What provokes this kind of weirdness ?


I'd like to see an end to all the government sponsored and sanctioned drugs these kids are being fed. That would be a start for me.




Seems like personal responsibility is taking another vacation.....blame anyone but yourselves....

One of the most common comments on FB tonight is from parents who when they picked their kids up.....felt really relieved and happy.

I don`t know.......these kinds of things didn`t happen when I was a youngster.

What`s changed?





Your right, these things didn't happen back in the day. Society has degenerated into something that is desensitized to violence. Back in the day we didn't have graphically violent movies, video games or song lyrics. Much of the violence in this stuff is even glorified. We didn't have information overload, Internet and a gajillion TV shows on cable. When the nut cases crack they have way too many ideas to crack with.


Well they certainly didn't happen as often, but they did happen.

Good one, I had no idea. I'm glad these improvised explosives aren't catching on, the idiot could have blown up the whole freakin school.



Ha ha ha.....a little mass murder humor......


I seem to recall there`s been quite a few mass shootings lately.....
universities,campuses,churches,malls,movie theaters....

Do I need to go on?


Like I said....as soon as the extremists are shut out of the conversation.....and overwhelmed by normal folks who`re concerned and acting in good faith(and vote)....we will be at the mercy of nuts with guns........courtisy of the NRA and it`s ilk.

You would really use a gun to protect property? That is clearly not a legitimate use of a deadly weapon.

Yes, their would be instances where a criminal with a gun would kill someone in the commission of a property crime but as time goes on and more and more handguns are destroyed and no more are made or imported the guns would become very hard to get and very expensive and their use in crimes would decline, as they have in England and other nations with handgun bans.

It would still allow you to own and use a break open shotgun in defence of your home. And sure anyone found in possession of an illegal weapon should do a long jail stint. 



Since merely the sound of the action in a pump shotgun is enough to make most home intruders shit their pants, wouldn't such a restriction increase the frequency of the trigger needing to be squeezed?

As to the rest, let me know when it looks like 2/3 of the states are on board.

Also Bath tooks the bomber months of preperation while yesterday the madman just walked in and started killing.

I agree its a lot easier to just grab the semi-automatic (or whatever gun) that is kept in the closet than to research & cook up a bomb..

but.. imo.. the madman yesterday planned the attack out, it was not a spur of the moment thing.. he wore a bulletproof vest and who has one of those hanging in their closet? you would only buy one if you expected to be in a gun fight, it took time and thought to buy it..

Heretic, I still say this is an ill omen that we are agreeing, but whatever.

I have a multi-layer home security system.

First, when I bought the home, I had the wooden doors and door frames replaced with really nice metal doors and door frames. (the apartment I had previously lived in had a wooden door, deadbolt with keyhole on both sides, and standard door knob, someone broke in by kicking the door in)

last summer after filing a 2nd claim for hail damaged windows, I paid the difference and had 3/8 inch thick lexan put in the new windows instead of glass, this meant a custom made window frame, but I was tired of hail breaking windows.

Next layer are six dogs, one of which is a timber wolf/Siberian husky hybrid. Real even tempered and friendly to strangers invited into the house, over protective of the members of the family (my nieces ex boyfriend raised his hand against her and discovered princess on his arm)

Last layer, a pump shotgun loaded with deer slugs.

Now I admit my home security system has yet to be tested, but I think it will work.

Can you think of any way to improve it?

I like #4 buckshot, for the increased odds of a hit, and if you are confident of the ability to be right on target with a deer slug in such circumstances, #4 is going to do a lot more damage.

Just a thought, since you asked.

And no worries. I'm sure something will be along soon enough where we can go back to confidence in each others idiocy.

I agree with you about the doors & windows.. those are things I would do myself also.. for security, for hurricanes, zombies.. whatever! even if a person doesnt want to change the windows, they can put good security film on the windows themselves.. its not difficult..

First off, my heart goes to you for your loss. I agree with all the points you have made. The tragedy in CT is bad enough, any tragedy is just that tragedy. I find it simply appalling that anyone would seek to further an agenda and am very cautious when they seek to do so, especially right in the midst or on the heels of such tragedies.

There are those out there that seek to justify turning "rights" into "privileges", or just taking the "rights" away all together. Ask anyone in the 18-20 yr old age group. When the drinking age was raised, there was a lot of talk about how that would resolve the issue. Yet, still today we face it. The root cause was never dealt with, actually teaching your young how to do so responsibly. There are many other countries that work (if I might say, better) with everyone understanding there are "dire" consequences and sticking to those "dire" consequences. But those countries do not also have to deal with the legal system and lawyer issues that we do.

The answer lies in simply and honestly dealing with the real issues, instead of a knee jerk band aid political snowball fix.

Your words are true and I proud that you have used them wisely,
Master Devan

By the way, I love your signature quote. :P

What the fuck do you think you are involved in doing right now ?
You are ,as you put it,right now "furthering an agenda"
Your agenda just happens to be different than mine.
Your agenda is to keep the status quo in place.
Your agenda is to disregard the bodies and ignore the wailing of the parents.
Let me ask you something....how many dead are you willing to suffer ?
How many dead before we are allowed to have a conversation about the Second ?
Don't come here and tell me how distasteful my stance is,my stance seeks to do something about it.....yours would be to do nothing but deflect and allow the manufacturers to continue to peddle their tools of mayhem.


One last thing....your opinion ,the fact that you are "appalled",means nothing to me at all,20 dead children in Newton Conn.,that means everything...and it has to stop.


edited to add: Did you really think it was appropriate to add your little funny emoticon thing there ?
Talk about appalled.....I think I'm going to be sick !


I can see from your comments, that you are quite simply happy to be part of the cattle led to slaughter group. You are completely, blind and oblivious; you allow yourself to be spoonfed your thoughts and enjoy like a babe on any shoulder you can find to catch your regeritated words. Take some time, inform yourself. Look up the 2nd Amendment. Read about the supreme court rulings and attempt to understand them.

You like most, propagated by the media are confused about the differences between the 2nd Amendment and gun control. The only thing similar that they speak of is weapons. The media and the politians prey on your ignorance, you lack of taking the time to inform yourself. The 2nd Amendment speaks of the individual right of defense of oneself, family and loved ones, protection of a free and democratic republic, defence against hostile forces that threaten our free and democratic republic. ---- That is all, end of story... If you would take the time to inform yourself, you would realize how blind you really are to what the 2nd Amendment is. Read the summaries of the supreme court decisions, read the and see for yourself.

Gun Control is a completely separate issue from the 2nd Amendment. I had another post that I worked on for the better part of an hour last night to immediately follow this one, one click deleted the entire body of it while I was trying to quote, out of frustration and simply being tired I chose not to try to recreate it then. But in post you quoted: I did mention that little is and has been done to deal with the root cause; the actual issues I referenced one of them, which is teaching our young how to responsibly deal with things. Another is dealing with gun control and developing true protections for our society, in the issues of this the CT tragedy, the Virgina Tech, Columbine, the Aurora theater shooting and the list goes on and on; all the shooters involved had well documented psychiatric issues. Those issues need to be reported to some agency that is used as part of the licensing or a location that must give approval before any handgun, rifle, shotgun or such should be sold.

This will not be perfect but will work as another red flag for an intervention of some type. We must accept it not be perfect because we must accept this one saying "Where there is a will, there is a way". Those who seek to attack the innocent, to break the law, to do violence to create civil unrest; do not hold themselves to the laws and seek to find ways around them or flat out break them.

Your little rant refused to acknowlege is represents the major flaw of your very arguement. In every case, there is ONE PERSON with major psychological and sociological issues going on. That individual, THE ONE PULLING THE TRIGGER - IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE, CIVIL, UNREST AND TRAGEDY THAT IS CREATED!!!! How can you justify laying blame on the rest of the law abiding citizens for those individual actions. Responsibility is something our society enjoys sweeping under the carpet, tries to cover with knee jerk reactions and half thought responses.

I am not disregarding nor do I seek to solely use the previously mention tragedies to stir up emotion to justify my firmly held beliefs. For your information, I personally do not own a gun or firearm. I have in the past and I did so responsibly because I was taught well. I am a veteran of the US Army. You talk about things you do not seem to truly understand. Educate yourself!

Oh yeah, and if you don't like the emoticon in my signature, GTFOI (get the fuck over it)

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I made mercury fulminate in my garage when I was 15 years old. Since the web wasn't born yet I had to make do with instructions I found on a BBS. Less than a minute with Google still produces many dozens of websites with instructions to synthesize many different high explosives. The information is definitely available and anyone who has taken chemistry 101 can make many of them.

Fuel oil, nitro methane, diesel, kerosene, all legal and easily available, in bulk if you want.

Ammonia nitrate fertilizer, go to any ag store.

Mix anyone of the first with the second and you have a very effective explosive.

Need a trigger, search the web, the information is readily available.

Need something to put it in, 55 gallon plastic barrels are easy to find and buy.

Need to transport it, rent a uhaul.

Dont want to kill a lot of people at once, research the materials Ted Kazcynski used and follow the conveniently provided recipe, and technical instructions for the trigger.

Put in box and drop in mail, a long distance from your home.

As you said, bombs are banned.

So did I just dream up the Oklahoma City bombing and the Unabomber? I mean bombs are banned, right?

He also made high explosives.

But for the main charge, at that scale, ANFO is the preferred option. His mistake was failing to double check his sources, as the correct figures for booster mass are readily available in tabulated form from multiple sources that agree, but he stuck with a single source that gave a figure that was too low. Indeed, it seems he took more care at first, then started rushing toward the end.

Really, it's not very difficult to make high explosives, if you don't rush.
