    Gun control

    You imply that if the would-be assaulters had a gun that instead of the conflict being stopped, it might have escalated to deadly force (as though tire-irons are not already deadly when used as a weapon) but the truth here is this: If the assaulters had been willing to continue the conflict...

    "The Human Stun Gun" on Ripley's Believe It or Not

    I was watching Ripley's Believe it or Not, and now they're apparently doing a profile on "The Human Stun Gun," who you may remember as the overweight gentleman who got embarrassed when he couldn't demonstrate his no-touch knockout technique on anyone outside of his group of "students." These...

    Human Stun Gun

    Browsing a website i tend to check out every day, I came across this (possibly not safe for work) link: http://media.mensix.com/Death-Touch.php The martial arts instructor in the video, Tom Cameron, claims to be able to knock people out using pressure points, and on top of that, be able to...

    The first gun control thread of the new forum and it's mine

    From this thread I take issue with this. I think that the interest is in reducing the soverignty of the individual at the expense of government. "Innocents" are a fator that is blithly ignored when studies show that the drawing of a gun absent any violence often leads to a perp skulking away...

    Gaussian Gun

    How does it work? Perhaps he explains it, but I don't have sound. At the start, there is a magnet in the centre with four bearings immediately to the left of it and a single one at the right end. This single bearing is pushed slowly towards the magnet. The end result is that the single bearing...

    Gun deaths cut in half, StatsCan says

    The risk of death by gunshot has been cut in half in Canada and is far smaller than in the United States, Statistics Canada says. Soooo... Why do you think the risk of death by gunshot has been halved in Canada?

    Cost of Gun Deductible for Robber's Take

    In January, a judge in Breda, Netherlands, officially ruled that a 46-year-old bank robber, who stole money worth the equivalent of US$8,400, could only be charged with a crime worth about US$6,100 because the court had to let the man offset the equivalent of US$2,300 that he paid for his gun...

    Gun Control

    I notice that “discussions” of the various aspects of gun control tend to get rather contentious…. I plan to muddy the water even further with my thoughts: I admit to having rather ambiguous notions on this issue. I’m a police officer; in the biz for 30+ years. I’m also a weapons...

    Seven verified DGUs and a question for gun control proponents

    There have been numerous claims made on this board by gun control advocates about instances of DGU (defensive gun use) and how it's much more likely that the person will be killed by his own gun or has little hope of outshooting the attacker. So, here, I present seven examples of successful...
