I've frequently mentioned that Singapore, as an example, has laws to protect society while the U.S.has laws to protect the individual. John, you first mock the idea of laws; then you turn around and praise the strict laws and enforcement of Singapore. It's looking like you don't really have a rational point. You're just arguing to argue. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Really? Your gun laws don't work? Look at some comparative data: https://www.nationmaster.com/country.../Violent-crime No laws are perfect. But that doesn't mean laws are useless. It looks to me like Canada's gun laws are doing a pretty good job - or at least, way better than those of the U.S. Yup, make a law and everyrthing will come up roses... But Frank, if that is true why is it that Vermont, with it's nearly non existant gun laws has a murder by firearms rate of 1.3/100,000 while Washing D.C. with rather restrictive gun laws has a firearm murder rate of 18/100,000? Gun violence is not a one-variable problem, John. Yes, that makes it complicated. But that doesn't mean the problem shouldn't be addressed. -- - Frank Krygowski Frank, have you ever bothered to actually look up the statistics on "gun violence"? Most of it is from two sources - gang wars and suicides. Pointing out the EXTREMELY rare mass shooting by what turns out to inevitably be an insane person isn't getting you any points. |

tion, made in Do you suppose there might be some difference in lethality between the Henry's 22 caliber bullet and that of the AR-15? If not, I'm surprised that the military doesn't use Henry 22 rifles exclusively. They're pretty inexpensive. Think of the tax money to be saved! Why do you continuously make straw man arguments. A .22 long rifle is at LEAST as deadly as the .223 AR-15. The only difference is the range. A .22 LR pistol is the weapon of choice of assassins since it is relatively easy to mute. Why don't you invent an entirely unreal reality to make your arguments in? |

And I included a note (and labeling it so) that large magazines had been used on one of the first repeating rifles made in America, in 1860. But not 100 rounds -- or more. Looking at it from a Second Amendment standpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM3vlPPNFVM AR-15 variants are fun guns, but at some point, fun has to be balanced against public welfare -- kind of like we do with drinking and driving and basically everything else in the world. We even crack-down on religion at some point: https://www..cbsnews.com/news/oregon...healing-trial/ -- Jay Beattie. Funny how it didn't matter when that gunman shot up that Republican baseball game in DC with an AR-15. At that point the Democrats suddenly saw "assault weapons with large capacity magazines" to be a good idea. Steve Scalise survived to live another day and he isn't writing anti-gun legislation because of a crazy man. |

Sheesh. ..22LR vs .223 has had more study than you might think: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/22...ginners-guide/ That's opinion. How about data? If you wade through the famous FBI paper, they cover a lot of variables. excerpts: "With the exceptions of hits to the brain or upper spinal cord, the concept of reliable and reproducible immediate incapacitation of the human target by gunshot wounds to the torso is a myth.27 The human target is a complex and durable one." "A bullet simply cannot knock a man down. If it had the energy to do so, then equal energy would be applied against the shooter and he too would be knocked down." gundata.org/images/fbi-handgun-ballistics.pdf An experienced MD says: "I have seen a .22 caliber bullet completely incapacitate someone and a .45 ACP fail to achieve that result. People and animals shot with 10mm rounds and .357 SIG rounds have continued to run from the police. I have been on scene as a tactical medical provider when a suicidal person shot himself in the head with a .45 Colt round resulting in instant death. And I have seen the same results in suicides that used smaller calibers, including .22, .25, and .32. I have also seen people hit with 9mm, .40, and .45 without so much as staggering or slowing their verbal or physical activities." https://www.policemag.com/340890/sto...-and-realities -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
