>>Emmit King, a former olympian and NCAA track superstar in the 1980s, was killed in a shootout with another man on Sunday in Bessemer, Alabama. He was 62.

Police said they responded to the scene of a shooting around 3:40 p.m. on Sunday, where they found King and another man, Willie Albert Wells, of Birmingham, suffering from gunshot wounds, according to local NBC affiliate WVTM 13.

Both men died of their injuries, the Jefferson County Coroner's Office confirmed on Monday.<<

They both won and lost the argument. Great day for good guys with guns and the worst day for good guys with guns.

We've had guns in the country for 250 years and have had plenty of shootouts during that time. We also have prospered as a country during that time, more so than any country on earth. So, maybe the occasional shootout is good for society and the country. Let's not fix that which is not broken.

I :heart; Q

Here's the gun they had 250 years ago...



Fast forward...



Yup, these two things are essentially the same Pabs says.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

That reminds me of the laser printers, cell phones, TVs, and internet we had back when freedom of speech/press were written into the 1st amendment.

Hey Rusty, you turn in your guns yet? Of course not........you thrive off hypocrisy.

You first.

I'm not against guns, I'm against dumb people with guns. And I shoot muzzle loaders too so I've got the bases covered.

Well, we know you support defunding the police....which is dumb

We know you still think the vaccine will stop the spread, and if everyone would just take the stab, the government will allow us to get back to normal.....also dumb

And we know that you actually think...this time around...that socialism will work, and cheer on the eventual communism it leads too...super dumb

So yeah man, when you turning in your guns?

I support abolishing and prosecuting the police, Obie.

I think we've beaten the Vax horse near to death, so suffice to say I'm fully vaccinated and I don't care that you aren't.

Socialism does and will work, and if you don't believe me ask the Chinese who are the ascendant world power. I don't cheer that, I only recognize it; and laugh when in one breath you people claim socialism/communism always fails yet proclaim we must beware the CCP who are replacing the USA in influence around the world. LOL

So yeah, as long as cops and fascists are armed, I'm keeping my guns.

(1) If you count genocide and complete disregard for individual liberties as working, then your standards are pretty skewed, but you can have it.



(2) And it would seem the cops and fascists in China are pretty well armed, whereas the citizens are not, so you're headed straight back to (1) above with that failed logic.

A dog does catch his tail every now and then, and finds out it hurts when he does.

I guess I'm going to go and get my quick draw training refreshed.
