joeking27 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Actually I've lost a family member who owned guns and I've come to realize it's not the tool to blame. Had someone killed a family member of mine who owned a flashlight, I would blame the person who did it, not the flashlight. Everyone has the right to bear arms, it's when they screw up that they forfeit those rights. The guy was a convicted felon as someone listed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So the legislators have no responsibility to protect their citizens? Link to post Share on other sites

target_practice Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 clearly being hit by an egg is infuriating and violence provoking,just ask john prescott. problem is today..kids get away with everything, maybe the driver has had endless problems with nuiscence children and just pushed over the edge. still deserves the death penalty though, if he wanted revenge...shouldve thrown eggs back....if he could afford an suv...he could afford a big box of eggs or shot them with an airsoft ( no maybe not...then it would be bad press for airsofters) Link to post Share on other sites
SwatMP5man Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 If i remember correctly, i read in one of the site forums (Electrowerkz?) that one of their regs or staff was hit by an egg and ended up permanently blind, due to some inconsiderate thug. Now, this kid shouldn't have been doing it in the first place but tbh he didnt deserve being killed. Link to post Share on other sites

The Gopher Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I work at a dealership. Not long ago we had a delivery in of some cars, some of which were, let's just say, on moderately high priority. 2 SUVs got hit directly with eggs, another SUV and a car got splattered all over. I cleaned them up. Upon inspection, one SUV got hit with TWO eggs. The other one got hit with just one. They needed to be repainted. Guess who's shelling' out the dough? The DELIVERY DRIVER. It all comes out of his pocket. And cleaning up all the egg excrement wasn't funny. Link to post Share on other sites
Asher Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Woah. Now that is a *fruitcage*ed up thing to happen. In a detached sort of way, though, the whole thing is an abject lesson in manners. Shooting kids for linging eggs is a bit harsh, but there is a little bit of cause and effect there. If you're going to *fruitcage* with people's *beep*, theres a risk they might *fruitcage* with yours in return. Responsibility for your own actions etc. etc. Mind you, I reckon the poor little bugger probably only expected to get shouted at. . . I find it interesting that a couple of people are insisting that the death penalty is an appropriate epithet for this sordid little story of disproportionate revenge. My bleeding heart liberal's irony-ometer is a-tingling Don't get me wrong; a kid probably doesn't grasp the concept of cause and effect in the same way that a trigger-happy felon might grasp the fact that he's going to death row for shooting a child, but we're really going to have to stop killing each other somewhere and since one is the minimum starting point its probably better to stop there.

Sledge Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just out of curiosity, if the kid had been beaten to death with a crowbar, would the anti-gun advocates now be calling for a ban on crowbars? Blame the person, not the tool. Link to post Share on other sites

Blame the person, not the tool. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll tell you what, son, they can have my gun, but they'll have to pry my crowbar from my cold, dead hands. And I'd like to know exactly what they're planning to use to do the prying, eh? EH? This seems to be the reasoning of our age, though. Every time some *fruitcage*wit loses control and does something hideous everyone falls over themselves to blame whatever (s)he was holding at the time. I would say 90% of us want to choke the living ###### out of someone at some point in our lives, but very few of us do it. So why are we apparently unable to accept that EVERYONE should be accountable for their actions. And while I'm at it, why is no-one honking that we should ban eggs? Link to post Share on other sites
SwatMP5man Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 We should. Ban chickens as well, they make eggs. Ban grass that feeds chickens who make the eggs. Link to post Share on other sites

Guns, on the other hand, mean that you can do murders without getting all out of breath and sweaty. Seriously, you reckon a car driver with a crowbar could catch a kid with eggs?

Yeager Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 So the legislators have no responsibility to protect their citizens? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Personally, I perfer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery at the hands of a nanny state. Oh, heres a neat fact! You can get a select fire VZ-61 Skorpian or even a stolen Sterling on the streets of the UK for 165-300 pounds, the only hard & often expensive part is getting the ammunition. once you have the ammunition your free to reak havoc on the unarmed peasants with little to no resistance from their unarmed police! On top of that ,I'd say you have a good 5-10 minutes to shoot up the place before an armed responce team arrives. Lets see, how many times can I yell bang in ten,five, or two minutes? Scary thought eh? Link to post Share on other sites
