Today's shooting in America thread

An emergency? In Switzerland? What; the workers at the chocolate factories going on strike?

Them bloody toblarones are lethal.

BTW, they’re not RANDOM, they’re for EMPHASIS. Much easier than trying to bold.

They’re fucking annoying and even outlawed in the CoC. Imagine how shit the forum would look if everyone used them.

I read once that every year each individual has to take the gun somewhere for it to be inspected and also have to produce their bullets. Each person only has a small amount given and they can't buy them. If they are short of a bullet or two they have to explain why with strict penalties in place.

Edit - that ended in 2007
Prior to 2007, members of the Swiss Militia were supplied with 50 rounds of ammunition for their military weapon in a sealed ammo box that was regularly audited by the government. This was so that, in the case of an emergency, the militia could respond quickly.

In December 2007, the Swiss Federal Council decided that the distribution of ammunition to soldiers would stop and that previously issued ammo would be returned. By March 2011, more than 99% of the ammo has been received. Only 2,000 specialist militia members (who protect airports and other sites of particular sensitivity) are permitted to keep their military-issued ammunition at home. The rest of the militia get their ammunition from their military armory in the event of an emergency.

Good sensible policy that wouldn’t contradict the 2A.

It seems an unreal scenario here in Australia but I guess in America that could happen.

Only because every cûnt can legally buy fucking assault rifles!

Out of interest what weapon can't you legally own in the states? I.e can you own a fully operational tank , jet fighter ?

You can own both, the jet fighter can’t beer armed, not sure about a Tank

Aww, petal.

Bringing your ire from earlier in the thread to this issue? Haha!

Speaking of annoying…do you own a mirror?

It’s funny. I got an amusing comment about a thread/post not having a word in block caps, and you had to jump in with both feet to express your faux outrage.

So, you’ve run to the CoC. Can you share where it says a word written in all caps is verboten? I could understand posts in all caps, but a word?

I’m guessing you don’t get challenged much in your life, and when you do you don’t like it.

I’ve no desire to create any enemies here, or anywhere else in life, because it’s usually pathetic and counter-productive, but you do try hard to make yourself one, at times. What’s that about?

I’ve given you chapter and verse of context to your ridiculous hyperbole on another contentious thread, and this is your response? That’s a little sad, don’t you think?

You have a wonderful day.

what a spoilsport law that is - I mean surely the real fun of owning an F16 is in the ability to launch weaponry at something or someone?

There are specific licenses and documents required to fire armaments, based on calibers higher than .50 caliber.

A now deceased Supreme Court Justice, when asked if an RPG was protected under 2A, responded that given it was portable, and under the strict Constitutionalist edict of “bear arms,” it might elicit serious discussion…
