So? We have the Army and Marines, armed. We have collectors who just hang them on the wall and never use them. We have police departments with hundreds of them in lockup. I had a .22 for rabbit and squirrel, a 20 gauge for pheasant and trapshoots. A .22 pistol for target shooting and coyotes (easy to carry around the farm) and an old 30-30 for larger game. Not one ever shot a human. But I would, to protect myself.
No one ever shot a human ???What fantasy land do you live in ? JImB.
When you aren't too busy trying to prove a point that doesn't exist, please read that again. MY guns never shot anyone. Actually neither have 98% of the guns in this country, in spite of media hype.
WOW. Talk about having your head buried in the sand. Americans kill each other by the thousands every year. Go back to sleep. JImB.
Your answer is irritating, because @oldaunt is right, but so are you. You're totally misunderstanding what she said.
And I do believe the "misunderstanding" is deliberate.
It does seem like everyone is on edge and so close to the breaking point. One little disagreement becomes and altercation and someone gets hurt or killed. I personally believe it's the 5G towers, but people think it's just a conspiracy theory. It's starting to look like Purge every day.
OMG! When he told them to bring out the other gun, even the kids said no don't. LOL That's crazy. No I can't handle a gun because I can't even handle a sharp knife without somehow ending up cutting myself!
Yep I am one of those people who spent a couple of decades carrying a sidearm on duty as a Canadian Forces Military Police officer. Of course I am in favor of no one being armed, and in Canada we are almost at that point in 2023. Looking at the circus in your country, about guns, I am glad to be living here. Have I made my self clear ? JImB.
Oh, yes, Jimmy, you've made yourself perfectly clear in more than one respect. You've made it crystal clear that you don't like America, American laws, or Americans. You never cease to criticize America at every opportunity or to point out how much better you think Canada is.
Its pretty clear to all that you are a wonder in your own mind. You keep on and on about it...
Well, it makes him feel superior. Maybe the only way he can.
The case hasn’t yet been litigated, but my attorney told me yesterday that the reason the gun is not being released is because the guy I shot may decide to attempt to sue me.
I know you don't, Pinks.
Aw, Americans know this, @Pinky ... I have known such beautiful and caring Canadians my whole life both on and offline.
Somehow I quoted myself and made a duplicate post last night after trying to edit. Guess that means the statement is doubly true.
I think this explanation is almost good enough, although I'm not sure crazy is the right word. I would call it emotionally disturbed. And our leadership is being drawn more and more from a pool of the emotionally disturbed. Homicides would logically increase in proportion to the depth of hatred we have for each other. I don't think most Americans like this, but it works in favor of the politicians who fan the flames. Hatred and resentment are an emotional sickness that can be taught and therefore learned. So are bigotry and intolerance. It was worse way in the past, but it is now the worst that I have seen in my life time.
I was going to say the same thing. In some countries, homicides are up. In the US they're down by quite a lot.
Robbery through scams has become a widespread epidemic and law enforcement does very little about it.
