That's actually an oft-quoted but wholly inaccurate statement. "Half" does not mean that exactly half are below that level and half are above it. For this claim to make sense, you'd have to say that the other "half" are above average intelligence. Then who would be average intelligence? An...

Well, it's easier than getting criminals off the streets... :barf: And besides, "We have to do something!" :rolleyes: -flier

I like triple-Oh-seven's response, but I would also point out the vast VAST number of people who, despite being far too irresponsible to drive an automobile, are allowed to do so. Of course, they are completely unsupervised as they drive, and the only thing stopping them from doing reckless...

How about put the damned pirates in the water bound, to drown or be eaten (prolly both), but leave one alive and adrift with a little food and water on a small raft. Let him tell the story of what happened to whoever rescues him. In fact, put him in a set of clothes that explain who he is and...

I'm with you, there. Not only would it be effective, it would be fun! :D -flier

Isn't it amazing that medical science pretty much has seen it all, and doctors can pretty much take a look at some catastrophic tissue damage/disruption and say, "Okay, I know what we gotta do to put this right"? Unbelievable. I look at that palm picture and think, "Some doctor had to look...

Thanks. I owe that to my dad, who trained me to look around and scan like a pilot. Now I do it everywhere I go. :) -flier

I haven't had Golden Sabre ammunition for a while, because if I am not suffering from some weird made-up memory, the "golden" color rubbed off on something (was it my fingertips?) the one time I did have some of them. I have always favored Federal Hydra-Shok handgun ammunition -- largely by...

My thinking is that unless you are some sort of super-SEAL, I very much am skeptical of your claim that you can draw, and fire two shots, in under 1.25 seconds. I am thinking of a typical CCW scenario in which your handgun would have to be concealed prior to your draw. Maybe it's just me...

The GLOCK 27 carries 9+1, and I used to supplement that with another 9-rounder. Now I got post-post-ban 15-rounders (they are GLOCK 22 mags, which fit the subcompact) so I carry another 15 rounds. Total (including those loaded in the gun) is 25. I think that *ahem* oughta do it for whatever...

What a maroon. So what you're saying is, he could've gone scot-free if he had just shut his damn mouth and kept it that way. As in the famous Monty Python "lupin" sketch: "There! Let that be a lesson to you all!" P.S. I think that his "victim" gets some portion of everything he'll make...

and a lawn you can park a few cars on! :p -flier

That's a pretty lame poll. It mixes apples and oranges. If you're opening the poll to the citizens of the nation, the poll's issues should be national ones. Why aren't things like re-allowing manufacture and sale of select-fire weapons, or repeal of the NFA on there? :cuss: Forgive me for...

How about a successful Supreme Court challenge of ALL INFRINGEMENTS ON THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, such that the real meaning of the Second Amendment is clearly stated by the court in a decision that confirms that it guarantees an individual right?! You know, a decision by...

Hear-freakin'-HEAR! Now, this raises an important question: If a robbery victim DOES recognize that it's a BB gun and not a firearm that is being used to rob him, is he justified in using DPF against the robber, for fear of grievous harm or death from the BB GUN? I feel that DPF would...

Actually, it's more accurate to say that he could have killed a guy who robbed him at gunpoint. End of story. If you credibly believed it was a real firearm, it was a real firearm. That's how the law views it, and that's how morality views it. -flier

Those are three things that would top my list of what to send, too. Possibly also a Zippo lighter -- simple and reliable, and useful. -flier

Who needs to obey laws when getting guns "off the street"?! We have to think of the CHILDREN, Kurush! ;) Come to think of it, why should someone who did 18 months for felony bad-check writing lose his right to own firearms, for that matter? Lots of things don't make sense but they do it...

Amazingly excellent point, ArmedBear. There is no sense in squawking about how many guns he had, because all but one of them were NOT used in the killings. Those guns were "harmless" here. -flier

Wow. I used to get their catalog in the mail -- not sure if I ever did order anything from them. I might have, back in the '90s. But after hearing about this stuff -- NO WAY will I be giving them my money. (I liked that: "Son, don't ever beg anybody to take your money." Brilliant! :D )...
