...Never crossed my mind.....

Depends on the type of shot you're using. Number 4 is supposedly the perfect home defense round, and in that case I agree. But 00 will penetrate walls just as readily as a medium caliber handgun round. There are fragmenting handgun rounds that minimize this danger. Handguns are easier to get around corners, easier to get up against a corner, and less likely to be wrested from you. They also grant you concealment if you dont want to show your hand.

Actually, sawed off shotguns are already illegal. 18" barrel required. Penalty for violation is as severe as owning a fully automatic gun in many states. In Washington State there is NO waiting period for a gun purchase w/concealed weapons permit. A handgun is the ideal personal/home protection. The shotgun being the perfect home defense weapon is pure hooey, IMO. But you're right about the dog! Absolutely nothing beats a loyal medium-to-large sized dog for home security. Unfortunately, the bad elements of society seem fond of certain unstable breeds these days.

Yes. I hear it's beautiful. I've read rumors about a Cobalt weapon in the arsenal too. Now that would make for some beautiful blue/indigo desert glassware if retaliation was in order.

Let's face it. A hydrogen bomb is clearly the healthiest way to be incinerated. Light and natural, with no messy neutrons. Too bad they're so big and expensive. It's not fair to the underpriveledged that only the wealthy can afford the best weapons.

Good point. Two guns below. Same caliber, same semi-auto capability. One is classified a so-called "assault rifle" and one is not. But neither of these guns would get you anywhere near a person who is proficient with this weapon: A simple bolt-action hunting rifle in common .308 or .30-06. Puts out over 3 times the energy that the .223 has. So what's the point in banning a gun that is used in less than 1% of crime, is less powerful than a hunting rifle, and almost impossible to conceal?

Kim Jong Ill. He uses only enriched Uranium in his weapons. Uranium is nature's bounty, straight from the earth. I'm trying to stay healthy these days, and Osama's weapon would likely contain a fusion-boosted plutonium core from a Soviet stockpile. Very unhealthy, IMO, because as most of you already know, Plutonium is not natural.

Even you once claimed to be unimpressed with the title. While I admire the hard work, dogged persistence, money, and yes, intellect it surely takes to reach the pinnacle of Mount Edu, I don't think the award grants special standing outside of the holder's field of study. Especially regarding politics. Besides, its been a fairly effective button to push.

Your source on that pic is BBC. We're talking American media. Besides; when you're net worth is $25,000,000, looks matter less.

Stop making sense, Foraker! I need to hate you.

After you explain how congress can repeal constitutional amendments on a whim. Aren't you embarrased? I would be.

Mountain Mouse. I think you better go back to....3rd grade. The "Bill of Rights" includes the first 10 amendments to the constitution. They cannot be changed by "a whim of congress" - but trying to explain the process by which they can is probably just rushing ahead. We'll give that lesson next week...and I'll try to speak slowly. Meanwhile, try taking your foot out of your mouth. I think it's telling that those here who share your beliefs - but not your lagging intellect - are willing to overlook your glaring idiocy.

He and his henchmen gave a press conference today demanding that the state leftistlature outlaw certain-looking guns and impose a law that was soundly rejected by over 70% of state voters nine years ago. http://www.womenandguns.com/wfn/i676.html Shamelessly trying to capitalize on events in Tacoma today. Unbelievable. Maybe he should start by firing his police chief who can't seem to keep track of his own pistol! http://www.seattle.gov/news/detail.asp?ID=6877&Dept=40 Not much doubt that the governor Seattle politicos bought and paid for will do their bidding.

You don't run this state you fat fuck.

Nein. Ich bin eine Deutschlander. Mine muter und mine fater. Einhundred %.

As Archenemy recently asked: "What is wrong with you?" that's 'cause i asked if she was wearing lace. thats between us. I won't speak for Arch, but you have some serious fucking problems, creep.

BOTH YOU AND BUCKAROO ARE ASSUMING THAT ALL JEWS THINK ALIKE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY SHARE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. That's a form of racism. Got it? As Archenemy recently asked: "What is wrong with you?"

Agreed.

I'm almost with you on that. Seriously. I will miss you! ...and I mean that in a completely hetro non-sexual way. Keep in touch. Brian

Ahh, more backpedaling. You were very specific about acerage, etc. Did you just make that up too?

That's called sarcasm you fucking dolt. What is racist, is Buckaroo strongly suggesting that American (or Israeli) Jews -who supposedly control American media - have hidden motives or a unified agenda. Even a dumb-fuck like you should be able to see that.

Are you a member of the Verendra7/Jmckay fantasy club too? I hear its very exclusive.

No. Actually, you didn't. Your memory didn't fail you - you simply heard an obscure snippet or two once or twice and fused it with your belief system, then polished it up a bit and tried to present it here as fact. And you got caught. Simple, really. Now, tell me more about those evil Jews who control 90% of the media. Even if you can demonstrate this - which I doubt - what does it matter? Do you believe all American Jews are really Israeli agents? Do you know where their loyalties lie? Do you understand how racist your comment was?

Let me see if I have this straight: You throw out dozens of bullshit claims, and when challenged your only counter is "just Google it yourself - you'll see!" That's probably the weakest bullshit reply I've ever read. For future reference; when making outrageous claims the burden of a footnote, link, citation, whatever, falls upon you. Don't insult yourself and others by regurgitating unsubstantiated horseshit and then telling the masses to Google it for themselves. The internet is not a library...or a bodyguard...or a teat. Grow a brain. edit: I am especially curious about the 4 ex-Nazi's in the Bush 41 administration. I'm sure I could "google" it myself, but I would like you to tell me their names. After all, it is you making the claim. Mainstream sources preferred. Now back it up.

I think those fuckers should be castrated and burned alive at the stake. I think she deserves a medal or something. You don't like little rich white boys - so to hell with the truth and justice?
