They are not I assure you. A billion dollar drug cartel certainly can get whatever they want. A drug addict looking to mug you or a teenager intent on shooting up the school cannot. Even a non-criminally connected rich guy like Paddock could not get illegal guns. A teenager in High School does not have black market underworld connections. "Klebold and Harris bought the TEC-DC9 from a pizza shop employee named Mark Manes, who knew they were too young to purchase the assault pistol, but nevertheless sold it to them for $500."link But then again it was a legal gun. Even toddlers are racking off rounds with those. And nice try with this IBD notice it says Illegally obtained Here is the link:https://www.statista.com/statistics/476461/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-legality-of-shooters-weapons/ "82 of the mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and February 2020 involved weapons which were obtained legally; a clear majority. Only 16 incidents involved guns that were obtained illegally. Legally owned firearms in the U.S. Within the United States, one must be at least 18 years old in order to purchase shotguns, rifles, and ammunition, and at least 21 years old to purchase all other firearms. Some people may be restricted from owning firearms, such as individuals who have been dishonorably discharged from the military or tourists. Guns must be sold through licensed dealers, and purchasers must undergo a background check. However, the much-discussed "gun show loophole" allows people to purchase firearms from a flea market, gun show, online, or from a personal collector without a background check." ! But the guns were legal! NO machine guns which would obviously be THE weapon of choice for ANY mass shooting. Why? Because they are illegal. So take this 2017 incident: " a 3-year-old boy found his father's loaded gun in the kitchen and fatally shot himself in the head with it. " link Now the toddler is not old enough to poses firearms making that an illegal possession of a firearm. Needless to say the 3 year old did not have or need any underworld connections to "illegally" obtain a "legal" gun. IBdaMann wrote:...Gun cravens..As in having a fear of guns? You don't?

Pretty much an analogous scenario to General David Koresh's little war. Shootouts are inherently unsafe. It's generally a much better idea to not engage in them. Guns are effective tools for killing other people they are not defensive. A bullet proof vest is defensive. Edited on 08-05-2020 11:00 |

In the interest of increased safety for you and your loved ones, we will be asking you to permanently surrender all service weapons as they will no longer be allowed. Studies have shown it is much safer to run away or just hide from violence, rather than confront a violent situation before or during it's escalation. Good luck and Godspeed.

By professionals I of course mean Police officers, who should be the ones using guns to deal with anyone in a non military setting and military personnel should be the only ones using guns in a military setting. I have never even hinted at anything else. Oh and in Waco the only ones with guns should have been the police as well. It's hard enough to use deadly force appropriately for highly trained officers with decades of experience. We can do without the buckaroos making that call in the backyards of america. Learn to call 911 and get better sense about how not to use a gun. Another great thing about the pros is they have options to go along with their training and experience: SWAT, Big guns, little guns, tasers, pepper spray, battons, dogs, hand to hand fighting skill and hand cuffs. I'd like the fat dude with his Smith and Wesson fantasies to kindly stay in his house, hiding, while the police respond to the noises out in his shed. Because I'm sure he loves the Dirty Harry film series, talks about how he'd blow someone away if they tried to steal his lawn mower, but doesn't even own anything other than a gun to deal with a criminal, a gun he kinda knows how to use. I consider the 12 minute response time of officers in Vegas to be maybe not excellent but certainly good. There is no indication from anyone, certainly not on this board, that more liberal gun laws would have helped in anyway in Vegas. We know that the shooter had exactly as much killing power as we allowed him to have legally. So now you know. If you ever have any other questions about my point of view simply ask.

tmiddles wrote: By professionals I of course mean Police officers, who should be the ones using guns to deal with anyone in a non military setting and military personnel should be the only ones using guns in a military setting. Exactly. Your position is, and always has been, that all law abiding citizens MUST be rendered completely defenseless. This is exactly what the 2nd Amendment was intended to prevent. This is exactly what all Marxist and tyrannical governments do just before the government commences with the arbitrary imprisonment of political opponents and the mass executions ordered out of irrational paranoia. I think we understand your intent. Oh, can I assume that your position is based on a strong understanding that the police cannot be everywhere, that the police have no extrasensory perception to know when and where crimes are about to be committed and that the police have no power to magically teleport to wherever they need to be, yes? You actively advocate for maximum damage and death for all violent crimes. You actively advocate for total authoritarian government control. You advocate for the abolition of individual freedoms. I think we understand your intent. tmiddles wrote: Oh and in Waco the only ones with guns should have been the police as well. The 2nd Amendment says otherwise. The FBI and the ATF should not have gone apeshit tyrannical. They did not need to assault the compound. It is not the government's role to create criminals, to create shootout situations when none need occur, to apply force just because it gives government agents an adrenaline rush. tmiddles wrote: It's hard enough to use deadly force appropriately for highly trained officers with decades of experience. Immaterial, you would even confiscate the legal firearms of all law abiding citizens who are trained officers with many years of experience. You would confiscate the firearms of all law abiding hunters with many, many years of experience. You care nothing for people; you want them defenseless. Period. tmiddles wrote: We can do without the buckaroos making that call in the backyards of america. i.e. if a woman is about to be raped, she had better not somehow feel empowered to "make that call" to use a firearm to prevent the rape (or worse). Who the F-U-C-K does she think she is? You make a great point. tmiddles wrote: Learn to call 911 and get better sense about how not to use a gun. ... because we all know that violent criminals allot sufficient time for the "alert the cops" phase and ensure everyone has a cell phone in hand (with plenty of reception). This ensures sufficient police can teleport to the scene to engage at the commencement of the "violent crime" phase. Yes, we're tracking with you. tmiddles wrote: Another great thing about the pros is they have options to go along with their training and experience: In your Utopia, those with the most experience have retired and are now having their guns confiscated by you. Meanwhile the only experience the rookies are receiving when they show up at the scene after everything has already occurred is how to do the paperwork properly. In your world, the police exist only to document the violent crime inflicted upon We the Defenseless by violent criminals who operate with impunity. No, thanks. tmiddles wrote: I consider the 12 minute response time of officers in Vegas to be maybe not excellent but certainly good. I agree. They should be aspiring to response times of at least 20 minutes because, as it stands, they might actually arrive in time to protect someone and we can't very well have that, can we? tmiddles wrote: There is no indication from anyone, certainly not on this board, that more liberal gun laws would have helped in anyway in Vegas. There is no indication from anyone, certainly not on this board, that more liberal gun laws definitely would not have helped.

All the states in Australia have different firearm rules I personaly feel the rules in the state I live in are fair.You can only have a handgun if you shoot at a club.There is no field application and no self defence clause If you live somewhere you need a handgun for self defence move somewhere else.I catch a lot of public transport and some of the people that get on and off are visibly being affected by mind altering substances and I do not care who you are I do not wish these people to have access to handguns Americas ratio of firearm related homocide is way out of control compared to any where in the world.You can claim Americans are more warlike.What more than Germans and Croatians.No you do not have the right to be able to gun down other citizens I do not care about your alledged constitution. |

tmiddles, with the Branch Davidians that you are referring to was what happened in Waco, Texas, right? One issue with that is that their leader always appeared in court. Any time he was served with a summons to appear, he showed up in court. The FBI did things differently to give them a reason to engage that cult. The 1st amendment allows for Freedom of Religion. Ask Christians, the world is coming to an end. They (Branch Davidians) were waiting for the end. When that happens as many Christians believe it will, they were going to be prepared to survive it. Nothing they did ever showed any intent other than that. Also I think the FBI at Ruby Ridge, Idaho also created a situation where they shot through a door killing an innocent woman. That was largely condemned as the FBI being the aggressor. Yet when an FBI agent wanted to get a warrant to investigate a suspected terrorist, the higher ups at the FBI said no. If the warrant would have been asked for and received, then 9/11 would have been averted. The suspect had on his computer the plans for how 9/11 was going to happen. And with 9/11 came the Patriot Act. Instead of the FBI doing the job it's supposed to do, it was an ACT that gave the government the right to violate the rights that the Bill of Rights gave to Americans. BTW, if airplanes had locks on the doors to the cabin of an airplane, 9/11 would have been avoided. I mean does the general public really need an open door policy to the flight cabin of a 747? Kind of where people need to think once in a while. With me, I think like Ancient Rome, the US will fall and smaller countries will rise from it's ashes. It's like what was said about the War in Iraq, Americans are afraid. One of the highest standard of living in the world but Americans are afraid. What Americans should be doing is learning to understand why they have such a good life and what they need to do to keep it. But they don't. They just say "Well keep exploiting people and situations like we always have". That's where if Americans worked together to maintain the quality of life they enjoy, they would call it socialism and claim it's an attack on America's core values which are found in the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. http://www.sjtrek.com/trek/rules/ Edited on 10-05-2020 16:32 |

I presume that's what you meant. The answer is that the Constitution clearly specifies what powers the government has and that all others remain powers of the States or of We the People.

It was the February 28th shootout sparked by the ATF's botched investation that left Peter Gent dead outside the Branch Davidian compound. The ATF and the FBI left the body there to rot. On March 5th, David Koresh asked negotiators to remove the body and to bury it or something ... and the FBI denied that request ... but was willing to bring six gallons of milk for the children inside the compound, so that was nice of them.

The value in having the public armed, is as a deterrent. Criminals never know who has the guns, and who has the balls to use them. Every crime they chose to commit, could very well be their last. They general don't just pick a victim randomly, when ever they feel the need. If America were disarmed, with the southern border still wide open, would there be a lot more illegal immigrants crossing over, for the easy pickings? Maybe as part of the jobs recovery, Trump could put more people building onto the border wall... We are likely to see business closed for good. Many that do open will be at reduced staff. Lot of people still out of work. |

There is this thing out there called America. It's a beautiful place. You know, last time I "simply called the police" for a potentially deadly issue in my area, I was asked by the dispatch if I could "please continue to follow the vehicle in question. I just don't have a deputy anywhere near that location." I tailed the vehicle for 17 minutes before a deputy intercepted and made an arrest. So tmiddles, I'm thinking if we were defenseless, someone could easily kill me and my entire family AND clean up the crime scene, AND be a good distance down the road in 17 minutes. Your thoughts? |
