OHhhhh, I did not know that. I will have to dig deeper so I will, As Paul Harvey always said, now you know the rest of the story.

Meh, don't bother. I'm sure they did find one or two, but nothing in plague proportions like that story suggests. I liked the 'bikies' comment. The Daily Telegraph lives to sink the boot into the Biker crowd; it sells papers apparently. According to the DT, if there's a drug lab, it's the bikies, business gets torched, bikies, gun bust..oops, must have been the bikies

Ok, that's it. I'm making this on the weekend..

I don't doubt for a minute that some determined criminals will make their own weapons or turn to other weapons.

I'm not sure anyone here has ever argued otherwise, F.U.

Still, the home-made guns in question are single shot, according to the article. And, some of them don't function/shoot at all and/or may backfire on their handlers.

So, in my view, the so-called "junk guns", while certainly a threat in the hands of criminals, are less a threat to general public safety than professionally manufactured guns in those same hands.

Humphhh..........anti aircraft is where its at.......





We pump kin around here.

Unless you're evil, the lesser of two evils is always preferable to the greater of two evils.

My point was that the "junk guns" aren't as efficient/effective as professionally manufactured guns, especially if the shooter's goal is hitting or taking down multiple victims in a single incident.

Do you disagree, F.U.?

A goddamned good Rueben sandwich. I've been itching for a decent Rueben for a week and fucked if I can find one anywhere.

I want a Rueben!

I'll make you one.

They're quick and easy to make at home, but I don't know if corned beef, sauerkraut and rye bread is something that is commonly found in the grocery stores over there. Other than that all you need is swiss cheese, thousand island dressing and butter to grill the bread.

I don't disagree . . . but no one asked me!

I believe a home made pipe-bomb is less effective than a professionally manufactured military grade ordinance.

And a suicide vest keeps you really toasty for a nano-second . . . versus a quality manufactured down or high-end synthetic insulated vest.

Exactly.

So, those junk guns and pipe-bombs are less a threat to public safety in the hands of criminals than are professionally-manufactured ones.

And, it's not surprising that some criminals who can no longer get their hands on professionally-manufactured guns are building their own less efficient/effective guns -- to be expected.

If this story happened in the US and the gun was constructed by a non-Christian youth . . . do you think they'd be invited to the WH and the Google tech fair?

Maybe not the Google thing.

Unless it had some sort of biometric safeguard . . . assuring only one thug, just one thug, could fire the weapon.

Chili sauce tastes very sweet to me so I use ketchup, mayo and dill pickles instead which turns it from Russian to thousand island.

I don't think any youth would get invited to the White House for manufacturing an illegal weapon.

But, I do think that any youth going into a school looking to kill a bunch of people is going to have much less likelihood of achieving the goal with one of those home-made pen guns than with a professionally-manufactured firearm. And, I know that a youth armed only with a home-made alarm clock in a pencil box wouldn't get the job done.

That holds true for me whether the youth's name is Ahmed or Joseph.

I really need to find the "Just Fucking Around" font.

You don't fuck around with dressing.

Or were you talking about the guns? In that case it's fine.

The goddammed, WH, idiotic gun thing.

Who am I to sway you from your beloved thousand island dressing?

Remember . . . I have no delusion of changing anyone's heart and mind.

I knew you were fucking around, even without 'tard font'.

However, junk guns and pipe bombs are no laughing matter.

And, Ahmed's been traumatized and punished enough without becoming the butt of snide Mock mockery.

Words can be weapons too, Tiki. Words can be weapons too.

I'm totally fucking around. The straight woman thing just comes naturally sometimes.

Now I understand why the Bible is so incendiary.

I'm burning my books!

And telephoning my elected representatives to ban libraries.

They're fucking arsenals for the masses.
