Yes.

The devil is in the details. Assuming there existed a law stating, simply,
"Unstable individuals cannot buy a gun." How do you define "unstable?" Is it
a subjective decision by the police chief? Is it someone who walks about
with a sign reading 'Thy Doom Is Near?" And so on.

As for your example, I really don't want to be around anyone who is NOT
capable of killing.

I built that when I was 13, and working part time in a TV shop. I
was a 'legendary nerd' in high school.

1: I took a spare scope tube to school on the school bus and the kids
were screaming to the bus driver that I was carrying a bomb.

2: I set up the school's first video tape equipment in the '60s. I
would turn the volume & brightness up and down from master control, just
to see if they were actually watch the tape delayed lessons.

3: I had complete access to the areas of the school that required a
master key, since I ran the sound equipment for assemblies, and tested
the others before games & pep rallies.

4: I did things like carry a set of wall locker doors to the metal shop
to weld some broken hinges. You should have seen the kids & teachers
staring as I walked down those long hallway. ;-)

5: I found some errors in our Physics textbook, and when we got to
electricity the teach told the other students to direct all their
questions to me.

6: My physic project was a home brew ultrasonic alarm, but some parts
had been on backorder for over six months, when they were due. I
couldn't turn in a partial prject with the schematics & other drawings,
and was told I would fail the course. The next day the teacher passed
out the grades, and I had an A+, with a note that he decided that the
professional grade TV degausing coil I'd made & sold him was my project.

7: We started a ham radio club, and needed money for equipment. I got
the school newspaper to post a request for donations of old electroncs.
Then I taught the other electronics students to do baisic radio & TV
repair. We raised over $600 from selling the used equipment and built a
nice station. We had a dozen leftover, working TVs that I donated to
the school. Of course, my favorite teachers got a TV they could keeping
their classroom before they school assigned the rest to classrooms.

8: The Dean of boys would pull me from whatever class I was in when
there was a problem with any of the school's electronics.

These are just a few, off the top of my head.

Yes, 9mm is better than, say, a .380, but not in a full size combat
gun. I might consider 9mm in a CCW arm, but you can get a .45 almost
as small. The only time I ever owned a pistol smaller than .44 (not
counting .22s) is an orig AMT Backup in .380. This only cuz it was as
small as a deringer. I could hide it in my hand! I no longer care

look for a ring generator. You could answer the phone before it rang,
every time. It really freaked out our customers!

At a Cable TV office in Ohio I would turn the lens upside backwards
or both, every time one young woman came down the hall. She thought she
was going insane.!

I have an allergy to cigarette smoke, and one idiot thought that it
was funny to light up and blow the crap in my face. I asked the manager
to remind them that the building was supposed to be smoke free, but he
didn't care. One night I emptied an entire can of Lysol into the
ductwork. The jerk light up the next morning and took a deep drag, and
almost passed out. He ran to get the manager and was screaming like a
little girl that I had tried to kill him. I smiled and told the manager
that I had sprayed the ductwork to rid it of the nicotine odor, and that
I would have to keep doing it, till it was gone, and reminded him of the
million dollars worth of electronics across the hall wasn't supposed to
be exposed to smoke. ;-)

I worked at a 5 MW EIRP TV station in Orlando, and built Ch. 58 in

2048 * 1536 can show four typical web pages at once, or is nice doing

Glad to hear it. You couldn't give me a 9mm Baretta.

Yeah, I couldn't believe when the switched from the .45 to the 9mm
years ago. It just didn't make sense to me.

Decisions like that make we question the wisdom of joining the
military.

I never did this, but ought have. One college professor at my "smoke free"
campus would smoke, as he was teaching. He'd use a piece of paper for his
ashtray, or perhaps an empty pop can. I never did put flash paper, or a dry
pop can with a bunch of gunpowder, in the trash can.

What "restrictions? Should a blind man own a gun?

What do you perceive as a reason to take away a privately owned gun?

You seen to have an opinion of when to take the guns... please share
with us.


I do but no matter what I say, it won't be perfect so I'll leave that
to our dear Congress to mull over.

Take a chance. I'll try to follow your logic. Do not blame this on
congress. Why do you need a "perfect" answer?

I was seeking your ideas and honest opinions of restrictions on, and
taking of guns from a decent citizens.


Got answers?

Easy. He's a loony lefty. They don't need reasons for hating
anything (or
anyone).


I don't hate, just don't think guns should be for everyone. Suppose
you knew a guy was unstable and capable of killing, would you want
that person to be allowed to buy a gun legally? I know he may still
get a gun illegally but I'm talking about legal gun ownership.


Who's going to determine who will be allowed to own a gun. "That guy
disagrees with The President, he must be crazy and want to harm our
ruler, don't let him get a gun!" Some P.L.L.C.F. committee or Gun Tzar
appointed by the Commiecrat in office will determine your rights? O_o

TDD

"Some P.L.L.C.F. committee or Gun Tzar...will determine your rights?" No.
Unalienable Rights are not up for debate. Only our enemies claim otherwise.
Each American has the Right to arms.

Political actors seek legitimacy in deciding such matters but Rights exist
in spite of prohibition.

They sure are nice, though. I complained of eyestrain from staring at
the CAD screen 12+ hours a day and finally was given long-persistance
hi res CRTs like that, for $2000 each in the early 90's. Thanks,
MILSTAR.

The spare laptop I bought 'for parts' at a flea market has a pixel
pitch of 0.204mm, or 1400x1050 on a 14.1" diagonal. The standard is
0.28mm. HDTV is gorgeous on it, within a small viewing angle.

Why? I like my 92FS Inox. It's not good as a CCW but it's a nice gun.

Wimpy ammo.

Yes, 9mm is better than, say, a .380, but not in a full size combat
gun. I might consider 9mm in a CCW arm, but you can get a .45 almost
as small.

Then Berretta has nothing to do with it. I can accept some penis envy among
gun owners. Bigger guns are fun, too. Keeping them full gets expensive. Even
a .22 is fun to plink with.

The only time I ever owned a pistol smaller than .44 (not
counting .22s) is an orig AMT Backup in .380. This only cuz it was as
small as a deringer. I could hide it in my hand!

Well, I also have a "tiny" .357 (6" S&W 686). That's smaller than a .44, so I
suppose it's not useful, either. ;-) It's twin, a .22LR S&W 617, is just as
fun on the range, though.

I no longer care
about CCW and jes want one all around gun. It'll be a 1911 in .45
ACP.

I would already have a 1911 if I had someplace to shoot it regularly. I
haven't been to a range for more than a year. The nearest one is about 50mi.
Once I get completely moved hopefully I can find one close (so far I haven't
found one that's actually open).
