Secondly: whats your problem? I'm pro-gun control: but I don't see what disgusting about these images at all. Care to explain?

StankApe · 24th December 2012, 08:00 PM

I've often thought that those most against guns are the ones most in need of them. Unless of course they don't act this smug and self righteous when among real people in the real world. The internet sure makes supermen out of some folks.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the gun picture. That MK 19 is pretty sweet. Anyone who finds fault with the picture likely does not have too much experience with firearms.

triforcharity · 24th December 2012, 08:25 PM

Especially since none of them are loaded.....

And my son and I and a few others are going shooting tomorrow. Maybe even my BIL's full auto AK. Ammo's kinda expensive though.

cwalner · 24th December 2012, 08:36 PM

I don't find it disgusting. I would by lying however if I said I was not disturbed by that picture. seeing a child hold a gun bothers me, especially one that looks bigger than the child.

With his father and a firearms instructor standing nearby, an 8-year-old Connecticut boy shot himself in the head with a submachine gun yesterday, killing himself in an accident some say should never have happened.

triforcharity · 24th December 2012, 08:43 PM

http://www.webmd.com/parenting/news/...ise-among-kids

Researchers say more than 60,000 young children in the U.S. are treated in emergency rooms each year for accidental overdoses because they got into medicines when their parent or caregiver wasn’t looking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charlie Wilkes, What happened in 2008 is tragic, and shouldn't have happened. I'd never let my 8 year old shoot a 9mm Uzi. It's not smart. My son has shot a 20 Ga. Shotgun once, and a .22 rifle and revolver dozens of times. Nothing bigger than that. A 9mm Uzi has a LOT of drift when shooting, and giving it to a child is irresponsible. I feel that the father should have been (if he wasn't) charged with negligent homicide.

Oh I'm sanctimonious huh? I am the father of a child around the same age as the children killed by lax gun laws few weeks ago.

whatever

You can spew all your crap. But make no mistake about it. The changes are coming..

Sanctimonious or not.

Sanctimonious or not.

yes, you are. and frankly, the age of your kid has nothing to do with this issue. It only explains the emotion fueling your lack of rational thinking.

Changes coming? maybe an AWB, nothing else will get through congress. Both parties have LOTS of constituents who would be more than happy to vote them out of office in a couple of years if they tried to do much more than that.

This assumption of yours that getting mad at gun people because some individual decided to get angry at the world is misplaced and solves nothing, will stop not one mass killing. Blame the carpenter, not the hammer.

I don't have the pic, but as a kid there were pics taken at a shoot with me in the prone position, shooting this:

I was 9 - 10 at the time iirc.

Amnesty registered 1919A6 MG from the Korean war.

I'll say it yet again, we banned the hammer in Australia and nobody has been nailed for 16 years.

And before somebody says "people have been murdered in Auatralia", I'm talking about mass murders by firearms.

Good for you. Santa's dropping off a Remington Model 597 in pink camo and a couple of bricks of .22LR for my 11-year old daughter. We'll spend tommorow evening getting the thing zeroed and learning semi-auto safety. She's badly outgrown her Cricket single shot. Needless to say, the rabbits are in for a nasty suprise tommorow evening.

I hope everyone involved/witnessing said it never should have happened - if it the one I am pretty sure it was, a similar (but just adults involved) had ocurred some 3 weeks before or after this one - both IIRC involved unfamiliarity of how smgs on full auto will rise.

Another lie. Two deaths is not a massacre, by definition.

Look, I know how uncomfortable it must be for when faced with evidence that banning semi-automatics and handguns saves lives, but to pretend that this strategy has not been successful in Australia is simply ridiculous.

Yes, we can and have. you do not wish to accept it - which is your right - but it does not change facts. We have explained and justified our end of the argument fully and completely. You are free to differ and obviously do. You will try to push politicians your way, I will do the same. I think you (and I) will see the same silliness that happened last time happen again, but before it happens at least one more "assault rifle" (your side's term for a weapon that no military would call that) with multiple high cap mags will have been sold thanks to this situation.And I am pretty sure the actual number is in the thousands if any stats I have been hearing are close to correct. My advantage is I don't want one based on the AR15/M-16.

Why do you think it is a giant machine gun? It appears to be an AR-15/M-16 with a silencer and grenade launcher under it. Not a giant and possibly not a machine gun. It might even be a movie prop.

nope wrong again! no parting gifts for you!

He tried to kill everyone (5 wounded remember) he was subdued before he could kill anymore (hence the belt loaded with handguns) the motive, the method all point to a mass killing. Only the result was different.

he profiles as a mass killer, his intent was to commit a mass killing. I don't understand why you don't get that? (oh wait, yes I do, it points out that your little bit of govt oppression didn't work)

as I pointed out in another thread, if a bomber is captured because his bomb fails to go off. This doesn't make him not a bomber. (nor the target not a bomb target) It makes him unsuccessful.

the hand waving away of that incident does not mean it didn't happen, nor does it mean it won't happen again.

If anyone is a liar, it is you.

Justified? Where? I don't think so. And again, less anyone forget... I am not anti-gun.

I am anti nutters getting guns and I'm anti individuals stocking up for the end of the world or the zombie apocalypse.

I'll just let the facts speak for themselves. Nobody (obviously other than you) calls killing two people mass murder. It's the intent that matters? Only in some weird gun toting world I'm unfamiliar with.

StankApe · 24th December 2012, 11:04 PM

you apparently don't anything about the classifications of crime. the way criminals are profiled and the ways this information is used to help improve crime detection and prevention. I suspect people in your law enforcement do. and I suspect they would treat him as a mass killer when they interviewed him, qualified his crime and attempted to use this information to better educate law enforcement.

If a guy walks into a McDonalds with a belt full of guns and starts shooting like mad, missing often and is either subdued or killed before he kill anyone. It would not be considered a "homicide" but HE would be profiled and treated as a mass killer by law enforcement (psychologically). Just as people who get caught before the building burns down,are considered arsonists and those who mail bombs that don't go off are considered bombers. They may not have been successful in the completion of their crimes. But they "are" that criminal.

I would by lying however if I said I was not disturbed by that picture. seeing a child hold a gun bothers me, especially one that looks bigger than the child. I don't have the pic, but as a kid there were pics taken at a shoot with me in the prone position, shooting this: I was 9 - 10 at the time iirc. Amnesty registered 1919A6 MG from the Korean war.

Blame the carpenter, not the hammer. I'll say it yet again, we banned the hammer in Australia and nobody has been nailed for 16 years. And before somebody says "people have been murdered in Auatralia", I'm talking about mass murders by firearms.

What's wrong with emotion responding to those apologetic towards guns because of their own emotions? They have no rational response except to pretend I'm over emotional. What if I am? You can still try to explain your nonsense. But you can't.

Santa's dropping off a Remington Model 597 in pink camo and a couple of bricks of .22LR for my 11-year old daughter. We'll spend tommorow evening getting the thing zeroed and learning semi-auto safety. She's badly outgrown her Cricket single shot. Needless to say, the rabbits are in for a nasty suprise tommorow evening.

I hope everyone involved/witnessing said it never should have happened - if it the one I am pretty sure it was, a similar (but just adults involved) had ocurred some 3 weeks before or after this one - both IIRC involved unfamiliarity of how smgs on full auto will rise.

Two deaths is not a massacre, by definition. Look, I know how uncomfortable it must be for when faced with evidence that banning semi-automatics and handguns saves lives, but to pretend that this strategy has not been successful in Australia is simply ridiculous.

They have no rational response except to pretend I'm over emotional. What if I am? You can still try to explain your nonsense. But you can't. Yes, we can and have. you do not wish to accept it - which is your right - but it does not change facts. We have explained and justified our end of the argument fully and completely. You are free to differ and obviously do. You will try to push politicians your way, I will do the same. I think you (and I) will see the same silliness that happened last time happen again, but before it happens at least one more "assault rifle" (your side's term for a weapon that no military would call that) with multiple high cap mags will have been sold thanks to this situation.And I am pretty sure the actual number is in the thousands if any stats I have been hearing are close to correct. My advantage is I don't want one based on the AR15/M-16.

Why do you think it is a giant machine gun? It appears to be an AR-15/M-16 with a silencer and grenade launcher under it. Not a giant and possibly not a machine gun. It might even be a movie prop.

Look, I know how uncomfortable it must be for when faced with evidence that banning semi-automatics and handguns saves lives, but to pretend that this strategy has not been successful in Australia is simply ridiculous. nope wrong again! no parting gifts for you! He tried to kill everyone (5 wounded remember) he was subdued before he could kill anymore (hence the belt loaded with handguns) the motive, the method all point to a mass killing. Only the result was different. he profiles as a mass killer, his intent was to commit a mass killing. I don't understand why you don't get that? (oh wait, yes I do, it points out that your little bit of govt oppression didn't work) as I pointed out in another thread, if a bomber is captured because his bomb fails to go off. This doesn't make him not a bomber. (nor the target not a bomb target) It makes him unsuccessful. the hand waving away of that incident does not mean it didn't happen, nor does it mean it won't happen again. If anyone is a liar, it is you.
