It seems fewer and fewer Americans are owning more and more guns, to the point where 1% of the people on the planet own 33% of the guns...
Jones exhibited every one of the mania symptoms described earlier during his eight minute interview.
 
Yes Alex Jones is perfectly sane.... Bildeberg group controlling all the nations gov, vaccine programs to kill people, "suicide pills", FEMA concentration camps, 9/11 done by Bush, SE Asia tsunami man made. Do i need to go on?

I think there's at least one poster on here who needs more proof.
 
Obviously, they guy is an idiot. And, if I did take hime seriously, I would point out that he was exactly the kind of person that guns should be kept from.

This was just some more sensationalism and craziness these media whores strive for.

He gives a bad name to the sensible "pro-gun" people.

Don't think for a second that whackozoid represents me. If I thought he was for realz, I would not only approve of his gun rights being taken away but I would also recommend a rubber room to put him in to keep him from hurting himself or others.
 
Thank goodness the guy wasn't armed during the interview.....I honestly believe Pers might have been in serious trouble.

Folks like Jones convince me that military semi automatic assault weapons and extended capacity clips or magazines should be banned from the civilians in America and those which are out there should be collected and donated to the military....they need them.

Don't misunderstand me....I was in the military and ever since 1958 I've owned guns. Right now I have a .38 S&W Chief's Special, a semi automatic 12 gauge Remington shotgun and a .30 .30 Marlin rifle. None of them are capable of firing 100 rounds in less than a minute.

I don't know anyone who can squeeze a trigger 100 times in less than a minute either......
 
The absurd thing here is how easy it is to prove you wrong: Generosity. Done. Now let's stop with the making up nonsense and pretending it's true.

Very generous people are sometimes assumed to be suicidal......

If you did, you'd have to ask his wife if he had that kind of rapid-fire finger action when he flicks her bean.
 
You're right but he owns 50 guns. That's what makes the guy dangerous.

The NRA is the modern day Ku Klux Klan. This nation needs to get some therapy for it's "Cowboy Complex"

So you are saying the NRA wants to go around killin' negros and negro supporters?

I think you are more like Alex Jones than you realize.

That's a specific behavior ("willing" away one's possessions while still alive) associated with a specific symptom (suicidal ideation) of a multitude of disorders, rather than the trait generosity being associated with a psychological disorder.

Generosity as a trait is not, in any way, associated with a psychological disorder, however.
 
I don't know anyone who can squeeze a trigger 100 times in less than a minute either......

Seriously?

Well, that may be true as we have never met.

If the gun can handle it, I KNOW I can pull a trigger at least twice in one second. That adds up to 120 RPM.

Lemme see.... <sets stopwatch..> 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and.... Yup, I'm SURE I can squeeze off at least 100 RPM's. But that would require a pretty big and heavy clip. Not sure I could hit the side of a barn with it but I could surely pull the trigger faster than a cat can lick it's ass.

So your finger has that level of endurance?

Pulling a trigger twice in a second is fine........

I can run a mile in 7 minutes..... But I can't keep that pace up for 10 miles..........

See what I am getting at chief?

Maybe "assumed." But I think Tucker Case put it in perspective.

I am generous to a fault. (Just ask my wife.) The thought of suicide has never entered my mind. Ever. Period. I love life and the thought of dying scares me to death. I want to live forever.

Anyone who ever "assumes" I am suicidal, is just plain wrong.

Unless he had fifty arms and hands he is no more no less dangerous than someone with 1 or 2 guns.

This is why anti-2nd amendment whack jobs make Alex Jones pale in comparison.

That does not seem to be the case.
U.S. most armed country with 90 guns per 100 people | Reuters
U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.
About 4.5 million of the 8 million new guns manufactured worldwide each year are purchased in the United States, it said.

The issue here is that there is a behavior associated with suicidal ideation and tendencies that involves giving away one's possessions. This behavior, however, is not caused by the trait of generosity. It's incorrect to claim that the person is being "overly generous" in such a context.

Roger that Caine. I get you loud and clear. Surely, the gun's trigger tension would be a factor.

But you have to keep in mind that my fingers pick Geddy Lee type bass runs almost nonstop, for one hour, before taking a break. And I do this for three hours per show. I'm positive I can squeeze off a minimum of two pulls per second for at least a minute, if not an hour.

But, to your credit, you DID say "No one you ever met," and we have not, in fact, met sir.

It would require a big MAG, not clip. and you wouldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

Yes, I am aware of this. People who suddenly start giving their posessions away, we should be concerned with.

I share. I help folks out. (Just yesterday, I drove all the way to Escanaba, MI (8 hour round trip) just to pick up a friend there who was stranded.) I have been this way all my life. My wife always nags at me about this.

She is right. I should start doing more for myself and less for others. But that's just the way the Good Lord made me. Can't help it.

What's a good ol' Mason boy s'posed to do?

Tomato, to-mah-to.

The "magazine," as you call it, on my rifle is detachable.

I was raised calling the internal storage of ammunition within a rifle the "magazine."

Appearantly, the definition is controversial. But I think we all know what I am talking about just the same, no?


A magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a repeating firearm. Magazines may be integral to the firearm (fixed) or removable (detachable). The magazine functions by moving the cartridges stored in the magazine into a position where they may be loaded into the chamber by the action of the firearm. The detachable magazine is often controversially referred to as a clip.[1][2] <snip>

Its just another way for Democrats to get their social welfare programs.


Consider it "self-service" program.

Funny you mentioned that. I have a relative that is the definition of an Obama hater. He's is the stereotypical, trailer home dwelling, rebel flag waving, liberal hating, John Wayne worshipping redneck. Yet, he hasn't held a job for longer than nine months in his entire 50 years of living on this planet. All jobs combined, I doubt he has in a total of working 4-5 years his entire life. He gets food stamps. Rent subsidies. Free medical. A total welfare case.

He fails to see the hypocracy in his ideology. I just shake my head at him and say, "But for the grace of God go I."

He kind of reminds me of this guy....

Yes magazines can be fixed and internal, fixed and external, and detachable. Keyword in the last sentence- controversially. just helping ya on the path to not sounding like every other smuck who thinks he knows enough to comment on just what he can do with firearms.

Just between us, not many can yank their trigger twice a second, most of those who can don't hit crap.
