How do you feel about the 20 kids between 5 and 10 who died today? Or are you so wrapped up in your own venomous froth to even have an opinion on this incident?
Please folks. Please beat your drums a little quieter.
ABC news just aired a poll that says more than half of America favor stricter gun laws.
I know, I know. Fuck everybody, right? Just keep the Mexicans from invading Texas!

You take the statistical average and, as I said above, the vast majority of criminals WILL be stopped by .32s and .38s.
And while it is a tragedy that a wounded criminal will go on to wound or kill his victim because the first shot did not stop them, that is a SMALL number and it has to be weighed against the number of victims who will survive a gunshot because they were shot with a .38 and not a .45.
Don't those numbers offset one another?
I wasn't taking about the M1911. I learned about the history of the .45 years ago in my own military training. The overstatement was your last sentence "the .38 cal will still not stop drugged-up, insensate burglars, rapists, thieves and murderers in the 21st century..."
That is clearly NOT true. It may not stop a small number, but most WILL be stopped - either dead or debilitated.

The owner had come out a few days ago to sternly tell me to stay off his property, which was a small patch of grass next to the road and no sidewalk. Seeing me yesterday, he became enraged and ran up to the fence and yelled at me that he would call the cops. I apologized politely and he kept yelling. I offered to stick around if he wanted to call the police and he screamed that he would shoot me next time. I reminded him it was illegal to discharge a firearm in city limits and that if he shot me or my dog, that he would be spending time in jail with his new boyfriend. I then went to the police station and filed an incident report. The cop who
took my report did not seem to feel that a report was necessary since I did not think I was in imminent danger. Well, nowadays if someone threatens to shoot I do think it is something to be taken seriously and I won't allow myself to be bullied by a nutcase with a vendetta. God bless all the victims of this latest horrific example of insanity meets guns. Originally Posted by cinderbella

The ear to the ground says it was lined up by gov. Don't know if it's US or UN, but something's wrong. This is all they need to push gun laws. Originally Posted by LovingKayla

If you aren't, why don't you shut your whore mouth and take your agenda elsewhere. Originally Posted by Lovely_Lilianna

It's funny you say you learned about the M1911, yet you deny that the .38 cal. it replaced was replaced because it wasn't killing or incapacitating Moros who were drugged-up and virtually unstoppable with a .38 cal. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Then there are the cases like Larry Eugene Phillips Jr., who was shot eleven times before he committed suicide, and his partner Emil Mătăsăreanu, who was shot twenty times before he was incapacitated, surrendered and bled out.

I will accept these kinds of ugly things that come with a free and open society. I don't like it. But it is the cost of being free. Originally Posted by WhirlawayWell, there you go. Whirly doesn't have a problem with it other than the fact that it is "ugly". Poor dumb fucker. Not your kids, right? Somebody ought to whip your ass.
You are a fucking disgrace, continuing to argue, fling insults, etc...Look who's talking and I don't mean just you. Now forgive me for my all out use of free speech, but this coming from the party that protects the right to kill the unborn and even demands it to be federally funded?
How do you feel about the 20 kids between 5 and 10 who died today? Or are you so wrapped up in your own venomous froth to even have an opinion on this incidentI feel terrible beyond words, but does that mean that I have to give up my right to protect me or my loved ones so that some kid who probably saw movies made by liberal Hollywood about the glorification of guns, killing, or played video games that starred many liberal activists who only saw it as a paycheck and not the message they were giving to young kids? Will Rosie O'Donnel let go of her armed guards while the rest of us remain un protected? Last time I checked I found my venomous froth count was zero.
Please folks. Please beat your drums a little quieter.Again, Who cares what ABC says this is a heat of the moment survey. More than half of America also voted for Obama, thanks to hurricane Sandy.
ABC news just aired a poll that says more than half of America favor stricter gun laws.
I know, I know. Fuck everybody, right? Just keep the Mexicans from invading Texas!No, I actually celebrate life and everyone right to enjoy it. No innocent one should have it taken away, whether they are six seconds old or six years old. I happen to be Mexican by the way, and I hate how Hollywood has portrayed my race, we're not a bunch of lazy, accented, gun toting banditos, who thrive in gangs and have no smarts.
You are disgraceful.
You can't read, can you, you illiterate fuck? See @: http://www.eccie.net/showpost.php?p=...9&postcount=23 Notice, there were no insults in that post, you illiterate fuck. Now go back and check who started the name calling, jackass -- that is if you can find a third-grader to do your reading for you!The nation is in mourning and you're ranting and raving like a lunatic. Throughout this thread.
