I have been saying for 2 weeks that Australia has done it, why can't we?
Fareed makes some excellent points in this video.

So I'm thinking of getting a Glock 17 or 19, or a Beretta 92fs

Any suggestions?

Dave

At 150 bucks, it had to be a textbook. Textbook publishers should be forced to stand at college bookstores wearing a sign that says "I'm a textbook publisher." A plentiful supply of rotten tomatoes would be available for all passers-by to use.

This month in NYC, there have been two people deliberately pushed in front of on-coming subway cars. To their deaths, of curse. I suppose if both victims had been armed, they would have shot their killers before being pushed. Or if they had been carrying bazookas or RPGs, they could have destroyed the trains before they were struck. I'm tellin' ya — we needs mo' guns! Big 'uns. sick

Don't get it... why are text books/publishers a bad thing?

And I think you missed the point of the thread.. why throw tomatoes when a grenade launcher would be so much more effective.

I was trying to be non-violent. smile

Textbook publishers screw the last fifty bucks out of every book they sell to a captive audience. It's an outrage, really. And then they put out a "new" edition every other year so you have to buy new stuff all the time. Usually the only thing that's different between editions is pagination. Sometimes not even that. This past semester a publisher sent me a 2nd edition of a text of Shakespeare that was identical, even down to the pagination, with the 1st edition. Oh--sorry, there was one difference: the price was 20 bucks more. I hate textbook publishers.
