gun control

Joe is different, possibly drunk. I like it.

Joe, you are in. Your additions to the colony will be appreciated.

My dad has a refrigerator of Blatz beer and 15 year old playboys that will complete our preparations.

You have to add me! Genetic diversity, sensible liberal ideology, and I'll be "The Professor" like character that every survival show needs.. But I refuse to be the token Black/ethnic that dies first.. I die second-to-last saving the remaining White characters, likely a couple, because I wasn't acceptable to the audience as the leading man...

 

[Man Called X]

I'm in. Because.. Every group needs a lunatic that will commit felonies.

 

[Tornicade]

They only stockpiling weapons here because the moon is full and they are still waiting for the mars pipeline to open up

Shit, if we're going with cookie cutter stereotype characters like this, then I'm the smart-ass guy who starts of telling the story of the legend of ______. Then I walk off into the woods to take a piss and come back to the group making creepy sounds and trying to scare them...when 10 minutes into the film I get filleted like a fish with some kind of sharp instrument.

The audience moves on from me very quickly.

Gour, you are in. Ever since you agreed to be my "black friend" that I could reference every time I made a racial faux pas, you have been granted level 1 security clearance. Also, you have a tone for tone voice match of Bomani Jones from Around The Horn, which only helps your case.

X, you will only be loosely associated with the underground colony. You will be like the Amish Mafia of our group. We will outwardly deny any involvement with your actions, but you will be compensated for carrying out "jobs" for the good of the group.

 

[The Oi]

What will he be compensated with? And will we prevent him from working full time so that he's nit eligible for benefits? We'll need him to clock in and out.

 

[Surge]

Oh, I didn't tell you? That's where you come in...

 

[The Oi]

Oh, I didn't tell you? That's where you come in...

So I'll be forcing your head down again this time?

Close. Ended a mini dry spell. Got a lil of that ole swag daddy back.

Can I be the Bill Murray who gets killed off while dressed like a zombie?

Oh, to the gun enthusiasts in this thread. I'm looking to pick up a handgun, any suggestions? I've gone to the range and my favorite that I've shot was the Colt M1911 A1. Thing is, .45 ammo seems to be pricey. Is there anyway someone can save money on ammo?

If I do pick a gun out, where would you suggest I go to make the purchase? There is a gun shop near me but I suspect their guns are overpriced.

Sure.. I have several guns back home in Ohio.. Absolutely love firearms. I'm no expert by any stretch, but I can try to answer your question. How I see it, it really depends on what you want. Something functional (usually my course of thinking), something designer, or an antique or historic piece? You want power, comfort/ease of use, or something with a combination of both yet easily concealed?

I've gone to the range and my favorite that I've shot was the Colt M1911 A1. Thing is, .45 ammo seems to be pricey. Is there anyway someone can save money on ammo?

To be honest, I tend to go for 9mm semi-autos because they are generally easier to shoot, small, concealable, and in the case of an emergency I know I can get plenty of ammunition. I don't own a .45, so I couldn't really offer any advise.

I'm more into rifles though, particularly the AR-15 system which is a hobby in itself.

If I do pick a gun out, where would you suggest I go to make the purchase? There is a gun shop near me but I suspect their guns are overpriced.

Last time I was in Cleveland I remember there being a gun shop near Randall Park on Northfield or Warrensville.. Not sure which..

An Idaho "Gun Violence" Story for the Huffington Post

"We're working on a project to document the nationwide impact of gun violence, and we need your help," explained the Huffington Post editorial collective in an e-mail to their "readers in Idaho." "If you or someone you know has ever been affected by gun violence, we want to hear your story."

Eagerly accepting their invitation, I sent them the following account of gun violence, which they will almost certainly decline to use.

Dear Huffington Post:

My name is William Grigg, and I’m a resident of Payette, Idaho. I wish to share with you an infuriating story illustrating the impact of gun violence on two people who are quite close to me. What is particularly infuriating is the fact that the perpetrators and their whereabouts are known to authorities, but nothing has been done to punish them.

Michael Gibbons, known as “Bear,” and his wife Marcella Cruz are organic farmers who live in a tiny village called Letha, Idaho. Last August 16 Marcella was dragged out of her home by an armed stranger who left the small, slender woman covered in bruises. Bear was treated in much the same way, suffering a severe back injury that left him unable to harvest their fall crop. While the two were held at gunpoint, several armed men invaded their home in the hope of stealing their property. They eventually lost tens of thousands of dollars as a result of that armed invasion of their property, which was carried out by the Gem County Sheriff’s Office.

The August 16 attack on Bear and Marcella was triggered by a malicious false report of “domestic violence” by an antagonistic neighbor. A few days earlier, the same sheriff’s office had responded to a legitimate domestic violence call in the same neighborhood involving an armed, drunken husband. In that case, they sent a single deputy and a social worker, and allowed the husband to leave without being handcuffed or otherwise humiliated. In the case of Bear and Marcella, however, the Sheriff staged a SWAT-style raid in which the supposed victim was assaulted by a Deputy (Detective Rich Perecz, who has a previous violent offense in his criminal record), Bear was handcuffed, and an illegal search of the home was made in the hope of finding narcotics evidence that could be used as an excuse to forfeit (that is, steal) the property.

Why were Bear and Marcella singled out for such abusive treatment? According to recorded radio traffic among the deputies, the paramilitary raid was carried out because Bear had been politically profiled as a “Constitutionalist” – which meant that in the interests of “officer safety,” SWAT tactics would be employed. Although the illegal search didn’t turn up a molecule of evidence that either Bear or Marcella was growing or trafficking marijuana, Bear was eventually cited for possession of drug “paraphernalia” – an old coffee can.

By any rational definition of the expression, this criminal assault was an example of “gun violence” of a kind that advocates of civilian disarmament rarely, if ever, protest. By one estimate, as many as 80,000 SWAT raids take place in the United States every year --or about 220 a day. Almost all of them are carried out against non-violent offenders, many of whom are terrified, innocent people like Bear and Marcella. And those atrocities are committed by the people to whom the Huffington Post editorial collective, and like-minded civilian disarmament advocates, would give a monopoly on firearms ownership.

I don't know much about guns, but when I went to BW in Berea for college; there was a gun show at least once a year at the fairgrounds. I never attended, but I remember seeing signs for them.

Also, if the Bunker Boys need a tinkerer/inventor/medicine man for their crew then you know where to find me.
