gun issues

http://www.cnbc.com/id/39554936?__source=vty|remingtondoc|&par=vty The article mentions inadvertent discharges; I wonder how many of these incidents are actually negligent discharges? While I feel for the woman who shot her son, I have to know, what was she doing pointing the rifle at her son...

I had a work-place violence training type of thing today. Signs to look for... What do to when the #2 hits the fan... ...etc... Fort Hood came up as an example. (This is the basics of the conversation.) A few of us during lunch started talking about it. "Well, there were signs, weren't...

Inspired by this thread. which I didn't want to derail with this question. What's up with the epidemic of violence in Mexico? Or South America in general. I know that the drug war plays a big part, but apart from that I have read many accounts of horrific violence and many women disappearing...

Anyone else getting sick of how NDP MPs are parlaying their position on the long gun registry and the upcoming vote into 15 minutes of media fame? Great, it gets a backbencher some air time. Strategically, though, this is so dumb. It's playing right into Harper's attempts to make this a...

Hillary's "De Facto Gun Ban" on Import of U.S. M1 & M1 Carbines From S. Korea "According to the ATF Guidebook on Firearms Importation, it would normally be legal to import the M1s because they are more than 50 years old, meaning they qualify as "curios or relics." But because the guns were...

I have been trying to get the WA law banning silencer use changed for the last several years. Part of the problem is that I keep hearing from my Senators and Representatives that silencers are illegal in the United States. To help clear a few things up, I am putting together a video explaining...

The Supreme Court just ruled that States and Local governments cannot infringe upon the 2nd ammendment. So go out and buy your guns! Whoo hoo!! Let's relive the wild west!

Much like oral hygiene, the Brits haven't got a clue about gun rights. After that crazy taxi cab mother ****er shot a bunch of unarmed civilians, it's about time the U.K. thought about adopting its own 2nd Amendment-type gun rights legislation. How many more people have to die before the Brits...

Feel free to elaborate. I chose No, with major exceptions. Those exceptions would be for certain classes and states. Violent criminals, major mental illness, discharging under the influence, high security locations, registered Republicans (j/king, that falls under the second class ;) )

Gun totin' patriots will assemble today at something called the Restore the Constitution rally at Ft. Hunt and Gravelly Parks in Virginia across the Potomac River from Washington. From The Washington Post: Why April 19th? No word yet if they plan to march across the river and take back...

A sad story, indeed... I assume that even if the guy didn't have a gun and second amendment rights, the incident would've happened anyway, right? [Asking the pro-gun crowd]

This I did not expect: Although it was argued that suicidal people will just find some other way to kill themselves, other methods are much less likely to be successful than a gun, which has a 90% success rate. What guns do is make crimes of passion frighteningly easy. People who buy guns...

In Laredo, a man has shot and killed an intruder and winds up indicted for murder. What is wrong in America today when a man who is defending his right to drinks and snacks faces prison time for shooting thirteen-year-old criminals in the back as they were running away? I just thank God that...

http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_219222607.html It seems the NYPD responded to a complaint made about a man threatening someone with a weapon. The above link contains a video of this story and a partial transcript. In the video, reporter Brendan Keefe claimed that "silencers are...

The Illinois state senate should do something about this. It should have done something about this ten years ago. What's the problem with the Illinois state senate? Why didn't it do anything about this epidemic of violence during the past ten years? It's a good thing Barack Obama is bringing...

Thats even allowing for the gang wars that are resulting in the deaths of violent criminals. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/02/1072908906612.html

http://www.ofcc.net/article1536.html I'll be there.

Dear Folksies, Alaska has gone Vermont!! (no permit required) What will happen to concealed carry permit holders elsewhere when Alaska has shootouts on every corner!!?? ...or, better, what will happen to CCW elsewhere when Alaska DOESN'T have shootouts on every corner!!?? And I quote...
