Now You Can Buy A Bulletproof Blanket Specifically Made For Kids To Use During School Shootings

That should work. But what if bad kids buy them too?
Perhaps this is the answer, everyone in USA wears 24/7 bulletproof clothes. Drives bulletproof cars. Lives in bulletproof houses.
Wearing constraining clothes, huddling with your family in a cramped bunker and always driving with the bullet-proof windows up: that's the sweet taste liberty. I just put one 'bullet-proof yellow slicker' on my Christmas list. It's gonna be a hard rain.
Constraining clothes - now you are talking my language
Happy Holiday Season
That's Nevada assembly woman Michelle Flore and her family. She nuts for guns. We supports concealed carry on college campuses, grades schools and day care centers. She supported Cliven Bundy and is herself under investigation by the IRS. She DOES support same sex marriage and the legalization of marijuana. On the other hand she's for lifting FDA bans on treatments sought by terminally ill patients. When asked why she didn't signed the bill to keep Syrian refugees out of Nevada she said, "The Syran Refugees. I'm like, What–are you kidding me? I’m about to fly to Paris and shoot ‘em in the head myself! I am not OK with Syrian refugees. I’m not OK with terrorists. I’m OK with putting them down, blacking them out, just put a piece of brass in their nocular cavity and end their miserable life."
(Not sure what a 'nocular' cavity is).
imagine the republican reaction if the family was black or arab

The problem is that some on the right do not believe that there is a conflict between individual rights and collective welfare. In other words, they think the second amendment empowers the individual and also improves public safety. In my view, this goes against all empirical evidence and also common sense.Quote:

We have all sorts of limits on people's fundamental rights. People have a right to choose alternative treatments and to have autonomy when it comes to choosing medical treatment; however sometimes the fda steps in and decides that a treatment is so unlikely to have benefit that it does not warrant approval. How did we get to the point where the right to own a gun became more powerful than a person's medical autonomy?
I am not saying there is no genuine reason to defend someone's right to own a gun, just that it does not warrant the priority it is given.
Well...natural selection will alleviate the problem in that family anyway...due to some inbreeding, they'll probably thin out they're own herd in the future...perhaps from some accidental discharges.
...In all seriousness, I think that there are some cases where owning a weapon is warranted...but I believe that in those cases people really do treat their guns like a dangerous but necessary tool and don't feel the need to pose with them in pictures...
that's as stupid as posting pictures of ones cock.
that's a very good point.Quote:

I dare you to read this story and not be infuriated. After hearing her comments I wish she had gotten real jail time.
Since when is the death the penalty for shoplifting. I don't need Tatiana's kind of help; nobody does. Why didn't Michigan's licensing procedures for concealed carry filter out this asshole? Why the fuck do we have concealed carry for the general public?
Apparently she was shooting at the tires...which is crazy reckless....but she does look crazy.

In the last 10 years, in the US, over 400 thousand Americans have been killed by guns. Total killed by terrorism, including overseas 3,380.
I'm not certain about the figures, but I have a 3 point plan to globally tackle this evil menace.
1 Build wall around the USA to stop Americans going anywhere to shoot people
2 Prevent any American, on grounds of nationality, entering any other country. All overseas visitors will be "Asked do you like Mum's Apple Pie?" I they say "Yes", they will be deported to the USA.
3 Until we work out what the fuck is happening, we will cut USA loose from the internet - this will adversely affect bible-thumping preachers, un-intelligent design fanatics and most porn - but it will be a price worth paying. We will get all those good people in Russia to help us.
That's going to be a HUGE wall...HUGE. But the best part of the plan is: 'Murica's going to pay for it.
About two thirds of that figure covers suicide though.Quote:

People have different opinions on suicide...regardless of whether or not guns make it easier.
I see your point. Yet an available gun in the household makes suicide a likelier choice than it would be otherwise. A depressed teen choosing on the spur of the moment to shoot himself because of some childish thing he'd laugh about a decade hence is not a real option, certainly not an choice informed by a rational maturity. For that matter, anyone who decides in a moment of depression to shoot themselves is not thinking clearly. The 'option' they see before them in that firearm, is not a viable option. Moreover, the violence is not limited to the victim but directed at his family and loved ones.
I have no problem including suicide by a gun with the statistics on gun violence.
I know Trish. I certainly see your point, especially given that suicide is most prevalent amongst teenagers, with firearms being the most common choice....and due to hormones and stress, teenagers always see everything as the end of the world without any hope.
Availability does make suicide easier...and in some of the examples you gave (maybe even in the majority of cases sited ) things may have turned out different...perhaps better, had there not been a gun there (or alcohol and drugs plus a gun).
But there are times (rare though that they may seem) where suicide is a rational, personal choice. Some people choose suicide over a remaining lifetime of physical pain; some over a remaining lifetime of mental pain that , at that particular moment, there is no reasonable hope of a cure for...and in those particular cases a gun may be the best solution given.
It's certainly a better option than setting a fire or jumping in front of a train or moving vehicle and victimizing another person...or trying to get someone else to do it (i.e. suicide by cop...which doesn't always involve a firearm).
I think the statistic should be sited, especially so folks might think twice about having a firearm in the house with kids or teenagers...especially when they already appear to be obviously disturbed (I'm looking at you Nancy Lanza...well..you know).
Anyway, I'm not disagreeing with you over all...
...just that, if it's going to be compared to other types of violence for the sake of an attention getting soundbite...I think it should be clarified.
If only the nation had gun laws like in New York.
NYS or NYC ?Quote:

The intersection of freedom of speech, human decency, tenure, and insane delusions. The government wants to take their guns away by staging deaths!
Glad to see this fucker pay for spreading pain and lies.Quote:

http://www.snopes.com/images/green.gifTrue
WHAT'S TRUE: Broad counts indicate that 21 toddlers shot and killed themselves or others in 2015; 19 Americans died at the hands of potential or suspected Islamic terrorists.
WHAT'S Undetermined: What constitutes a "toddler," a "foreign terrorist," and which criteria counted toward attaining those totals.
At this point the manufacturer's have won. To many people,politicians, agree with them in the US. I'd move out if I was you. Seriously. A mass shooting every few days, and daily shooting every few (minutes /seconds)! How can anyone do anything in that kind of environment? I thought the tipping point would have been when the little children were shot , but NO! Nothing happened! That's seriously fucked up, as someone from outside the US , I can say that's really not right. Any sane person should get out of that shit ASAP. On a minor note, I also see this as rift between the Left and Right , it's getting to big.
.....
Just my humble opinion
Attachment 903493
So Obama is going to bypass Congress and attempt:
- All sellers must be licensed and conduct background checks, overturning current exemptions to some online and gun show sellers
- States must provide information on people disqualified due to mental illness or domestic violence
- FBI will increase workforce processing background checks by 50%, hiring more than 230 new examiners
- Congress will be asked to invest $500m (£339m) to improve access to mental healthcare
- The departments of defence, justice and homeland security will explore "smart gun technology" to improve gun safety
Now how could anyone object? But they will
Good points, but let me anticipate the considered response of the pro-gun lobby.
• That’s Big Government trying to regulate a private market.
• That’s Big Government spying on innocent citizens.
• That’s an expansion to even Bigger Government.
• That’s just giving our hard earned tax dollars to freeloading retards. Besides, I don’t believe in taxes.
• My gun’s already smarter than I am. It went off last evenin’ whiles I were cleanin’ it, befored I figer’d out it were tryin’ ta tell me I’da already cleaned it in der afternoon.
To be expected - such reasonable people
The fact that anyone could support Obama's executive action regarding firearms shows a complete lack of respect for the government process. Setting a precedence of using executive action to bypass the legislative branch is a dangerous and slippery slope. We've seen it to disastrous results in the past, including Executive Order 9066.
What else can he do against the gun lobby, NRA and GOP?
Read some of the arguments below
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/01/op...n-control-2015
He is dealing with the Congress, that has pass the least bills in history, according to my understanding. So if the executive action that bad, they should get together and pass new legislation. Then there would be a public record of who approves and who does not. They say the majority of the public approves some type of stricter regulations. American society is expanding the amount of places people can carry guns, legally, so with this, I say why not add increased accountability.Quote:

Ted Nugent and the pro-gun movement at their classiest. It's difficult to have a discussion about gun control when maniacs control the debate with this kind of unhinged scapegoating. Even if you take away the anti-Jewish element, you still have a completely illogical discussion about gun-grabbers, people who hate freedom et al. You cannot get anywhere if you are unwilling to even fairly characterize your opponent's position.
