Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / August 2006so OT it might as be Gaelic to the true tifosi
But I dare anybody to tell me to take it elsewhere. Because I got the Mossberg catalog today. Pump action, baby! Coming soon to your local morgue. Anyway, for those of you who are true Led Zeppelin aficionados, you MUST pick up the 3-disc live set "How The West Was Won". You won't believe what you are hearing. > But I dare anybody to tell me to take it elsewhere. Because I got the > Mossberg catalog today. Pump action, baby! Coming soon to your local > morgue.

Does Roger know you'll be attempting anal-sex with him then? I bet it's news to him too. Now down as low as Assf*ckin' hey? That's just about your lot costello, can you really get any lower? >But I dare anybody to tell me to take it elsewhere. Because I got the >Mossberg catalog today. Pump action, baby!

Somehow that statement just doesn't feel right in a Ferrari group ;) But I guess it could be read as "Better dead than the wrong shade or Rosso Corsa" ? Best Wishes Thomas Boy, those look rather intimidating as well, nice! Probably out of my price range. > Screw Beretta. Get an FN and be done with it.

Bah, true tifosi only shoot Benelli! I shouldered the cheaper home defense model they sell (with ghost ring sights, no less) and it fit me like a charm. I figured the cash would go better elsewhere, but if ever I want a 12ga. pump for the home it's the likely winner. I still like the H&R/NEF single shots, myself. Cheap, durable, with interchangeable barrels. I still want a couple barrels for the old youth model I have. Their pump is a chinese copy of a Remington 870, but if you can allow your money to support the Chinese army then they're pretty nice for the price... -Matt- "..." Maybe some other time. For now I need good old rough and tumble, Prescott Arizona "home defense". The Special Purpose range is quite capable, very high quality, and a little more affordable then a Beretta. But I will look and drool, for your edification. >>But I dare anybody to tell me to take it elsewhere. Because I got the >>Mossberg catalog today. Pump action, baby!

I'm not tryting to start another anti/pro gun thing (it would be pointless anyway, there's no separating Americans from their guns), but just think what a gun might really give you if you get one. How about just spending the money on something useful instead - like some good music or fine wine? Ok, here come the 'facts' (I'm pulling on my asbestos underpants right now, so you can all put down the flamethrowers.... besides, you know I'm only saying this 'cos I care). From the New England Journal of Medicine article "Gun Ownership as a Risk Factor for Homicide in the Home" "The use of illicit drugs and a history of physical fights in the home are important risk factors for homicide in the home. Rather than confer protection, guns kept in the home are associated with an increase in the risk of homicide by a family member or intimate acquaintance." For every time a gun is used in a "home" in a legally-justifiable shooting [note that every self-defense is legally justifiable] there are 22 criminal, unintentional, and suicide-related shootings. [Kellermann AL, Somes G, Rivara FP, et al. "Injuries and deaths due to firearms in the home." The Journal of Trauma. 1998;45:263-267] The presence of a gun in the "home" triples the risk of homicide in the "home". [Kellermann, AL, Rivara, FP, Rushforth NB, et al. "Gun ownership as a risk factor for homicide in the home." N Engl J Med. 1993;329:1084-1091.] The presence of a gun in the "home" increases the risk of suicide fivefold.[Kellermann, AL Rivara FP, Somes G, et al. "Suicide in the home in relation to gun ownership." N Engl J Med. 1992;327:467-472.] Just think about, that's all... -Paul > I'm not tryting to start another anti/pro gun thing > > Just think about, that's all... > > -Paul I suspect crossing that data with other risk factors for violence in the home may bring those numbers down a bit, as there are most likely several other confounds. The mere presence of a gun does not invoke violence, it just makes whomever feels violent a little more effective than if they have to use a common steak knife that is found in most homes... Wait, you don't eat steaks, so you might not have the knives either... So they become more effective than throwing a giant bunny at someone and running the other direction. -Matt- "We consult the Book of Armaments..." > So they become more effective than throwing a giant bunny at someone > and running the other direction. You try picking him up.. > -Matt- "We consult the Book of Armaments..." Where? behind the rabbit? <<You try picking him up..>> I did. It wasn't pretty. <<Now some kid with rifle taking on the most powerful killing machine in the world (that's just invaded his country and killed his family and friends) is always 'a terrorist'. >> That's how neocon Republicans spread *democracy*. Hey, did you hear that Georgie Boy just vetoed the latest bill concerning stem cell research? The man had the nerve to say, "...in our zeal for new treatments and cures, America must never abandon our fundamental morals". All bets are off when the zeal is for oil, power and religious conversion though. <<Sad days. Such sad days. 'With great power comes great responsibility' (Spiderman. Yes, really.) >> It was Aunt May or Uncle Ben who actually said that. <<We are a society that can build an Enzo and we bomb children. Sorry.... I've just had enough of the barbarism. >> No apologies. I weep with you. C. > Hey, did you hear that Georgie Boy just vetoed the latest bill > concerning stem cell research? The man had the nerve to say, "...in > our > zeal for new treatments and cures, America must never abandon our > fundamental morals". Yep. I don't think it will last though. There seems to be a remarkable groundswell of opinion against him on this issue. > <<Sad days. Such sad days. 'With great power comes great > responsibility' > (Spiderman. Yes, really.) >> > > It was Aunt May or Uncle Ben who actually said that. I know that! (uncle Ben, in fact). I grew up with Spiderman (not literally, obviously) but if I'd just creditted the quote to 'uncle Ben' people here would have thought me even more unhinged than usual. -Paul (partially hinged, at least) << I suspect crossing that data with other risk factors for violence in the home may bring those numbers down a bit>> *A bit* means that having a gun around is still a risk factor. <<The mere presence of a gun does not invoke violence>> A gun's purpose is to kill. It is a symbol of violence. << it just makes whomever feels violent a little more effective than if they have to use a common steak knife that is found in most homes...>> That's the freakin' point!! Stabbing someone is usually an up close and personal means of killing them. You literally get blood on your hands and it's damn near impossible to kill a number of people at once with one knife. Guns make violent urges far more effective while allowing one to maintain distance from the actual damage being done. << they become more effective than throwing a giant bunny at someone and running the other direction.>> Gods, yes! Do you know how heavy that mutant bunny is?? C. >>I'm not tryting to start another anti/pro gun thing >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > So they become more effective than throwing a giant bunny at someone > and running the other direction. just the trick to kill those pesky bunnies... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/4994580.stm > -Matt- "We consult the Book of Armaments..." T308 (Five is RIGHT OUT!) I would never shoot my cats. I know you care. In answer, I found a loving song the lyrics of which I'd like to share with you. Thank you, friend. ******************************** She's not a girl who misses much Do do do do do do- oh yea! She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy Working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the National Trust I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix cause I'm going down Mother Superior jumped the gun Mother Superior jumped the gun Mother Superior jumped the gun Mother Superior jumped the gun Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun, momma When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know nobody can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm gun, momma Happiness is a warm gun -Yes it is.

Anyhooooooooooooooo, I have your poem on the wall. -Paul Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?" The Marine shrugged and replied: "Recoil." ba-dum tssshhh! > I'm not tryting to start another anti/pro gun thing > Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > ba-dum tssshhh! It's a good line, I laughed... but I have to point out that 'when you shoot a terrorist'... ...Isn't that anyone the US doesn't like? The 'enemy' used to be soldiers/combatants/guerrillas even 'people' occasionally. Now some kid with rifle taking on the most powerful killing machine in the world (that's just invaded his country and killed his family and friends) is always 'a terrorist'. Sad days. Such sad days. 'With great power comes great responsibility' (Spiderman. Yes, really.) How's the body count today? We are a society that can build an Enzo and we bomb children. Sorry.... I've just had enough of the barbarism. -Paul :-( >>Katie Couric, 'nuff said. while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: >>"What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?" >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > ...Isn't that anyone the US doesn't like?

You just had to turn up in Red square on May 1st and they'd tow them all past you.

On a side note, did you know that General Kalashnikov now promotes a brand of Vodka? One day Hero of the Soviet Union, next day... hang on, how about a Kalashnikov vodka flavoured Ice Cream!?! it could be raspberry red with a little white chocolate hammer and sickle on top. Come on, you know it makes sense! (royalties to the usual address, please). >> Sad days. Such sad days. 'With great power comes great >> responsibility' (Spiderman.

Did you see the Fox special on Rummy a couple of months back? hard-hitting journalism at its best: "Secretary Rumsfeld, politician, statesman, architect of our most successful foreign policy, and may I say, a fine looking man to boot.
