As far as trying to engage the so called "topic at hand", are there any statistics that show the % of crimes using regular guns vs assault weapons -----as compared to the amount of each type of gun possessed by citizens (estimated)? That may be a reason.

Actually Puro, none of that as sarcastic or personal----AT ALL. Its the truth, as I see it----or an opinion to everyone else. Im sorry your a cop and cannot be impartial in this discussion or believe that the jobs you all do are perfect...but the fact is that is not the case. I would think (and hope) you would want to call out bad cops too, since they reflect on your profession as a whole and are why many people do not repect LE like they used to. As for taking things personally, refusing to admit someone else's opinion may hold some water, or (as Kuzi) believing your opinion is more enlightened or informed than everyone else's----you too kind sir didnt fail to disappoint. BTW, that part may have been personal, but only as a response to you making a blanket statement about my posts simply because your dont agree with the opinion stated.

No, I know there are many bad cops out there, I can't stand them either, it just had absolutely NOTHING to do with what we were talking about. It escapes me why in stead of contributing to the conversation at hand you choose to speak on something that had nothing to do with what we were talking about. I do not understand you constantly focusing on the 1% or so of cops who are a problem instead of the thousands of cops out there that put their lives on the line day after day for you and everyone else out there. But that is your right to b*tch about all you want. I just didn't feel it had any thing to do with what had been posted. As to the numbers of assault weapons used in gun crimes...

If you had read the article that was posted in the actual topic you would have seen that
"Assault weapons are used in about one-fifth of one percent (.20%) of all violent crimes and about one percent in gun crimes."
That theory has been tried, but it is a load of crap. Assualt weapons account for a tiny amount of the total gun crimes in America. The actual reason "assault weapons" were targeted is because it is easy to get an uneducated public behind something they don't clearly understand. I read about a poll where people were asked what the "assault rifle ban" of the Clinton era outlawed, and damn near every person said it bans "machine guns." When in actuality that ban was on semi-automatic weapons ONLY. Assault weapons look scary to an uneducated public.

I actually did read the article sm@rtass, and was asking what % of "normal" guns owned are used in crimes as opposed to what % of assault weapons owned are used in crimes. I believe the % may be much higher.

Of course thats what politics does...scare scare scare, and make people believe their best interests are being protected. We had it for 8 yrs with Bush and Cheney---but I know, thats over and a different topic, so I shouldnt use that point. Also, I would watch out about making topics devolve into ways they were not started because everyone is as gulity of that as I am or else we wouldnt be talking about the same $hit everyday with nothing going on but reinforcing our own beliefs and finding like minded people to soothe our fragile egos.

Uneducated public ......thats my personal opinion of why Barak Obama is President right now ...and we will pay for it for 4 years till he's not re-elected ! Just my opinion didn't mean to de-rail thread ...Sorry Volchur did not mean to quote your post and don't have time to fix it ...

No prob Mill, nothing to derail either---just a nice banter between us here who like to bicker:)

Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

and to answer your question:
i have never been beat up. i had many friends and few foes. the one time someone did try and start *** with me they realized i would easily overpower them. I was a serious athlete. I ran cross country, played soccer, lifted with the football team, threw discuss for the track team. there was never a season where i was not playing some sport. i was in very good shape but would always use my athleticism for a positive goal instead of fighting.

now, can you stop asking attacking questions that dont further the debate at hand focus on using your mind in a positive fashion by taking part in an intellectually open and honest debate, focusing on facts and theories, not hate and mud slinging?

I will do my best :) ---------Discuss always interested the hell out of me BTW for some reason....as did the javelin (sp?) and shotput... seemed very Roman and harkened my historical side toward a different time of sports, if that makes any sense.
