Re: Gun Control
I think somewhere in this thread, it was mentioned that the people have the right to have the same weapons as the military. Can someone reference data that shows citizens owning cannons throughout the 1800's.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

Re: Gun Control
Well there fixthecopier dude. I said I sometimes go to mountain man gun shoots , yes they shoot cannons. It is legal.
But the 2A means rifles and handguns. Yes AR-15 rifles . But nukes and bazookas and rocket lanchers , hand grenades ?
That's crazy BS.
fixthecopier dude, do you really fix copiers. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands.Comment

Re: Gun Control
To be clear, my reference was to the very current argument being made by gun advocates, that people should be able to own the same stuff as the military, in case they have to overthrow a tyrant. I will find articles if you want me too. I did not ask you if you could fire a cannon. I know I am typing in English, it must be coming across as Chinese.
SO, based on the question I ask, and the answer you gave, you are saying that it is legal to buy a large piece of field artillery and keep it at my house???? I bet if I checked with local authorities, I could call bullshit on that.
As for your question, last year I completed 915 copiers under contract, paid calls were 63 printers , 37 shredders, 12 plotters and 8 digital senders. I also sold some shit. My best year I completed a little over 1300, but I had another contract I don't have now. Thanks for asking
As for time, I hope you don't think i spend a lot of time doing this on this site. I spend most of my online time on sites that have news and information.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

Re: Gun Control
Hey there fixthecopier guy. You asked a question about a canon. Not field artillery. I can own a civil war canon and load it with black powder and shoot it. YOU said canon. I said yes you can own a canon. I can read English. The 2A gives you and I the right to keep and bear arms. Rifles and handguns. That's about it IMHO. You might not like a AR-15 but that is a legel rifle. I bet most of your buddies on the base you work with agree. I think you mentioned you work on a military base. ?Anyway don't get all worked up. .Comment

Draft Dodging is a non-issue - too many people protested against the war, and are now calling Nugent a draft dodger. Don't join the hypocrites.

Re: Gun Control
President Obama recognizes that the votes probably aren't there to pass any significant gun legislation through Congress.
The basis of the whole gun debate in the United States is the belief by millions of Americans that they need a firearm in the home to protect themselves from criminals. Unfortunately, if those guns are not properly stowed or locked away they pose as much risk to the everyday residents of that household as any potential intruder.
What about smart gun technology, whereby only the registered user(s) of a firearm could make the weapon fire?
Smart Gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At least one major seller of smart gun technology admits potential fallibility of the technology. IGun Technology Corporation say on their website that "No mechanical or electrical device is capable of 100% reliability....Personalized guns offer advantages to some people and disadvantages to others.
A current prototype personalized gun relies on biometric sensors in the grip and trigger that can track a gun owner’s hand size, strength, and Dynamic grip style also known as (DGR) Dynamic Grip Recognition. The gun is programmed to recognize only the owner or anyone whom the owner wishes to authorize. One of the major projects involves the New Jersey Institute of Technology team, which claims the prototype identifies gun owners with 90% accuracy.
The smart gun is supposed to:
- Reduce the likelihood of unintentional injuries to children
- Preventing teenage suicides and homicides.
- Limit the violent acts committed by criminals using stolen guns.
- Protect law enforcement officers from criminals grabbing their firearms during a struggle.
Vice President Joe Biden says he's interested in technology that would keep a gun from being fired by anyone other than the person who bought it.
In 2009, the German legislature passed a technology waiting law that would eventually require all German manufacturers of weapons to only make smart weapons, once an acceptable technology existed anywhere in the world. In addition, the German law would require the retrofitting of all existing German weapons with smart gun technology. Should other European countries follow suit with similar legislation, some of the world's most advanced weaponry will be required to incorporate smart gun technology, in affect ensuring that some of the hand guns used at Aurora and Newtown, like Glock and Sig Sauer, would only be able to be fired by authorized users.
The USA has comprehensive safety standards for every consumer product, from children's cribs to lawnmowers, except for the most dangerous consumer product of them all.Last edited by SalesServiceGuy; 02-18-2013, 07:06 PM.Comment
