The Gun debate sandbox

Thanks for the responses to my question. I will be doing some more research. Hunt will be in Northern NM. I will definitely practice but cant imagine hazarding a shot more than 200-300 yards. Thoughts on a guide? Necessary?

A game of Russian roulette ended with the death of a Southern California teenager, who shot himself in the head early Monday, authorities said.

The 17-year-old boy fatally shot himself inside an apartment in the West Carson community, an unincorporated area near Torrance, just after midnight, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

ATF wants to geld the citizenry

A Las Vegas woman who was shot to death in front of her home had gone looking for the man who, minutes earlier, had confronted her in a road-rage incident, police said Tuesday.

Tammy Meyers, 44, was giving her 15-year-old daughter a driving lesson Thursday night when she was involved in a confrontation with another driver. Police initially said Meyers and her daughter had gone home after the incident and were calling for help when a car pulled up and someone inside opened fire.

Police now say Meyers, after returning home, went searching for the other driver. She was joined by her 22-year-old son, who had a gun, police said in a news conference Tuesday. The pair drove around looking for a gray or silver sedan. Meyers and her son found the vehicle, police said, and followed it for a while before Meyers decided to go home.

Once home, a silver or gray sedan drove into their cul-de-sac, police said, and someone began shooting at them. Meyers' son returned fire, and the car sped off. Meyers was hit. She died two days later after being taken off life support, her family said.

If the guberment wants to 'geld the citizenry' they need only shutter McDonalds.

The Armed Citizen

Yawwwwwnnnn....

Ho hum, smack, smack, smack....

Yawwwnnn

One person is dead, another is in jail, and both would be sitting at home happily tonight if either of them hadn't been armed. These aren't anecdotes, they happen every day, at least ten times more often than anyone lawfully using a gun to defend themselves. Don't mind the evidence, stick to your principles, they're all you've got. Freedom ain't free, give me liberty at the cost of someone else's death, or 10,000 deaths.

So, what do you propose???

Stop manufacturing guns. Pretty simple, really.

And you can't legislate away stupidity
