Who Shouldnt Have Guns?

[dahermit]

DUHermit,

I have never claimed expertise on guns -- only the mathematical and physical principles behind them.

And if you would simply ask, I'd readily admit that I estimated the weight of a bullet offhand. The 300 m/s I vaguely remember from the military science required in my country.

The purpose of the post, ostensibly, is to demonstrate just how much energy is in a bullet when fired. But I see that after 14 years of vocational education, you are incapable of discerning just what gun and bullet specifications really translate to.

It "translates" to 900 fps.( acutally a little faster because your figure is in meters not yards), and a bullet weight of 1,543 grains. Furthermore, you did not do it, "...to demonstrate just how much energy is in a bullet when fired.", inasmuch as no one cares in the context of this debate, and there is no such bullet, you did it to try to impress the people on this thread of you mathematical knowledge...just like a real engineer.

You are not fooling anyone.

DUHermit,
...The 300 m/s I vaguely remember from the military science required in my country.

An engineer, from another country? Numnuts has a rich fantasy life doesn't he. Or, perhaps he never said this, or it is taken out of context.

Can you even read?

Yet another persona; attack from numnuts...nothing new here.

...admitting the use of deadly force in an attempt to disable rather than kill the assailant can be construed as evidence that the defendant wasn't yet in enough danger to justify lethal force in the first place...

What planet did this come from? Seriously, where the hell did you come up with this?

I am curious -- do you understand the above statement to mean that you need to kill your assailant?

No, never said that.

Re: Numnuts

Dear DUHermit,

Here is the post I made, in ITS ENTIRETY:

Post 165

"You can pussy-foot around the point all you wish and it would not even amount to a scratch or a dent on the entire argument.

I said, guns are MADE for a specific use - to kill another person. That you may use it for sport does not diminish this fact.

And assuming that there are guns that do not fall into this general principle -- a glue gun or a stapler gun, perhaps -- common sense would tell you that this is not the subject matter of debate."

But it is quite evident that you have no common sense to speak of. Otherwise, you wouldn't continue this line of debate like a dog tenaciously hanging to a bone.

From post 246:

What an idiot you are.

I said all guns are made to kill. I did not specifically say human beings. And as the statistics demonstrate, it is being used to kill a lot of human beings.

Duh?

Are they for killing another person who isn't a human being, or have you begun to forget what you yourself have posted?

I have more knowledge of guns than you would realize. My work takes me to places where only bandits and rebels would go. From experience, the false notion of protection from carrying a gun is amply demonstrated there.

People with guns have a very large distrust and a disproportionately small tolerance for other people with guns.

I do not even have a gun in my own home. My wife would have none of that. I don't even know if any gun is absolutely child-proof. If it were, then a hs classmate of mine would still be alive today and his best friend, the one who accidentally killed him while handling a firearm, wouldn't be carrying all that guilt up to now.

Who are you to determine the tolerance level of anybody? Who are you to decide the level of trust or distrust of anyone but yourself. Who are you to decide how I choose to protect my family and myself? Carrying a gun isn't good protection? It depends on the circumstances. Sometimes running away from an as assailant doesn't work, sometimes hitting the assailant in the head with a loaf of french bread doesn't work either.

Childproof? The only thing anyone can do is take reasonable precautions to prevent children from handling guns. There no such thing as absolute. Children's ability to access cars can't be absolutely prevented. Nor medicines.

I've had several friends loose their lives in car accidents, I don't advocate getting rid of cars or preventing anyone from driving one because of a tragedy.

Re: Numnuts

Your meaning was clear to me numnuts. You made a ridiculous, inaccurate statement, was called on it for several posts, after dancing around the answer, you denied saying it, and now you are trying to say it was taken out of context( just like a kid would do). It is obviously not taken out of context, as what you were talking about are not glue or staple guns.

duh-ermit,

You wouldn't know the meaning of anything if it sat on your face and defacated.

I repeat -- THE PRIMARY USE OF A THING IS WHAT CAN BE LOGICALLY INFERRED FROM ITS NATURE.

It doesn't make a difference if you fancy putting the barrel of a gun up your anal passage for the sheer thrill of it. That DOES NOT CHANGE ITS NATURE.

Capice?

What a bonehead you are.

I was demonstrating the amount of energy in a bullet such that any reasonable individual can infer its use. I wouldn't dream of impressing you with HIGHSCHOOL PHYSICS since that is obviously beyond your comprehensiong.

Duh?

In my country, no one would dream of giving a bachelors degree for a two year course. The best you can attain with that is an associate degree -- which translates to a glorified assistant.

I wonder who exactly is trying to impress who? Oh, and kindly get me a donut and coffee while you're at it.

Numnuts, go back and read my original post where I responded to your: "Get an education!" I know that will be difficult, because your head is so far up your ass you cannot read or understand even your own posts.

"Capice?"
Now you are going to pretend you are Italian?!! What a rich fantasy life you have.

Now, you stop playing with mommy's compter...That's a good-boy.

Eh?

I suppose that my use of english indicates to your feeble mind that I'm pretending to be american or english, hmmm?

What a bonehead! Absolutely nothing but calcium between the ears!

 

[numinus]

this is beyond mine.

And what exactly are you whinning about, eh? A prize for proof-reading?

Only the queen's english is infallible english, fyi. Are you the queen herself, hmmm? Is that what you're suggesting?

No, you are pretending to be an adult, an engineer with fifteen years of experience, and some profound authority on the issue of gun control. You are not fooling anyone, Sonny.

Sigh

I'm not the one who felt the necessity to post his entire resume, now, am I? As I recall, that was you.

Why don't you just admit that you have fallen in love with me.
