Sigh... I'm getting tired of being correct. The gun used to shoot 15 people on a busy Toronto street was likely obtained from a “gang-related source,†according to a person familiar with the case. |

But only noticing the fact that it was the shop owner who became killed by a police bullet, and next also a stray bullet only, for such. Here only Wiggo before my own post, because I did not see Mr. Kevvy's one here, before after posting. |

No... no shop owners or any other innocents were hit by any police bullets. The only person shot by the police was the person who very badly needed to be. Edit: I don't even know which post you are referring to but hope I cleared that up in case it was mine. Edit2: It's just been released that he committed suicide after running away from the police. They may have shot him but the fatal headshot was his own. |

You are welcome Gary, except that in the fridge, one beer left at 4 AM, and next not there when checking earlier on for this. Also something which passed my way as well, but need getting back at it. Perhaps therefore no such thing as making any bloke of myself either, when sometimes that of a Godfather, for a couple of other things, except for still not the mermaid either, for that of the nymph (not liking the word). Next slap my tongue here as well, for that of still being forgetful, and next forgetting the thing I had to say. Divide and conquer, for that of split and rule, perhaps except for not any dirty hands either, in a general context, when also sometimes both left or right handed as well, except for still not any heavy handed either. Like also pointing at a specific direction, for that of in the sky, next also not any meaning either, for that of the vastness of space, except for such a thing as "where are we going", either. The fact that we sometimes could make it wonders of nature, is not necessarily that of any "foot" either, when next telling an elephant of standing on three legs only, except for still a "compartmentalized" look, or overview for that of science, if not any mentality, for that of even an oversight either. Not meant for any of you, of course, but rather still the fact that we could be looking at the world around us, for still also that of science in mind, when perhaps finishing off the day, with a bit of thoughts without any meaning. |

A TOP cardiologist gunned down by a cyclist while riding his bike to work in surgical scrubs was deliberately targeted, police say. But why? POLICE believe a top cardiologist gunned down at a busy intersection while cycling to work in his medical scrubs was deliberately targeted.It must be something in the water over there. |

Tax stamps? Have fun collecting it. :-)Wow, Sirius, this is 'serious'.........your next door neighbor could be printing one right now! Better get your Concealed Carry License.................oh, that's right, you don't HAVE a 2nd Amendment...........too bad. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

So you don't mind having thousands of unregistered weapons around? |

A serious question. With the possibility of these "printed" firearms becoming widespread, what are the rules in the USA for buying ammunition? Over here with gun ownership only where necessary, I suspect purchase of ammunition to be difficult, not impossible, but I am interested in how difficult it would be for just anyone to get ammunition for one of these. |

Another serious question. Fingerprints & ballistics tests have often undone criminals. One of those weapons used in a killing, weapon tossed in a fire afterwards. What fingerprints? What ballistic test? |
Sirius B Send message Joined: 26 Dec 00 Posts: 24879 Credit: 3,081,182 RAC: 7 |
The ability to purchase ammunition is regulated by each individual State.Understandable, but it doesn't stop criminals from getting their hands on weapons or ammunition. |

Stating the obvious can sometimes seem to be overbearing. |

As 'I understand it' the quality, reliability, re-usability, accuracy, range and other myriad problems relegate these objects to the approximate lethality of an accurately thrown brick(see Baltimore riots). I believe firearms are dangerous tools, that should be kept and handled in a safe manner, and that the manufacture of these dangerous tools should be regulated for the safety of the user as well as those nearby. Serial numbers should be assigned to such dangerous tools as a means of tracing manufacture flaws, not for purposes of Government restriction of 2nd Amendment rights. I await the hue and cry from those postulating my statement means I am forwarding the cause of Industrial Mega Corporation dominance over the right of 'free speech'. [edit] @Clyde Even internet purchases of Ammunition and Magazines are restricted on a State by State basis according to each jurisdictions particular restriction, local, municipal, county, etc. Here I am restricted from buying any type of magazine that could contain excess of 15 rounds. However the possession of such magazines purchased prior to the enactment of the law(2012 here) is allowed by Grandfather. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

@JE, perhaps there is no size limit anymore, California's restriction was struck down Federally. Ammo for such a downloaded weapon most likely can be of the reload type, where you make it yourself. You can melt your own lead, get the brass from anywhere, the only restriction is on the powder, IIRC you can buy up to 5 pounds at a time. |
