Who uses time bombs for home defense? I disengaged the timer on mine and replaced it with a remote detonator. That way we can repel out the second story window and then pull the trigger. Kinda works like my gun. Nothing happens until I pull the trigger.
Having a bathtub, any medication, razor, knife, rope, swimming pool, or car with a garage is like bringing a time bomb into your house. They are more likely to kill you then do anything useful….really??
Focusing on what someone can use to commit suicide and ignoring the person and their problems is a great way to ensure they will kill themselves.
Suicide rates can be lowered by getting rid of gun control proponents which are distracting us from the real problems.
Well, sort of. But it’s not just gun control advocates fiddling the data to get it to say what they want.
Women attempt suicide more often than men. But they often don’t succeed because they usually use less-lethal means that offer them time to reconsider, e.g. drug overdose.
Though men attempt suicide less often, about four in five completed suicides are men. Often, men use guns to kill themselves, and you are correct that they will generally go to significant effort to use the most lethal means available. They are also more likely to try again after a first attempt.
This fact is often downplayed by people with an axe to grind, or funding to secure.
Hey, remember the statistic : People who own guns are 99 times more likely to use a gun for suicide than people without guns.
How about: 100% of people who really want to commit suicide will use the easiest method.

Cory booker on guns. No pascal he is no moderate.

Literature also suggests that passing asteroids will reanimate the dead, turning them into zombies. Literature is kinda like the internet, just because someone wrote it down doesn’t mean it’s true.
Nick, the paperwork is on the way, they are still applying annoying little popups to the bottom of each page, if you know what I mean….;^)
I saw “via nytimes.com” as the source. That told me all I needed to know.
We have to understand that for liberals, it’s all about projection. That is – they project their own self-absorbed, childish & unfiltered behaviors as “well if this is how I act then how could anyone else be any different.”
For them a gun WILL kill their family members. Because they lack the ability to control their own anger they know if they possessed a gun they might use it one someone in anger. They are self loathing and full of hate for themselves – they think that if they had a gun they might shoot themselves. To a liberal these thoughts exist within everyone and that is why they believe firearms are so evil.
Wow. Is it me, or are the gun grabbers getting dumber?
I think the error is trying to do the right thing and update an ongoing renewal, then letting them know of a move, then again trying to get them caught up.
Best COA would have been to send a fresh application, without any reference to the prior one, once you got to Texas. Nowhere does it say that you have to renew before it lapses. You can get a license, do your 3 years, let it lapse, no requirement to keep that bound book (IIRC). Then apply for a new license, open a new, fresh bound book, and start faxing your new FFL which under normal circumstances takes about a month.
It funny that your first post on dealing with the ATF, you mention Kevin Mitnick. Guys like Mitnick are going to be our mainline of defense against tyranny and our new heroes if the 2A gets destroyed. I don’t have that guy’s skills,.. but now I’m wishing I did.
I’d be mad at his back paddling if he made his comment as a private citizen but as a CEO of a major business I understand and more importantly – he understands to keep his feelings and opinions in check. His obligations to the company must supersede his personal feelings on 2A. Too bad there are many others that choose to do it differently and that leads to the greater polarization…
“The literature suggests that having a
gunautomobile in yourhomedriveway toprotecttransport your family is like bringing a time bomb into your house. Instead ofprotectingtransporting you, it’s more likely to blow up.” –Dr. Mark Rosenberg in To Reduce Suicide Rates, New Focus Turns to GunsTexanHawk in To Reduce Motor Vehicle Death Rates, New Focus Turns to Removing Motors [via census.gov]There were 10,800,000 motor vehicle accidents in the US in 2009 resulting in 35,900 fatalities Dr. Rosenberg. Perhaps cars are the problem… no perhaps driver inattention, poor driver training and a disregard for safety rules are truly to blame.

I have always wondered why the gun grabbers are so concerned about suicide by gun. I thought they are generally pro-choice so why are they against this particular personal choice? I guess that they are only cool about choice when a third party deals death. I really think they object to suicide because the individual is taking control of something reserved for the state.
Gun

GOCRA? really? they should come up with a better acronym.
The latest scientific research concludes that having a gun in the house increases the risks for:
obesity
cancer
alzheimers
watching Cable TV
playing board games
drinking grape juice
eating meat
eating vegetables
eating pasta
hair loss
telephone calls
using soap
wearing glasses
and even drinking coffee
So why was she allowed to speak? Anyone one else on the committee could say she broke the rules. There should a mile high drift of email to condemn this.
I can’t believe another satire-filled reply has been swallowed by the web filter.
Mr. Skelton fails to realize that a guarantee of success is irrelevant to a group desperate enough to take up arms in resistance of tyranny. His advice to the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto would have been to get in the cattle cars. While I greatly disagree with his theat evaluation of a mass uprising by even a tiny handful of gun owners (something in the neighborhood of 100,000 men or so), the evaluation is irrelevant. There are times when tyranny becomes so pervasive and so intollerable that a quixotic attempt to usurp that tyranny is preferable to continued life under it. The second amendment guarantees is the right to the tools we would need to make the attempt.
The fact that he is okay about the govt always winning is beyond scary. However, we wonder why people refer to us as nuts. It is because we (gun owners as a whole) are misrepresented by those of us that make Dorner a hero. Pathetic writer. Pathetic responses
If Bloomberg or BHO don’t want someone that is reason enough to vote for them.
Dorner’s skills were highly under rated. He sealed his own doom when he holed up in the cabin. If he had been prepared to live rough and keep moving he might have lasted for years.
IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH THE AUTO PLAY VIDEO ADVERTISMENTS IN THE RIGHT HAND COLUMN? I am…:)
I do hope they make a T-shirt on their way out the door with:

COLORADOI’d buy two…
That was very informative. Not a deal breaker by any means, a Glock is a mechanical device made by man and by that logic alone is not perfect. Moral of the story learn you gear and practice with it.
