Wouldn’t you just shoot him instead?Originally Posted by KSU
Are you [BlueKnight] related to (or perhaps attend the same schools as) friardchips?
I was being sarcastic. Both BlueKnight and friardchips seem to have what is almost an aversion to a clear, consistent position regarding the interplay between the use of weapons and Catholicism. To debate them on that topic is akin to nailing quicksilver to a wall.
But I mean that in a good way
Of course Fast and Furious violated laws–local, state, US and international. Wide Receiver, however, was a very limited, serious effort which did not violate law–it was a joint US/Mexican Government effort using traceable weapons. When Dear Leader et al. assumed office, they used the name Wide Receiver just for cover, but they did not use traceable weapons or bother to inform Mexican law enforcement. They got what they wanted–carnage in Mexico that was to be blamed on US gun dealers.
I have come to a conclusion here, as with many threads before, that putting one’s point across can be tantamount to this: :banghead: especially over such controversial subjects as guns. I can quite see why trying to script out some new teaching about guns in the U.S would be quite impossible due to the diehards who live their lives swearing by them.
Now who is being sarcastic?Wouldn’t you just shoot him instead?
Your description is how I also understand it, hence why I referred to it as Wide Receiver II since the initial operation was canceled when they lost a shipment. Seems the smugglers figured out (or were informed) of the tracking mechanism and figured out tactics to defeat the tracking.
Wow. Talk about ethnocentric nationalistic stereotypingI have come to a conclusion here, as with many threads before, that putting one’s point across can be tantamount to this: :banghead: especially over such controversial subjects as guns.

To change the world:
The U.S needs to make guns illegal (and stop being naively hypocritical).
Russia needs to stop drinking Vodka.
The U.K needs to grow a backbone.

There’s no requirement for a new teaching on guns. The catechism is quite adequate, you have a moral obligation to value your own life and a right to defend it. (Note, the right to defend your own life isn’t necessarily an obligation to under all circumstances). Those in authority responsible for the lives of others also have a duty to provide for the defense of those who have entrusted them with authority…I have come to a conclusion here, as with many threads before, that putting one’s point across can be tantamount to this: :banghead: especially over such controversial subjects as guns.

Oh, I understand your point quite well. I just disagree with it, especially with the US making guns illegal.I have come to a conclusion here, as with many threads before, that putting one’s point across can be tantamount to this: :banghead: especially over such controversial subjects as guns.

First, if you could answer the question I asked in #442.
I didn’t know truth had such an extravagant-sounding title.
Can all people carry a gun in the U.S and use them or do they need a hard-to-get license?
I am not disagreeing. However, it is about putting things in proportion. Could you post the catechism reference please?
My opinion is that vodka should be illegal… even Western vodka. God didn’t mean potato’s for that!
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone can acquire a gun legally. Believe it or not there are gun control laws in place. Some states have more stringent laws than others.
