For the city that never sleeps, apparently, there is a loon born every day. This afternoon on the strip near Fashion Show Mall, some dude with a kitchen knife stabbed eight people. Two have died, and two are in serious condition.
For those unfamiliar with the Fashion Show Mall, it is the home of Neiman Marcus, and they run your credit card to see if your credit limit is high enough for you to enter the shopping center (just sort of kidding about that part).
For someone who writes dirty porn stories which no one should be allowed to read, I try to stay away from making political statements. What has happened to people? We have women being gang raped in India and tortured in Teran for not wearing a hijab.
In the US of A, we do things the old-fashioned way. Buy an AR-15 and shoot up a club, school, or concert. I’m conflicted about gun restrictions, but we have to do something. Growing up in East Texas, people looked at you suspiciously if you were not carrying enough artillery to start a small war. My Dad won’t drive to Walmart without a deer rifle in his pickup gun rack. Who knows what could happen and require you to lay down suppression fire? Or the occasional deer that might look at you in a threatening way. You always have to be on the lookout for Bambi’s mom and dad.
If we could ever figure out who these crazy people are, the doctor could tattoo LOON on their forehead at birth. Then you wouldn’t wonder why an 18-year-old kid wants to buy two AR-15-style weapons. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as big of a gun nut as the next Texan but don’t own a single assault rifle.
I pistol shoot and do steel plate, which is fun. Steel Plate is where you stand with your pistol in the holster. They say go, and you draw and shoot the plate. The timer can hear the sound of the bullet hitting the steel plate and stop the clock. There are like ten scenarios, and the person with the lowest total time wins.
My primary home defense weapon is a 12-gauge pump combat shotgun with a short barrel. It’s the exact type of shotgun that you see cops carrying when they break into a drug house. The nice thing about a shotgun is that your neighbor is safe from friendly fire. A shotgun shell is full of BBs that spread into a spray pattern. It’s a painful weapon to shoot. With the short barrel, it kicks like a mule but will stop a intruder anywhere in the vicinity. An assault rifle fires a high-velocity slug that can penetrate your house’s wall and kill someone across the street.
What people don’t seem to understand is when it’s 3 AM, and someone is breaking into your house with a home invasion. You’re still half asleep, in a dark room, with the adrenaline pumping is the last situation where you should be holding a .226 AR-15 with a 30-round clip. If you don’t shoot on a regular basis, hitting someone with a bullet is not as easy as they do it on Law and Order.
I see people buying an assault rifle for self-protection but let’s be honest, an assault rifle is for killing people in war. Not some loon who would like to rape your wife or steal the good China. Of course, I can’t blame anyone for wanting to rape my wife, as she would be worth the prison time you’d get. That is assuming you still had a set of balls when she got through with you. Plus, she has a stainless-steel Chief’s Special 38 revolver and is a surprisingly good shot with a two-inch barrel. Knowing Foxy, you’d get to find out what it feels like to be sucking your own dick!
The picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, I just love beautiful women.
I’m Larry Archer, a simple writer of smut stories in both print and electronic format. Foxy and I are swingers in real life, and I write about the things we do and see. While the Lifestyle is not for everyone, it’s been fun for us. My smut is explicit and hardcore but with a somewhat plot. My porn stories are generally positive and fun as this reflects how enjoyable swinging has been to us. If you’re interested in checking out my stories, I publish at all the typical outlets.

With Foxy, it’s really a question of who would rape whom. ;^)
A very common sense post, Larry. Thanks for your sanity.

I don’t know what makes someone get so angry or whatever and decide that they way to do deal with it is to go on a shooting rampage. We’ve mangled what the Second Amendment was intended to mean – having the right to bear arms as a militia in order to defend against invaders and like the British did during the war that created this country. That meaning of a militia turned into the National Guard, by the way, but we take it to mean that we can just go buy a gun and shoot people and sometimes for the slightest of slights or being totally disgruntled about something.
Shooting up a crowd of innocent people isn’t the answer to problems but too many people think that it is. It puts police in a very bad situation, too, since if they even think you have a weapon, they’re going to shoot first and ask questions later and they don’t always get it right and as we’ve seen too much of.
I wouldn’t get an AR-15 for home defense; a Sig-Sauer P226 chambered in .40 would do the job nicely and since I was in the service, I’m… used to shooting at people, to put it like that and methinks most people really have no idea what it’s like to put a bullet into another human being and I don’t recommend it. I do remember the first time I shot a shotgun and it almost dislocated my shoulder – and I was told what to expect!
Methinks that Foxy would… keep an intruder very occupied while you find your phone and call the cops and tell them not to hurry because he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon and they might not need to cuff him because he won’t be in any shape to do anything more than curl up in the fetal position and suck his thumb.

LOL: I hear you. Personally, I’m partial to Springfield Arms, but the Sig is a nice pistol. The Mossberg is a good home defense gun, and I’ve just got a new recoil stock to spare my shoulder. My Dad uses a Remington 1100, and that’s a nice shooting shotgun. He’s promised it to me when he quits hunting. I gave up hunting as a teenager because I decided to stop killing things. Not that I’m against hunting but just decided it wasn’t for me.

If you need an AR-15 to hunt deer, something is very wrong with you…

I wonder if we’re entering a Stand on Zanzibar reality where muckers are real.
As the very sad incident you describe kinda proves, the issue is not the weapons, it’s the people.
Clearly this person had issues, and simply used the first weapon they had access to.
Our mental health care system is a mess, and there’s no easy way to fix it, IMHO.
Yes, we need to do a better job of finding and getting those affected treatment, but we have to be careful not to go too far in restricting what people can and can’t do, or can or can’t own, based on any given diagnosis.
That will simply lead to many people avoiding seeking treatment out of fear of loosing some rights.
I have an 80 pound pit bull for home defense, and he’ll lick to death any intruder that comes into my house. If the intruder is Lucy from Peanuts, he’s the best defense.
