The only places that looked dodgy are ironically the states and US Cities that have the most restrictions on gun ownership (Newark, Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC, New York). So figure that one out......

Remember Mark, you are speaking to people who seem to be of the mind that if they do not want one, neither should anyone else and others especially- should not be allowed one- as it makes the deniers paranoid.

Of course self-centered people only think of them-selves.

Yeah, I'm sure if you went to the victims of Derrick Bird they would advocate more open gun laws :rolleyes:

Wrong country.
----------------------------------------------
Here is one for you: http://www.machinegunshoot.com/machine_gun_shoot.html------ they actually allow women and children in, plus they have an open flea market where if you have the money and time to fill out the paper work, you can actually buy a machine gun and other destructive devices.

This is the night shoot, marvelous---http://www.knobcreekshoot.com/images...TimeLapses.jpg

I would rather the gun laws didn't get to the point where I felt that I would need to carry a concealed weapon around to use. Because if I did find myself in such a situation where I might need to use it I'm not sure I'd want to live with the knowledge that I may have killed someone afterwards.

I won't hesitate to defend myself - I just would not want a gun-on-gun situation as the consequences are so heightened.

Let them fight with their fists.

Perhaps because we have no need for civilians to be armed. I cannot think of a single situation in which I would have considered it necessary or beneficial.

I have no fear of firearms at all, because the likelihood of encountering one in the possession of someone who may do you some damage with it is tiny.

Ah, the old 'narcissistic arrogance' line. Nice to see that one re-appearing again after such a long absence. I am waiting for 'a legend in your own mind' to come up next. Its appearances have been sorely missed.

I have in front of me a document in which an expert on human factors in aircraft accidents states that those of what he describes as an 'aggressive personality type', and I quote, 'Will frequently attack others’ inputs as “stupid”.' Interesting, I thought.

I must say I find it quite... er, 'interesting' whenever markabilly posts on a subject that has even a little to do with education.

Speaking of 'Will frequently attack others’ inputs as “stupid”.' , we now get five examples in a row

Oh how quickly you conveniently forget...I can only think of atleast 5,000,000 to 70,000,000

Same here. Indeed, here that likelihood is even smaller....because given your laws, only the really nasty types have guns, unless you want to include your miltary and police

Now, I could be trolled into responding with a personal attack here, such as good to see you are trying to do a little self diagnosis but I promsed Mark I would be a good boy and be reeeeeeaaaallll sweeeeeet, so I will not say the obvious.

well, why do't you go ahead and man up, and just say stupid, instead of 'interesting"?

Indeed, I was referencing land size, but here there is old Texas, about 30% in pop. size, but has not even scored its first million in the last 100 years, but then there is Germany, racing far ahead with 50 or 60 million dead it can easily claim responsibility for within its terroritorial borders (expanded as they were by invasions into other countries).

Why, on a percentage basis, Texas ought to be able to point to and take credit for atleast 15 million dead civilains, killed for the glory of whatever within its borders

And a governor who has yet to announce that he wants to do any wholessale, all into one, destruction of cultural differences from paranoia over the differences

Yes sir, poor ole Texas is really dragging far behind, stuck in the back woods and swampy back waters.... :rolleyes:

But man oh man, let us worry about that 22 yo drunk with a gun some 3,00 plus miles from where you live.

Amen, bro, and pass the kool aid.
