When we go to the grocery store, our cell phones won't call out.

 

Radio frequencies can be interferred with. Like, on purpose.

 

The next step, secretly to anti-gun goofs, is to outlaw all those old guns.

Which means, they'd have to be registered.

Then banned. Then spamming frequency units can be put into cars.

and homes. and schools. and driver's licenses. haha. who cares

if you are a rabid anti-gun nut.

Really? What is the reasoning behind that?

Not sure really. Some say tasers can be deadly, but like a knife, it is harder to kill someone with a taser than a gun. There have been reports of police officers abusing them. Some of them are quick to use them due to them being categorized as non-lethal and therefore have used them inappropriately.

Cysko, I've been hunted by a mountain lion once, in the dark.

 

And walked in WV once, right up within two feet of a 42 inch copperhead.

Lucky for my cousin and i, it had already been killed by a raccoon.

You should have seen our relatives' faces when

we took it back to the cabin, and we pretended it was quite alive as we held it.

Priceless.

 

Say, you try that. Go walking along the railroad tracks, right up to a 42" rattlesnake, or copperhead,

and decide if you'd rather have a toothpick, or a gun.

 

Had a bear step on our tent three times one night in central Ontario, way out in the wilderness.

No guns. I had my hunting knife. Say, you try facing down a bear like I did in N. Georgia one time,

and decide right as it comes at you, if you'd rather have a toothpick, or a gun. You decide.

 

You try it sometime. Spraying bear spray too early won't work. But shooting a warning shot into

a tree or bank, with. Or, you could just get your big old self ready, and stab that big ole bear

a whole bunch of times with a toothpick.

 

Actually, I'd love to go alligator hunting, at least once. Say, you come with me, and I'll have a gun,

and you can have a toothpick. We'll see what works. If you aren't sure, why, you just ask our guide.

 

Go and hawk gun and knife control for everybody else, flaming lib style. It's still a pretty free country, so far.

 

YOU should have to register all of your knives, and take a $$ class to

be able to carry one. Because you are a possible murderer with a knife, a menace,

because everybody knows that knives are created to do only two things - cut and kill.

I'm not against smart guns, sissy Cysko. I just won't use them.

 

Technology is fine. Smart guns are fine. But tech can work both ways,

which is a trojan horse for anti-gun people.

 

And that's a fact, jack.

 

My guns are just fine without your panty-waist attempt to

make millions of people constrained from being able to freely

exercize their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to BEARS ARMS.

 

haha.

 

Actually, if somebody chooses to buy them, I'm fine with that.

But 400 bucks? HAHAHAHAHAHA !

 

You go and pay 400 bucks for each knife in your home. Let us know how it goes, idiot.

 

I'm goin to buy an AR-15 this year, if I ever figure out which make and config I want.

The anti-gun stink has convinced me that it's a good idea to buy it now. Oh, boy !

Yeah cal as a scout and an airman I've spent my life in an office. Fool. A smart gun Is still a gun Seesekoe

******************************************************

Odd, I was a scout, and an airman, too. Say, that must mean you were hunted by a mountain lion then, eh?

Swam the New River after dark (yes, we wore life jackets) ?

Camped way, way out into the wilderness in Central Ontario?

Bear step on your tent?

Swim off the coast of Maui following a sea turtle?

 

nah. didn't think so. Okay, i admit that the sea turtle swim ended poorly, but at least

I made it back to shore without being eaten by a shark, but got badly sunburned..... I didn't realize that the current was helping me along, til I saw the ocean bottom disappear. You don't want to try that. Stupid mistake.

 

I don't blow smoke, Cysko. You try it sometime.

Oh shit, a "back in my day..." contest?!?

Back in my day, I had to walk to the kitchen for clean water, take the bus for 15 minutes to get to school and if I talked back to my father I'd have a conversation with my parents about why I was wrong.

A year after background check defeat, modest goals

A year after the Senate scuttled President Barack Obama’s drive for new firearms restrictions, congressional gun control supporters are significantly winnowing their 2014 legislative agenda.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic worries about this November's elections, a lack of Senate votes and House opposition are forcing congressional gun-control supporters to significantly winnow their 2014 agenda, a year after lawmakers scuttled President Barack Obama's effort to pass new curbs on firearms.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., recently said he needs additional votes before revisiting a proposed expansion of gun sale background checks that the Senate derailed last April. That has left advocates of tighter gun curbs hoping Reid will allow votes on more modest proposals, such as one by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., to add convicted stalkers to the list of criminals barred from acquiring guns.

But with Reid wary of exposing Democratic senators facing tight re-election contests in some conservative and Western states to politically risky votes — and the Republican-run House showing no appetite to restrict guns anyway — people aren't holding their breath waiting for proposed gun restrictions to reach the Senate floor before Election Day.

"This kind of change doesn't happen overnight," said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "There are obviously a lot of other considerations and variables in play here, like elections."

Klobuchar's bill on stalkers would play into Democrats' campaign-season theme of pushing legislation that appeals to women, a key Democratic voting bloc. She said Tuesday she has discussed her legislation with Reid but didn't ask about holding a vote because she's first trying to round up Republican support to make the measure bipartisan.

Democratic caution on the gun issue has been displayed several times recently, even as the December 2012 killings of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that fanned interest in firearms restrictions fade further into the past.

The September 2013 shooting deaths of 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard and this month's slaying of three people outside Jewish community centers in Overland Park, Kan., were greeted with no fresh Democratic legislative pushes. And in the face of National Rifle Association opposition last month, the White House paused its effort to push its surgeon general nominee through the Senate — Dr. Vivek Murthy, a Harvard Medical School physician, Obama political organizer and gun-control supporter.

"They're waiting for another tragedy to exploit," Chris Cox, the NRA's chief lobbyist, said of the Senate hiatus on gun activity. "The question is, do they want gun owners across this country to be more enraged this election cycle than they're already going to be?"

White House officials say they've not abandoned the issue. They cite 23 executive orders Obama issued last year, including restarting federal research on gun violence, plus additional steps like starting to close a loophole that let some felons get machine guns by registering them to trusts or corporations.

"We're just going to keep pushing until Congress does the right thing," presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett told gun-control activists last week.

As the issue has ebbed in Congress, it has accelerated in the states, where legislatures are debating hundreds of gun-related bills, some weakening and others strengthening restrictions.

Meanwhile, powerful groups are revving up for the fall elections.

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire and advocate of firearms curbs, plans to spend $50 million this year setting up a new group that will mix campaign contributions with field operations aimed at pulling gun-control voters to the polls.

The new organization, Everytown for Gun Safety, will focus on women, especially mothers, and work on state and federal elections, the group said Wednesday.

Bloomberg said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" that his group will reward candidates "who are protecting lives, and make sure that those who are trying to keep people from being protected lose elections."

Also planning campaign activity this year is Americans for Responsible Solutions, a gun-control group headed by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and her husband, ex-astronaut Mark Kelly. The group reported late Tuesday that its political committee has raised nearly $14.5 million since it was founded in January 2013, and it plans to spend its money on federal and state races, said spokesman Mark Prentice.

Giffords was severely wounded in a Jan. 8, 2011, shooting rampage that killed six people.

The National Rifle Association spent nearly $20 million on federal campaign activity in 2012 races. Its true strength is viewed as its claimed 5 million members, many of whom consider gun issues strongly when voting.

One area where fights over gun policy seem likely is in the annual bills Congress must pass to finance federal agencies.

Those bills traditionally contain more than a dozen longstanding, gun-related provisions. These include language making it easier to import antique guns and harder for the government to get gun-tracing information from licensed firearms dealers.

When lawmakers consider those spending measures, Republicans could try blocking requirements that gun dealers in states bordering Mexico report multiple purchases of shotguns or rifles to one buyer, an effort the Democratic-led Senate thwarted last year. Democrats could try requiring dealers to conduct annual inventories and report the results to the government.

A year ago, Reid fell five votes short of the 60 needed to bust a GOP procedural blockade against the background check measure. He and others have said they've not yet lined up any additional votes.

Also defeated were Democratic efforts to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, tools used by some assailants in recent mass shootings.

The background check provision, written by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., would have required such checks for all commercial firearms purchases at gun shows and online. Currently, background checks — aimed at preventing criminals and the mentally ill from acquiring weapons — are required only for sales handled by licensed federal gun dealers.

In a sign of how times change, Toomey and Manchin are working again this year on background check legislation — aimed this time at making sure teachers and others who work with children are not sexual predators.

You don't have to be a thug to be big and strong. And In any case you're making the incorrect assumption that a smart gun wouldn't work as well.[/quot]

 

really? You mean those outlaws who refuse to use government approved safe guns no matter what the law says aren't

thugs?

Nice. Did you repel the blades with brawn? Or just slip through like a ninja?

Well, if you have enough mass, you can warp the spacetime continuum, like Neo in the matrix, kinda. So I went to an all you can eat ribs before doing it.

I won't add any more potential failure points to a device that already has a potential for failure. No amount of bitching will change that. Sell it to someone who frets about safety. They can buy it.

The question is whether or not you'll have the option to refuse it in the future. I'll advocate no.
