If you are of the first, you have use. If the latter, useless.
As I said before, I prefer fisticuffs, improvised weapons, or weapons that could feasibly be self-made. The venerable history and discipline of the martial arts has an appeal of sorts.
Guns just have never done anything for me, but I'll confess I used to have an actual hands-sworn for real truth fetish for swords and knives. They're just... very pretty. So pretty. They gleam, and they make this noise as they move through the air.
Some girls like jewelry. I happen to like my jewelry sharp and dangerous as all get out.
But I mean look, I'm a highlander, it's in the blood for me to charge someone firing off a rifle at me while I'm swingin' a claymore. Most of my ancestors fell in battle that way. I can't deny that part of me any more then my atheist self can resist celebrating christmas.

Yeah, Sig, reading Wulf saying ANYTHING about seeing the good in people should get the prize for the first guffaw of the morning, except in a bad way. When I said that "except for one", I had no doubt there is nobody here who stroked his guns, Wulf was the one I meant. He's one of, if not THE, saddest person I've ever met here, and one I want to know NOTHING about.
Brenda, glad you weren't driven off, and "welcome" to another refugee from the OB. I was there for a while, and got driven off by some pretty vicious actions; I'm surprised you hung in there. Arlo's here, and there have been a couple of people who were "residents" on both boards, Rose among them. This is a good place, despite the usual suspects, and if you could hold your own on the OB, you can handle it here, no question!
It's also great to have a voice from outside the states--we had one Canook (hope you don't find that as offensive as he did, to me it was always a term of endearment), an Ozzie and a couple of Brits; I always appreciate their input. The other one I mention from Canada HATED Americans, so there was no real talking to him; I for one highly appreciate hearing perspectives from outside. And I agree with everything you said.
I'm not participating in this thread much anymore; it's too repetitive, useless, boring in it's predictability, and pretty much down to Anthony insisting the same things he has from the beginning and Byte "stroking" him--and Wulf--versus the occasional other poster. As such, it's a ocmplete waste of time.
I will add one thing and one thing only. To those who keep saying getting rid of "assault weapons" is fruitless because there are so many out there; I disagree. If they were banned, there would be fewer of them in times to come and eventually they would be gone. We're just a short-sighted society (species) and incapable of thinking in the long term. Nothing will come of the efforts at gun regulation, I'm fairly sure; on this issue America is too far gone in its love affair with guns and violence, even long term I don't ever see that changing.

Well,
My ancestors were Vikings. My bloodline runs long.
It is the epitome of stupidity to be disarmed.
It is evil to want to disarm people.
Once again,
THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.

Huh?
I agreed with Sig not a couple hours ago.
You can't keep walking in here and saying, oh, you're obviously one sided and biased, and then a few posts later say oh, I see you're neutral and being civil. What is that? You're gonna give me another complex.
This whole thread has been about accusations about creepy "stroking" business. I could stand to not have to read the word "stroking" for a couple of days.

Yanno, y'all could, seriously... stop lying.
That might add to things a little.
You want em banned, say so, don't dance around and hedge and pretend that isn't your intention when it obviously is, that seriously gets up my back.
I offered a very reasonable, rational proposal, none of ya wants to hear it, you want what you want and eff anyone who thinks different, which'd be fine were it not for the fact that we all but hammered certain rights into stone for very good reasons which are every bit as viable today as they were then - I categorically reject any "outdated" argument, the Fourth Amendment, ragged that it is, despite being written by folks who could have never imagined the technological advances down the road, is still every bit as applicable now as it was then, as a case in point.
The folks who wrote these amendments were extremely explicit about their intentions, why those specific rights were ennumerated and what their purpose was, there's endless discussion of it in their own words, which is of course instantly cast aside or ignored when it becomes inconvenient to the extremely biased and often offensive arguments I've seen from both sides.
But one thing for sure, the absolute hypocrisy flagrantly displayed by those who've argued for deliberate infringement of a Constitutional right has not at all impressed me in regards to their credibility, veracity, or trustworthiness, rather more the opposite, because boiled down past all the double talk and the me-first and but-that's-different, when you get right down to the bedrock bottom of it, comes to two words I don't take well from anyone.
"OR ELSE."
How ironic, cause it's that very sentiment and the necessary ability to resist it which got that Amendment hammered in there to begin with, and if I ever doubted how force of any kind is a deterrent the treatment Anthony received on this topic is more than enough evidence thereof, as he is perceived as a too nice to verbally retaliate in the fashion I most certainly would, and look where that went.
I think we're done here.

Heh.
Frem and I have our differences. Hatred even.
But I agree with him on this one.
Gun-control freaks want to take away your ability to resist.

Government doctors' demand kitchen knives ban
Government doctors say knives are too pointed
A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing.
A team from West Middlesex University Hospital said violent crime is on the increase - and kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings.
They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.
The research is published in the British Medical Journal.
The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.
They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.
None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed.
