THE DANGER OF GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONES

I bought that movie

It is hard not to draw a line between the hostility that is being fomented in our culture from some in the secular media toward Christians and evangelicals in particular and the acts of violence that took place in Colorado yesterday. But I will say no more for now other than that our friends at New Life Church and YWAM are in our thoughts and prayers.

LAS VEGAS -- Authorities were looking for two suspects Wednesday in the shooting of six young people at a school bus stop following a fight about a girl.

The six were shot Tuesday shortly after a group of Mohave High School students got off a school bus in a working-class neighborhood in northeastern Las Vegas. The suspects were believed to have fled on foot.

If u were a predatory criminal,
wud u rather prey upon a helpless victim,
or upon one who is well armed and ready to hurt u ?

Please tell us that.

Truly & honestly, David,
I find it almost impossible to get into that mind-set.

But perhaps this is because,
while you were watching all those westerns while growing up,
I was watching Disneyland! :wink:

More guns! Bigger guns!

In my opinion,
.44 special is optimal, with hollowpointed rounds;
I 'd not go with .44 magnum.
Next above that wud be an SMG,
but even a MAC 11 is too big & clumsy
to carry around all the time.
Maybe an H&K MP5 KA4 ? or a silenced SD5 ?
to avoid noise pollution

Americans must stand up and face the violence
and evil of their neighbors!

Yes,
or anyone who wishes to be able to fight for his own property and survival.

Violent recidivists shud be removed
from the North American Continent ( unless the Canadians want them ).

I also enjoyed the more recent movie on that subject, around 2000,
called " The Patriot " in which the virtues of self defense were demonstrated.
The part when 2 of the hero 's little boys opend up on the English...

British. Get it right.

I suppose that the culture which created them is the culture which deserves them.

Perhaps, if I might recommend, as regards your future, a bit less gun fetishism.

Quote:

Yeah, but I'm talking about the fetish for USING guns and weaponry.

Its a good idea to visit the gunnery range once in a while
to stay in shape; its kinda fun.
I have been repeatedly accosted there by attenders, including the police,
who admired the beauty of my ordnance.
Thay liked my taste.

Quote:

Abritrarily rent five American movies and count the death toll from bullets.
Turn on a few hours of tv drama, any station.
and add up the number of blown up heads and writhing bad guys without a kneecap.

Some movies or TV have stories that r unrelated to violence;
not all of them. Sometimes American dramatists like to be exciting.

Suppose I watch Basil Rathbone in a Sherlock Holmes movie
of England when it was free ?
or maybe one of Ian Fleming 's James Bond movies ?
or one of Agatha Christie 's Miss Marple movies ?

Did anyone get hurt in the works of Wm. Shakespeare ?

Quote:

Or do a survey of video games available.

I have seen some repulsive children 's video games on TV,
but everyone has a right to free expression.

Quote:

You guys in the US are,
and I say this with all due respect, INSANELY MURDEROUS.

Many of the guys who get slammed r bad guys who DESERVED IT;
i.e., it was not murder.
Sometimes we have movies like " Jaws " when the fish deserved what he got.

Quote:

Your gun fetish hasn't caused this, but is just part of it.

Maybe, but it is for self defense,
which is the opposite of murder
or
the cure for attempted murder and for robbery.
If someone attempts to murder me,
I certainly wish to be able to handle the situation
better than Kitty Genovese or Reginald Denny did.

Quote:

At some point, if you really do care about innocents being shot,
you really ought to wrestle with how pathologically violent American culture is.

and then WHAT ?
All we can do is offer opinions about culture.
Stalin, Hitler n Pol Pot cud and did change the cultures
by which thay were surrounded; we can 't do that.

What do u suggest for the culture ?
How do I make people adopt MY taste, within an ambiance of freedom

and individual choice ?

Well, thay were from England; that makes them ENGLISH.

I did not see the Scotch in that movie.

Status of the Islands

1.

The Islands are not part of the United Kingdom and have no representation in Parliament at Westminster. The "Crown Dependencies" comprise:
* the Bailiwick of Guernsey (including Alderney, Sark and Herm)
* the Isle of Man
* the Bailiwick of Jersey

2.

They are internally self-governing "Dependencies" of the Crown included in the term "British Islands". They are "British Possessions" but not "colonies" (schedule 1 to the Interpretation Act 1978). To distinguish them from the United Kingdom Overseas Territories (which term has replaced "Dependent Territories"), they should be referred to as "Crown Dependencies". You should ensure that any consultative or other process for overseas territories takes in all the Crown Dependencies.
