You seem to be eradicating the perpetrators guilt and blame and pushing it off on someone else just because you don't like their product.

The key issue for me is the intent of the device. A kitchen cutting knife is not the same thing as a Katana. Charlie, gunpowder exists for other purposes other than propelling bullets too. Fireworks for example. It's the application of the invention/discovery into an instrument of death. Ah whatever. I'm over it now anyway... just throwing that idea out there. If a lawyer wants to run with it it may make a diff. but I'm not a lawyer. |

I personally thank you for posting the site. It is something I would like to own. Something I would at least like to fire at a range a few times, to see just how good a marksman I still am. It's been years since I fired a weapon. [ 02-10-2003, 05:40 PM: Message edited by: Wulfere ] |

It's been years since I fired a weapon.[/QUOTE]I agree guns are taboo. I don't think it should be a "done down" subject. Same as drugs. It's better to discuss these issues as opposed to brushing them under the carpet. Does this site have a "taboo" type culture towards guns or the more emotive issues? Truth is I'm not sure. I think in the past maybe the site was slightly more closeted, but now it's more open. It's no good pretending to the youth of today that guns, drugs and violence aren't out there. Unfortunately it really is becoming the norm'. I don't necessarily hold with the view that IW has a taboo relationship with these very serious issues. I think that as IW has evolved it has opened up and now takes these issues on board. Face it, this is now the world as we know it, we can't hide the youth from it. Better to let them know the truth....

Unfortunately, I have come to expect just this kind of reaction on any thread that deals with guns. It shouldn't be, but it is that way. I can only think of one thread that dealt with guns where I didn't see comments on how evil guns are. That was the OICW thread. Which I stayed out of till I could talk to a few friends who have used them in some short Dog and Pony shows. Then lost my internet access for about a week so I decided not to post as they had covered most of what I wanted to say in that time.
I agree that discussion is best, but this topic usually leads to arguements and the like. |

[img]smile.gif[/img] LOL...I have a friend who has been training his daughter in Tae-Kwon-Do since she was little. She can no longer spar with the other girls. They won't let her near them. They say she hits like a guy and it hurts. LOL
He tells her prospective boyfriends ... "If you hurt her I won't have to come looking for you. She will put you in the Hospital for me." Edit: She isn't a bruiser either, she is a very lovely young woman. [ 02-10-2003, 06:28 PM: Message edited by: Wulfere ] |

Cases like these are hard to prove, because the plaintiff must prove the firearm was defective in some way. Just because someone murders someone else with a firearm doesn't mean that the firearm was defective. However, I'm sure there are probably more than that. Those are just the ones I've heard of.
