Believe me. When we’ve discussed murder cases, I’ve paid very close attention.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 2:44 amOh I can think of probably a good hundred ways to kill someone. Pro tip: Just don't carry your cell phone with you when you go to dispose of the body and stay away from security cameras. If you fail to do either, you'll see your every move listed in an arrest affidavit. Don't get me started on homicide.![]()

We must always weigh risk with benefit and consider probability. Stiletto heels are very safe. You cannot, for example, walk into a school and kill 20 students in five minutes with stilettos. Stilettos also provide a benefit: protecting your feet and of course fashion.Jersey Girl wrote:
Stiletto heels. Ice picks. Same thing.
Hammers, screw drivers, shovels, baseball bats, any appliances with cords, someone's CPAP machine--pretty sure you can strangle someone with those hoses. Not that I've ever considered it or even remotely fantasized about it during lock down.![]()
Keith Richards Telecaster. Well, the list goes on. Probably no way to kill proof society.
Guns are extremely dangerous, can kill massive amounts of people in a short amount of time, and provide no benefit.

Re: Are you pro life?
Are there any attachments that can allow for the rapid-fire of stilettos?
Leftists would probably be down on that, but FREEDOM LOVING patriots would champion RAPID fire stilettos.

Re: Are you pro life?
Concerning the OP, one of my favorite quotes is from a Catholic Nun:
Sister Joan Chittister wrote:I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."
The great problem of any civilization is how to rejuvenate itself without rebarbarization.

Re: Are you pro life?
Yes and no. I suppose I could fairly easily make a modernised version of a muzzle-loading matchlock musket with things I could find in my shed. Or even a breech loading one-shot gun using modern cartridges.
But anything enabling me to achieve the rapid multishot capacity of even a bolt-action weapon, let alone an automatic, so that I could launch a successful career as a school shooter? Naah. Even 3D printing can't get you there yet at any affordable cost, and probably not even if that is no barrier. And the result is certainly not 'very simple'.

Re: Are you pro life?
No, my wife and kids have never needed to use a firearm for self defense. Why does that matter? Are you saying we shouldn't prepare for the worst?? Ok! Now you answer my question. What should my wife do if a 200lbs man breaks into our house and wants to cause her bodily harm? Here's another one. What about the woman that experienced a rape in the past and feels more comfortable with a fire arm in the night stand, are you saying you want to take away her freedom to protect herself??Sledge wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 1:59 amWhy won’t you answer my question?Atlanticmike wrote:
Yes, guns enhance our ability to kill things. That's why my wife and girls know how to shoot tools that kill people. A 120lbs woman has almost no chance against a male intruder if she doesn't have a gun. What if kids involved? Does a mother have the right to defend her children? If not a gun, then what should she be "allowed" to use to defend her children?
Here it is again: how many times, so far, has your wife or daughter had their home invaded?
Again, extremely low probability of this happening. It is far more risky to drive a motor vehicle; why do you let your “120 pound” wife drive a car?This video is of a mother protecting her children with a gun. The man went after the children, broke through 2 locked doors and entered the attic where the family was hiding. Should she of used her 38 revolver she shot him with?

Here's a rape victim that chose to carry a firearm after being trained how to use it. What you're telling me is, you want to deny her the right to protect herself?
