He has never made that a secret really. More accurately one could say that Eric tends to believe that laws should be changed to make law-abiding citizens unlawful after which time it would be okay for the state to commit gun violence against them. That isn't an unusual desire for many folks. It makes it easier for them to pretend that they have a clear conscience.Originally Posted by Aramea
I am pretty matter-of-fact, but one could well up thinking about a woman alone in her room with a paring knife and a packet of chili powder.
My story was based on a University study and written by the AP, an organization that is often hostile to conservatives. Your "study" was compiled by Mother Jones, a neo marxist publication with an agenda to rid our society of guns....who is more credible here?
Aggravated assaults have decreased since 2002 by 22%....sorry your more assaults, less deaths meme is incorrect..

Nobody said they shouldnt be addressed. But phony, non effective gun bans wont make a difference...
No it isn't. The stat I quoted was how many assaults from guns result in hospitalization. More people died in the past from these than today.
Like I said, I'll take my left wing mag over your right wing ones. Both mags can quote things. Stats are stats.
I don't think that's how Obama's or Feinstein's proposals would work. I specifically stated I am not in favor of gun violence to enforce laws against gun violence. How many times do I have to say it before you get it, mr. copperfield?
I'm a gun owner who supports gun control and this is just a stupid post. Shit like this just makes the gun nuts even more hysterical because they think it's "proof" that the government wants to take away their guns.
To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

Without them the problem will not be addressed. They are not phony, and they are effective. I posted a report about the effectiveness of the 1994-2004 ban already. Nobody needs an assault rifle to defend their home, kill a jackrabbit or hunt deer.
Yup. I grew up in a rural area. farmers need guns to deal with foxes, coyotes, and other predatory vermin.
As the vice president said, a shotgun is a much better defensive weapon than an AR-15.

As many times as it takes for you to stop contradicting your other statements I suppose.
Short term vs. long term; laws vs ideals.
I agree. That's why everyone should have one of these.
I use a shotgun for duck and goose hunting and I wouldn't trust myself with THAT thing, LOL! I'd probably accidentally kill somebody!I agree. That's why everyone should have one of these.

That's funny, mine has never killed anyone.
Actually I've done a lot of skeet shooting with it. Great control and accuracy.
I couldn't help but notice that you didn't post this article. Why not?
Or this one. (no comment from Cuomo yet)
Or this one.
Or this one.
Or this, this (more than 10 rounds fired, fortunately for the kids in the house he didn't live in NY), this, this, this, this, this, this (an old lady with a .44 is a woman after my own heart), this, this, this, this... I'll be honest, there are thousands of these.
We have atleast three human species, the good ones, the bad ones and the liberals who aren't able to identify or figure out the differences between the two of them.
Just in case we're right about the future. I'd own one to defend a neighborhood that you currently don't live in. As far as home defense, I'd prefer to use a shotgun or a pistol.
I have always used Eric the Obtuse but Eric the Oblivious would also work since his contact with the universe the rest of us live in is sporadic at best.

Trusting a cop is a dicey proposition these days and can get you killed, here is a sampling of their activities. I know from personal experience that cops cover up for each other and rarely get prosecuted much less convicted. Come to think of it, I have been on a jury several times and watched them lie and then had dumb-shit jurors make excuses for it. It is simply amazing how much a badge and funny costume increases your credibility in the face of contradictory physical evidence with some people. I expect Eric the Obtuse would be one of them.

Ranchers find them really handy for dealing with coyotes and other dogs that are causing them problems, but you almost certainly have never lived where ranching was going on and are completely clueless, as usual. Come to think of the such rifles are useful in implementing the 3S (shoot, shovel and shut up) strategy when a nominally endangered species would shut down their operations.

Excellent choice! I know a person who has one of these and he is very happy with it.I agree. That's why everyone should have one of these.

It is not much different than any other auto-loading shotgun in usage except for the detachable magazine. It is based on the AK-47 which is legendary for its reliability, not a bad thing for self-defense. Indeed, that is the main reason for owning one since in terms of firepower it is the same as any other shotgun.

Those are illegal where I live on both barrel length and action. Personally I could never see hunting with one, inpart because of the barrel length and in part because to me the pump is just part of the motion at this point, without it I might forget to fire. Skeet would be fun, though.
I say let the Homelanders address this in the upcoming 1T - or even the New Idealists in the next 2T.
Going after the Second Amendment now risks another Civil War anomaly - to say nothing of another Civil War itself.
But maybe if the putative Robin Hoods stopped trying to take from law-abiding citizens and give to criminals, take from men and give to women, take from believers and give to anti-believers, take from citizens and give to "undocumented" immigrants, and take from heterosexuals and give to homosexuals, they might have a lot more success in taking from the rich and giving to everyone else.
Don't blame me - I'm a Baby Buster!
