How to cut down crime drastically imo

[good ole boy]

Quote from AK Forty Seven:

True.I think most law enforcement would advise against his actions.I carry but against 2 arm robbers in such a small place with that many people I would be scared shitless of the consequences of having a shoot out in that situation.

That's a sober minded assessment. It does appear that the perps had no loaded weapons because they scrambled like mad dogs to get out. Had they been truly armed, another scenario would likely have unfolded.

That old man had balls, and kept advancing while firing.

Robbing an internet cafe?!?

Quote from RCG Trader:

I happen to believe in the sanctity of life. And like your beloved Chris Christie, I also believe that everyone can be redeemed.

"Thou shalt not kill"--pretty much my bottom line.

Even the Bible condones killing when one's life and family are threatened.

Quote from RCG Trader:

CC permits can be issued with training. I personally believe that every woman should be competent with a .22

Might make a potential rapist think twice. As it stands here in Illinois, if you shot a rapist dead in a parking deck, you are going to catch a gun charge. Illinois takes a dim view on gun charges. This is personal to me because I have walked countless women to their cars for fear of assault. If they had some training, and were comfortable with a .22, they could at least have a chance at defense.

Right now, not so much.

Ok, so here you imply that you are OK with a woman shooting and killing a man who is attempting to rape her. Or did I misread?

Quote from Brass:

Not to mention pro-capital punishment...

One point of view seems to be more context driven, whereas the other just seems rather inconsistent. Guess which is which.

Bullshit. You guys on the left throw the word context every time your views contradict each other. Rather sad. When someone says the believe in the sanctity of life, I don't need context.

There really isn't grey area where Sanctity of Life is concerned.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctity_of_life

The phrase sanctity of life looks at the idea that human life is sacred, argued mainly by the pro-life side in political and moral arguments over such controversial issues as abortion, contraception, euthanasia, stem-cell research, and the "right to die" in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries. (Comparable phrases are used in other languages.) Although the phrase was used primarily in the 19th century in Protestant discourse, after World War II the phrase has been appropriated for Roman Catholic moral theology and, following Roe v. Wade, evangelical moral rhetoric.[1]

In Western thought, sanctity of life is usually applied solely to the human species (anthropocentrism, sometimes called dominionism), in marked contrast to many schools of Eastern philosophy, which often hold that all animal life is sacred―in some cases to such a degree that, for example, practitioners of Jainism carry brushes with which to sweep insects from their path, lest they inadvertently tread upon them.

So a person, a human being, is formed at conception? Nah, no context nonsense for you, eh?

Now let's talk about the Right's "sanctity of life" and the need for capital punishment and war at the drop of a hat: "You talkin' to me?!"

(Not to mention a relative disregard for the poor and downtrodden.)

Quote from Brass:

Just curious. Since your user name is only one 8 ("Eight") rather than the conventional two, does it represent the Heil or the Hitler? Either way, it must have been a high price for you to pay for just a bit of added nuance, eh?

buzzkill!!

Let's look at Geezer's technique:

did not seek cover before engaging (his chair might have a been a good choice)

advanced straight into the line of fire (having not taken cover, he did not take evasive action)

fired the first shot right handed (not a two hand grip)

almost went down on one knee, then came back up (hesitation)

remembered to shoot two-handed in the second video

reverted to one-handed cowboy "throw the bullets at 'em" style in subsequent shots

never double-tapped

looked entierely too self-satisfied after the shot out the door

All in all, I'd say an outstanding performance, especially since he got the piece out of his pants so fast, not easy to do sitting down!

As the human reproductive cells, sperm and egg, contain only human DNA, it follows that human life begins actually begins before conception.
