Thanks for the link. Note the source, a UK-based newspaper. The American media has basically become useless in reporting anything other than which local pastor slept w/ which one of his sheep. And that includes the NYT, or even the Chicago Tribune as far as this story goes. RT.com has become my go to substitute for the NYT. Of course, you have to consider the source...but same holds true for NYT.

Somebody has to freshen up the gene pool. It has become kind of stale in some corners of the country.

The Republicans can't govern because they have never developed any policies that make sense. Deport 12 million immigrants (but don't punish the employers who hire them)! Let the poor, those with preexisting conditions and the self-employed go to the emergency room! Keep 100,000 troops in Iraq forever! Torture terrorist suspects! Crush labor unions! Make workers pay higher tax rates than hedge fund billionaires! Poison the environment! The only tool they have to enforce these tantrums is to shut the government down. It's like watching a bunch of five year olds crying and taking their ball home.

And your point is???? Not me using mark-up makes it alright to violate constitutional rights!? over 700 posts and you still can't use markup? Why doesn't that surprise me one bit?!

Billy Boy, I really like that. An "anti-gun nutter." Is that like a double-negative? Thus, exceedingly positive. We know that only the deaf can hear God. You're talking to an anti-gun nutter. They always cherry-pick facts that support their view. The best thing we can do from now on is ignore every thread he posts about kids shooting mothers in the head kind of shit.

Learn some German! Otherwise I suggest you stay out of the discussion when adults talk! WaffG Anlage 2 (zu § 2 Abs. 2 bis 4) Erlaubnisfreie Arten des Umgangs 1. Erlaubnisfreier Erwerb und Besitz ... 1.7 einläufige Einzelladerwaffen mit Zündhütchenzündung (Perkussionswaffen), deren Modell vor dem 1. Januar 1871 entwickelt worden ist; 1.8 Schusswaffen mit Lunten- oder Funkenzündung, deren Modell vor dem 1. Januar 1871 entwickelt worden ist; 1.9 Schusswaffen mit Zündnadelzündung, deren Modell vor dem 1. Januar 1871 entwickelt worden ist; That doesn't seem to be true: See "Gun Regulation": http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/germany So then, the right to free speech should only apply to printed words, and not to radio, TV or the internet?

Exactly. So, now we have some dumb-nuts thinking that it is a a good idea to weaponize college campuses. Because if female students, 19, 20, 21-year old, would carry guns, it will prevent rape. What will happen next is something akin to this. "It was dark, and the guy looked at me. I felt threatened and had to defend myself. Sorry I shot him in the leg." "He was walking ten steps behind me. All the way from the student union to the dorm. I had to defend myself. Sorry he is dead!" P.S.: Does the constitution allow for individual nuclear weapons? I mean, I would feel a lot safer carrying a personalized nuclear grenade. Which will take out any threat to myself in a 2-mi radius.

I'd suggest you search German Law servers in German! You do know German, don't you?! That doesn't seem to be true: See "Gun Regulation": http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/germany So then, the right to free speech should only apply to printed words, and not to radio, TV or the internet?

This might come as a surprise to you. But in Germany everybody can own a weapon. No permit necessary, no paperwork, nothing! Unlike here in the US. The catch: it is limited to single-shot front loaders. And they cannot incorporate technology developed after Jan 1, 1871 (yes, that's 1871!) An approach like that would gel perfectly with the constitutional right to carry arms in the US. And as the authors of the constitution intended at the time it was written.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/19/us/las-vegas-road-rage-killing/index.html Look at that punk! How come he was even allowed to get near a gun????? At 19, he can't legally buy a beer!!!!! But I play along. If every freaking citizen were entitled to a gun, maybe customer service would be better. You messed up my order? Here is a bullet to the head. Better luck next time. French Fries served cold? Same thing. Wife not following orders. Her bad. Boom!

Yoink. ENLIGHTEN ME! Humor me. You have been exactly at war w/ whom personally over the last 1,000 years of your existence? You are trying to pull a Conrad Hilton here?

I think history proves that Swiss citizens can be trusted w/ guns. Case closed.

So why would you need knives (other than utensils) and unloaded guns in your house? P.S.: Living in a glorious right-to-carry-state (F****** Georgia), I don't need either. And feel safer for the lack of it.

That's actually a VERY good, and VERY observant question!! I do not hate them per se, but I find Anglo-Sexans the most rude, self-centered people there are. Heck, even Continental Europeans don't like their GB neighbors. And vice versa. P.S.: In this context, Anglo-Sexans means non-immigrant habitants of the UK, USA, Australia, Canada. I have no first-hand experience with NZ. They CLEARLY show the intent And Mpohl's clear intention was a personal attack. Why do you hate Anglo Saxons?

What can I say. The US that you, as a white, lower-class Anglo-Saxon proclaim, does not exist any longer. You, and your ilk belong onto the garbage heap of history. Compost well. If you don't like it get the fuck out, there are millions begging to take your place. and move quickly so the door does not hit you in the ass on the way out! Ever read the Federalists Papers? His interpretation is better than yours it seems.....

Hilarious. Friend of mine from NYC just visited Germany for 48 hrs before returning. We had to buy a carton of eggs (dozen), dump all the natural eggs, just to provide protective coverage for a dozen Kinder Eggs going back.

As always: I enjoy your enlightened interpretation of the First Amendment. An outstanding constitutional scholar you are. If you don't like it get the fuck out, there are millions begging to take your place.

Old friend. Why would you consider me a troll? Just reporting the facts.

But that would un-American. Every last imbecile has the right to carry a gun. Constitution, you know. Fuck the constitution!!!! Or at least the prevailing interpretation of it. it seems that the last weeks, there were more kids shooting people in the U.S. than ISIS beheadings Don't misunderstand me. I am not against guns. But it seems that many gun owners are just plain irresponsible and should not be allowed to own a gun.

Here we go again... MAN, these American toddlers are really a piece of work! "(CNN)A 3-year-old boy shot his father and pregnant mother over the weekend inside a hotel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Police say the boy removed a handgun from his mother's purse Saturday and fired one shot, striking his father in the lower backside. The bullet apparently exited through the father's hip and hit the mother in the right shoulder. She is eight months pregnant, said Officer Simon Drobik of the Albuquerque Police Department. The father was treated and released from the hospital while the mother was hospitalized in stable condition. The condition of her unborn child is unknown. The boy and his 2-year-old sister, who was also in the hotel room, are under the care of the Children's Youth and Families department. They were not injured in the incident. Drobik says the case has been sent to Albuquerque District Attorney's Office, which will determine whether the parents will be charged with criminal negligence. Police did not identify the family."

Dude, you claim to be a law-abiding citizen, but can't accept the authority of Billvon? He is the law of the land here. I rest my case.

Feel free to hit your head on an anvil, brother! Seems that's what you do best. The media doing its job at selling ad's yes. ***Let's keep in mind that I and my fellow citizens, regardless of color/race/ethnicity, are paying for LE, for your salaries. As long as you admit without LE keeping the criminals at bay every town in the US would be the wild west and middle east rolled up into a ball. The only thing that doesn't make any sense is this quote.

Seems that this thread has basically been reduced to 5-10 participants. Of course, we can be at each others throat until the cows come home. Ultimately, the American people will decide. And there is less and less support for law enforcement as it is administered/discharged today. Let's keep in mind that I and my fellow citizens, regardless of color/race/ethnicity, are paying for LE, for your salaries. It doesn't make any sense to shoot the ones paying you!!!! End of Story!

Huh? Where? When? Enlighten me. When did I attack you personally? If so, I will immediately ask the mods to ban me.
