How People are Murdered:
(https://conservativepoliticalforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FnYCk0.jpg&hash=8575ae7b9c43b606f08d35cb9a32f1be92bf6ca8)
Nice chart. Now - how many of those murders are one thug shooting another thug? I know - if you listen to the media, all those murders are innocent children at the hands of some madman. But we're on the right side of the political spectrum, which means we normally use our brains, and we know better. So if we remove cases of bangers shooting other bangers, and dealers shooting other dealers, and thieves arguing over splitting the loot; how many of us regular types are in danger. Cause unless they hit innocent bystanders, our feeling on the above is that they aren't killing each other fast enough.

That is a very good point Giles, one I've tried to make over and over. :thumbup:

The anti-gun types classify 19 year old bangers shooting each other as "gun accidents causing the death of a
child". By the time I was 19 (well, a few months past my 19 birthday to be exact), I was already back from my first tour in Vietnam. I might have been a lot of things, but a
"child" wasn't one of them. You eventually get tired of all the lies and distortions, issuing from their side of the "discussion".
Hands feet baseball bats and rocks (unless you're an "innocent" Palestinian) have to go. Palestinians are justified because they're doing Allah's work in fighting them evil Jews!

You misspelled "Jews" - it should be "Joooos"!

They will put a rider on the bill just for you.
But I do like my bow and arrows, and a crossbow is not hard to make.

BOWS and ARROWs don't make noise. Archery hunting will make you a better hunter as well.

Have been using them for over 60 years. Have two younger brothers that teach Archery also.
Actually, contrary to what Liberals believe - that a gun is a piece of advanced technology that requires sophisticated equipment to produce - Guns can be made by anyone with access to some power equipment. I suggest that Liberals take a look at "Sons of Guns" on Discovery Channel.

I love swords! Back in the day I was a member of the SCA and could hold my own in a sword fight. I still own a broadsword with a 36 inch blade!
O.T. note:
In the Star Trek episode,
The Naked Time, George Takei (Sulu) is under the delusion that he is a swashbuckler out of the 17th century and procures a fencing foil and runs around the Enterprise fighting off villains and saving damsels in distress. However, George Takei's in real life loved swashbuckler movies and ended up chasing the crew and cast around with the fencing foil he was using on screen! The Crew threatened to walk off, en masse if anyone ever gave Sulu a sword again!
It is interesting to note that in a later episode,
The Day of the Dove, when the crew of the Enterprise is reduced to fighting Klingons with swords, everyone gets a sword - everyone, that is, except Sulu!

Showing my age...I remember that episode.
I have studied the Japanese Katana (in Japan) what people often call the Samurai sword.
But edged weapons of all sorts have a role in self defense and combat
to this day.

Would that be Kendo or Kenjutsu?

Kenjitsu.... the purer form.

Well, I'm absolutely not giving up my frying pans! :angry:
Billy - How sharp are your swords?
Can you shave with them?
Murray Carter (Carter Cutlery) makes knives and sharpens them Razor sharp. He has shave with a machete, Ax, and other knives.
Here in this Video he shaves with a 21" sword he made.
