Guest American Woman Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 So someone sets off a bomb to deliberately kill innocent people in the US and you reach back eleven years to when the US accidentally killed the wrong people in a middle of a war zone? There is something seriously wrong with you. And on top of all that, he presents it as "today" .....

Argus Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Let’s be reasonable…….At the very least, a national background check system for pressure cookers, coupled with a ban on high capacity pressure cookers… Glad you find this so amusing. Of course your inane jokes leave out the point that pressure cookers are designed to make food, and almost impossible to hurt anyone with, notwithstanding some psycho religious nut putting bombs into them. Guns are designed only to kill people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns are designed only to kill people. Funny that…….Mine, like the vast majority of others, never have well in my possession, yet they’ve sure aided in getting food…… And for the record, I never indicated that I found the topic of the OP amusing, but what I did find as such was Topaz’s post.

Argus Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 No they're not. They're designed for hunting, too. Shotguns and bolt action rifles are designed for hunting. Hand guns and assault type weapons are designed only to kill people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here you go: Field & Stream Picks the 25 Best Handguns for Hunters Handguns for Protection in the Field Sure……..Dirty Harry’s Smith & Wesson Model 29 with the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge was developed as compact gun for usage against dangerous game……..The AR-15 is also a popular varmint and wild pig gun, for the weak cartridge it’s chambered in makes it wholly unsuitable for hunting anything bigger then a dog……Now of course, the Remington R-25 chambered in .308 is a very relevant big game rifle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were the guy who started posting his gun porn again. After just going through the thread quickly, the drift started back here: http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/topic/22566-explosions-at-the-boston-marathon/page-7 As you can see, it started with “anti-gun nuts” referencing the 2nd amendment and kinder eggs……..amongst all the conspiracy theories……..Well my “return to the thread” a page or two later responded to Topaz’s post: The latest report is saying they think a pressure cooker was used as one of the bombs and apparently they have been used in the past in bombings in the US and in Afghanistan. Great, so now if someone goes to buy one, they get the third degree ot maybe they will banned them from sell?? So I guess the FBI, will have to go through and find out how many pressure cookers have been sold in the last months. Yet you decide to go after me and my “gun porn”……..That’s quite alright by me mind you, fore “gun nuts” like myself are in great moods and celebrating another victory, what with a further promise by the Obama administration to continue with their de facto guns and ammo marketing campaigns.

Unless someone wants to advocate the same restrictions on explosives as currently exist for firearms in the US, I suggest this thread shows a little class and returns to it's original subject. Sure, I‘ll “jump all over it” once someone quotes me in said thread like Argus did……..No skin off my nose. I find the irony in one Topaz’s suggestion that “pressure cookers” might become regulated in future…..well….ironic Simply put, pressure cookers, like firearms, when in the hands of the vast majority of law abiding, semi-educated, citizens pose no risk to the public at large……..Of course you will get from time to time an idiot that burns down his house trying to deep fry his Thanksgiving turkey, just as you will get an idiot causing death or injury with a gun…… As you will also get deranged or fanatical people that turn such objects into weapons……clearly the vast majority of law abiding folks alongside their pressure cookers and guns are not to blame for the actions of a tiny minority, just as laws banning or restricting the use of guns and pressure cookers in the hands of law abiding folks won’t lesson the desire of said deranged fanatics to harm their fellow (wo)man. Perhaps, and just throwing this out there (and luckily I’m not the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada), we should look at the “root causes” of why a small segment of society desires to harm people with pressure cookers and guns……..then address those “root causes”……… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure do.......and the aftermath and response by the "anti-gun-nuts" is priceless.......And with the promise not to end their "fight", they will only further line the pockets of gun advocacy groups like the NRA and the gun makers, creating in effect only a stepper hill to climb for themselves.

You could have left it alone but no, you had to bring in the gun issue with talk of registries and regulating their capacities complete with 8X10 glossies of your favourite toys. One thing has become perfectly clear to me. The chances of Congress banning pressure cookers is much greater than it doing anything meaningful about the carnage caused by firearms so show a little class and go back to your my dead hands thread and gloat there.

kimmy Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Everybody else is politicizing the Boston bombing, so why not try and find a gun control angle too? "It happened because of the sequester!" "No, it happened because Obama is soft on terror!" "No, it happened because of US imperialism!" "Oh yeah? What if it was radical anti-government kooks instead of Muslim kooks?" "More people died today in Palestine than in Boston and nobody even cares!" "Matt Damon!" "False flag operation! It's all a government plan to take away more freedom!" I'm disgusted too, but it's not just at this thread. -k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
