100%

Some time, some place, by someone, some where.

A Korean composite bow, dismountable. A truly venomous little beast, and easy to smuggle.

Catapults don't kill people, it is those big frickin rocks that do.

Classy...and probably a bit less of a handful to carry around.

Actually it did happen in Anniston, Alabama, in 1999. Two gunmen rounded up everyone in the place and were marching them to the freezer when a customer with a gun killed the two perps. The only innocent harmed was the hero himself, who received a minor wound.

Also here in Salt Lake City three years ago a gunman started killing people at trolley square. He was stopped, and killed, by an armed citizen. The hero in this case was an off-duty police officer, but it could have been any competent person with a weapon.

nice job Virginia...Just what we need... alcohol and guns. Just when I thought clubs were dangerous enough. Now you can LEGALLY carry a gun to shoot me with out back.

All this is just to make the Neo cons happy. I remember them trying to pass a law that allowed Guns to be legally stored in cars on college campuses in Michigan. The republican congressmen thought it was a great idea! The 3 chiefs of police for MSU, U of M, and CMU thought it was a terrible idea. but the congressmen just kept on talking. When cops think its a bad idea...then it probably is. Im sure the "wonderful" new law in Virginia is no exception.

Y'know, saying "please" and "thank you" is usually enough to keep the waitress from spitting in your coffee.

As soon as you break out terms like that, you're putting yourself in the same category as Rush Limbaugh. The only difference is that you're on the other side.
