point a pellet rifle or handgun at a police officer, and he will blow your ass way. justifiably.

point it at a cop..and you're a dead man.

That's not because it's a dangerous weapon, but because it looks like one. A cop would not be justified in shooting someone if they knew it was a pellet gun.
 
and that, is a lie.

may i ask you show us a picture of you holding a box of bullets or a real firearm instead of showing us some old war trophy rounds from your grandfathers closet.

sure they would.

if you are holding a hammer, and refuse to put it down, a cop can kill you.
 
Not trying to defend NYC but that goes on in just about every major metropolis I am told (by some very credible people.) Job reviews, promotions and management decicions are often made on such stats. They can also be manipulated in the other direction if the politicians do not give the department the monetary rewards they desire, thus possibly causing the politician to stand in the unemployment line. They have them by the shorthairs.

The system is fundamentally flawed. Most cops are good cops and they don't like it anymore than you or I do. But they gotta eat and feed their family too.

True, but then who is pressured how much and in which ways.

I'm under pressure to do a together thing with Mrs. Thicket at the moment. I'd like to return to this later re: what Arizona has discovered a year after its CCW law.

Maybe Thunder should paint the end of that thing orange. LOL!

you are under the strange impression, that I give a flying **** about your misconceptions about what I know about firearms.

I used to have a collection of roach clips that looked like that. Does anyone know what the shelf life is to a high velocity shell? I have boxes I bought 5 years ago that I have yet to open.

What impresses me more than a photo of someone standing in the kitchen holding an AK-47 looking all bad-ass is pictures like this.....

One shot. One kill.

After the pellet gun pic, I'd say the chances of any of those having an actual powder charge in them are pretty slim.

well, we can find that out...can't we?

I shook em'. They have powder.

But no, I'm not gonna open them to enable your silly attempts to provoke & annoy.

if the rounds were kept in a safe quite a while,my brother buys world war two surplus rounds for his mosen nagant rifle,they seem to work just fine.the green in that picture is from the brass being exposed too long to the elements,and from being exposed that long more than likely the powder would have absorbed enough moisture to cause a possible misfire or delayed fire.
 
You got me Thunder.

I cannot tell a lie.

I use a compound bow. 67 lb. pull. PST

Judging by the fact the last pic you showed is bb gun and these things that look like you dug up from someone's yard I would you are very scared of guns. Do those bullets still have powder in them?
 
Eh, perhaps we agree on certain general principles, but the devil is in the details.

A lot of your argument has been about straw purchase of multiple guns for sale illegally in states/cities where guns are heavily restricted.

Please go back and review my posts. It appears you have confused my position and my posts with someone else.

I did not make such arguments.

Rabid fox that attacked my son on our porch.


Shot at 24 yards with a .40 pocket pistol with a 3.5" barrel, while the fox was running laterally to my line of fire. One shot.
