Happy New Year......lol had to pull that up huh?
The moment we arm teachers...... Is the moment everybody should home school. A 3 hour course in hand guns is not enough to arm a teacher...I have more combat experience in room and building clearings than the entire Durham Police Department.... I wouldn't touch a gun at school for anything.
In order to understand how the evolution of guns effects the amount of deaths one only needs to look at our Military History Look at the evolution of the musket to the rifled weapon.
Just saw that..... These idiots want there 15 minutes of fame.
I know this topic is really fun and there's all kinds of valid points that both sides want to voice...........
BUT,
The problem is not with guns!
It's people. Or, in my opinion, it's the collection of people.
If words were guns, this board would be leaching blood.
It's our dysfunctional society, dysfunctional political reps.....
Really, who needs this gun
The Republicans will cease to exist as a party if they fight for the rich and get stupid over this Assualt Rifle gun ban...... I'm sure they will fuck it up. I used to be a Republican but the party I voted for is long gone.....
Hand Grenades were developed during WWI to lob into a trench.....raising your head up to shoot meant death.
Lot of Shady tax return places.
I see another idiot went trigger happy.
Sherman probably due to the medication given to mentally ill people....not the other way around.....medication causes mental illness.
Semper FI!
I did not know you ranked your life by IHub marks.
Bye bye!
So the officials now say he may not have been Autistic.....hmmmmm he locked himself in the room then played video games...acted the Ass.... Now he is not Autistic? No test for Autism......point is anybody can claim Autism.
Fox does break stories.....deal with it.
Why don't you focus on kids getting getting slaughtered here by idiots owning weapons they should not have.
Quite a city there
(CBS/AP) CHICAGO - Authorities are now offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of two bank robbers who used a makeshift rope to escape from a Chicago jail.
Pictures: Inmates escape Chicago prison
The former cellmates apparently broke a cell window, pulled out the bars then descended almost 20 stories to escape the downtown Metropolitan Correctional Center early Tuesday.
Joseph "Jose" Banks, 37, and Kenneth Conley, 38, were unaccounted for during a 5 a.m. headcount, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. An FBI affidavit says the men were in their assigned areas for a head count around 10 p.m. Monday and that jail employees noticed the makeshift rope around 7 a.m.
Inside the cell Tuesday morning, investigators found a broken window and bars inside a mattress, according to an FBI affidavit. Stuffed under blankets on two beds were clothing and sheets, shaped to resemble a body, the affidavit said.
The rope of bed sheets could be seen dangling down the side of the building, at least 200 feet long and knotted about every 6 feet.
Banks and Conley were the first inmates to escape from the federal facility in nearly two decades. It was still unclear how they were able to accumulate enough bed sheets and other items need to pull off the escape, or how jail guards failed to detect the scheme or notice that the men were gone until several hours afterward.
The FBI reissued a plea to the public to be on the lookout for the men, whom they believe are traveling together, and warned that they should be considered armed and dangerous. On Wednesday, Thomas Trautmann, the acting special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Chicago office, announced a $50,000 reward leading to their arrests.
No I'm an Ass!
Are you fucking serious...... You are talking about Fox News?
Here we go....100 round clip.....
The shooting occurred in theater 9 at the Century 16 multiplex (operated by Cinemark), located at the Town Center at Aurora shopping mall[2] at 14300 E. Alameda Avenue.[3] Police said the alleged shooter bought a ticket, entered the theater, and sat in the front row; about 20 minutes into the film, he left the building through an emergency exit door, which he propped open.
It is alleged that he then went to his car, which was parked near the exit door, changed into protective clothing, and retrieved his guns.[4][5] About 30 minutes into the film, police say, around 12:38 a.m.,[6] he re-entered the theater through the exit door. He was dressed in black and wore a gas mask, a load-bearing vest, a ballistic helmet, bullet-resistant leggings, a throat protector, a groin protector and tactical gloves.[7] Initially, few in the audience considered the masked figure a threat. He appeared to be wearing a costume, like other audience members who had dressed up for the screening. Some believed that the gunman was playing a prank,[8] while others thought that he was part of a special effects installation set up for the film's premiere as a publicity stunt by the studio or theater management.[9]
It is also alleged that the gunmen threw a canister emitting a gas or smoke, partially obscuring the audience members' vision, making their throats and skin itch, and causing [color=red]eye irritation.[10] He then fired a 12-gauge Remington 870 Express Tactical shotgun, first at the ceiling and then at the audience. He also fired a Smith & Wesson M&P15[11] semi-automatic rifle with a 100-round drum magazine[/color], which malfunctioned after reportedly firing fewer than 30 rounds.[11][12][13] Finally, he fired a Glock 22 handgun.[14][15] He shot first to the back of the room, and then toward people in the aisles.[9] Some bullets passed through the wall and hit people in the adjacent theater 8, which was screening the same film.[2] Witnesses said the multiplex's fire alarm system began sounding soon after the attack began and staff told people in theater 8 to evacuate.[16] One witness said that she was hesitant to leave because someone yelled that there was someone shooting in the lobby and that they shouldn't leave.[17]
The first phone calls to emergency services via 9-1-1 were made at 12:39 a.m. Police arrived within 90 seconds[18] and found at least three .40-caliber magazines, a shotgun and a large drum magazine on the floor of the theater.[19] Some people reported the shooting via tweets or text messaging rather than calling the police.[12] Some of the first police on the scene decided not to wait for ambulances and took victims to hospitals in their squad cars.[20]
About 12:45 a.m., police apprehended Holmes[5] behind the cinema, next to his car, without resistance. According to two federal officials, he had dyed his hair red and called himself "the Joker", although authorities later declined to confirm this.[21][22] Three days later, at his first court appearance in Centennial, Colorado, Holmes had reddish-orange hair.[21][23][24] The officers found several firearms in the theater and inside the car, including another Glock 22 handgun.[25] Following his arrest, he was initially jailed at Arapahoe County Detention Center, under suicide watch.[26] The police interviewed more than 200 witnesses.[27] Investigators say that the shooter acted alone and was not part of a larger group or terrorist organization.[18]
Amen!
Lol I answered your question.......Wolf's Capture of Canada was not a Border War.
How about before the revolutionary war started?
Were the conditions somewhat the same as the loss of liberties that is ocurring nowadays???
Specifically the first, fourth, fifth, and tenth amendments?
IMHO opinion, I see a lot of similarities.
And a small note. We were not occupied back then. We were not a country yet. We were under the rule of the British Crown. Laws were mostly based on the Magna Carta to start, and then rights were gradually imposed on, and taxation increased.
Shermann
Is Autism too sensitive for this board? Wow!
My Kid won't shut up and sit down......he is mentally Ill......no it's the parents. I guess that hit close to home.
Nobody but Fox mentions this Asshole had fake Autism....made up disease!
We were occupied before.....French and Indian War.........
No just know about what I post about......a spoiled child is not Autistic!
Hey you post here back it up......... I deal with Autism everyday....it's become a punch line....now it's in the spotlight......being quirky doesn't mean you have Autism. In fact, that can't even figure out if this Asshole had Autism. You should be glad I'm not endorsing a blank Autism Blank Check for Autism.
Because were are now not occupied fighting for liberties........such as The Revolutionary War!
Be fair ....liberals own everything else.
Anybody ever notice....only boys act like this never girls? ie.......shootings!
Great post...... Makes too much sense....never pass! Idiots need too compensate for things by buying big guns.
I think you missed the point......why does an American Civilian need an assault rifle used by troops in war?
Autism is nonsense deal with it everyday filling out forms for a parents wanting a check.
This Gun is a beast developed for the Miltary in harsh conditions......not Home Defense!
The main advantages of the Kalashnikov rifle are its simple design, fairly compact size, and adaptation to mass production. It is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to clean and maintain. Its ruggedness and reliability are legendary.[36] The AK-47 was initially designed for ease of operation and repair by glove-wearing Soviet soldiers in Arctic conditions. The large gas piston, generous clearances between moving parts, and tapered cartridge case design allow the gun to endure large amounts of foreign matter and fouling without failing to cycle. This reliability comes at the cost of accuracy, as the looser tolerances do not allow for precision and consistency[citation needed]. Reflecting Soviet infantry doctrine of its time, the rifle is meant to be part of massed infantry fire, not long range engagements.
“There are scores of variants of Kalashnikov assault rifles made in dozens of countries, far too numerous to address here. They all owe their roots to Mikhail Kalashnikov. Many are clones of varying quality ranging from finely engineered weapons to pieces of questionable workmanship.” [37] As a result, the AK-47 has a service life of approximately 6,000[38] to 15,000[39] rounds.
The bore and chamber, as well as the gas piston and the interior of the gas cylinder, are generally chromium-plated. This plating dramatically increases the life of these parts by resisting corrosion and wear. This is particularly important, as most military-production ammunition (and virtually all ammunition produced by the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact nations) during the 20th century contained potassium chlorate in the primers. On firing, this was converted to corrosive and hygroscopic potassium chloride which mandated frequent and thorough cleaning in order to prevent damage. Chrome plating of critical parts is now common on many modern military weapons.
The Law is flawed......people push the edge!
So like did you defend our constitution by serving our fine nation?
Easy....they shouldn't!
Pretty insensitive when that gunman suffering from "Autism" killed those kids.....don't you think?
God Damned Young People and Their “Disorders” Drive Me Crazy!
tags: Associative Ignorant Assclown Disorder, culture, humor, medicated teens, satire, teenage disorders, writing
The problem with young people today is that they all have “disorders.”
Back in my day, young people didn’t have “disorders.” When we got sick our illnesses were tangible damn it. Something you could see on an x-ray or confirm with a rectal thermometer. We got the grippe, scarlet fever or polio, not some airy-fairy pseudo-illness like “reactive attachment disorder” or “body dysmorphia.”
They pretty much have all the bases covered. Learning disorders, mood disorders, eating, anxiety and personality disorders – anything the young people can think up as an excuse for their snotty attitudes, lazy behavior and to keep them from having to go out and look for work.
It’s all a bunch of god damned malarkey as far as I’m concerned and gives me “pissed off old man syndrome.” They haven’t got anything wrong with them that couldn’t be fixed with a couple of electroshocks, a kick in the butt and few 12-hour shifts sorting entrails in an abattoir.
Seriously, what the Hell is “intermittent explosive disorder” anyway? To me it just sounds like a bad case of diarrhoea, a hot temper or both.
I don’t understand it. If one of the kids in my school behaved strangely we didn’t send them him off to a headshrinker and a pharmacologist for a label and a half dozen vials of pills – we just called him “Spaz”, lowered our expectations and moved on with life.
If I had ever come home and told my old mom that I couldn’t do my chores because I had “oppositional defiant disorder” and “Munchausen by proxy”, she would have beaten me bloody with a melon baller and been right to do so.
But, nowadays it seems that young people have to have some kind of personality disorder if they’re going to be “cool” and “hep.” It’s ridiculous. Last time I checked young people didn’t have personalities. They had bad attitudes and nerve and very little else.
If I had to diagnose, though, I’d have to say that young people today have a serious case of Associative Ignorant Assclown Disorder (AIAD). It’s an epidemic in fact so lock your doors, pull the shades and hide in the basement. Because based on what I’ve seen, there is no cure in sight.
They all have “disorders.” That’s the problem with young people today.
