    Default Another shooting in the ATL

    Mother leaves home invader crying in driveway with five shots to the face - General Law Enforcement Topics on The Thin Blue Line


    Why do we not need clip bans? because women cant drive..... what makes you think they can shoot straight in a hostile life threatening situation. woman empties her revolver without killing intruder, threatens him with empty gun to lay down and wait for police.

    Yep, you can chose whatever weapon you want. I'm sure she was in the gun store on monday buying something better. You can throw fruit loops at your attacker if you want to.... me personally, i carry a gun with a small 8 round clip. Everyone is entitled to deciding their own means of protection.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say after the Aurora shooting that it would have been good if more random civilians had guns in that smokey theatre? That position seems to contradict this one.

    Not true. You can not choose a full automatic weapon, rocket launcher, tank, etc.

    PS. There are certainly anecdotes that support allowing looser gun laws just as there are anecdotes that support stricter gun laws (e.g. accidental shootings). That is why anecdotes are not an effective way to decide what our policies should be.

    Surprised this hadn't been posted yet. You should see this indigent perp's medical bills. Most of the bullets passed through his face and neck. When he peeked his head in the door she shot. She shot at his head at that moment. IMO, she's a hero - she defended her children, person, and home. It's a shame she didn't have one more for a close up to his head as she left. Now we - the taxpayers - have to pay for this criminal.
    It's not cutting you off, if I'm going faster. - me

    1) its a magazine, not a clip
    2) revolvers don't use magazine, hence the name REVOLVER...
    About to approach beast mode

    No law or legislation can override personal responsibility. Because you can do something, doesnt always mean you should. Yes, a skilled gun owner might could have limited the damage done by the theater shooter..... but liberals translate that as a grandmother pulling a revolver out of her purse and firing aimlessly into the darkness. If you were a soccer mom in that theater, no... even though legally you could, you shouldnt have engaged the shooter..... if you were an ex marine sitting in row 7 with a 1911 on your side.... yea, you might could have helped.

    I can apply for a class 3 and own a machine gun if i want....... i'm not sure that i CANT own a rocker launcher or tank.... in my opinion, with proper qualification, i should be able to have a tank. Our own government sells weapons by the ton to conflict nations... who are they to stand on moral ground and tell me what i cant own?

    Does the terminology really matter?

    He was obviously speaking to the capacity of a revolver....... pretty easy to understand what was being said....... no need for gun grammar policing.

    Most likely not. My cousin's boss owned two russian subs a few years back but they were not battle ready. As or rocket launchers, I am not positive but I think you can purchase M203's with a class 3 and they all have their own serial numbers and you have to return whatever is left over to the ATF. Not 100% on this.

    My bad for making an ignorant statement but the real point still stands. There are some weapons you can not legally own and thus you can not literally arm yourself with anything you want. Let's say nukes for example. Am I wrong about that?

    I totally agree an armed trained marine could have helped in that situtation but you also have to consider that the soccer mom, grandma, or any other qualified person could have engaged the shooter and made the situation worse. The same laws that allow one person to help could allow another to cause more harm. There are valid arguments on both sides.

    The government's moral ground does not come from Libya or anywhere else but the will of the people. They represent their constituents and if they have views that the people disagree with, the people are free to elect someone else. The thing is, it's not just politicians who want tighter gun control laws, it is a significant number of the public too.

    I looked into a class 3 very briefly. I figured out that as long as you dont plan on trafficking those arms, you dont need it.


    As soon as I hit the lottery there are 3 guns I plan on buying. All are currently available on gunbroker.com and they come at a combined price tag of just under 100K.

    As long as you dont cross state lines with them you are good. If you plan on moving out of state, it could be problems. Thats true to a slightly lesser extent with a Class III though.

    I cross state lines on a daily basis right now. The only places i would currently use a class 3 weapon i would have to cross state lines to get to.

    If i was walking out of lowes and a guy in a clan outfit was standing in the parking lot yelling shit like that...... id probably join the crowd of people that would have already assembled telling him to shut the fuck up and go home.

    That's one thing that pisses me off about the black community...... when white people do stupid shit..... its usually other white people standing up against it.
    When black people do stupid shit.... not only do they not stand up against it... anyone else who does is called a racist.

    Nice sweeping generalization. I doubt you spend much time with anyone in the black community because if you did, you would realize a significant number of them hate it when they see black people doing stupid shit just like anyone does when someone does something stupid that reflects poorly on them. You really think the black community wishes there were more hoodrats on TV getting tased by security guards, getting in fights on buses, etc?
