Thread: Enough is enough

Everyone PLEASE write to your media rep and tell them to shut the *@!$ up about Dick Cheney and the bird shot!.

I'm so sick of this. I can't stand the man personally but hey, If any of us accidentally shot a guy the media wouldn't be hounding us for not reporting it personally. I'm surprised the media isn't upset at dick and george for not calling in what brand of TP they use to wipe with every time they dump!

Whew! I feel better now. Thanks

No, they would be reporting on our attempted murder trial.

Don't forget about reassesing the states gun laws, taxes on ammo, and investigating why you felt the need to own a gun at all. Of course, that would be after you were sued by the family of the vitcim and convicted by the state on several charges...

Yes enough about Dick!!! No one cares other than the pheasants who escaped thanks to Dicks poor shot.

aerosmith classic remixed-

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum it's the sound of my gun.

cheney's got a gun

you know, I've heard hitler successfully removed (most) all guns from homes, making it illegal for citizens to use a gun prior to starting his campaign against Jews. Then he armed the troops to the hilt and went to town.

I've also heard that one of the countries in the EU (switzerland or sweden I think) REQUIRES every male old enough to shoot a gun and young enough to fire it straight (I think the cut of was something in the 60's or late 50's) to have a fully functioning military rifle in their home ready for use. The same article also noted that this country had the lowest crime rate in the world

Every single state in the US which has instated a concealed carry permit program has had their crime rate drop. conversly, the states with the most gun control also have the worst crime.

Doesn't really matter to me either way, they will have to kill me to get my guns, but not before I take a few of em with me

I live in Florida and I do have a concealed wepons permit as well. but here is our law, read this its short and to the point.

I would still rather go hunting with Dick Cheney, than go driving with Ted Kennedy

I believe the magic phrase folks is, "I was in fear for my life. I thought he was going to kill me." One of the main effects of a major adrenaline dump is short-term memory loss. You simply claim not to remember the events -- the investigators won't be able to prove otherwise.

I live in Oklahoma. We have what we affectionately call the "Make My Day" law. If someone breaks into your house, their life is pretty much forfeit. State legislators are currently looking at possibly expanding the bill to be in-line with Florida's recent "Stand Your Ground" law.

We also have a concealed carry law, but it has been bastardized pretty badly though. My favorite item is any business can place a sticker on their door indicating no concealed weapons. If you have a concealed carry permit and go in, it's a felony. If you don't have a permit, it's only a misdemeanor. Not exactly sure how that works... I guess the guy with the CCW permit should have known better. There was a lawyer who taught a section of the course. While the law is written as "what would a reasonable and prudent person do", she told me my martial arts training would almost definitely be used against me in both criminal and civil court if I ever needed to use a concealed weapon, citing other less-lethal means available for dealing with the situation. So, there's no real point for me to pursue it further.

It's simply not worth the amount of time and money involved to stop a punk kid from stealing my stereo. There's the lawyers, time off work for court, new carpet, paint, etc. Hell, if you want my stereo you can have it. If you want my car, hell take it too -- it's insured. If my family is in immediate danger though, I will utilize whatever means are at my disposal to prevent their harm.

Glad you feel better. I really don't know if I like the guy or not. Never met him, but a hunting accident just ain't no big deal. I too am tired of the media coverage.

Yes, it is Switzerland and they carry a semi automatic. I saw a program on it and loved it. The guy was riding his bike with a semi-automatic strapped accross his back. They have no standing army and it is every citizen's duty to be ready to defend his country. They actually take turns at "active duty" and have to carry the gun with them when it is their turn.

I live in Canada and find the attitude towards gun control a placibo. The only thing this achieves is the good guys are unarmed while the criminals are. They don't pay attention to law, duh!

Just today I found out that an ex-work colleage lost his 19 year old brother who was shot in Edmonton a few days ago. So gun control does not really work.

Switzerland's attitude that every able bodied man has to know how to shoot and be ready to do so is healthy. No one is going to protect your sorry ass better than yourself. Any criminal there knows that you won't have to wait for the cops to get there. Farming out protection to someone else is unreliable for that reason and creates either a false sense of security or a police state.

That said, I don't think 12 year olds should carry guns "cause they want respect" either.

I like the Swiss education and training balance of this issue better than the Canadian or the US attitudes.

As far as Dick is concerned, I knew as soon as I heard the story that the media would milk it for all it's got.

Reminds me of the SNL episode "Buckwheat is dead" after the shooting of President Raygun.
