Cutting through the gun debate

The five Democratic candidates for D.A. sharpened elbows in their final debate, taped last night. Seth Williams, Dan McElhatton and Dan McCaffery aimed barbs at each other, but the line of the night came from Brian Grady, who said that state lawmakers must give the city the right to enact stronger gun laws, regardless of the impact on hunters.

"You want to hunt? Get a knife, go out, take the animal down the way they used to. You don't need a gun for that either," Grady said.

The hour-long exchange is scheduled to air at noon Saturday on CW 57, and 11 a.m. Sunday on CBS 3.

"You want to hunt? Get a knife, go out, take the animal down the way they used to. You don't need a gun for that either," Grady said.

Yeah, thats exactly "the way they used to" do it.

Ummm.....are there any better canidates?

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

I hope he is soundly defeated.

 

[Hardtarget]

Somebody give that guy $0.09. He isn't worth a dime! Is he serious...I mean really wants the job!? Un-believable!

the way they used to

The way who used to?

So we should herd animals over cliffs and then finish off the survivors with knives and spears? That's the way they used to do it.

So we should herd animals over cliffs and then finish off the survivors with knives and spears? That's the way they used to do it.

nope... follow the herding off the cliff with a flying elbow or flying head-butt.... only after that, if the animal is still alive, can you then make a knife out of a handy rock using the flint knapping method and put the suffering animal out of its misery... much more humane than a heart or lung shot.

You're supposed to wear nothing but a loin-cloth, cover your face in mud, and then charge at a mother grizzly shrieking while waving your knife around. That is the only kind of "real" hunting.

Anything else is just "making up for certain shortcomings" as food is readily available in the supermarket.

Grady's statement is utterly ridiculous.

How about the next time this guy wants to send an e-mail tell him he doesnt need a computer he can just go get a horse "the wway they used to do it."

Or better yet the next time he gets a cavity we will just pull the tooth out "the way they used to do it."

There is a reason that there are advances in technology.

I would also tell that moron to walk to work instead of driving because that's how they used to do it.

If he gets cancer, I would just tell him to grind some weeds and drink it because that's how they used to do it.

If his kid gets seriously hurt, I'd tell him to oh forget it and just have another one because that's how they used to do it.

 

[lucky_fool]

How about we have a single leader that comes to power because his father was leader before him and do away with all these pesky elections. That's the way they used to do it.

 

[61chalk]

Is that guy related to Pelosi?

 

[gvnwst]

Ya know, in the middle of this dudes pure stupidity, we actually got a good quote. He outright said that you can kill things with a knife, you don't need a gun. (in other words, gun control is stupid, you can get mugged at knifepoint too) He got it so right, without even knowing it.

 

[Dark Skies]

That chap's full of stupid.

 

[22-rimfire]

Just depends on what you huntin'. In Philadelphia, hunting with a big knife may be practical.

"Now that's a knife!"

I would be willing to bet that Grady also favors knife restrictions as well.

 

[10-Ring]

and maybe we should settle things in the streets the way they used to too!

 

[B yond]

We should make a law that will require politicians to be knowledgeable about a given subject before they open their yaps about it.

Of course that would probably prevent political idiocy about as well as gun laws prevent gun crime...

 

[Uncle Curt]

Get a knife, go out, take the animal down the way they used to

Just guessing, his family has been going hungry for a long time....

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

Just guessing, his family has been going hungry for a long time....

Indian word for bad shot, vegetarian.

 

[theotherwaldo]

I doubt that Philadelphia is any more liberal about carrying knives than Texas, and here in Texas we're limited to carrying knives with 4-1/2 inc blades.

I'm not going hunting with that!

 

[Grey54956]

Maybe we should go back to the old ways of doing everything!

Why do we patiently wait to remove imbeciles and tyrants from office by holding free and democratic elections?

Maybe we should go get some tar and feathers.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Can you imagine being involved in a SD shooting in Philly with this guy as the DA?

Well, I'm just glad that the PA state constitution has the firearm and ammunition preemption clause. Philly keeps trying to pass their own gun laws and the state keeps knocking them down.

 

[Mr. Bojangles]

What a crackpot...

 

[Sunray]

Politicians are such idiots when they don't have their 'people' telling them what to say. A DA has no say about anything hunting related. Would like to see this putz kill anything with a knife though.
