Thales, I agree with you completely. To do away with America's propensity to own and carry handguns a Constitutional Ammendment would have to be passed by the people (not Congress as Insane Asylum or whatever his name is says), The Supreme Court do a total flip-flop on the interpretation of...

ROFL! Faultless? I think that all of the sentence fragments you so carefully cobbled together in your rant would belie that, along with "idoits" along with "our" instead of "or". Oh, and we should not overlook your Palin-like coining of words, such as "libtard" when you can't think of a real...

And by the way, the site you cite does not support you statement. The best it does, and this over and over, is to state that "the evidence strongly suggests that an increase in concealed weapons permits does not increase violent crime". That is a far cry from a definitive statement and an even...

Not only is he a violent idiot, he has poor grammar and spelling skills as well.

I have been unable to find a single study that supports an increase in "other types of crimes" when handguns are tightly controlled. Indeed, experience shows otherwise. If what you aver were true, Canada would be a hotbed of criminal violence but the statistics show a much lower rate of...

Limiting access to handguns through whatever method will not eliminate murders and suicides, that is a given. Yes, there will always be illegal firearms to be found. Yes, you can kill someone without using a firearm. But the incidence of deaths by crimes "of the moment" - also known as crimes...

Not a direct answer to your question but, according to the latest statistics I can find (1996), over 600.000 guns were stolen from households in a year. My bet is that a vast majority ended up on the black market since it is really difficult to sell a handgun at a pawnshop without it being...

Really? The ants in my garden sometimes bite me. That's not very worshipful. I wonder what their bible is like? Are we all one God to them or are we a pantheon? So many little ant spirituality questions I'd like to ask!

Walmarts are now fairly common throughout the US, much to the chagrin of many folks who believe they destroy community culture and ship US money to China in the form of buying low-priced goods. In most states you can go into a sporting goods department or store and walk out the same day with a...

Just a comment. Walmart is not really a "supermarket". Walmart is a "mega-store" that has many departments, groceries just being one of them in SOME stores. Walmart has sporting goods and there you can find shotguns and ammo, but not handguns (that I have seen). Generally to buy a handgun...

So Clearance and John live on either side of the river from each other and they fight constantly. Clearance is always throwing rocks or wood or just anything he can lift and throw over the river to hit John with. These two hav been bickering for years. DOT comes along and puts up a sign that...

au contraire! Had it been a woman it would have been MONTHS, if ever. But had it been a man, then the apology would have been immediately accepted (and the database still would not be working). That's the great thing about computers. They are neither.

I have rarely found an "not nice" person when I travel, with the exception of "kids" 21 years old or less. That includes customs people. I generally just look at customs and airport security as yet another task to get through while traveling but I have found that, if I am in a good mood, I can...

I very much doubt it. Other weapons are much harder to kill with in a moment of rage or passion, or accident. Some of them take a LOT of work to kill someone with. Not like pointing the thing and pulling the trigger.

If the manufacture, sale and possession of a handgun were illegal and if there was an automatic minimum sentence of 25 years to life for a crime committed while in possession of a firearm, presumably there would be fewer handguns on the black market and they would be muich more expensive to...

Whose turn was it to tease the_net? Did I miss mine?

Not mocking Col at all. Just mocking the general European attitude about Americans, whom they mock unmercifully. Mock is as mock does. Anyone for some mock-turtle soup?

If you fly into London you can pick up your sword in the Duty Free shop as you leave the airport. If you keep it in good condition by wiping all of the blood off it after each use, you can return it and get a 75% refund.

Yes, you can find them in the "fresh meat" section, next to the IEDs and mustard gas. That's why the #1 accessory for men's three piece suits in the US is body armor. I understand that you can now get bullet proof boxer shorts as well. Sorry about your friend.

Re: Sarah Palin. The poor woman has a bad case of Foot in Mouth Disease. I am sure she is a lovely mother and a fine person to talk to but just not Presidential material. Her "latest" statement in which she thought she was coining yet another of her cute new words or phrases certainly showed...
