A miracle has happened here!! I actually understood Murray's post. Not saying I agree (completely). Nor do I recognize the sentence structure exactly. But wow....I understood virtually every word! Way to go Murray!!!

OK, like I said, I don't know a thing about hunting. But I never have seen an M16 with a scope. A granade launcher maybe (which would DEFINITELY do in those pesky squirrels, rabbits, prairie dogs and other assorted rodents). I seem to recall that at one time there was a long barrel version but...

Here we have yet another example of why my pal Dan is one of my very favorite all-time "good guy" conservatives. The rare animal....a thinking man's republican:) (Besides, I DID say "generally", right?) No, restricting or eliminating gun ownership would NOT make the public safer now...

Has Optional EVER failed to deliver???? :-)

Size? It's about cartidge power, velocity and fragmentation. I don't hunt, and maybe there is hunting ammo in that caliber. I have no idea about that. An M-16 is designed to kill people in combat. Not for hunting. It's got no recoil, is very light weight, and actually designed to be...

I don't think he was trying to advocate that at all. I think it was about him NOT believing in the proliferation of handguns based on an excuse of them being used for home defense. While it is certainly true that a handgun is more convenient to use, really, how many home invasions are foiled...

Ok, thanks....and yeah, I DID lie (stretch the truth) about my military service. I PM'd my pal max and explained what was real and what wasn't and why I said what I did. Suffice it to say it was for the sake of simplicity and also to exaggerate a point. But sadly, I was there, and I was shot...

?????? :confused: You must have me confused with someone else:) And ElCubano, you gun toting maniac.....I agree. If the bad guys can have them, then we should be allowed to also. But my contention really was that the world would be a safer place if no one had guns. Obviously, this is...

Yup, but not my style of trading....I am a position builder. And Vladiator......yes, same kind of time frame. Very quick. Peace and all that stuff, :)rs7

Not necessary. If we had nothing to argue about, it would be boring. And yes, I agree that there is virtually no use for a .22 handgun. They say it's a ladies gun. I say that's bullshit. A woman is getting raped...she says "hold on, I need to get something from my purse". A .22 is a street...

I don't remember the last time that the initial move wasn't reversed and then confirmed like today. I have seen this so many times, I am embarassed that I can't seem to pull the trigger and assume it will happen again. As it has virtually every time for the past 5 or 6 years. :(

I don't think nor did I ever say that hunting weapons should be banned. I have not heard of crossbows being used in a criminal capacity. I must not be paying attention to the latest developments in armed robbery or terrorism. I will try and do better. What does the word "unaccurate" mean...

:) ...yeah, but I let Rod Smith get away to you by mistake:( You got a good eye my friend! I couldn't undo it fast enough:( Yup, that's the problem. Just too many guns. I don't have the answers. Never claimed to. I just think that if restrictions are tighter, MAYBE the problem will...

Well, I will admit that the drive by's were bloodier when someone swung an axe or a sword from their chariot. Then again, blood quantity doesn't mean a lot. Dead is dead. But how many victims could a bad guy get in one sweep with a sword? And how many bystanders got hit by a stray ricochet of...

Nope, they have to protect ourselves from ourselves. Except for guns:confused: A 14 year old girl gets raped by an escapee from a mental asylum in Ireland. Has to go to Sweden to get an abortion. But can't get there, because the government won't issue her a passport. They were "protecting"...

It's people like him also that make me believe that if guns can't be completely eliminated; and it seems rather late for that, then to get a permit, one should not only have a clean record, but an IQ test and a personality profile, and a sanity hearing should be mandatory. But it's all to much...

A 9mm is a "tiny" gun? I suggest you read the posts you respond to. Shoot NOT to kill, and it doesn't work...well that's the whole purpose of a 9mm. I KNOW I can get off 5 or 6 rounds from a 9mm before I could get off a second shot with a 44. The police seldom use M16s or sniper rifles. Never...

Your point about the Second Amendment is true. But the stuff available now wasn't dreamed of in the 18th century. Who needs an automatic MAC 10 for anything other than a drive by shooting? Can't use it for hunting. Don't need it for self defense. Just seems to not make a lot of sense for any...

that nasdaq dynamic pre market thing does look like a cool site. I haven't seen it in the morning, so I am not sure how much value there really is to it though. Last sale can be misleading. The only way I have ever really been able to anticipate gap opens on nyse stocks is on my...

What you say is correct. Except that you may legally buy a copy of these assault rifles, then easily convert them to full automatic. It is one of those nonsense laws. You can buy the weapon. You can buy the kit. You just aren't supposed to put them together. Like pot in some states. You can have...
