Dark_Grey Posted January 15, 2016 #252 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Growing number of police chiefs, sheriffs join call to arms http://www.foxnews.c...l?intcmp=hplnws “There is momentum in the country for expanding the right to carry,” New York University Law Professor James Jacobs told FoxNews.com. “But the people who are leading the charge on gun control, they say momentum is changing in their direction. There seems to be a real disconnect here in terms of peoples’ perceptions of what the trends are.” Gun control threads at UM, in a nutshell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorvir Posted January 15, 2016 #253 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Gun control threads at UM, in a nutshell. Threads about high-profile shootings (ones sensationalized by the media) always end up as anti-gun rants as certain posters gleefully use the tragedy to get attention for the agendas. Usually within the first 5 posts. So, yeah, there's your nutshell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually most phones have a serial number and are worthless, except as scrap and to dial 911, once they are stolen and reported. The phones can be "cracked", true. But I don't think selling cracked phones is big in the US. Maybe they can be sold in bulk for overseas usage?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no, they are sold overseas (or kept at home) for more sinister purposes than for bulk usage. The idea is not to have a cheap cellphone (there are lots of those on the market) but to have cellphones that are difficult to impossible to trace.

Sweetpumper Posted January 25, 2016 #265 Share Posted January 25, 2016 One man is dead after a Colorado homeowner selling an item on Craigslist was tied up during a home invasion, got free, grabbed a gun and shot a suspect. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says two men went to the home Sunday in response to the ad, but overpowered the homeowner and tied him up. Sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley says one of the suspects stole the man's car. Kelley says the homeowner grabbed a gun and opened fire, hitting and killing the suspect. According to KMGH-TV (http://tinyurl.com/h7afsjl), deputies are searching for a man in another vehicle.

Sweetpumper Posted January 28, 2016 #267 Share Posted January 28, 2016 With the debate over gun control in America raging on fiercer than ever, conservative pundit and comedian Steven Crowder decided he would conduct an experiment to see if it really is as easy to purchase automatic weapons as some liberal politicians and celebrities have claimed. Crowder visited several weapon vendors at a gun show and attempted to buy a gun without a license, resulting in a hilarious failure that he recorded on a hidden camera. He then featured the undercover stunt on his web-based series Louder With Crowder. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/01/28/comedian-goes-undercover-to-test-out-the-gun-show-loophole-watch-how-gun-sellers-react-to-requests/ Numbskulls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakari Posted January 28, 2016 #269 Share Posted January 28, 2016 My contribution........And, I could post a lot more. GUN CRIME GALLERY In 2007, former cop and volunteer security worker, Jeanne Assam, saved the day at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Thousands of people were exiting from Sunday mass that day as the shooter opened fire. However, Assam ran toward the line of fire, killing the shooter and saving countless lives. Alton Nolen of Moore, Okla., was charged with first-degree murder in the gruesome beheading of a Vaughan Foods worker. His rampage was halted by Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the company’s chief operating officer, who used his personal firearm to wound Nolen. An 18-year-old mother saved the life of herself and her baby in Blanchard, Oklahoma. There, a knife-wielding intruder was attempting to enter Sarah McKinley's mobile home shortly after her husband died of lung cancer in 2012. After breaking in, McKinley fired, killing one suspect and scaring the other intruder off. More here : http://www.washingtontimes.com/multimedia/collection/good-guy-gun-stopped-bad-guy-gun/?page=5 Luke Woodham fatally stabbed his mother at home before opening fire at his high school, killing two students and injuring seven others. The attack was stopped when Assistant Principal Joel Myrick retrieved his .45 caliber handgun from his truck and confronted Woodham, detaining him until authorities could arrive. ADVERTISING Myrick’s action stopped Woodham from going across the street to the middle school as he had planned. A 14-year-old student showed up to his middle school dance carrying a .25-caliber pistol. He opened fire inside the dance, killing one teacher and wounding another as well as two students. The rampage ended when James Strand, owner of the banquet hall the dance was happening in, grabbed his personal shotgun and confronted the 14-year-old killer. Strand held the teen at gunpoint for 11 minutes before finally getting him to drop the weapon and lie on the ground and searching him for additional weapons. A 43-year-old former student armed with a .380 handgun killed Dean Anthony Sutin and Professor Thomas Blackwell with point blank shots and went on to kill fellow student Angela Dales as well as wounding three others before being confronted at gunpoint by law students Tracy Bridges, a county sheriff’s deputy, and Mikael Gross, a police officer, after retrieving their personal handguns from their vehicles. The gunman was then apprehended by other students. Gross and Bridges lost valuable response time accessing their handguns because of the law school’s standing as a gun-free zone. A 79-year-old man entered an AT&T store in New York Mills, New York carrying a .357 magnum revolver in his hand and a list of employees he planned to kill in his pocket. Hearing the hand cannon go off, Donald J. Moore drew his own personal weapon and killed the gunman before he could complete his plan. One employee was wounded in the shooting. When a 62-year-old man armed with two handguns forced his way into Sullivan Central High School in Tennessee, he was immediately engaged by School Resource Officer Carolyn Gudger. Gudger put her body between the gunman and a student and started what would turn out to be a more than 10 minute gun-to-gun encounter. Gudger used the time to slowly move the man to a less crowded part of the school. When other officers arrived on the scene, a brief gun battle erupted ending with the gunman mortally wounded. Aaron Guyton was inside the recreation building of his grandfather’s church when he saw Jessie Gates, a member of the congregation, pulling a shotgun from his vehicle. Guyton leapt into action, locking the doors to the church where services were going on. Gates kicked in the door and pointed the shotgun at Rev. Henry Guyton and several parishioners. Drawing his concealed handgun, the younger Guyton held Gates at gunpoint while two members of the church took him to the ground. Rev. Guyton then took the shotgun from his hand. Two people were killed and a third was seriously wounded at Clackamas Town Center near Portland, Oregon when a rifle-toting gunman opened fire in in the busy food court. Nick Meli, a shopper in the mall, drew a personally owned firearm on the gunman, who immediately retreated to a service corridor and killed himself. Meli did not fire his weapon for fear of striking bystanders yet authorities say his actions caused the gunman to cease his attack and end his own life.

Sweetpumper Posted January 29, 2016 #270 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Dad charged in death of daughter shot by constable NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa. -- The father of a 12-year-old Pennsylvania girl accidentally shot by a constable serving eviction papers was charged Thursday with homicide in her death. Donald Meyer, 57, pointed a loaded rifle at Constable Clark Steele on Jan. 11 and Steele fired a single shot in return. The bullet traveled through Meyer's arm and struck Ciara Meyer, who was standing behind her father. "But for Donald Meyer, Jr.'s extremely reckless actions in pointing a loaded semi-automatic rifle at a uniformed law enforcement officer, Ciara Meyer would not have been killed," Perry County District Attorney Andrew Bender said Thursday, according to CBS affiliate WHP-TV. "Mr. Meyer's reckless conduct, knowing that his daughter was standing behind him, triggered a chain of events that tragically led to the death of Ciara Meyer," Bender said. Steele shot at Meyer in self-defense and will not face charges, the prosecutor said. Meyer, who already faced aggravated assault and other charges in the case, was charged Thursday with homicide and involuntary manslaughter. He has been jailed without bail since his release from the hospital. His public defender did not immediately return a phone call Thursday seeking comment on the charges. Authorities said Steele had gone to Meyer's apartment to evict the family. According to court documents, Meyer opened the door, closed it, then opened it again and briefly argued with Steele about the eviction before raising his rifle. Steele pulled out his service pistol and fired, and the bullet passed through Meyer's upper arm before hitting his daughter in the chest. Police told WHP-TV Steele had been at the apartment twice before during the eviction process, but did not encounter any problems. Meyer also faces a firearms charge. He was not permitted to have a gun under state law because he had been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility in 2011, Bender said. He allegedly falsified documents to purchase weapons, prosecutors said. Meyer is due in court Feb. 12 for a preliminary hearing. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ciara-meyer-dad-charged-in-death-of-daughter-shot-by-constable/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
