    A difference in opinion and solutions doesn't mean superior intellect. You are attaching that to it. You have made numerous comments in the past that its too 'blue collar' here and basically infer that those who aren't as successful as yourself couldn't or shouldn't have good ideas and contributions. Thats what the video was for, to show you how silly that is.
    Then why bother jumping in to this. I made the comment to newnick who did call me and anyone else who doesn't agree with him an idiot.
    And the fact is, almost everytime I log in here it's the same thing. Self proclaimed geniuses that have done nothing but talk shit on a BBS. Not terribly impressive.

        I don't know. Its really a waste of time for everyone involved.

        I don't agree that those who want changes have to be involved in the process in order to be able to have such an opinion. You mock them with your constant posting of paying for plane tickets to collect guns. Yet you take issue with newnick doing the exact same thing?
        you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

            No, wrong, you do know what is considered a militia now and when the constitution was drafted are two different things right? The Militia is the people


            A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms." (Richard Henry Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Farmer (1788) at 169)

            What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." (Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment [ I Annals of Congress at 750 {August 17, 1789}])

            "Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people" (Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788)
            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
            think about that

                    that's the Militia part - the United States was born of revolution against tyranny, it was a brand new country held together by a piece of paper, in theory an amazing idea, but no guarantee it would work - they wanted to make sure the citizens could fight back against a government that went rogue.

                            Of course I will mock them. Too many people that don't live or pay taxes in the US have grand opinions about what and how we need to do things. They have no idea what they are talking about and maybe was here one time for a vacation. And always they are disrespectful about it because they are safely tucked away behind a keyboard.

                            Here is the difference. In the decade that I have been posting here, I have never said anything to anyone that I wouldn't say to their face.

It?s not implausible to think, afforded the time to respond by Lanza?s delay at the front door, an armed officer could have put him down before he began killing in earnest.

                                    Just like your article says, having an armed guard present isn't a guarantee of anything. Your talking about a huge amount of territory and a lot of people to protect - three armed guards isn't going to be enough. They had armed guards at Columbine and it didn't stop them.

                                    There is no one solution. I'm not against armed guards at school. But it's a measure to stop the crime as it's happening instead of trying to prevent the crime in the first place. We need to be preventive - We need to help those are mentally ill and help those who are borderline mentally ill, and we need to prevent firearms from getting into their hands.

                                        Your wrong. We might have had an army, but in the event of attack it would take days or weeks before the proper people in the government knew about it and even longer for them to get word to the Army to do something about it.

                                        The people would be expected to protect and defend themselves for weeks until the US military was able to respond. The citizens were expected to "repel invasions".

We have a government with no real leadership. ( 528 million dollars spent on the Fisker electric cars which ended up employing 500 finnish workers for a car no one can afford while the Fiat company without stimulus money will release the 500e late next year that will go a reported 100 miles on one charge )people are still losing their homes ( 1 in every 728 homes went into foreclosure this year)

                                            What I'm trying to get to is the world is fucked up, losing freedoms because someone wasn't responsible or went on a killing spree is not the answer. They don't represent the responsible gun owners in the US. There are a lot of them. This forum is heavy leaning liberal and that's ok. But for all the things they want to change about the US, they don't realize how good things are right now.

                                                    But we shouldn't be talking about stopping a killer after he has started shooting. We need to prevent the shooter from ever getting a firearm.

                                                    If there was a law in place that prevented this woman from having an assault rifle and multiple handguns in the first place - a simple law saying it is illegal to have firearms in a household where someone who has a diminished mental ability lives - would have prevented him from gaining access to firearms that day.

                                                    It's simple:
                                                    - Better healthcare for the mentally ill
                                                    - Better security at schools
                                                    - Restrictions on firearms aimed at preventing the mentally ill from getting hand guns and banning assault rifles.

                                                    It blows my fucking mind that his mother knew her child had problems, knew her child was a loner, yet saw nothing wrong with training him how to use an assault rifle or letting him lock himself up in the basement so he could play Call Of Duty all day long.

                                                    A simple law preventing his mother from having access to fire arms after the school assigned a head shrink to her kid could have prevented this.

                                                        The people would be expected to protect and defend themselves for weeks until the US military was able to respond. The citizens were expected to "repel invasions".
                                                        my reply was to Tony saying we didn't have a standing army, we had a Army, Navy and Marine Corp, you should know that!

                                                        Yes, Militia was part of the defense of the country, but saying it took weeks till the government knew about troop movements? They had dispatch riders, you might have heard of a silver smith that was one, Paul Revere?

                                                        And yes Richard, we have discussed this before, In hate that we blew millions of tax payer dollars on a danish electric car that an average person can never afford and a Italian company can without any help and sell it for around $16k. The people that spent the stimulus wasted it!
                                                        Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                        think about that

                                                                Honestly, is it sinking in yet?

Too many people that don't live or pay taxes in the US have grand opinions about what and how we need to do things. They have no idea what they are talking about and maybe was here one time for a vacation. And always they are disrespectful about it because they are safely tucked away behind a keyboard.

                                                                        Here is the difference. In the decade that I have been posting here, I have never said anything to anyone that I wouldn't say to their face.
                                                                        american's tend to have a habit of thinking they know whats best for the rest of the world but when the rest of the world tries to say anything to them about whats going on in their country, its all bullshit that no one but americans could possibly understand. do you not see the hypocrisy in that? regardless, i try to be as respectful as possible but people like Jesus H Christ are hard to tolerate.

The money comes from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan program. All the details are available in the press releases below the fold.

                                                                                                Here we have people from all over the planet telling us what is best for Americans. And most of those people have never been to America. Most of them are kids on top of that. Kids who have a lot of growing up to do.

                                                                                                I agree, you are not one of the typical smart mouth kids that pop in with a quick insult then don't come back to the conversation. Go back and read this thread from the beginning. You will see the people I am talking about.

You a Canadian commenting on gun control to an American, in an American forum, with an opinion that couldn't change fuck all because you're not American.

                                                                                                        Honestly, is it sinking in yet?

See the stupidity when you can't recognize the vast majority of politics, finance, and the core traffic market discussed? American. BUT that's not enough for you as the actual admin of this forum is American, explained this forum is American to "you" in a thread, owned by an American Company ie.,AVN. Remember?

                                                                                                                Anyway let daddy Jesus in "your" American gun control thread explain the little you know about true American culture. You see, what really killed those kids in the school was not the shooter, the homosexual life killed those kids. You read this right, men who like to take a huge cocks up the ass killed those kids. That's a fact.

The money comes from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan program. All the details are available in the press releases below the fold.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

Rather then medicating the symptoms why don't we "try" to cure the problems. Or fuck it lets bicker amongst outselves and solve nothing?

Most Americans have never left America and the ones I know really don't care what happens elsewhere.

And most of those people have never been to America. Most of them are kids on top of that. Kids who have a lot of growing up to do.

                                                                                                                                I agree, you are not one of the typical smart mouth kids that pop in with a quick insult then don't come back to the conversation. Go back and read this thread from the beginning. You will see the people I am talking about.

They know what works in their country and we are so different? The problem is people like Minte live in fear of poor/black people. They don't want to admit but that is why they have guns. Their biggest fear is to lose these guns and have these people lose in their neighborhoods. It is sad but true.

To be honest, I though you'd be the last to nab that troll bait. This tragedy and many others could've simply of been averted if congress repealed the private mental health medical records. If you were American you'd know that if we have a physical fight with our spouse, we'll lose the right to ever own a firearm for life with a public police record verifying this. BUT if you're insane and like to run down the street smeared in your own shit, feel free to go buy a gun as this can't be verified as it's illegal for a doctor or mental health facility to disclose this.

                                                                                                                                            So what was the origin of this or why is it illegal for medical records to be openly available? In the 80's the AID's epidemic scared healthcare insurance companies because of the high healthcare costs they soon dropped coverage for men with the slightest of AIDS symptoms. Thousands of gay men and later hemophiliacs with full-blown HIV died horrible deaths because they couldn't get healthcare. A liberal congress seeing this passed a law that medical records couldn't be available to the public ie., insurance company inquiries.

                                                                                                                                            You see if you were American you'd know never to take anything literally in our country. Those kids died because 5 of the last school shooters all had medical mental conditions, but a special interest liberal law for the minority few prevented gun stores from having access to health records of the people with mental illness. ZERO Liberals will stepup and own that, and now these same liberals want to pass more laws, yet again, the minority interest to ban guns.

                                                                                                                                            So an outsider not knowing this might look in and say, those fucking gun owners are crazy. I would, but what you obviously don't know, we are tired of being victims of minority interests.

Ever get out to LA, you have to let me know. Xbiz Awards I'm going to following around a 80's porn star with a video camera shooting a documentary for her.

If nothing else it's an exercise in using Google fast, helps with SEO and informs me more about whats going on, it's really a positive thing.

                                                                                                                                                            On the same subject, probably 8 years ago, even posted a picture of it. My stepfather was a machinist and had a client that bought an old 1900 series Gattling gun, a real one. Some parts were missing, he asked me and my brother in law to see if we could find a picture of one to go off of. My brother in law found a picture of one that was close, a 1902 model, I found the blue prints for the exact model. That was by far the pure funnest gun I have ever shot. Probably worth about $10k back then, it was a work of mechanical perfection. Just loaded the magazine and started turning the crank. but don't worry, I don't think anyone would be walking around with one.

                                                                                                                                                            I think what bothers me most about this call to get rid of assault weapons is how very little people know about the guns they want to get rid of. When I was in my 20's, I would get the model rockets from the hobby store, fill the nose with blue tip match heads and a little mixture of some chemicals I know about. Mount that in a 6 inch PVC tube with the igniter on the side and I had a bazooka. Same thing with a tennis ball, fill with match heads and black powder, throw it, boom. I can't believe I still have all my fingers after some of the shit I did. Take a can and fill it with diesel, gelatin and gasoline, pour into a balloon using a funnel, have a burn pile in the back yard when it was raining with 8 foot flames. After 9/11, stopped doing most of that. Guns are just a tool to me, nothing more. I work with fireworks and knowing that kind of stuff, a person could be very dangerous.



                                                                                                                                                            from the 4th at newport beach, 300 mortars in 47 seconds for the finale, after they take away the guns, they will wont to taker away everything else that idiots shouldn't be around that's fun. i own a 3 wheel ATC that's faster than shit. They say they are dangerous, I've had it since 1982 and never wrecked it

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

I don't bring up Bush, stopped liking him when he went into Iraq. He didn't have a good reason for it. But when I question why Obama did something, somehow I like Bush? That makes no sense@!@!!
