Of course I had thought you were referring to the world-wide threat
posed by radical violently extremist terrorists, who have an agenda
that in fact involves destroying all those who oppose their climb
toward world domination and intolerance of all others.

[QUOTE]The current state law has no restrictions on children using long guns or shotguns under a parent’s supervision but prohibits them from using handguns.

State Rep. Jake Highfill (R) said the new bill, which passed 62-36, “brings the code in line with long guns and shotguns” by allowing them to possess a firearm under direct supervision from a parent or legal guardian.

It defines “direct supervision” as “supervision provided by another person who maintains visual and verbal contact at all times with the supervised person.”[/QUOTE]

Remember the 9-year-old girl who was handed an Uzi, which the instructor put on Full Auto. The girl fired a burst and lost control of the weapon. It proceeded to kick up and shoot the instructor in the head.

Supervision may not all it is cracked up to be.

Why doesn't Iowa dispense with the legal age of being allowed to drive a car on a public road provided that a child driver is under supervision of an adult in the car maintaining "visual and verbal contact"? I would find that prospect no more alarming.

[QUOTE]More than 20,000 people have signed a petition to allow the open carry of firearms at the Republican National Convention this July.

The convention site, the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, does not currently allow "firearms and other weapons of any kind ... including pepper spray, pocket knives and/or blades of any kind" on the premises, though Ohio is one of 31 states that allows the open carry of firearms without a permit or license.

The petition declares that such a policy is "a direct affront to the Second Amendment and puts all attendees at risk."[/QUOTE]

This might be a self-correcting "problem". Maybe the crazies could vote by way of a shootout. May the surviving candidate win! :smile:

While some Latin American countries have higher per capita murder rates, in absolute numbers, Brazil is the deadliest place in the world outside Syria.

Brazilians are far more likely to be shot to death than Americans, a more populous country where there are about 8,000 to 9,000 gun homicides each year.[/QUOTE]

Brazil has so many problems bearing down on it. I don't see how they can hold the Triathlon, at least, this summer. The bay is just too polluted.

It's hard to think of places where guns are an even worse hazard than in the States, outside of Somalia, etc. Brazil is teetering on the edge of complete chaos.

If the sprog could be persuaded to turn the gun on himself, closure would be achieved.
