So--- if you get rid of guns, you get rid of gun-homicide.

If you get rid of guns, you absolutely get rid of the mindset over guns (eventually).  (Gotta start somewhere...   )

A masterpiece of the embalmer's art. The illusion of sentience is uncanny.

    Reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward shot dead
    Interviewee Vicki Gardner was also shot but in a stable condition
    Video shows Parker interviewing Gardner when multiple shots are fired
    The killer is Vester Lee Flanagan II, a disgruntled ex-employee
    Flanagan died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound hours after the killings

Stupidity kills people..........not guns.....

The latest shooting in the champion land of nutjobs is no surpose to the world at all. The other night I seen an experienced US medical many saying that there were probably up to 10 million over there with well, some kind of mental probs and getting easy access to guns like toys is no help. Heck that is ten percent of the population.

Instead of being progressively sensible an awful long time ago after the early days and the cowboy world guns should have been limited and the country is reaping the self-created whirlwind.  What will be next - armed vest for visiting shopping centres, going to school, cinema or whatever? That this thread is still hereis a mental midget mindset. It started on opera and was created here by a modern John Wayne mind and is long overdue for pulling.

[glow=blue,2,300]Gun maker hopes Christian engravings will keep assault rifles
out of Muslim hands! [/glow]

An arms maker in Florida is engraving Christian symbols on its assault rifles, in a marketing ploy denounced by a Muslim group as fomenting "hatred, division and violence".

The Crusader assault rifle is inscribed with the cross of the Knights Templar, a religious order that fought in the Crusades, and a psalm from the Bible — features that its maker, Spike's Tactical, says are intended to keep the weapons out of Muslim hands.

"We wanted to make sure we built a weapon that would never be able to be used by Muslim terrorists to kill innocent people or advance their radical agenda," company spokesman Ben Thomas said.

The Christian symbols would prevent the guns from being shipped to the Middle East, he said, claiming the rifles had been a hit with the company's customers.

"We sold out of rifles in the first 72 hours and there's a backlog of several weeks," he said, declining to say how many had sold.

The Florida branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a statement decrying "this manufacturer's fancy new gun".

"This is just another shameful marketing ploy intended to profit from the promotion of hatred, division, and violence," it said.

Mr Thomas, asserting he was not a bigot, insisted: "If they think the word of Jesus Christ causes hatred, they don't understand Jesus Christ."

I could see these things actually starting a war.

Look up history. The British had a major row in India over the grease that was used on cartridges there. In order to prep your rifle so you could eventually fire it, first thing you had to do was bite the end off of the cartridge and then shove it into the gun. After that of course followed the wadding, shot and so on that made muzzle-loading weapons so much "fun".

The grease was the problem. The Hindu soldiers got it into their heads that the grease was from cattle, and of course cows are sacred in that part of the world. Muslim soldiers soon got it into their heads that the grease likely was from pigs, and of course a good Muslim won't put pork anywhere near his mouth--- or even touch a pork product if it could be helped.

So, the great mutiny was on. British soldiers only commanded the ground their guns could cover, and the land was a hell-hole of screaming devils looking for British blood. The mutiny was eventually quashed, but not before a bloodbath had happened the like of which hadn't been seen for a long time.

So, now we have a gun with Christian symbolism and scriptures on it--- in order to keep it out of the hands of Muslim extremists according to the press-release-- and I personally wonder how this gun isn't going to start another bloodbath. This is an idea whose time has not come.

Crusader rifle with psalms engraved on it? It's hard to imagine a more obvious way of motivating IS-type jihadists. They are precisely after religious trophies from the crusaders.

Oh that is just a cop-out and you should be bright enough to figure that out even if your government is still concerned on education matters.

YOU own government
