Sick. Daniel Defence I understand is a weapon store/trader in the US, and obviously close to the NRA. The above was an advertisement posted one week before the amok run. They took the Tweet down after the incident, but the internet was faster, and does not forget and does not forgive.

I wouldn't call it sick, rather, it's unfortunate timing. Very unfortunate. I see nothing wrong with teaching kids about guns, I mean, a lack of a strong father figure, and of a caring community is what usually births creeps like the shooter. Just my two cents.

I'm OK with some extra gun laws, tho I don't think they'll ever stop mass school shootings if someone is determined to do it. However, anyone that lives as an adult, has a home and family has the right to defend it. One thing I notice with most murderers today arrested is they usually have a long violent rap sheet often with illegal gun charges. I see the NY subway murderer turned himself in. He had 19 previous arrest, many violent and several illegal gun charges. His last bail was $1000. With so many violent people let go so easily I'll stand by the fight to own guns to defend your life, home and family.

Hell ya, Some of my fondest memories are range days with dad started when I think I was around 9 years old. That and during U.S. Army open house day getting to sight-in a 60mm mortar and use practice rounds to blow up a model village when I was in 10th grade.

Years ago the Wife and I went on vacation to Maui.
My StepSon was 17 and stayed at home since he had School and a job. There were no fire arms in the house. While gone people invaded my home and my StepSon and a friend ended up in the hospital. Luckily just beaten and not worse! So now days? I'd just as soon shoot you dead as to argue with you on my property! I have signs that say exactly that! Not a single Gun is registered. And they are all legal and not stolen. Hell. I have the tooling to build fire arms in my basement!

I think 21 for buying at the most. Regardless, if you're intent on breaking the law by murdering someone, a gun violation is the last thing you care about, especially if you're going on a murderous rampage. As far as handling, that's too far, you'll get every pa who wants to take his son shooting arrested. That's IF you can enforce it. Again, if someone wants to go on a murderous rampage, they don't give a damn about any laws. It would be a hindrance, and ineffectual, plus the New York subway shooter was in his 60s, proving that age has no bearing on the issue. What we need is to bring back asylums, treat the mentally ill, encourage stronger communities and two-parent marriages, as well as beefing up school security in terms of doors and the like.

I fear the people driving while playing on the damned phones more then a crazy with a Gun!
I actually retired since my Old Job had me on the road all the time. I have Body Armour for the Shooters. So it's not the places I had to work and the crazy people there. It's Mr and Mrs play on the damned phones while driving! You'd not believe the number of bodies I've seen on the road!

Obviously the child wouldn't posses or own it. I'd be more scared if the child had a handgun. Armalite Rifle or Avtomat Kalashnikova, proper gun safety and storage rules still apply. It's better to teach a child to respect firearms for what they are, then have lil johnny find grandma's gun and not know what it is. My father reared me on a BB gun, and eventually, he took me shooting. Any self respecting gun owner wouldn't give a 5-year old anything he couldn't handle, that's a given. Also, hand grenades are for weaklings, I was gonna get timmy a pocket nuke, but never mind.

Throwing the book at criminals and shipping them off to China to serve their sentences would do wonders to decrease criminal acts.

Not even capital punishment does have that effect. The solution is prevention - prevent people from becoming criminals in the first place, by giving them a good education, perspectives and a purpose. |
