Off Topic Texas Shooting.

Loved that show, and that clips a belter (played by Jeff Daniels)

 

It was indeed Jeff Daniels. My bad Chazz. Apologies.

 

Great show though
Wish it was on Netflix

 

It was very good, one of the best opening scenes I've ever seen.

 

I have a simplistic view that is too idealist.

If banning guns could save up to 10 innocent lives a year why wouldn't you do it?

Imagine if one of those was your family and you knew that it could of been stopped. Poor innocent people keep dieing and I cant even attempt to imagine the pain their families are going through.

 

Everyone has this perception that they can become a hero and save lives because they are carrying a gun, it rarely ever happens, the majority of shooters are taken out by the police or more likely themselves. The chance of them ever having to stop an attacker are minuscule, even then they don't know if they'd have the skill or nerve to do it under pressure.

I'm sure his uncle-in-law might say no one would ever take his guns but I doubt he'd shoot a law enforcement official that came to take them away if they were to become illegal. If he did shoot him then he becomes an example of why people shouldn't have guns in the first place.

 

It's an amendment. It just needs another amendment to take that bit out again.

 

In any case, the whole 'bear arms' thing has been entirely misunderstood:

 

There is a staggering number of people out there who don't know what amendment means.

 

Didn't he used to be in Shalamar?

 

Better tell Switzerland a free state doesn't need a regulated militia then.

 

Yet they insist on having one.

 

It has worked. When was the last time they were invaded?

 

There was obviously a time when having the people armed was a very good defence mechanism, but that idea became a bit obsolete some time around August 1945.

Now it's just some silly right to have a dick comparing competition. And some people use their dicks for questionable purposes.

 

So, since then France, Poland, Russia, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, Finland, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Lithuania, Romania, Hungary and others have been invaded, many more than once. But Switzerland hasn't. Seems to work.
