  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  paragraph 13. .

  ever since [ 1914 ], mankind has experienced the truthfulness of these inspired words: woe for the earth and for the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.. i cannot believe how dubs allow themselves to be convinced that the world is getting worse and worse each year.. poverty -.

  I cannot believe how Dubs allow themselves to be convinced that the world is getting worse and worse each year.

  While by no means a fan of Schnell's 30 Years a Watchtower Slave, he was probably right about one thing - namely, that the Watchtower Society capitalised on the tremendous upheaval that occurred across Europe in the wake of the First World War. This is what lead to their mantra about "everything is continuing to get worse and worse" - a mantra continued to this day, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

  Pioneering

  by Sabin in

  i`ve heard many pioneers claim that they are deserving of material things because they are the ones who make all the sacrifices.

  one claimed that jehovah had made sure that she got absolutely everything she wanted right down to shelfs so she could put up pic`s of her family because, to quote "we are so deserving, we`ve made the sacrifice".

  mind you this is the same sister who told me "it`s harder for me having my son d.fs than for a mother loosing her child in death".

  I well remember one absolutely delightful (not!) special pioneer brother who was wont to broadcast that, to quote:

  - " Pioneering gives you a licence to bludge."

  (For those outside of Australia, the term "bludger" originally referred to a person who lived off the earnings of a prostitute. Long since, though, it has come to refer to anybody who is fed, clothed and housed at the expense of others.)

  In my experience, this attitude seems common place amongst the "pious-sneerers".

  Do you know their names? If you don't want to disclose that imfo I understand but ask them if they know "Toothless". In my old life I knew a few lads from Herefordshire.

  I will pass that on next time I see them.

  SecretSlaveClass,

  I have two friends who have been regular visitors to that part of the world - one of them an ex British SAS commando, and thus extremely knowledgeable about firearms.

  After one visit, they brought back with them a sample of the North West Frontier Province's gunsmithing. This was a neat little 0.25 calibre piece - very, very easy to conceal. (How they managed to get it through customs, though, I didn't want to know!)

  The gunsmiths of Peshawar will turn out almost anything, not just AK47s. They have no difficulties with affixing an authentic looking brand name on it, either. With the illegally made British 0.303s that have turned up in Australia, you have to look very carefully to see that they are not the "real deal".

  all illegal weapons start out as legal.

  most of the weapons used in crimes are not from across the border or from ISIS or wherever. They are firearms originally purchased legally.

  So now it is "most" instead of "all", as you originally claimed.

  SecretSlaveClass,

  Thanks for that information about the illegal gun manufacturing activities in the Mexican city of Warez (Juarez ?)

  None of it, though, comes as any surprise. Even with an ordinary "jobbing" centre lathe, fabrication of a firearm is not a difficult exercise. However, any halfway decent light engineering works is going to also have such machine tools as Numerical Control (CNC) and/or Turret Lathes - not to mention Milling Machines - with which it would be possible to almost mass produce illegal guns.

  Furthermore, in many Third World countries (including the one I lived in for 17 years), it is not at all difficult to get the authorities to turn a blind eye to such activities.

  Glock, Remington and Winchester, eat your heart out!

  Illegal gun owners don't get them from a different factory.

  You are assuming that all firearms can only come from "legal and reputable" companies".

  In actual fact, it is not too difficult to make a firearm:

  - all you need is a model-engineer's sized centre lathe (such as a Myford "Super 7", for example), some basic engineering materials, plus some rather basic metal working skills (such as I myself possessed by the time I was 12 months into my apprenticeship).

  I have seen this done first hand. Eleven years ago, while working at a site in Papua New Guinea, we had to sack several employees in our mechanical workshop, after we caught them doing just that (at the same time confiscating and destroying their handiworks). And .... I can bloody well assure you that they were doing was illegal! Had those weapons ever made it into criminal hands, they at no time ever would have been "legal" firearms.

  Furthermore, there are certain parts of the world where this is done quite openly. A notable example (but not a sole one) is the city of Peshawar, in Pakistan. In the bazaars of that city, gunsmiths will make you a perfectly functioning replica of just about any firearm you choose - from a Boer War style British issue long barrelled Lee-Enfield 0.303, to an AK47 Assault Rifle, and everything else in between. (More than a few such illegally made replica 0.303s have turned up in this country - with Peshawar being the most likely origin). The only time these weapons are ever going to become "legal" is if a licensed firearm owner takes an advantage of a "Firearms Amnesty" and gets the weapon legally registered. But they definitely never ever started out life as "legal" weapons.

  So, leave the likes of Glock, Winchester, Remington, Stirling etc. out of it (At the same time, stop castigating all firearm owners, such as myself, too!).

  These reputable manufacturers are by no means the only source of firearms.

  Sorry, Simon, but your claim does not stand, after all!

  
  

  Bill.

  In this country, not the case. Most of the illegal weapons in circulation were smuggled in, rather than stolen.

  It's got a lot more to do with inadequate "Border Security" than a lack of responsibility on the part of legal firearms owners.

  places like Australia, Ireland, etc where guns are completely outlawed

  Hang on a minute, Mate!

  As a licensed firearm owner who lives in Australia, I can tell you right now that that statement is bloody wrong! Firearms are not "completely outlawed" in Australia, as you just claimed they are.

  (Anyway, your following remarks contradict your first statement, when you go on to state You can own a .22 pistol or rifle .... in other words, you are admitting there that it is possible, after all, to legally own a firearm in Australia).

  My collection of rifles (all quite legal and above board) includes heavy calibre weapons as well as a .22. Also, it definitely DID NOT take me "forever" to acquire my firearms licence. In fact, it was a faster process than that required for a person to gain their first ever driver's licence.

  Further, in this country, membership of a shooting club is just one of a number of reasons a firearm's licence applicant may use as justification for owning a firearm. (Formerly a hunter, and one of my hobbies is small-bore shooting, these days my rifles are used primarily for pest control).

  Obviously (make that very obviously), the subject of firearms control is an emotional issue here:

  - But Please ......... let's keep to facts!
