jasJis Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 I specially made my own bedroom door out of 1" solid oak, with diamond plating on both sides. Three deadbolts, not counting the regular door lock. I have a 6" knife under my pillow and a shotgun by my bed. And my dog sleeps in the room beside me. Dude, You have more issues than the paper boy.
ReformationNow Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Dude, You have more issues than the paper boy. LOL! There is more crime in my neighborhood than in alot of others in the area. I live across the street from drug dealers. But nobody, and I mean nobody, messes with me.
Azriel Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 [hijack] anybody else think that Don knows way more about crossbows than someone in the 21st century really should?????[/hijack] (by the way, that was a joke. Really. No. I mean it. Ya know I love ya Boo)
jasJis Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 LOL! There is more crime in my neighborhood than in alot of others in the area. I live across the street from drug dealers. But nobody, and I mean nobody, messes with me. I'm totally serious. I used to live across the street from armoured car robbers. I could tell you stories that would freak you out. Wells Fargo sent an investigator to us and asked if he could use our yard and house for survellience. The guy who lived there had a wife and kids. A few days after he got arrested, his house kept getting broken into. I'm talking kick the door in, people with guns and stuff and it wasn't the police. A lot more stuff than that happened. What if they made a mistake and broke in my house. What if they thought nobody had guns. Would they be more brazen?
Winchester Posted July 25, 2003 Author Posted July 25, 2003 Don, that is statistically improbabl, I urge you to reassess that you were either armed, or not actually shot at.
Don John of Austria Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 (edited) Well they were pointing this things at me and bullets came out of them and I didn't have a gun, hmmmmm... well one of the times I was working on my yard, I had a shovel so I guess that might count as being armed. Lets see, I may have had my pocket knife once but it was in my pocket still that may count as armed, but the first time I was shot at i definantly had no weapons of any kind, I just was foolishly trying to help a women in a fight in a parking lot. silly me. so if a shovel counts as armed then yes once, the pocket knife maybe but definantly not the first time. What can I say I am a statistical weirdo. You remember that time when we were driving home and then that group of guys started chaseing us and waveing the pistol around trying to get a clear shot while you speed through residential streets with no lights on trying to escape them, wasn't it so nice that we didn't have a gun and you had to prepare to play chicken when we pulled down the dead end road. didn't that feel so much better than when the guy did the same thing years later and I pulled out the rifle and he sped off to who knows where rather than trying to kill us. I mean resigning yourself to a head on collision is so much better than just being able to defend yourself isn't it. Edited July 25, 2003 by Don John of Austria
littleflower+JMJ Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 that must have been so scary though.... :blink:
IcePrincessKRS Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 that must have been so scary though.... Yeah, I'm sure it was... I meant the degree of sarcasm and humor those two always exhibit. I love it. :blink:

Winchester Posted July 26, 2003 Author Posted July 26, 2003 Don, No, I now have revised my memory according to the wisdom of statisticians, who obviously define reality much more than living human reason. I must insist that you conform to reality as it has been sanely defined by collected numbers. However you choose to imagine the form of a .2 child is left to you, as statisticians have obviously left off with anything resembling imagination.
_bc Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Oh, and bc, lighten up. It doesn't seem like you're having much fun around these parts. Ah, true insight. Actually, virtually every time I come to this board it's because I'm thinking about something having more directly to do with Catholicism - as opposed to politics - and then I end up reading these replies and getting too annoyed to start a thread about something that really matters. But at least I'm happy to see that nobody seems to be offering arguments against those in my last post, which I take to imply that none of you have any. ("I'm paranoid, have many guns and live in a crappy neighborhood" or "I think it's cool to claim to be prepared to kill people" is not an argument against gun control.) Don's story about being chased and shot at by armed madmen just confirms my point that lack of gun control leads to an arms race among normally peaceful people. So next time I log on, I might even keep my calm long enough to post something on a real topic.
Don John of Austria Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 _bc's a women? Bc you didn't put forth any arguements in your last post you made assertions, that is not the same thing, assertions which have been Challenged and you have made no reponse too, so when you would like to make an arguement I will nbe happy to respond to it however you have yet to respond to any of our arguements( such as having the right to defend yourself regardless of utilitarian issues) so I really am not worried. Oh and agian your source didn't say anything about howmany households in Switzerland had Guins furthermore you failed to respond to the issue of mexico and stabings..... We are still waiting.
Winchester Posted July 29, 2003 Author Posted July 29, 2003 Oh, and one last thing, since when did armed peaceful people become such a concern? Sounds to me like you have never been in a situation where your life was threatened. I'd be willing to bet that if some rapist was having their way with you that you'd change your tune pretty quickly. That's a bit offsides. Especially if you believe your opponent a woman. I disagree with bc, too, but I know people who believe in gun control but have been on the wrong end of a weapon. bc: 1. Are guns of themselves morally evil? 2. Who has a right to what type of gun?
Chucho Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 Here's a powder keg issue. didn't that feel so much better than when the guy did the same thing years later and I pulled out the rifle and he sped off to who knows where rather than trying to kill us. You guys are so cool... I'm with you Princess. You guys are great. All y'alls are great.
jasJis Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 _bc, I hope I don't diminish the impact of your thread, I'd like to see Don John answer your questions (except the purerile one. I don't think you're serious. lol). Yes. In a perfect society with everyone behaving. Gun ownership would be pointless. In a society where guns are not already plentifully available, gun restrictions would make sense. My point is from a practical point of view is that guns are already so abundant in society, there are no practical means of removing them from the bad element in society. Additionally, gun laws would only be followed by the already law abiding. Real gun control by would have to start with tremendous punative penalties for crimes committed with guns. Like a mandatory 25 year sentence with no chance of parol. As it is now, you can get away with less than a year in jail. In Florida, Gov.Bush pushed a 10/25/Life law. I think itsan automatic 10 years for a crime committed with a gun, 25 years if the gun was discharged, and automatic Life if someone was hurt or killed. (It may be life only if someone is killed). Now that's the begining of real gun control.
