Outward, but I "fixed" the pins. Mostly for child proofing, I have a 1 year old grandaughter. If someone was going to steal them if my house got broken into it probably wouldn't slow the thief down much except the fact he would have to make noise to get it open. The lock on the closet serves the same prurpase as a kiddie lock on the cupboard under the kitchen sink, safety.
My point was the woman in question shold have been resposibile enough to keep her guns out of the hands of someone in the houeshold that shouldn't have access to them. She was getting $200K plus a year in alimony so I think she could have bougt a decent safe, if for no other reason than to protect her son from himself.

So then divert all NRA membership dough to LE salaries.

The idiotic argument of arming teachers, etc does more harm than good. Panicked cross fire will kill many. Then think from a responding officers POV...people holding guns. Who's the bad guy? Gun points towards me I am trained to take them out. Dead teachers.

Why does anyone besides the gun and ammo manufacturers trust the NRA to do anything other than exactly the wrong thing almost every time?

Like I said a week ago...the NRA will always tell you that the answer to any problem, any question, or any issue is to always have more guns, and make it easier to have them with you wherever you are.

Yup and everyone is a Daniel Boone crack shot. Funny thing is I've been carrying my crossbow since the 60's and I've never had a mass murderer to shoot at. But if he were to appear I'd hit the bastard in his right non-dilated pupil and then split that arrow with a second shot for good measure.

Full disclosure - I don't like the NRA, I believe they do not have the best interests of the US at heart. Today was the best they could come up with? Really? Videos, music, and video games? Last I checked, Canada, Australia, and the UK had access to the same videos, music, and video games. Look at the murder rates in those countries compared to ours and tell me that the NRA has any kind of a clue.

I already pointed that out, eddie, and not surprisingly it wasn't discussed much then, either.

The NRA has one interest in mind...the economic well-being of the gun and ammo industry.

As a life member of the NRA I was pretty disgusted with their (our?) recommendation.

Lately I have been very unhappy with all of the RWNJ rhetoric and this is just icing on the cake.


Fishy

You're clearly unhappy, ssf...something is obviously missing in your life.

I suggest you go buy two guns and call LaPierre in the morning.

Fish on...

Todd

Perhaps a spud gun to shoot at spoon fisherman!










Just saying I am not very happy with some of their recent actions.

Fishy

I have no idea, perhaps you could enlighten us.

You got kids, Todd?
You trust that cops can/will protect kids?

I am far from a cop hater.....but the reality is that they are a "reactive", as in "after the fact", group that will NOT be there when needed......not out of choice, but rather out of logistics. Meanwhile, down on the ranch, your kids are on their own and huddling in a corner awaiting their demise because no one has firearms handy enough to do any good.

Want to discuss boxknives? It's you pussy do-nothings that are as responsible for killing the people as the original perps. It doesn't take a cop's bullet to kill a killer. As for your own yellow-stained-panty group......huddle up.

Here's a question for all you dipstick "Save Me" types....In the Conn incident, how many lives were "saved" by the cops? How about the 911 incident.....how many lives again saved by the cops?

Cowardice is a wonderful thing......makes easy targets.

I'd be more careful of letting sh!t like this on the internet, old man, before someone gets fed up and kicks the fu.ck right out of you.

That statement is some low-down classless sh!t, you motherfucker.

What part of it appealed to you, Danny?

Slab, did someone piss in your Wheaties this morning? Chill, dude!

this is sheer insanity...

pretty much all stores around here are VOID of AR rifles, the price going is ridiculous as well.. i talked to a few places i frequent, both are out of stock, and as of closing yesterday, one place had 11 back ordered... he also said that he has seen ARs going for as high as 4 grand... Magpull mags, have gone from 10 bucks to 50 bucks, and 1000 rounds of .223 ammo which was around 250 3 weeks ago, is 400+ now...

and the stores are PACKED with people...

get it while you can guys....

"this is sheer insanity"

Correct. You idiots are doing a run on the bank. Same thing happened with Twinkies.

I'll sell some to you. $4k a pop.

im not buying any.. i sold my AR years ago, matter of fact, i sold it when that whole Beltway Sniper thing was going on, i didnt like the looks i was getting at the gun ranges, so i got rid of it and bought a Ruger M77 MKII .338 Win Mag... i love ARs and the likes, love shooting them, but im more of a bolt action guy these days...i would rather see whats coming, rather than wait for it till its in my face....

Here's the thing on this whole assault weapon ban. The proposal does not fit the statistics. Based on 2010 data from the FBI, out of 8,775 firearm related murders, 358 were directly linked to rifles. 358 as a percentage of 8,775 is 4.1%.

Please justify banning something that is responsible for 4.1% of all firearms murders, and 2.7% of all murders? Knives were respionsible for 14% of ALL murders, 12,996. Hands fists and feet were responsible for 745 murders, about 5.7% of all murders.

I doubt anyone's attempting to ban murder. It's mass murder. Who knows if it would have an impact or not.
