BTW, that assault camera shown above equipped with a motor drive, i.e., FULL AUTO.  | ||

It probably accepts a high capacity roll, too. | ||

It probably accepts a high capacity roll, too. You mean high capacity SD card? Or should we call it a memory magazine!  | ||

I said roll because FB said it had a motor drive, and it looks like it has a place to hold film. I know squat about cameras though. | ||

Motorwind is only on a film camera, no need with digital. Always jones'd for an F2 with motor wind. 5 lifetimes ago... | ||

The motor wind sound will forever be ingrained in the history of paparazzi and copied out of the mouths of young people who don't even know what "hanging up the phone" means. | ||

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/05/the_l eft_is_apoplectic_over_a_girl_a_white_dress_and_an _ar10.html As I often say, there are two technologies that give women equality to men in a practical, real, sense. Birth control, specifically The Pill. ( or other forms, like implants, that are independent of barrier methods often hated by men ) This makes sex not a one sided gamble on ruining your life. ( men don't have 9+ months of body changes & captivity to pregnancy, even close to the same. Often, good men lose weight keeping their Ladies as comfortable as possible ) The repeating firearm. This makes a women the equal of multiple attackers in a way unprecedented in history, far beyond the ability to take on overwhelming odds, previously only Partially possible to dedicated masters of the sword. Give up either technology, or the rights to possess & use them, and women return to being the responsibility, thus property, of good men, or the victim of bad ones. A return to the Dark Ages. | ||

Agreed. It is regularly suggested by "liberals" that I'm a redneck with a big truck and tiny penis because I own a firearm. I have a couple bikes, am a surburbanite by choice, like tiny sporty cars, and am a legal immigrant from South America. The reality of those factors make me as much an enemy as their boogeyman Nazi white supremacist...only because I'm real and don't agree with their bullshit. | ||

This should have been a focus of the media circus concerning the Parkland shooting... ...FBI statement on their failure to act on the tip concerning the shooter: https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/f bi-statement-on-the-shooting-in-parkland-florida Blame your rights and inanimate objects, instead. Real constructive. They also put out an interesting statement on the mass shooting incidents of 2016-2017: https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter -incidents-us-2016-2017.pdf/view Leftist rags, of course, like to call info such as facts and statistics misleading... | ||

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/chris-murphy -comments-show-why-gun-control-advocates-mistruste d/ Why don't we trust lying thieves? Because they lie, and want to steal from us. Really that simple. We are well past the "fool me once...." saying, and getting close to the "If I don't stop you, you will cause manslaughter" part of the nightmare. | ||

Texas was a tragedy, but accounts thus far back up what I've been saying all along. Kids Need PARENTS. This kid took his dad's revolver and shotgun. 1 - why did dad give kid access to these weapons? 2 - why did dad, presumably a "responsible" gun owner, lose track of said weapons and/or access to said weapons? 3 - how did mom and dad miss the "overcoat", with all its symbolic pins? Did they not do their parental duty and ask "what's the hammer and sickle doing on your coat?". Why did the cops have to be the ones to ask the kid, after they stopped the shooting? There don't appear to be any law enforcement failures in this one - no (not yet anyway) social media signs, no foreshadowing, no indications that this was on the horizon. But, there were still failures - parental being primary. The feds need to go after the parents here, and lock them up as long as the kid's locked up. And that, perversely, may be more of a deterrent than any law against the shooter themself. Most of these shooters are cowards and want "glory" and "recognition", but if they knew they'd end up hurting their parents - their family - their mommy and daddy - it might make some of them think twice. And it would CERTAINLY make parents think twice about "what's junior up to now?" and make them be actual PARENTS. If the feds don't go after the parents, I hope the victim's families do. | ||

It is a crime in Texas to leave a gun in an area where someone 17 or younger has access to it, if that area is normally inhabited by said youngster. For example, there are no 17 year old persons living in or regularly frequenting my home, so I do not need to protect my guns from handling or use by someone under the age of 18. The father was breaking the law by not securing his guns with children in the house. He's going to be in a bit of a pickle. | ||

The parents should be prosecuted. Time to set an example. You are responsible for the security of your weapons. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Better yet...you are responsible FOR YOUR CHILDREN. Parents seem to forget (or ignore) that these days... | ||

Do speed limits work that way too? Any speed limit sign older than my 1125r is invalid. | ||

So...if it is in fact a crime in Texas to allow a minor access to your legal firearms, why is the press (including Fox News) ASKING if the parents should be held liable?? Also, there's a Texas law that a minor can't be executed for murder, but can be tried and held for life. An 18 year old...death penalty. So...why not try, convict, and re-try in a year? Shooter - death penalty. Father - negligent homicide / accomplice. Seems pretty cut and dried to me. What am I missing? | ||
| Ourdee |
Retrying in a year will not work as it depends on his age at the time of the offense. Not his age at the time of the trial. Execute the father as a murderer, if convicted, because the crime he committed resulted in murder. Parents everywhere would take notice. One of my children made a stupid statement one day and I did not go back to work till all my firearms were in safes. I had to go purchase another one to accomplish that goal. Never ignore what your children say. Even if you think deep down it will not come to fruition. I insured it would not be on me if it did. Nuff said. | ||

“So...if it is in fact a crime in Texas to allow a minor access to your legal firearms, why is the press (including Fox News) ASKING if the parents should be held liable??” Because they're ignorant of the law. | ||

I read the actual statute the other night ... it states for minors under the age of 17. It doesn't say 17 or under. Small distinction that would be significant in this case since the shooter was 17. | ||

https://www.weeklystandard.com/kevin-d-williamson/ houston-police-chief-art-acevedo-is-not-interested -in-your-views-on-gun-control http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/05/19 /houston-police-chief-god-hasnt-instructed-me-to-b elieve-that-gun-rights-are-bestowed-by-him/ Hey, Art, most people who claim that God spoke personally to them are probably treated with medication by your department. I'd be surprised if you did have actual direct direction from The Almighty, and not believe you without evidence. that may be cynicism on my part, but do you take the word of people arrested by your cops that God told them to do it? I doubt it. And historically, since the now lost fragments of stone slabs brought down from the mountain by Moses, there isn't any physical evidence of private instructions from God. Generally such claims are rejected, unless the instructions are revelations that resonate with the human soul. As in "I never thought of it that way, this is a game changer. It's so self evidently wisdom elegant & wise, I don't doubt some form of divine intervention." note that such moments are rare. In any event, I don't give a damn if you lack a moment of communion with a Burning Bush or visit from an Angel like the Metotron. I don't care if you don't believe in "God given rights" or in God at all. ( which is my guess, since your comment is sarcastic and blasphemous ) what matters is you uphold the law, and if you disagree with one, that you ask your representatives to change it. I fully understand your anger at yet another murder spree, by a bullied, copycat, male adolescent. If you had channeled your anger into some attempt to call for an end to bullying in schools, a probably hopeless task, or to call for better, more aware parenting & a movement to reduce bullying. I'd become a vocal supporter. Instead you appear to be another racist, leftist, thief, which might be unfair, but you sure seem to be a manipulating monster who deserves no respect. I have to ask, did God tell you, personally, that he handed down from above your right to make such asinine statements? |
