Would it be the same with a cross-bow?Would it be the same burning holes with a laser rifle?Or do you need a visceral feeling of gun going off with odeur de gunsmoke?Would a cap pistol suffice? A cap-pistol-laser-rifle combo?How about the visuals compared to video games like Bond (where you can pretend to save the world)?How about playing paint-ball?I'm just curious what is the reasoning here.Enjoy

And I can see where gun clubs could serve that purpose, acting as an armory for the members, even for automatic weapons, and also where you would have to check your gun out to go hunting -- they could make sure you were proficient with the weapon, seemed mentally stable, issue gun and ammunition appropriate for hunting, and act as a repository if weapons in case of invasion or insurrection (under the local police-chief\sheriff command) and that this would fill the second amendment qualifications for the formation of a well regulated militia.What I don't like is vigilante "justice" (al la Zimmerman or people that shoot intruders).Enjoy.

yes

Indeed. It is rather difficult to shoot a hurricane or a drought ... but food, water and energy will help.And if I were going to rate the likelihood of various disasters I would rate those way higher than some internal military action.See Tank Town - Rainwater Collection Since 1994!EnjoyEdited by RAZD, : ..

It's okay Percy, because she had a permit for a concealed weapon, that automatically makes it a good shoot.And because she was not shot by a bad actor with a gun, then she must have been the bad actor with the gun, and that justifies the shooting ...

specially if it's 45 ...

Is that a Darwin Award and an Honorable Mention?

That's why he gets the Honorable Mention ... the award goes to the guy stupid enough to be in the same room with him and a loaded gun.

Arbitrary indeed when a musket has a large bore but the damage potential is close to a 22 and doesn't have an option for automatic/rapid fire.So one could set an arbitrary limit to the damage potential of a musket in the time it takes to reload a musket.

Curiously I can work with that. I would exclude certain special forces that would respond to drug war and SWAT teams, and I would like those to be restricted from general use.The average police officer has a handgun. There may be a shotgun in the trunk (ie not readily accessible).

There has been a market response:bulletproof backpacks - SearchNot sure which it protects more, the child or the peace of mind of the parent ...

Unless it were incorporated into a snowmobile suit, eh?

An ex-felon is generally regarded as someone who was convicted of a felony and who has paid the price (a fine or a specified time in jail, depending on the offense).The problem is that many states stigmatize ex-felons as likely to repeat and so it is hard to get a job and hard to make a go of a reformed life.Many states also take away voting rights for anyone ever convicted of a felony, and this isn't reinstated once they become ex-felons.This is another tool the south uses to keep blacks from voting, as even minor trumped up felony charges result in loss of voting rights.Welcome to the new\old Jim CrowEnjoy

But not all states. Mostly red ones. Progressive states reinstate pre-felony rights once the "debt to society" had been paid.(personally I don't see how stealing a loaf of bread invalidates one from having a right to vote, but that is another issue).If your pre-felony rights are restored is that not becoming an real ex-con?Enjoy
