I love that show. lol.

And by the same token...when 2016 comes round and you are still alive because some weapon failed to jump up and shoot you,.....please try to become less paranoid. Oh, wait...it hasn't yet happened in the entire history of mankind but you guys are still paranoid. Yes, Yea, I know...just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. I never claimed guns are running around killing people..... He claimed Obama is going to take his guns. This is the same issue with government, too many old guys. Leads to lack of reading comprehension as a whole.

Lol. Im not sure they taught reading comprehension back when you were in school. But whatever floats your boat brother.

:[ I didn't parse phrases. I also didn't say one had more of a right to safety than the other.....in fact I said the exact opposite. You might be being genuine, just not accurate. I may have misspoke.

Thanks for noticing your obvious mistake. I would say their safety is equally important, and harder to ensure than yours or mine. They are more exposed to crime and danger, and so they have a higher threshold to meet in order to remain safe. Much like the Navy needs Aircraft carriers to defend itself. While the Navy's safety is no less important than yours, you don't really need an aircraft carrier to ensure yours. ETA: and a rigging ticket! So I know you didn't miss that mistake, you made it intentionally. That is not the way to encourage constructive discussion. We could have discussed it just as easily with a truthful thread title. Lets be genuine plz.

What happened to "Actions speak louder than words?" What actual actions has he taken that has reduced the availability of guns? I think some people are idiots and don't deserve to breathe. Doesn't mean I'm going to do anything about it. Even if I were the President, I wouldn't. Wendy P. He is not up for re-election Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead Maybe you wouldnt But he is when 2016 comes around, and obama is gone...and you still have your guns....please try to become less paranoid.

I might be reading this differently to you, however personal defense for an LEO =! home defense. As I read it, this is for guys on duty? If the DHS is buying 7000 of these purely for their officers to take home and use for defending their home then I stand corrected. Seems unlikely though. Especially when you read the rest of the criteria for the weapon. Their words Not mine Home defense "Your words Not theirs" Fixed that for you. THEIR WORDS: "Personal Defense Weapons Solicitation Solicitation Number: HSCEMS-12-R-00011 Agency: Department of Homeland Security Office: Immigration & Customs Enforcement Location: ICE-OAQ-MS" Thats the title. the only HOME, is HOMELAND SECURITY. You jump out of airplanes??

The only sarcasm was that Chuck Norris was the one doing the breaking in. That story is pretty terrible. As a former maintenance supervisor I know specifically the kind of responsibility having access to thousands of peoples homes brings. We did background checks for violence, wonder if they did as well. Not sure how having a gun would have helped her since he was probably able to sneak in completely undetected since he had the keys. Still horrible. I personally don't have any enemies, and I can't see a random person targeting me for murder or rape, but perhaps im just a sucker waiting to get shot. I live in a pretty bad area ironically enough, I hear gunshots several nights a week at least. A cop was murdered a block or so from here about 6 months ago, they never caught the shooter, plenty of gang/drug activity around. My house has also been burglarized once about 2 years ago. It was the only time I had taken the dogs with me overnight since I moved in 5 years ago They broke in and stole my digital camera and a big quart jar of pennies. Just about bankrupted me. So IMO that is the "plan" of a burglar who wants to rob a house they know has big ass dogs......wait until the big ass dogs are gone. As far as leaving your doors open for kids to wander in and rob you......don't do that without some sort of alert system?

I wasn't before this but I am now a member of the NRA and they did send out an email with a link to a video of Wayne LaPierre's very public speech, but it's no more then we see in the news. Also some other emails asking for donations to fight the upcoming proposed bill by Dianne Feinstein. It's nothing special or arm bending. The "no-blame falls on the NRA" email should read something like: Dear Valued NRA member, I am sure you have heard about the proposed legislation banning 30 round magazines and w.e else. Rest assured, fellow gun supporters control enough seats in both houses of congress, and our lobby is much too strong, to allow any legislation like this to be passed. Your guns are safe with us behind you. Thanks for the support!! -NRA So how close was that to the email they sent you?

the states might get this one because owning a firearm is a constitutional right but the school issue was not. I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

Hey we agreed on something!

It has been repeatedly challenged. That's great you think they are wrong. Get yourself appointed to the SCOTUS and change it

Yes. 100% This is a fact. This is why the AG has been in Washington (state) recently discussing with the governor how to move forward. ETA: This is also why big business hasn't entered the pot market. Once the federal conflicts are resolved you will see MARLBORO joints.

:[ The theory of nullification has been rejected repeatedly by federal courts. The courts have declared that under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, federal law is superior to state law, and that under Article III of the Constitution, the federal judiciary has the final power to interpret the Constitution. Therefore, according to the courts, the power to make final decisions about the constitutionality of federal laws lies with the federal courts, not the states, and the states do not have the power to nullify federal laws. Just ETA for a specific: The Supreme Court explicitly rejected nullification in the case of Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1 (1958). The state of Arkansas had passed several laws in an effort to prevent the integration of its schools. The Supreme Court, in its only opinion to be signed by all nine justices, held that state governments had no power to nullify the Brown decision. The Supreme Court held that the Brown decision and its implementation "can neither be nullified openly and directly by state legislators or state executive or judicial officers nor nullified indirectly by them through evasive schemes for segregation whether attempted 'ingeniously or ingenuously.'"[61] Thus, Cooper v. Aaron directly held that states may not nullify federal law.

Reloading has been a hobby of mine for a long time. A lot of people do it. It's an interesting craft I've shared with my kids and it saves quite a bit of $$ on ammo. I also bake bread, brew beer and build furniture. I guess I'm a DIY kind of guy.

Lol. Sigh.... Employees were/are already protected from that by the 2nd amendment you so vehemently defend.... And there has never been a case of someone being fired for owning a gun legally in MO......ever.... ETA: The point being, it is another piece of completely useless legislation, just like this proposed bill. Since Federal Law is supreme, States have no authority to enforce such laws.

Like I said. Dumbass states. 0 understanding of the way laws work in the USA.

do you mean the entire outfit? or just the codpiece? Lol, that was funny.

Where do you live that these Chuck Norris style home invaders are wandering around the house at night in the dark, with the 100lb rotty mix??? I need to avoid moving there those criminals have brass balls the size of cantelopes. I sure as fuck am not wandering around a strangers house at night when there is a 100lb crazy ass rotweiler chasing me.....all to steal a digital camera and a xbox I could just as easily take from somewhere without a 100lb crazy dog......but thats me. So again, where the hell is this place with these insanely brave burglars?

You guys must fantasize about some serious invaders. I envision a 75lb shepherd as enough for a random home invader looking for my xbox to turn around. I dont see them trying to continue their burglary lol. When Chuck Norris attacks you are going to need your 5 layer system though, I will give you that. As the owner of a 75lb shepherd myself, I can tell you unless your dog has had protection training, most dogs are easily circumvented. Nice ham bone or treat or even just a very confident person can get around him. Again, what kind of burglars do you guys envision are prowling the neighborhood at night? They are unafraid of strange 75lb German Shepherds, and carrying around ham bones. Lol. My shepherd bit the shit out of my dad when he walked in the house without knocking once. Maybe if he brought a ham bone in it woulda been ok. Good thoughts.]

Lol well several dumbass states have introduced legislation like this Unfortunately now its my dumbass state. Fun fact: It is illegal for an employer in MO to fire you for owning a firearm. Thanks to Rep. Wanda Brown. It is NOT illegal to be fired for sexual orientation in MO. Thanks to Rep. Wanda Brown. Here is the email I sent her when she introduced the bill about making it illegal to be fired for owning a gun.... "Miss Brown Please step down from public service. Your complete and utter ignorance is such an insult to all of Missouri. Please please, never again cast a vote that could actually affect someones life. You should probably try something more along the lines of recycling old cans. Thanks. XXXXXX" She didn't respond ;[. My state is fcked.

http://tinypic.com/r/rl9udt/6 Thats my Brinks home security.

To tell you the truth what scares me is from the LEO posts on here, it seems like LEO is pretty damn untrained as well. Thats scary. I don't know that its a good reason to not train anyone else, but it sure is scary! I will think twice before trusting a cop after hearing these stories.

Or perhaps another way to look at it. How is swooping a crazy loaded canopy with a go pro, different from swooping a crazy loaded canopy with a go pro? Whether you are Bignugget with 17 jumps, or Dav with (alot?), swooping is swooping, go pros are go pros, and skydiving is skydiving. Well I'd be on the losing end of that example I think.
