Verizon and Vodafone are most certainly not the same company. They do share ownership in several subsidiaries, one of which is Verizon Wireless. Verizon is a "baby Bell" that was a product of the breakup of the old AT&T into regional telecommunication companies. At that time it was known as Bell Atl...

You are attempting to shift the conversation in this thread to firearms. Which isn't the discussion. No, you did that... Ok, let's set some things straight.

And just to document soemthing: Shooting sports use semi-auto shotguns, hi powered rifles and hi powered handguns. Even an O/U shotgun can be reloaded at a rapid pace with some practice. Perhaps even faster than a pump action or semi-auto over an extended period. Hunters use some of the highest pow...

For which a very specific type of gun is used for. Different topic. Raise it in the other thread, and I'll respond.

That's quite a story from three years ago. Does You've just made the point, haven't you. Dumb people+guns=?

Axes and knives can and are being used to massacre people. Can this be disputed? If killing others is against the law, and that's not enough of a deterrent, then how do we stop these sorts of crimes?

You thought so what? That you not be willing (or indeed able) to provide an answer. After all, a society run on greed, making the rich richer, the poor poorer and thereby creating a breeding ground for crime goes completely against the Teachings of Christ. As does killing someone. That's old school...

And your point is what? That dumb people do stupid stuff? Dozens of stories each and every day document that fact, no? People make mistakes. Everyone does.

I understand the desire of a lot of Americans to preserve their constitutional right to bear arms. But it's a double edged sword.
