Here is an article I wrote on brass knuckles and other weapons, including the Tekko with live links at the end to other articles I have written with regard to fistloads, Koppo sticks and Yawara sticks. Enjoy.

Once upon a time there were wonderful wristwatches that glowed in the dark without the use of batteries. They glowed because the paint on the hands and numbers was made from radium, a radioactive substance. The watches were very popular.

Then, they were banned.

Not because of a rsik to the ...

I don't understand what this has to do with "Freedom of Speech."

I don't see some Orwellian Crackpot from the Bush Administration, and let's face it, there are a few of them, coming out and placing this man in handcuffs. Did I miss something?

Panther, that was very eloquent. Let me sum up my ...

It never ceases to amaze me what we, as a society, have done to destroy our language.

"Ignorant" does not mean "stupid." Only in our bastardization of language has this passed into popularity and common usage.

So, when I refer to someone in a serious discussion as being "ignorant" of the facts, it ...

Thank you for the "welcome" Panther. I don't mind differences of opinions either. However, I do mind being insulted repeatedly, told I'm ignorant, that my view is uneducated, dishonest, and addressed as the "romper room sect," based only on my disagreement with others' views.

Quit being a ...

I agree with most of what you say, except I believe it's okay for a 13 year old to own firearms, on his parents permit/permission. I had my first bb at 8; 22 at 9; 20 gauge at 11; 12 gauge and 303 at 13. I didn't kill anyone, but I did bring home a ##### load of meat.

Laird,

I'm sorry I ...

DON:

You have no idea of my education or knowledge of these issues. You presume that people with knowledge and education in them would think the same as you do. They do not always do so. I am one of them.

Diane Feinstein wants fluffed her feathers as a knowledgeable person as well, she felt ...

I have no idea what you are talking about. Unless you are referring to me using the word "uneducated" or even "ignorant" when it comes to some people's views. In which case, that does not mean you lack an education, that you are stupid or anything else that would be an insult.

Ignorance is lack of ...

Le,

Clearly you see this picture all wrong.....Single shot magazine is for the individual deer, automtic rifles, machine gins and assault rifles, whatever you want to call them, are for the herd of deer......

Is a machine "gin" an automatic booze dispenser? :)

I guess if it was about "deer ...

1) How hot people on either side can get in talking about guns
2) How statistics and stories can be made to support any side of the issue
3) That nothing I say or that anyone else will say will change the mind of those with opposing views.

I get hot about it because I don't particularly care ...

Rich Apologies...I did overstep the mark. I think the reason that I got annoyed was that I am not rabidly against guns...But, Folks are responding to me as though I am. I like to look at both sides of an argument, and sometimes I will present or try to at least, that of the " other side ...

As an afterthought to the above, let's see if you all can keep Jorvik on track. We don't need to hear about the numbers of firearms - related homicides in that picture, we already know those are HORRIBLE figures.

No, he needs to tow the line and tell us why we should believe for one damned second ...

...saw a discussion on CNN tonight about the possibility of extending the 'assault gun ban', along with a demonstration by the police of the 'killing potential' of the so called 'assault weapons' to include semiauto weapons with magazines of thirty rounds.

Back when that utterly worthless ...

"Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb...

Mary had a little lamb and Bush invaded Iraq and killed a bunch of kids and gun control is good and all the war was about was oil and American bullying and guns are bad and her fleece was white as snow." -Jorvik

Can't someone BAN this person? I ...

The " Gun Lobby" certainly haven't won this debate...

(stomp feet like child throwing temper tantrum) I will be heard! You bastards have not won any debate! Guns kill people, damnit I say! :D

..there is still a major problem in the US over guns...

Here is your wake-up call, my British ...
