What are the penalties for owners of guns who have them stolen and used in crimes. For example if the mother of the scumbag in Conneticut had lived would she be facing any charges? It seems all the guns this guy had were legally purchased by his mother. The problem was she didnt have them unaccesible to her son. I fail to see where mental helth checks on him would have kept those guns out of his hands. I dont know what the answer is to stop these shootings but I think we all can agree something has to change.

It varies state to state but in most cases if someone gains access to your guns you can be charged for it.

Supposed to have the some of the "toughest" gun-control measures in the country (and right in our fearless leader's back yard, no less), yet...

Chicago reaches 500 homicides with fatal shooting

 

..CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago has logged its 500th homicide of 2012.

The last time the city reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. Last year, city records show Chicago had 435 homicides.

On Thursday, officials with the Chicago Police Department said the city was one homicide away from the 500 mark. Hours later, a 40-year-old man was fatally shot in the Austin neighborhood on the city's West Side. Police say Nathaniel Jackson was found on the sidewalk outside a convenience store with a gunshot wound to the head late Thursday.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says Jackson was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital early Friday.

Jackson's death remains under investigation. No arrests have been made.

I carry a gun! Ho Ho Ho! I'm a man!

That's all what it is about.

You are so far out of touch with reality it's not even funny. Starting to actually feel a little sorry for you after reading your beliefs in this thread. It's mind blowing that someone can express opinion/belief such as yours.

 

Most people that carry a gun do not want people to know they have it. That's what conceal carry is about. You can walk by 50 people with a gun and you won't efven know it. It's not what you see on tv, there are not people marching around with weapons drawn pointing up in the air discharging rounds.

Take a break from tv/news misinformation and snap into reality for a little bit, you can learn something.

Just to remind everyone. Be nice. Having discussion is good, but if it gets out of hand........ the thread will get locked.

 

So everyone keep their cool and think twice about what you might post.

Taking away my rights to save one child isn't ok. That's just garbage. Gun owners have already made concessions to the anti's for years and we know them as gun laws. And tons of them exist. Maybe we should enforce the laws that already exist....

High capacity mags don't kill people.

Inanimate objects like guns don’t kill people.

Last time I looked... people killed people.

Shame some can't see the difference. Truly.

Take away our right to firearms and your right to free speech may be next.... As I read earlier in this thread, the amendments were not written in stone. I'd be cautious about giving up any rights... no matter how much you may not like it.

Hey doug_scott;

 

I would give you more support than just by "liking" your posts.

But it would result in coarse language and not benefit the argument.

 

Be assured that you're the only one who makes 100% sense...common sense if you like.

I would disagree with you. Common sense it is not... looks more like a lack of understanding.

 

Just my opinion.

That's all you can come up with?

No wonder that you need to carry a gun (concealed of course) and even make it your profession.

Don't say that j10. This man protects you for a living. Whether you agree with him or not is one thing, but LEO's deserve respect for their job, not disdain.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
