Couple this with the school shooting/hostage situation in a town an hour away from my hometown, nowhere is safe from anything anymore.

In reply to a user on another journal, here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:14952065

Got too long for a reply, plus I think we've jacked that thread long enough.




You'd be surprised how many times other weapons are used besides guns.

Here is one for you on the greatness of banning guns:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/1440764.stm

"A new study suggests the use of handguns in crime rose by 40% in the two years after the weapons were banned. "

"Of the 20 police areas with the lowest number of legally held firearms, 10 had an above average level of gun crime.

And of the 20 police areas with the highest levels of legally held guns only two had armed crime levels above the average. "

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/s.....illings-weapon

"The WHO study said a knife was used in 39.5% of killings, and in 12% of all violent crimes, among young people aged 10-29 between 2004 and 2006. And more than one in 10 hospital admissions for assault in the UK involved use of a sharp implement."


http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/off.....me/murder.html

Murder stats in 2000 by weapons other than firearms:

Knives or cutting instruments 1,782
Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) 617
Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) 927
Poison 8
Explosives 9
Fire 134
Narcotics 20
Drowning 15
Strangulation 166
Asphyxiation 92
Other weapons or weapons not stated 799

Percentage of overall murders without use of a firearm in 2000: 34.5%

In 2004, the murder of young people (ages 9-29) in the US by knives was 688, out of 6502, or 10.6%. Now, you remove guns from the equation, and factor in the murder rate of young people in the UK by knives, and that number would have been about 2568 killings by knives, if you assume the number of murders were the same..

Seeing as gun laws have actually increased gun crime, and people find other ways to kill each other, what makes you think that guns are bad? People will kill people, no matter what. It is how many people they kill before they are stopped that makes the difference. An innocent person doesn't have a gun. What do they do? They run and hide and hope they don't die as well. And innocent bystander carries a pistol. What do they do? They shoot the bastard and stop them.

Family members get in an argument. One of them goes to get their gun from the bedroom. They shoot the other family member. Gun Control freaks love this one.
Change it up:
Family members get in an argument. One of them goes into the kitchen and gets a knife. They stab the other family member.
Version 2:
Family members get in an argument. One of them angrily grabs something off the desk and swings it at the other family member. It was a paperweight. Family member is dead.

I vote we ban guns, knives, paperweights, fire pokers, pens, pencils, rocks larger than the size of pebbles, automobiles, any liquid that is not consumable, any pest poison, matches, lighters, flints, hammers, mallets, screwdrivers, files, saws, axes, candlestick holders, tire irons, pans, pots, meat thermometers, skewers, scalding hot water, buckets, bath tubs, scissors, glass, stairs, cliffs, vases, air compressors, nail guns, brooms, mops, chairs, wires, cords, string, rope, wooden planks, toasters, trophies, and forks. People should also have their arms amputated at the elbows and knees at birth to keep them from using their hands (or subsequently nubs at the wrists) to attack someone or their feet (or subsequently nubs at their ankles) to attack someone.

Did I miss anything?

K....so

Yesterday, while watching the Packers win their opening football game, we saw a commercial for the KFC Double Down http://www.kfc.com/doubledown/

We decided that we HAD to try it out, so after the game we ran down to KFC. Let me tell you.  snowmeow and I both agreed it was the best damn sandwich we have had in years. It was so good, both of us were thinking about posting on livejournal about it without knowing the other one was thinking the same thing lmao. She conceded to me, as I don't post often.

It is somewhat high in fat, but OMFG is it worth it. Haven't tried the grilled version yet, but the Original Recipe is just plain awesome, albeit a little greasy from frying it. I would definitely recommend this sandwich over any other fast food sandwich, hands down. It is delicious, and definitely filling. You don't walk away thinking of getting some dessert to fill you up. 4.8/5 stars


On another food note. Tonight we tried a new, simple recipe. Hot dogs and shredded Mexican cheese blend wrapped up in crescent rolls, sprinkled with crushed tortilla chips, and baked. You dip it in nacho cheese and enjoy. Was a pretty good meal :]

So, yesterday, my wife  snowmeow and I finally met up with  maverickcowboy .

Had an enjoyable evening chilling out and getting to know each other.

Woke up this morning at 7am to my supervisor calling me. Supposed to be there at 6. All good though. First time I was ever late for work, so no biggie. Slow day lmao. Went and did the delivery to the hospital and came home until the afternoon delivery. Finally got more than 4-5 hours of sleep lmao

P.S. Hepatitis (inside joke)

Whoever thinks that government assistance programs(entitlements) are a great thing, have either never had them or are too fucking ignorant to realize otherwise.
