Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

"Ever hear of suicide by cop? There are many examples where the person will actually start killing cops then to get the cops to kill the person. It's a well documented fact. When someone points a gun at you, you DO WHAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO in this circumstance: Shoot to kill.

Oh of course no doubt but in that situation I'd consider the person more a threat to the cop than himself.  I understand your point though.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

k felt like poking my head in here, though only had time to read throuhg the first page right now.

to whoever started the point about the police having guns: ye our police have guns. so wot. its the police's job to enforce the law which often requires different levels of force. it is not however your job to enforce the law and so you should not need a gun just because the police have them.

flint you need to stop compaing guns with pools and cars. ppl die in pools and cars by accident. they are part of the everyday risks of life. guns dont kill ppl by accident. the purpose of a pool is to provide a place to swim in, for pleasure or for fitness. the purpose of a car is to be able to transport yourself around easily and quickly. but the purpose of a gun is to kill. so if sum1 dies in a pool, its an accident and cant be helped. but if sum1 dies to a gun, then the gun fulfilled its purpose. a gun adds nothing to everyday life, so the lack of one makes no difference.

so tell me. why do so many of you americans think its a gd idea for guns to be so easy to obtain?

I was using a metaphor that means God is watching us. You've heard this, there's a toilet on the roof.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

The reason I've found while talking with them Archangel is that it says in the constitution that they can have guns. That's the only "valid" argument that they have. Rather stupid argument but it's the only one they seem to need.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

"JULY 8--Lured by $1 beer and the prospect of "hot chicks" and "hardcore fights," thousands of Arkansans were duped last month into appearing as extras in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's latest staged mayhem. Cohen and his confederates organized cage fighting programs on consecutive days in Texarkana and Fort Smith. Both cards ended with two male grapplers (one was identified as "Straight Dave" and wore camouflage) tearing each other's clothes off and, while in underwear, kissing down their opponent's chest. This man-on-man action triggered Fort Smith fans to throw chairs and beer at the ring, according to one cop present at the city's Convention Center. [Click here and here to read bulletin board messages posted in early-June by miffed mixed martial arts fans who attended one of Cohen's Arkansas productions.] Cohen is currently filming a follow-up, of sorts, to his smash 2006 film featuring Borat, his fictional Kazakh journalist. The new film stars another of Cohen's creations, Bruno, a gay Austrian journalist who favors mesh t-shirts and interviews subjects about fashion and entertainment. The June 5 Texarkana promotion was adverstised as "Red, White, and Blood." The June 6 matches in Fort Smith were dubbed "Blue Collar Brawlin'" as seen in the below poster. Ads on Craigslist--like this one--noted that attendees had to be over 21 and suggested that fans arrive early "for $1 BEERS!" Cohen & Co. underwrote the cost of beer, which usually sells for $4 at the Fort Smith facility. "Blue Collar Brawlin'" drew about 1500 fans, who were greeted by signs stating that the event was being filmed. Attendees were also not allowed in with cameras or cell phones and some were asked to sign releases. The "Blue Collar Brawlin'" web site (fortsmithfight.com) was registered two weeks before the event in the name of "Peto Philer" of Algeria. The site, which remains live but has been stripped of all content, appears to be currently hosted on servers in Los Angeles. "

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

@ Archy....and Dragon

I believe, it is your right, NOT to want to own a gun.

Why is it, YOU ...both.... have to question why I SHOULD own a gun ??

Who are you....both ?


Why is there a need to tell ... ME ... that I should not be allowed to own a gun ??

Why do you feel the Govt. knows what is best, and should have the power to BAN a citizen to own a Gun if they wish ??

I also believe, that  as is the right given to me, in MY Constitution, that I should have the ability to own a gun if I want.

Just because you all believe your Socialist Govts. are so good, you know, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco,....Now you have Putin, and people like him.

You all feel so safe with such model leaders as these, Hey....you dont need guns then.
Us in America ??   We feel very secure and safe w/our guns.

We like shooting people...

Dont you watch John Wayne movies ??

lol so you think they do not have the right to question things?

"Why do you feel the Govt. knows what is best, and should have the power to BAN a citizen to own a Gun if they wish ??"

Probably not in your country, but in mine the Govt is the people.

"Just because you all believe your Socialist Govts. are so good, you know, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco,....Now you have Putin, and people like him."

You have Bush, and guess what? People like HIM.

"You all feel so safe with such model leaders as these, Hey....you dont need guns then"

You leave in a country where the majority of the population does not have any power. And the politicians just give you guns so that you can feel "save". How naive

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Hmm,
"I also believe, that  as is the right given to me, in MY Constitution, that I should have the ability to own a gun if I want."
The constitution that can be edited by the government, and was instated by the first government there.

"Why do you feel the Govt. knows what is best, and should have the power to BAN a citizen to own a Gun if they wish ??"
But you already do. As you said above.

And as Freelancer says, our government is the people.

You need to study American Constitutional Law, befor you can make a statement like that.

Your Govt. is NOT the people.  Your Govt. is elected by people, and is a representation of the people....until they can be removed.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

guns are great for shooting other people, but not so good when someone is shooting at you.

personally id love to own a gun- if it was legal id own a 12-bore shotgun, .357 revolver & 9mm semi-auto. damn politicians. criminals own browning 9mm, mac 10s etc but the public cant

Criminals aren't allowed to own them either lol tongue

Government is supposed to be the people. Now representing them. So make sure they do as you want them to. Or you change your government system. I'd say you change your system alot to make it good.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

I think if we could vote on an America where people don't try murderous holdups and home invasions, it would win.

But we can't vote that away.

We have violent individual crooks and some of the most violent organized criminals in the world.  The worst of other countries come here because people are innocent until proved guilty and our govt is too weak to throw illegal visitors out.

The threats are real and your political solution of waiting for someone to summon a cop and waiting for the cops to show up will get people killed.

And we reject the broader concept that the People must be forbidden to do what govt can't.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Well it would take a long time to deal with all of that. But a starter is to make it harder to get ahold of guns in the frist place.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

The smarter solution would be to have every congressman on TV slit a portion of his arm, dip a quill in it, and sign a proclamation of a horrific, painful, unappealable death penalty to be caught using a gun in commission of a crime or to own a gun after being convicted of a major felony and to have this play, by FCC demand, on national TV for 3 days straight, all channels, and show the president signing it into law.


That would be smarter than saying first step is make it hardest for the legal people to keep legal then work on the illegal people.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Well what you say seems impossible so a more reasonable step is to make it harder to buy a gun. People that have been in prison for violent crimes shouldn't be able to buy any i.e.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

There were less to start and geographic, ethnic, social, and other factors which contribute to the lesser crime. But!!! After guns were banned there they all experienced an increase in crime! ALL OF THEM EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN CRIME HIGHER THAN INCREASES IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE GUNS WERE NOT BANNED!!!!

Yes it's an amazing thought, but it's 100% true as supported by evidence in the 30+ threads in the past on this topic.

The United States has two ethnic, three sociological, and two geographic reasons for our crime that I can think of. Where Europes divisions resulted in wars between nations, more often than not, the United States cannot have this 'steam outlet' like they had. Oh damn we had an old ethnic issue also in the Irish, though since gone, it still did do it's fair share here.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Dragon likes his Govt. to run everything for him.

People like him BELIEVE Govt. is big brother, and will take care of their every whim.

Govt. will Educate them, give them health care, give them housing, keep them safe, and provide for their retirement.
Govt. is the Mother and Father for their Adult life.....

After all, only GOVT can keep people safe.

Soon, Govt. will feed and cloth them, and give them a vehicle as well.

"Dragon likes his Govt. to run everything for him."

You are so focus in your opinion that you can't accept or even see other points of view. Govt is not the big brother, we are the big brother we all are. We help each other do you find a problem with that?

"Govt. will Educate"

Not the govt the teachers will. If you are rich you can go to a private school, if not you can go to a public skull (much like in USA)

"give them health care"

Not the govt, we pay our selfs, some people pay more the others but thats a way of helping each other. And guess what its cheaper and every one gets an exellent quality of healthcare!!!

In 2007 US the per capita expenditure on health was 5,771 dolars in france it was only 2,669 funny isn

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Looks like Flint got angry.
I've never heard of crimes going up when there been less guns around.
If you want me to belive that then please show me some statistic. I really don't belive everything you say when you're in some kind of rage or whatever that was.

BW, yes it's like Freelancer says. WE pay for it ourselves. We get better quality in schools by doing it, better hospitals and better life when we grow old. (comparing with your country mostly, most others got a similar system to ours).
