stated above), do you then call them also insurgents? If the fighters in the US came from Canada or Mexico they would be insurgents. Just like the people from Iran, etc. who are streaming into Iraq to fight. Matt No really they wouldn't be. in·sur·gent (Ä*n-sûr'jÉ™nt) adj. Rising in revolt against established authority, especially a government. Rebelling against the leadership of a political party. |

Here as I understand it the police won't allow you a firearms license without showing them you have them safely locked away in some sort of safe, and if they were to find out you kept your gun in your hangar / aeroplane they'd go ballistic! That's because you have been indoctrinated to fear firearms and that no "good' person should ever need one and they are 'dangerous'. A "locked away" gun is about as worthless as tits on a boar hog. Let me tell you it is the person holding the firearm that is dangerous, and if it were not a pistol it could be a knife, a club or a bomb or even bare hands. As long as the world is full of 'bad' people it is up to 'good' people to be ready to protect themselves and others. Yawn, Yawn, Yawn! Don't worry, we'll even protect ignorant folk such as yourself. Hey, that wasn't me - I think whoever it was thought it would be fun to impersonate me :-) Anyhow, i don't see the point of handguns. Neither do the police in this country. Why? At least with a rifle you can go hunting, but all handgun, or anything automatic, is good for is killing people. Why the hell would anyone be comfortable with the general population running around with weapons like that? All this talk of protecting yourself smells like bull**** to me - I can't see any time when it is acceptable for a person to take anothers' life... And when I hear that you can get a permit to carry a concealed handgun - please tell me that's not true??? It's not only true but I have such a permit in my pocket as I type this. As far as not ever seeing a time when taking a life is acceptable. I have to ask would you not do so to protect your family? If not that is just sad. |

ammonium nitrate, dip****. Ammonium nitrate won't do it. I asked about something readily accessible. Something convenient and easy to use, in other words. Something that kills at a distance without endangering the killer. Something that can be used on the spur of the moment. Ammonium nitrate, even when used as a bomb ingredient, does not meet these criteria. There have been very few mass murders carried out by individuals with ammonium nitrate. |
