Maryland lawmakers make gun control a session priority

[Tech]

That's pretty good aim.

Not really, killed a two year old waiting to enter a restaurant inside mall door. Got two more on the promenade. She had stabbed her mental health consular the year before, was on that EMS call.

Considering how many of those have been indoctrinated in the public school system, there are probably a fair number that would.

They are too scared and lazy. Much rather loot and steal when society collapses.

I wouldnt think killing shots are easy with a .22 was what I was saying.

Read the "Home" series of books by A. American. Very interesting "predictions" in there about how government agencies and the military might react after the SHTF.

I am happy for people to have access to muskets and flintlock pistols (or the updated equivalent) because it just seems crazy that anyone can get a weapon capable of killing masses of people and it should be harder to get those more advanced weapons. People should NOT have that much firepower available which has ruined the lives of SO MANY FAMILIES as a sacrifice so we can be armed.

I'd rather be killed by a modern day weapon. The stories of people dying slow, painful, horrible deaths from a non-lethal hole ripped into you, a lead ball that slowly gave you lead poisoning because it couldn't be removed, and sepsis from the wound with no antibiotics.

And many were far larger in diameter.

.58, .60, .65 and .75 come to mind. up to twice the size of the 9mm that Biden swears is a Lung Remover!

Guess you arn't aware of the 200,000 plus registered machineguns available in most of America that just dont cause any problems at all.
About 54% of firearm deaths are suicides.


2020 deaths

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:​

• Heart disease: 696,962
• Cancer: 602,350
• COVID-19: 350,831
• Accidents (unintentional injuries): 200,955
• Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 160,264

There are better hills to die on than those horrible firearms.

don't even go there - not hardly, as no one was capable of killing many people in SECONDS with a musket or a flintlock pistol!

Ahhhh. Your vast knowledge of history is lacking.
Read a bit and get back to us.

350k from the Rona?

That can't be right. Democrats swore Millions of Americans were Dying of the Rona. Millions.

At least he didn't have a gun.

In Jesus's time he carried a staff to be armed,
He tossed chairs and tables on occasion.
Today, Jesus depending upon the state he was in he would be Red Flagged and his staff taken away.
In todays time Jesus would carry a 9mm pistol.

Hopefully before im dead I get to carry a Phaser.

That is entirely untrue, as pointed out to you multiple times already. Automatic firearms are almost never, ever used in the commission of a crime. Any crime. Not since the days of Al Capone anyway.

And no indeed...living free is quite the opposite of sacrificing basic rights for some misguided groupthink.

HERE is where you will find lots of automatic firearms. In the hands of the collectors and enthusiasts that can afford them, being enjoyed by hundreds of folks at a great family-friendly weekend event.

Now I miss Mike Dillon and Ken Lomont.

You are right as I just looked it up, and automatic weapons are not the weapon of choice by most killers. There has to be a way to get a handle on these killings and mass shootings, and if we all just pick a side and argue it'll never be solved. What do the pro-gun folks say is the better way to approach this problem? I have always felt that we do not address mental health adequately in this Country, and therein could could be the answer we need?

I still don't think people need access to automatic weapons but as Gilligan pointed out those are not the weapons people are using most of the time.

It would be a start.

In the past, balance of power was a deterrent. You get a gun, I get a gun. You get a bigger gun, I get a bigger gun. Countries have been using that strategy forever.

^There have been 2 instances of a legally owned fully automatic firearm being used to commit a murder since 1934. One of them was a police officer who killed his partner.

after I saw Gilligan's post I looked it up and it's true - it's handguns that are doing most of the dirty work. I still don't like automatic weapons being easily available, never will. When I did my firearms training with John Pepper back in the 90's (He invented the Pepper Pop-up Target in 1978) after we completed the safety session he had me fire a 22 revolver first then took me though firing each next level in firepower until we got to the Glock 45 I brought there with me. After that he had me fire a shotgun OMG I almost fell backward on my behind because I only weighed 106 lbs at the time at 5' tall. I was properly trained on evasive tactics and how to defend myself if cornered. I'd love to repeat that training again but at my age I can't crawl around on the ground with ease like I used to LOL

That and good people outnumbering the bad people on a regular basis.

well I can't do a lot of fighting back with a 380 as it's about as big as my hand can handle
