I'm curious if the OP has any reason to suspect that Zimmerman loaded his gun after seeing Trayvon, as opposed to having had it loaded the whole time (as is common practice).
Clips hold bullets. Don't they?Plankton said:My grand daughter wears "clips" in her hair; not sure what that has to do with handguns, however.
Nonsense. Sometimes restrictions can improve liberty. With 32,163 gun deaths a year in the U.S. we can certainly improve liberty with some gun restrictions.OC for ME said:Liberals detest liberty, and liberals detest individual self determination.
I tried that. I seem to have different sources than OCDO. Like with Automatic pistol.OC for ME said:Information is readily available on the operation of firearms. Do your own research, don't take anyone on the Interwebs word for it.
MKEgal said:Indeed. It is one of the dozen or so fake accounts by the same person, who has been banned under both of his original accounts, and pretty much every fake account since then.
So now we have at least 2 and perhaps 3 of his accounts replying to each other on this thread.
Quit feeding the troll.

1) I think carrying a firearm will more likely set you back then give you any kind of advantage.
2) Polymer pistols help criminals take gun through metal detectors by reducing the amount of metal present in the gun.
3) Clips, strips, and belts hold bullets until they're ready to shoot
4) A shooter has to reload less often with bigger clips.
5) Assault weapons can shoot faster than normal guns.
6) Some bullets are designed to pass through body armor and kill police.
7) .50 caliber guns were invented to destroy tanks and can certainly shoot down an aircraft...
He keeps 'shooting' himself in the leg. I am REALLY enjoying the liberal mind. .5 cal to shoot tanks????? LOLThank you for your responses. Please let me respond.

Let me take the time to deny this. I have only posted using this account. There is another one, but nothing posted with it yet. It's set aside to resist censorship. If this account is banned by a moderator then I'd quickly switch to the dormant one.
I want to try and get OCDO's understanding of guns. Let me rattle off what I know so far. Just quickly without qualifying it.

There's more, but I'm almost late for work. Please share your thoughts. I'd like to know what it is about guns that matter to you all the most.

Welcome to my frustration. Would they tolerate the epithet for Ben Franklin?
For a long day, follow the question through a (virtual) library. Gutenberg has ten entries authored by Franklin, including his memoirs in two volumes, and many by his contemporaries. The Franklin papers are on-line http://franklinpapers.org
Of course the question of just what is (a) liberal would have to be resolved. An assignment never made to them is; compare and contrast liberal and progressive.

Again, this guy doesn't deserve to sit on the moral high horse (even if it's just in his own mind) of having co-opted "liberalism".
That's exactly what I was talking about when I referred to this article.marshaul said:I'm curious if the OP has any reason to suspect that Zimmerman loaded his gun after seeing Trayvon, as opposed to having had it loaded the whole time (as is common practice).
How so? I would think that carrying a loaded gun would make someone less likely to avoid a confrontation. And there's cases of people carrying openly being targeted.marshaul said:So, by being armed one can reduce the likelihood of a confrontation,...
Most of what I know about guns comes from www.vpc.org.MAC702 said:If you are serious about dialogue, please research your response before posting things you learned on TV.

Thank you all for your replies. I have a lot more time to write now. Let me get back to an older post.

My understanding was that the .50 caliber M2 Machine Gun was developed in world war 1 for the military as an anti-tank rifle. Surely the tanks back then were much thinner skinned then they are now. Of course it's kind of moot. The insidious gun industry invented a .500 caliber handgun.
I would like to press the disadvantages of carrying a loaded handgun in public. I for one try very hard to keep my nose out of trouble (except maybe on the internet.)
Would someone be nearly as careful when they have a loaded handgun on them? Why or why not?
Wouldn't it make it harder for police to distinguish good citizen from criminals if the good citizens weren't armed? Why or Why not?
With the few gun control law that we do have aren't you worried about breaking them and suffering legal penalties? Why or Why not?
What is there to stop someone from committing a mass murder at an indoor gun range like the one at Badger Guns?
If shooting is a normal thing there how would someone know there's a mass shooting?
If they don't screen for felons on the range isn't it more likely for a murderer to be on it?
Please respond. I'm curious to know what your thoughts are.

...studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was ‘used’ by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.

When you are in public your nose is always in the realm of possible/unforeseen/unseen trouble. You take a risk when you are out in the public. When you drive you never know if you are going to have an accident. That is why you have a car insurance for your car. Same for carrying handguns. I want to never use it, but then you never know. When One flies, one takes a risk by putting one's life in the pilot's hand. That is one reason to take out a life insurance policy or you buy one at the airport before flying.Thank you all for your replies. I have a lot more time to write now.

Guys, quit feeding the troll.
Doug already knows the answers to his own questions.
In fact, he probably knows several different & contradictory answers.
