Lost my Gun, What should I do?
Better call nine, one, one…..
A. You tell me! Should it be illegal to walk into Dover Mall with a gun and pop in a 30 round clip?
Yes, it should. Vote for HB 58…
B. You tell me! Should it be perfectly legal to have a gun with a 30 round clip on a shooting range where it won’t hurt anyone?
Yes, it should. Vote for HB 58…
C. You tell me! Should it be perfectly legal to have a gun with a 30 round clip in ones home, as protection against forced entry?
Yes, it should. Vote for HB 58…
The only reason a misguide legislator could ever find to vote AGAINST .. HB 58, would be if he wished… TO SEE PEOPLE DIE! This law protects gun owners and changes nothing for anyone owning a clip over 10 rounds.. However this new law will make high capacity clips illegal in public places other than a shooting range… That is a very good idea. Genius in fact.
I was just challenged by the owner of a gun blog to illustrate how well gun control works.
Challenge Accepted.
US = no gun control == 14078 gun homicides==0.00446% of the population==. 4.69 per 100000
Somalia = no gun control== 138 gun homicides==0.0000138% of the population==1.38 per 100,000
Yeman = no gun control== 990 homicides (by any means)==0.0000413% = 4.304 per 100,000 (this total includes deaths by swords, stonings, long curved knives and guns).
==============
Japan = good gun control == 11 gun homicides== 0.00000866% of population == 0 per 100,000
S. Korea = good gun control ==14 gun homicides == 0.0000290% of population == 0 per 100,000
Spain = good gun control == 67 gun homicides == 0.0000565% of population == 0 per 100,000
Finally, Australia. a single country on both sides of the spectrum! One that had no gun control, then passed legislation which controlled guns. In similar terms out of 100,000, it went from a high ratio of 4.71 to 1.06…. Gun control where you make it illegal to own a military grade weapon works deliciously well…
Now, Mike W. Prove how homicides go down when you give everyone a gun … Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…
The stupid NRA has their head wedged so far up their butt, I bet it hurts bad when they try to sit down…
” Benghazi.Benghazi.Benghazi.Benghazi.Benghazi.”
OH SHUT UP YOU STUPID OLD FARTS!
Isn’t that far more important? 137 accidental shootings because we can’t responsibly handle weapons of mass destruction?
137/ 57 fatal Guns in the US are the log in our eye. Meanwhile we try to take splinters out of the eyes of others!
And we’re wasting yet another day of Congress to rehash what the last 17 hearings on the same topic have dug up? One that killed just 4 Americans in a terrorist ambush, something of which we have no control over? And we want to get down to the bottom of who is to blame? But 137 actual shootings occur, and these same people drink champagne and eat caviar while whooping and rejoicing that background checks got defeated?
We have got to rid ourselves of these outdated farting Republicans, either one way or another….. Maybe give them some Beano. For heavens sake, let’s get our nation’s priorities in order.
There is a dual application of interpretation going on. The new head of the NRA James Porter, an attorney who defends gun manufactures in lawsuits, is quoted as calling our president a fake president; he once termed the Civil War of Southern Disobedience, as the “War of Northern Aggression,”; he believes that one of our highest priorities should be to train and arm all our citizens so that, when the time comes, they can “fight tyranny” and impose their will upon the rest of the population; who believes white is right, brown goes down, and guns are the way to achieve that end…..
He is now the new head of the NRA, an organization once dedicated to outdoor sportsmen and hunters.
If he were Muslim, he’d be under surveillance for fear of blowing up people at a Marathon.. James Porter’s words are more inciteful than any mullah.
Either we back off all Muslims, or we treat the NRA as we would Al Qaeda under Osama Bin Laden….
Not to do so is simply continuing a double standard…..
The NRA … IS the new Muslim…. Anyone who condones Newtown Connecticut as a great secret United States of American plot is simply put, … untrustworthy. It is time to round up all NRA members in put them in internment camps for observation just as we did for the Japanese during WWII..

Although it was not as they envisioned. The gun was brought inside a backpack of a middle school aged child. Relax, no one died. He was a good kid and never had any intention of using it. Just thought it was super cool and wanted to show it off along with the ammo to his friends… (He didn’t even know it was a real gun.)
The 13 year old as of Friday was being held in the New Castle County Juvenile Detention Center on $39,000 secured bail. And the courts will determine the severity of his penalty.
Of course parents are concerned. In typical parental fashion they said…. “we need metal detectors at every school. .
So, let us work through that premise. Start with how can that be done? Electronic metal detectors are expensive, and we have a lot of schools. Currently the Department of Educations website is listing 213 schools... Now for economic reasons, we would at first need only one security site or pass-through site per building, through which everyone enters, and everyone leaves… Once the initial investment is paid for, then incremental units at other entrances and exits can be later added.
So the number is 213 security machines… Here at Detectronix we have an assortment of walk through metal detectors. Since most of our state’s students are familiar with jails from visiting family members, perhaps the one that is most secure for our schools would the same brand use for jails, sensitive enough to detect a loaded revolve inserted up the anus or vagina. That costs $4199. However, recognizing a future need after the December 14th Newtown shootings, Detectronix has made a commitment to mass produce a cheaper version which will pick up a hand gun and pinpoint it to a general area of the body. That reduced rate is $2499. This cheaper version is more than adequate to isolate incoming weapons, in all but the most sophisticated ploys. Considering the savings, it is the one I would recommend, the Detectronix 6-Zone Walk Through Metal Detector …
Total state cost for walk-through metal detectors? Pretty cheap, just a half a million or exactly $532,500… ($894387 would be the more expensive choice) This does not include the fee charged for the entity that places the phone call, at 10% that would be another $53,250 dollars….
A electroinic security system needs to be manned to be effective. Otherwise it could beep on every student passing through with no accountability. One must assume the station should be manned all day. Even though nothing much happens at any schools entrance after the opening bell, still, if one were intent on bringing a gun to school for say, the purpose of revenge. he would obviously time his arrival at some point after he knew the metal detector was shut down. So personnel must be stationed until close.
The average school day is 7 hours… Multiplied by 5 days per week and it is a thirty five hour job, add half an hour every day to set up and tear down, and it becomes a full time position. At salary it averages $39,000 per year. Add the FICA and supplementary benefits costs, the total package runs to: $40,677 per school…. If contracted out to a guard service, the average rate if including fees and contract costs, averages close to $50 per hour used. The contracts per year would range around $78,000 per school… but at the benefit that all liability falls upon the service and not the educational department of the state of Delaware.
So for manning these position, Delaware has two options, government versus private, and as it always works out in everything in life, government is the cheaper. $8,664,201 versus $16,614,000
So for a minimum of $8,664,201 a year in personnel costs plus the $532,500 in buying and installing the metal detectors, the first year estimate for that should be close to $9.200,000 dollars with $8,664,201 being spent every year thereafter.
If this is levied to property owners, the average property owner will be charged, of course assuming that Senior Citizens don’t get out of the fee for policies they support, the fee is $0.0001 per square foot or one/hundredith of a penny per square foot. {$8,664,201/(2490 X 27,878,400)} If one exempts state land, or makes other exemptions, that cost will rise per private property owner as is to be expected. …
Or if one wishes to allocate that cost per resident, then the assessment rounds up to {$8,664,201 / 917,000} = $9.44 per inhabitant. That is the price of security. A family of 4 should be willing to ante up $37.79 dollars for keeping children safe…
But, the argument gets quickly raised, as it does with money, … shouldn’t those responsible for creating the problem be the ones to pay for its solution? Those would be owner of guns. We can’t publish the amounts for confidentiality reasons. But the gross sales of Miller’s Gunshop alone as reported this quarter to the Delaware Dept of Revenue, argues that a fair assessment on all gun and ammunition sales at at sales tax rate of 10% would be more than adequate to cover implementing the security of all of Delaware’s schools.
The $8 million a year should not out of a child’s education. It should come from those those actions are the direct creation of the problem in the first place.
So lets securitize our schools, and make the NRA and all gun owners pay for it… Fair is simply fair. If we had a registry of all weapons in this country, we wouldn’t be having this problem. As history will one day determine, the fault lies with no one but the NRA that this common sense legislation was never implemented …..

The future looks dark ….(man I tried, but there was just no way I could let that thought go without saying that, lol)…..

Just the amount of the increase in gun sales since we got ourselves the best President ever, is more than all the guns sold during the Bush Administration….
If you currently have investments in American (or foreign) gun manufactures, time go get out is now. With such a glut on the market, who is going to buy a new household gun anytime after 2016 when the president is again white? You’ll be able to get them for free on Craigslist….
And, on a completely unrelated topic, with all those guns now out there, without establishing a registry how on earth are we going to keep from having a gigantic bloodbath at some future point? Just imagine if we didn’t have any laws, registration, or insurance pertaining to cars, what a mess we’d have now?
Gun Registry is common sense and one day will be put into action. It is similar to all the great things this nation has done, like freeing the slaves, banning desegregation, breaking apart monopolies, banning tobacco inside of buildings; it is just one of those common sense things that will eventually rise through the filters and become the law of the land.
Without the NRA being so stupid, I don’t think I’d have ever come to that conclusion independently…. So maybe it is a good thing they are daft with brains as smart as pigeons placed inside of boxes…..
Adolphus A. Busch IV, heir to the Anheuser-Busch beer fortune, resigned his lifetime NRA membership last night in a blistering two-page letter that called the gun lobby nothing but a corporate shill!
Acknowledging the NRA is nothing but a overused scummy prostitute, Mr. Busch asks these questions….
A) Why did the NRA reverse its original position on background checks?
B) How can the NRA disregard the overwhelming will of its members?
C) How do assault weapons and large capacity magazines have any role in the original NRA vision?
D) The NRA I see today has completely, unequivocally, and undeniably undermined the values upon which it was established….
E) Your current strategic focus clearly places priority on the needs of gun and ammunition manufacturers while disregarding as irrelavent the opinions of your 4 million individual members.”
So for people like Dan Short, State Senator in favor of guns, as well as for those who sneak off to another state to shoot pigeons in boxes, here is the simple math….
Budweiser = real manly man.
Budweiser ≠ NRA
Real manly man ≠ NRA
Therefore NRA = sexless impotent men who wear Victoria Secrets finest under their pants.
Boo NRA people…. no one fears you anymore. You are just a concubine good for only one thing….
So bend over.
Delaware passes a common sense bill that does nothing to violate the 2nd Amendment Rights of anyone who would have easily passed a simple background check.
This bill does make it harder for a criminal to buy a gun from a gun show where no questions are asked… That is all.
The NRA and it’s yipping Pomeranian were unable to win against this good common sense bill The NRA has begun yelling and calling us all crazy. The joke is on them. We know from simply watching Wayne LaPierre and seeing Sigler shoot pigeons in boxes, that they are truly the crazy ones.
Hat’s off to all who got out of the way and let logic take its course….
Background checks. About time.
