    I think you're misunderstanding me... I'm not referring to the individual preferences of the People, I'm talking about the individual preferences of the Legislature.

        How does hugging someone from behind cause a holstered firearm to discharge and at such an angle that it kills the person doing the hugging?

          Scientists discover that no matter how many guns you own, your penis will remain small and insignificant

          January 14, 2011 by William K. Wolfrum






          SWEDEN – After a full decade of research, a team of Swedish scientists has confirmed that no matter how many guns a man owns, his penis will remain small and insignificant.


          “Ve look at ze mens wit ze guns and ve look at ze penis of zeese mens,” said Dr. Sven Svenenberg of the Svenlandia Institute. “Itz veery zad. Ze penis is so wee.”


          The research looked at 300 average American men who owned multiple guns. Those 300 were then weighed, measure, and found wanting. Following that, the men were then encouraged to buy even more guns over the next year. They were then were then weighed and measured again, and found wanting even more.


          “Ze penis iz so wee, still,” said Dr. Svenenberg in an accent that no one could really identify. “Iz almozt of no uze. Like a wee pinkie toe.”

          American scientist Tim Johnson said the research proved what has long been suspected – that owning guns for hunting and self-protection is generally a lie and that most men buy guns because they feel it will be an extension of their manhood.


          “We’ve known this all along. We call it the ‘Glenn Beck Effect,’” said Johnson from his home office in Tupelo, Miss. “Not long ago, a Wikileaks document emerged showing a naked picture of Beck. Dude’s hung like a pimple on a pimple. Then all of a sudden you start seeing the guy show up holding guns.”

          Still, some have called the research misleading. Ron Schmeits, President of the NRA said that the problem was that the men in the research sample were not encouraged to buy enough guns.


          “These small men will get larger if they own more guns,” said Schmeits, handing out checks to Republican congressmen on the steps of the nation’s capital. “They need pistols and shotguns and guns that have guns attached to them and guns that shoot guns. That will fix them right up.”
          But Dr. Svenenberg stood by his research.


          “Zey are so wee, it’z almozt to make me to laugh,” said Dr. Svenenberg. “But no. I don’t to laugh. Iz zad. Zo veery zad.”

            Hahaha!

            Oh Joe... We have a lot in common (politically), except for this one issue.

            Oh well, no one's perfect, eh?

              i got curious as to how many murders there are in the us and what kind of weapons are used. I used stats from here http://www.census.gov/compendia/stat...ime_rates.html (census and FBI data). Downloaded a spreadsheet file, added some color, adjusted things a bit so i could read it better and then made a chart. I included types of weapons used but merged two small categories into one so the chart would be readable. The two cats were something like weapon unknown and unspecified. The stats are from 2000 to 2009 but the chart is a total of all years. After I did it I thought someone on here might want to look at it.

              I was mostly curious as to how many deaths are by assault weapons but that is not broken out of rifle deaths. I did not think there would be many assault weapon deaths but I was surprised by how low total rifle murder was. Rifle 2.89% was beat out by shotgun murder at 3.34% which did surprise me. Handgun murder is 50.32% which did not surprise me at all. Total firearm murder 66.53%. Percentages are to all murder. Knives 12.83%. Hands and feet 6.31%.

              Numbers are my favorite because they don't lie. Well as long as the creator don't. Of course this requires some faith in government hahaha but it is the best I can find.

                Funny stuff. Another side of it is that if someone feels they must own 20 guns to feel secure, they are very likely not the kind of person who should own any guns.

                  Why Does Anybody Need an Assault Weapon? Because They Want It.
                  J.D. Tuccille|Jan. 17, 2013 12:19 pm
                  Apparently doing his best to piss off the people who work for him, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta went in front of* crowd of overtly Second Amendment-supporting U.S. troops at a military base in Italy to ask why anybody "needs" assault weapons or (oddly) armor-piercing bullets. It's a question that's become a bit of a mantra for would-be restricters of personal armaments who insist on knowing what possible justification gun owners could have for possessing semi-automatic rifles that have pistol grips, or for purchasing magazines that hold more than ten seven rounds. It's also a question that seems deliberately dismissive toward the underlying principles of a free society.

                  As the Washington Post reported, "Defense Secretary Leon Panetta fired off a strong defense of gun control legislation Thursday, in front of a decidedly skeptical audience." Panetta's comments came after he was asked what proposals the Obama administration had in mind that "don’t have to do with tearing apart our Second Amendment." Showing the tact for which he has become famous, Panetta answered:

                  “Who the hell needs armor-piercing bullets except you guys in battle?” Panetta told the soldiers at the U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza in northern Italy. “For the life of me, I don’t know why the hell people have to have assault weapons.”

                  At this point, many self-defense activists respond that the need for guns has to do with the ability to defend against tyrannical government. Then gun controllers chirp, "but you can't defeat tanks and nuclear weapons with rifles!" thereby demonstrating that they don't keep up with the war in Afghanistan and skipped their history lessons about some difficulties the U.S. military ran into in a place called Vietnam.

                  But really, that's all irrelevant. Because in free societies, you don't have to justify owning things. You get to own them because you want them and have the means to acquire them. And you get to acquire more than just the basic necessities, if you so choose.

                  As I look around my office, I see a lot of stuff I don't need. There are two dogs aggressively shedding on the upholstery, a hat collection (panamas and vintage fedoras), CDs and DVDs, a shit-load of books ...If I owned only what I need, I'd be living in a spartan efficiency apartment, wearing a Mao suit and eating gruel. I have no interest in living that way.

                  My ability to acquire pets and stuff that I want without having to justify the acquisitions is an expression of my personal freedom. If I had to go, Stetson Stratoliner in hand, to some puffed-up bureaucrat to beg permission to purchase the boxed set of Firefly DVDs or a mutt rescue dog, I would very obviously be living in a state of severely constrained liberty. I would be unfree, even if that hard-working civil servant ultimately signed off on my acquisitions without extracting too hefty a bribe.

                  The appropriate answer to "Who the hell needs ... ?" is "hey, if you don't want one, don't buy it." The right to own stuff without an explanation is the right to be free.

                  Oh ... And Leon, all bullets are armor-piercing, depending on the armor. You might want to bone up on that, given that you're the Secretary of Defense.

                    Boxed DVD sets and books don't have the ability to mow down a crowd of people 10x as efficiently as a concealed-carry pistol. That is all.

                      That's an interesting point of view, and I can respect that.

                      I personally don't have any desire to own such weapons, but I respect the right for sane, law-abiding individuals to acquire semi-automatic rifles if they so choose, as it is clearly defined in the second amendment.

                        "Sane, law abiding individuals" are the only ones who are going to comply with any gun control laws, making them kind of pointless. Honestly I think this is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

                              one gun is sufficient to feel secure...........as long as you have many many bullets.
                              Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                              I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
