    Gun laws do they work

    Can you believe that if all guns are removed from gun owners, there will be more gun related deaths in America? Why? You cannot remove guns from the bad people. They do not obey the law. Guns will be available in the black market. When it comes to one's life, statistics does not matter. You do...

    Gun laws do they work

    The average life expectancy is around 79 years in America. People still buy life insurance (in case they die early). Same with gun possession. There may not be a real threat, but be prepared. If an intruder is shot inside a house, usually police will not charge the home owner. The law may be...

    Gun laws do they work

    There are no statistics showing how many crimes are not committed because the criminal thought the victim may have a gun. Very rarely I hear from anyone whether they own a gun or not. In the suburbs, a high percentage of homeowners have guns (news reports). The vast majority are law abiding...

    Gun laws do they work

    You do not have to use or show a gun for self protection. If a criminal thinks a potential victim is armed, the criminal will move on to an easy victim. I have never seen a sign board in front of a house saying "This house has no guns." Every house owner wants a potential intruder to think that...

    Gun laws do they work

    Well, the NRA did not force the woman to buy semi-automatic guns. She did it on her own. The mother took up a hobby of gun collection and target shooting. The son was Psycho II. There are several issues here: 1) Easy access to semi-automatic guns. 2)gun safety at home. 3) children's maturity...

    Gun laws do they work

    Let us put the blame where it belongs. The mother was a wealthy woman (thru divorce settlement). She took up a hobby of gun collection and target shooting. She collected six guns including semi-automatic rifles. She failed to secure them in her house. Her son (with mental problems) was able to...

    Shootings in US schools

    Changing the gun culture is not easy in America. There are already 200 million guns in America. The problem is guns in the hands of mentally unstable people (wackos). There are more gun shops than McDonald's in America. Usually, in two weeks this discussion will disappear. Nothing will happen.

    Gun laws do they work

    Guns and sick (mentally) people are not a good mix. The mother had become a party to this crime for not seeing the potential danger her gun collection hobby would lead to. I cannot believe she needed five guns (including high powered rifles) to protect her. Her carelessness led to this carnage...

    Gun laws do they work

    Whatever new laws are enacted, please enforce them. One problem is the selective enforcement of laws in the United States. The civil liberties groups want to protect the criminal. They twist things around to make the killer the victim. They are also working hard to abolish death penalty (or any...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    Finding Her Place On her way back from the movie intermission, a blonde asked a man at the end of the row, “Pardon me, but did I step on your foot a few minutes ago?” Man hoping for an apology said, “Indeed you did.” Blonde nodded, and said, “Oh good. Then this is my row.”

    Here's Xmas again.

    I plan to see an old movie called "A Christmas Carol" again. There is a character called "Scrooge" who hated Christmas. Then he saw others with much less income are having a good time. Finally, Scrooge also joined the fun and gave gifts to his employees and their families. Scrooge found real joy...

    Thanksgiving Break Up A man in Florida, in his 80s, calls his son in New York one November day. The father says to the son, “I hate to tell you, but we’ve got some troubles here in the house. Your mother and I can’t stand each other anymore, and we’re getting a divorce. I’ve had it! I want to...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    An Asian was coming to America. His relatives received him at the airport and then they went to a hamburger joint to eat. A hot dog was ordered for the new immigrant. He had never heard of a thing called hot dog. When the hot dog was served, he looked at it and said,"Sorry, I cannot eat this. I...

    Gun laws do they work

    Any ban on assault weapons will be interpreted as the beginning of ban on all guns. I believe Bill Clinton banned assault weapons (do not remember all the details), but George W. Bush let the ban expire. I can agree with assault weapons ban, but not sure it will reduce gun violence that much...

    Gun laws do they work

    As an immigrant to USA, let me write my thoughts on this subject. USA has a gun culture starting with the settlers from Europe. USA became independent through a revolutionary war. India was a colony for centuries because Indians did not have guns; the British had guns. Great Britain was a...

    Gun laws do they work

    I have many friends who always want gun control in USA. I can see they have a point. They think everyone will give up their guns. They fail to understand that the criminals will not give up their guns. I have requested many gun control advocates to put sign in front of their homes saying "This...

    Is the USA doing a good job as self appointed world police?

    When it comes to their own money, most people are capitalists. Margaret Thatcher said:"The problem with socialism is that you eventually they run out of other people's money."

    Hoya! A politician gives a stump speech in an Indian reservation, trying to garner the Native American ballot. "If elected, I promise better education for Native Americans," he says. The crowd goes wild, calling out "Hoya! Hoya!" Guy doesn't know what the word means, but he figures, hey, they...
