Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

Thanks to those who answered my question ... Gave me a bit to chew on. I think my opinion on the matter is moving after this; prior to this I'd not liked the idea of banning another class of small arms, but then too I was unaware of bump-stocks, for instance. Anyway, thanks for the informed opinions.


Yeah, I was looking at a 1911-type .45 for home defense today. I don't much fear for intruders, but 911 has a thirty-minute response time out here in the sticks. I'd been looking at various short Remington 570s before, but I've got a small place and a handgun seems a better fit.

If you're going for a gun at home, consider getting the teflon-loaded rounds. They are basically capsules of liquid teflon with BBs suspended in them. They will stop a person but they won't go through two layers of dry-wall. You can shoot without worrying about who's in the next room. I used carry them as airplane loads when we were moving prisonsers.

Or, we can stop making so many and stop handing them out like candy?

I am still having a very hard time understanding why that last sentence has to be automatically considered an all out ban.

Somehow, that need is not present in Canada, in my eyes, the country more similar to the US.
What's the difference?

Have you checked out the president that the American people elected?
Say no more...

The majority of the voters didn't vote for him.

Jim Jefferies has a great (funny) routine of why the whole "home invasion" scenario doesn't make much sense in most situations.

Which is more likely to happen in your lifetime? the big guy in your home with a knife, or someone doing something stupid?

Or the intruder being armed himself and having his gun ready . And indeed statistics speak for themselves the gun your trying to protect yourself with is more likely to kill you then the intruders your protecting yourself from.

Great tip, thanks.

Teflon filled!

If I shoot the wife in the chest will she get bigger tits?

No, she will end up with shotty breasts.

One will be bigger than the other, certainly. The odds of you know which is which would go down sharply, however.
