Festival type music concert security is pretty slack considering. I have not seen a metal detector at one yet. Someone could easily sneak in a body bomb. that would be way worse.

This raises questions about LV security letting people take in large amounts of guns and ammo. I expect any terrorist is thinking casinos are an easy target. Ya'll can just walk on in.
 
Personally, it's just frustrating when in reality, there isn't really a lot that can be done to stop people bent on mayhem. That Vegas killer didn't show any signs of being so deranged......... so what laws would have stopped him? If there was an outright ban on assault looking guns........... and owners were required to turn in their weapons..... How many law abiding citizens would do it? How many law enforcement people would it take to go door to door to search homes for the illegal weapons? How many in law enforcement would refuse to do home searches? How about the lawsuits in federal court that would filed and how many years would the court battle take?
The only bright side is that every politician that voted for the ban would lose his or her next election. We need some housecleaning to get rid of the old dusty ones ;)
It's one of those "ya can't get there from here" situation. It'll never happen.
OK, were back to square one......... Sadly, ya just can't stop crazy people. They may be crazy, but they are also smart enough to plan their attacks undetected.
It's frustrating when there's a limited amount that can be done to stop something when you don't know it's going to happen:eek:.

I tend to stay away from large crowds outdoors these days unless I'm armed. :)
I stay away from large crowds too......... there's always lots of people there. :D When I went on my photo excursions, it was neat. I could drive around in the hills for the entire weekend and see maybe one or two cars. Millions of trees, but I don't mind large crowds of trees around me. ...they're so quiet and nice to hang out with.
 
Here's a reason gun laws and gun bans don't work. We have a problem with system failures and the criminal mindset.
OK...........you committed a crime and were told to surrender your weapons. All of them?
How about you do as directed, then borrow or steal another weapon later?
How many times do cops need to be called before a person is designated as dangerous?

21calls? ...5? ...2?
A judge ordered Neal to stay away from the women and to surrender all of his firearms. But months after Neal's arrest, the women called the Tehama County Sheriff's Department several times to report Neal had been firing a gun.

In one week in August, the two women called sheriff's deputies for help three times. In one of the instances, Poland told the dispatcher that she had a restraining order against Neal and that he was outside her house with a flashlight, firing at her house and car, according to an incident report.

At some point, why can't the police be allowed to do something? I'm guessing the first time he murders someone, only then it's OK for the police to get serious.
............this where laws need to be changed.
Does the info in this story just seem nuts? I see red flags leading up to this guy's carnage.

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.

The decision, with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia and dissents from Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, overturned a ruling by a federal appeals court in Colorado.


This is why anyone who can carry, should carry.
 
I'm gonna remove a couple of pieces of plywood today that's been layed over a rotten floor in my single wide mobile home project. The plywood is rotten too, so I can't imagine what's hidden under it........... I'm guessing dirt? :rolleyes:
.......film at 11.

Sheesh. I can get the police not needing to protect someone from their own stupidity, but refusing to protect someone from another person who is a criminal is just wrong. I get that the cops are busy and all, but the motto is "protect and serve".

Havasu, what happens if the police order someone to help and the person is too afraid or unable to comply? I'm curious about that. I mean, I don't think they can legally compel someone to risk their lives.

Highup, that sounds like a lot of work. I hope it goes well.

The guy who's been cutting down trees in my barnyard is planning to help me when I go to renovate the house-- I'm trying to figure out what would be a fair amount to pay him for it. I'm footing the bill and don't have an income since I'm a stay-a-home caretaker and this state won't pay home caretakers that are family members.

My doctor said he's going to raise my thyroid meds. My levels are within "normal" range but he said it's the "low side of normal". The levels are inverted so a higher number means a lower thyroid. Mine was at 5 before and is now at 3.7 but it should be closer to 1. I'm hoping that will give me more energy. Even using the computer makes me tired.

The fungus cream I've been using on my mother's toenails every night is working. Her podiatrist said the new nails are growing in clean (apparently its impossible to get the existing fungus off but all you can do is make it so the new nails grow in without fungus). Takes about a year for it to clear up, so I have a few more months of it. I'll have to remember to pack it and the mat I put under her feet when we go to visit my sister. And Mom's ears must have been burning because she just walked out and stared talking to me. LOL.

I bought a frameless mirror from HomeDepot that I want to put a frame on and use as a medicine cabinet door. It will be heavy, but I like to have storage space. I got some door trim and plinth blocks for it (gonna do plinths in all 4 corners instead of mitering edges). Trying to figure out the best way to do it. I'm thinking luan back panel and glue the mirror to it and then add the trim around the sides (maybe overlapping the beveled edge of the mirror). Glue and screw the trim and plinths. Plinths are just a teeny bit wider than the trim. I'm debating whether to just have the plinths jut out a little bit on each side of the trim or have them lined up with trim on inner edge and stick out on the edge or have them in more and then have a thin strip go on the inside. I'll have to lay it out on the workshop table and see how it looks-- but need new shop lights since the starters have burned out on all of the fluerescent ones.
