Re: thread redirection
Hunting rifles - not restricted as handguns should be, but most if not all of your suggestions should apply
vice presidents shouldn't be allowed to have them *snickers*
Any amunition not nessesary to kill a deer or a rat becomes illegal

Re: thread redirection
if it is incapable of being fired, it is no longer really a firearm and probably shouldn't require a license. there's a difference between that and an individual which has functional but unused arms.

Re: Psychological profiles
he was required to enter an institution involuntarily, but the fact that he never entered it was the loophole that allowed him to pass the background check. they have since fixed that problem.

Re: Criminals will still get guns
And the fact that a lot of these people died from starvation (thanks to collectivization of agriculture) means they should have had guns?
if you're referring to the false famines under stalin, i think you ought to reconsider your opinion on it. they were instituted to break the will of a potentially dissident group.
And if you'll pay attention to the thread, both schraf and brenna have put forward some solutions.
but nuggin hasn't done anything but whine either, so we'll let the ns do nothing.

Re: Criminals will still get guns
Justafiable use of a firearm in self defense is quite rare, according to the evidence.
your evidence if i remember only makes it rare in comparison to homicide. but i might be wrong. of course if homicide is decreasing, then self-defense must be as well. i's just being a pain. ignore me.

(The human clavicle makes it fairly hard to deliver a fatal blow with a chopping, overhand attack with something as light as a machete.)

Re: Psychological profiles
What the test really was is something that penalizes the honest, but passes the dishonest. I could have lied. I could have given them everything they wanted to hear to make myself out to be the very quintessence of a goody-two-shoes. But that would have been wrong of me to do.
it's not designed to penalize the honest. the fact that you were stuck with a poor clinician is a big issue. however, it is designed to trip up the severely disturbed and identify personality issues. i've taken one too. i didn't describe how i take great pleasure in utterly annihilating insects and arachnids when it asked me about being cruel to animals. centipedes may technically be animals but THEY DESERVE TO DIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
being overtly honest is actually symptomatic of a few personality issues. so maybe the police department is better off than you think

But a few high-profile cases of pedophiles sent away for a long time on the basis of cell-phone video evidence would be an incredible deterrent, I would think.
you just convinced me to get my kids cell phones.
now back to guns.

Re: No Self Defense
When we reply that that's not what we said, you say "You haven't offered any solutions."
BECAUSE WE"VE SPENT ALL OUR TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU GODDAMN MOUTHBREATHERS WHAT THE FUCKING DEBATE IS ABOUT!!!!
message 186, thread redirection
well that's easy enough to say.
where do you propose we draw it?
i say we turn a new page in this thread and go in that direction.
this post was a response to you and you haven't made any additions.

well, considering that all of my research talks about people being cut into several pieces and children being forced to watch their parents be decapitated, i think maybe your 'death by sepsis' is a bit misaimed. i mean, i guess if you cut off someone's legs and arms and hack out her guts and her unborn fetus (so someone doesn't jump on me) and take a few whacks at her head and neck, then she really does die of bloodloss. but, i think somewhere in there we hit fatal wounding.
last one, admin, i promise.

Re: Psychological profiles
you're really not contributing to anything. why don't you suggest your own policies or move along.
