Gun control...

Izzy,
suppose that your favorite person (or favorite people)
were abruptly beset with predators, giving rise to a dangerous situation.

Patsy D. Long, 34, of Deep Water, was pronounced dead early Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun.
Patsy Long was standing outside the residence while her husband was installing a satellite television system.
According to sheriff's department spokesman Maj. Robert Hills, Ronald Long fired a shot from the inside of their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means. Investigators said Ronald Long believed his family was inside the house.
He told authorities that he fired a second shot, then called out his wife's name and the names of their two children. When he got no reply, he ran outside and found his wounded wife.
Patsy Long was hit by the second of two shots fired by Ronald Long, the Henry County Sheriff's Department said.
Hills said a person involved in such a case normally would be charged with manslaughter, but that was up to the prosecutor.
"Once we complete a diagram of the incident, we will be submitting everything to the prosecuting attorney and let him decide if he wants to press criminal charges," Hills said.
Hills described the family as being very "distraught."
Henry County Coroner Scott Largent declined to release details about Patsy Long's death until the Sheriff's Department completes its investigation.

Several inquiries have been made into the conduct of Swiss banks during the Nazi Germany period (1933–1945), especially regarding funds deposited by or allegedly stolen from victims of the Holocaust. The campaign causing the highest outlays ($1.25 billion in 1999) on the part of the Swiss banking industry as of 2009 was the World Jewish Congress lawsuit against Swiss banks launched by Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, in concert with US Senator Alfonse d'Amato of New York.

The audit run by the Volcker commission which resulted from this lawsuit cost CHF 300 million and gave its final report in December 1999. It determined that the 1999 book value of all dormant accounts possibly belonging to victims of Nazi persecution that were unclaimed, closed by the Nazis, or closed by unknown persons was CHF 95 million. Of this total, CHF 24 million were "probably" related to victims of Nazi persecution.[38] In addition the commission found "no proof of systematic destruction of records of victim accounts, organized discrimination against the accounts of victims of Nazi persecution, or concerted efforts to divert the funds of victims of Nazi persecution to improper purposes." It also "confirmed evidence of questionable and deceitful actions by some individual banks in the handling of accounts of victims"

....The K31 is noted for its straight-pull action, meaning that the bolt is pulled directly back, then pushed forward to cycle the action between shots, rather than being turned and pulled back and forth, as in the Mosin Nagant pattern rifles such as the M1891, or as in the more well known Mauser pattern rifles such as the K98k.

K31s are also noted for their excellent accuracy and quality. The Swiss considered individual marksmanship to be of utmost importance. Therefore, the K31 was made with tight tolerances and excellent overall craftsmanship. Many shooters are able to achieve one minute of arc with unmodified K31s.....

A stupid person who can legally obtain a gun.
We don't let our stupid people do that.

Yes, and our gun crime statistics tell their own story.

If my loved ones decided to go into an environment full of savage beasts there would be a need for a gun then, but they're not in such an environment. They're a lot safer over here than they would be if all and sundry were allowed to carry weapons.

The fact that your murders are (usually) committed without guns doesn't make the murder victims any less dead.

Banking is what those people normally do for a living; operating a bank never saved anybody from the Adolf Hitlers of the world. The thing which saved the Swiss from Hitler is the K31 rifle.

You really are monomaniacal. After the war the Swiss banks were still functioning, all the banks in Germany were taken over by the Allies/Soviets. The top Nazis all hated each other, Switzerland's secrecy meant they could stash money without other Nazis being aware of it. What else did Switzerland have other than secrecy?

I'm not attracted to firearms, I'm attracted to women, although I do understand that people with inadequate genitalia
use firearms to compensate.

I wouldn't want to live in a 'free' country where my children are forces to swear militaristic pledges of allegiance

, I'm forced to carry photo ID,

there's no Universal Health Care and inadequates like Oralboy are allowed automatic weapons.

It's not just gun crime that's higher in America, but all homicides, see link. So you're more likely to be beaten to death in America than Britain. You can keep your 'freedoms' thank you very much.
