This is what the difference that the third digit makes: One of the cartridges is a .22 Long Rifle (most often used by hunters and plinkers), one is a 5.56 NATO (most often used by the US military to kill people). As I have explained to you before, the AR-15 is not remotely similar to a .22...

Resistance comes in many forms. From passive resistance, i.e. noncompliance without violence, to violent assault and battery in trying to escape from the police. The force that police are allowed to use is dependent on several key factors, including the severity of the original crime that the...

What? Are you suggesting that we should let the guy with the broken taillight or the stolen designer shoes just escape, disrespecting the authority of the government? Just to save the lives of innocent people who might be turned into mangled hamburger roadkill when the inexperienced teenager...

Well said.

The rest of the civilized world has largely figured out how to let law enforcement deal with noncompliant, intoxicated, belligerent and/or mentally ill people who may be breaking the law without the use of excessive force, without placing their officers in any significant danger of bodily harm...

Yes.

It's not sarcasm, its a simple question that exposes the flaws in your arguments. And I believe you know that, but like to pretend that you don't understand English when it suits you. How does Jesus feel about intellectual integrity?

Ain't that right. TrueChristians don't do straight answers when the answers contradict their claims.

He will be missed. I've seen him thrice and they were all magical experiences.

No it doesn't, that is NOT what semiautomatic means. Autoloaders like the AR15, 1911, Glock 17 etc use the energy from the last cartridge to drive the ejector, feed a fresh cartridge into the breech, and put the hammer/striker pin into battery. Revolvers don't do that. Some revolvers require the...

Overkilled? He put 5 rounds into the robber after he went down and was lying prone on the floor. The last of which was after the shooter had taken the gun off him. Clearly someone who had not been paying attention in a concealed carry certification class where they explain the state laws to you...

That sounds like murder to me. While he might have been justified in shooting the robber if he had a gun pointed at him, shooting him again when he was down and his weapon removed is way too much. Time for a grand jury. But then again, this is Texas, so who knows if the DA has the stomach for...

It's in Earth Is Room Enough, I think. Don't remember the name of the story.

Can you provide a few examples to document the behavior you are talking about? Atheists are human just like theists, and we come with our own human shortcomings. But your claim that many atheists on these forums exhibit fanatical, dogmatic, biased behavior is contrary to what I have observed...

You've never stopped to think about the idea that the Bible may not be true in everything it says? Never? You just read the book and swallowed it whole without an ounce of skepticism? Or, you could be a normal human being, with enough sense to be skeptical of the tall claims made in an old...

Feel free to point out what he is wrong about. Who lied, God or the serpent?

I think Learner is confused as fuck, and is unable to tell which side is up and which side is down. His faith is a mish-mash of random, discordant ideas in his head, some of it stemming from his very selective reading of the Bible, and some of it no-doubt stemming from him listening to what...

I have met several theists, Christian and Muslim, who claim that the answer to all questions can be found in their preferred holy book. You must not go out very much, or perhaps the theists in your circles don't believe that, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Argument from ignorance. I...

I never made that claim. This is a strawman. But yes, Hindus, in general, tend to be less focused on rigidly following, or even studying the Hindu texts than your typical Muslim or Christian. That has been my observation. But religiosity and conformation with religious traditions vary widely...

You argued that we should not waste our energy trying to ban weapons like the AR15. To support this argument you made the following claims: 1. Handguns also kill people 2. Handguns kill more people than AR-15 type weapons 3. AR-15 type guns are very similar to other .22 caliber hunting rifles...
