It would seem difficult to cut both arms with a handsaw...do you cut one half-way and use that one to cut the other completely off? Not very pleasant to ponder!

The difference between "cut" and "cut off" seems to have eluded you.

Hey pal. Only the headline states he "Tries to Cut Off His Arms".
Nothing in the article remotely suggest that.

More sensationalized media hype by the liberal media.
Is the reporter a mind reader? Don't thing so.

"attempted to cut his arms". Not "attempted to cut off his arms".

Doug, literally you are right but truthfully at first I thought it was
just a play on words and implied to be the same. Now I'm not sure

And you'll need a background check and a waiting period to buy one.
And better not be caught within 100 yards of a school with one.
But it'd be a waste of money, because the government is gonna come
confiscate any saw over 3 inches.

You know what...at least he didn't cut someone else's arm off! Is it necessary to turn this into something political?

So, will we have fewer handguns if we pass a law saying
no more can be sold or manufactured ?// Hmmmm....probly not.

One suggestion is using "Affirmative Action" to say that
handguns cannot be sold to blacks...... According to
the FBI statistics, .... that would cut down on the majority
of homicides......


Then , the rest of America would have to rely on
Planned Parenthood to reduce the level of crime.....

...... or is that approach "racist ' ?

I favor more gun control but I wonder what this country would be like
if it was a requirement for every citizen with a minimum age, to have
at least one gun in their possession and must be armed in public at
all times. Give it a 5 yr. plan and then re-assess the law.

Your plan isn't one bit racist but it does have a minor flaw.

It should read "Use Affirmative Action to say that handguns cannot be
STOLEN by blacks. However, we already have laws on the books similar
to that but the penalty for violating those laws doesn't carry a death
sentence.

If they did carry a death sentence we would have no repeat offenders
or overcrowding of prisons.

We can't have high capacity saws out in the hands of commoners. Think of the
children, man! One maniac rampaging through a school with a high capacity
hand saw. It's too terrible. We've got to do something to reduce the
availability of high capacity saws. Why, if only one limb can be saved.

That's gotta be drug-related. That guy musta been halucinating something bizarre happening to his arms or something.

They will if the guy or his family comes back and sues HD for leaving the handsaws accessible.

I'm sure they'll come up with some sob story about how the man suffers from some form of mental illness and he was off his medication, and how it wasn't his fault that he tried to saw his own arms off, it was the illness. It was HD's fault for leaving the saws unsecured where a mentally ill person could access them.

Saws should be locked and only sold after a background check and
proper permits. A 7 to 10 day waiting period would be good too.
Power saws will be registered and must have a locking device on the
plug.

Sawzall blades, max of 7 per package. No more 10 packs of sawzall blades. No
one needs 10 sawzall blades to shoot a deer.

I'm going to write my Congressman to introduce a law for handsaw control
and restrictions on the number of teeth a saw can have. If
it saves one life, it's worth restricting access to and possession
of high tooth capacity handsaws especially those with more than one
handle. Universal background checks before anyone can own a handsaw
will prevent tragic mass sawing events. o_O

I'm taking bets on that the guy that attacked the students in that school in Texas and the guy that attacked himself with a saw were put up to it by the NRA.

I'm thinking the NRA just wants to show the democrats that things would be even messier if all the crazies didn't have guns to attack people with.

When one of my little friends is in my lap or giving me a hug, I look at
the little person and wonder how could any adult ever think of harming
this little person in any way? I have a real problem with filthy
minded people, usually very religious, who think there is some
perversion going on when I tell them I love little children. I give them
the dirty mind test. I ask: If I told you I love hamburgers and pork
chops, would you automatically assume I was having sex with farm
animals? When they indignantly respond with "Of course not!" I then ask:
Then why in the hell would assume there was sex involved when I told you
I loved little children? Never forget, the toes are the crunchy part. ^_^

I remember one boy, a couple months old. It was before church. Mom let me
hold him on my lap. I had him balanced on my knee. He went into "horse
riding jockey coming around the final corner" mode, and shook powerfully and
deliberately. Took me totally by surprise, and he fell on the floor. He
yelled and screamed. I was thinking spinal damage, and backboard, and
cervical collar. Mom came over, picked him up. Four or five minutes later,
he's back on my knee ready to do it all again. Mom looked surprised. I
remember commenting that was "so five minutes ago".

I was sitting on a bar stool at a friend's house with a baby on my knee.
The father of the baby was standing next me and we were just chatting. All
of a sudden the baby straightened out her legs with such force that she
launched herself up and out and was on her way to the floor head first.

I bent forward and grabbed her legs, the dad bent down and grabbed her
around the waist. Her head was inches from the floor. We look at each other
for a second and then I said "You got her?" "Yep", he said. I said, "I'm
going to let go, OK?" "Yep, I got her" he said.

I let go, he turned her upright, put her back on my lap and we continued
our conversation.

We never told her mom.

They must have tightened up the requirements for qualifying for Social
Security disability payments. So when you don't own your own saw, and
can't afford to buy one, you just use the one in the store.

This has been done at other times recently in your formerly great nation
- one guy helping another guy by shooting a foot (or even trying to cut
it off) or cutting off a finger or toe to qualify for SS disability
payments.

Do incidents like these make you proud to be an american?
