Boston Marathon attack

Canuck posted: Guns are illegal here except for the police but the criminals don't seem to have any trouble getting them and even if the police use them there is a whole procedure they have to undergo regarding discharging of their weapon to see if it was absolutely necessary. Sometimes it seems as though the criminals get treated better than those trying to uphold the law

That's an impression held by law abiding people the world over.

Bob that's the impression I have been under as well, is it not so?

Right, okay car keys, wallet, cell what have I forgotten? oh yeah! loaded weapon.

Correct.

Well... I'm assuming you're a law abiding person but as you appear to be defining yourself under another category so be it. So that'll be law abiding people and pontalba the bankrobber.

 

[Conscious Bob]

Correct.

Brent you see pontalba you know what to do...

Ha ha.
Didn't think it was necessary to define myself as a law abiding citizen.
If I want to buy a gun I have to go to a legitimate dealer, be checked out by the seller, and register a weapon.
A robber, as far as I can tell is under no such restrictions. So, their weapon is essentially untraceable.
My question was, is that not correct.
But, since sarcasm is your weapon of choice, don't bother.

Just hand yourself in to the authorities.

I think misrepresenting people or otherwise slandering them is intolerable in any forum, whether it be in jest, or sarcasm, or misguided humor or whatever. The slanderous printed word can be believed by people not sensitive to the nuances of meaning and the misimpression can never be straightened out. Rumors fly on the wind, the truth plods slowly behind.

I STRONGLY request moderator intervention and deletion of the offending posts.

They are a plague in violation of any standards of conduct on any forum, even this one.

If you can't play nice then don't play at all.. don't want to have to close the thread down and start deleting posts.

That mean me?

 

[pontalba]

I think some should be deleted. They are slanderous, and I have reported them as such.

 

[Brent W]

No one in particular. All adults behind those computers. Just remember that.

 

[Conscious Bob]

I've certainly not made any slanderous posts.

 

[sparkchaser]

Great. I missed all the fun. Damn you sleep.

If I still lived in the hood, I'd probably have a C&C permit and a Glock.
