Gun shots out my window, AGAIN
Last edited Sun May 19, 2013, 05:25 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Someone just drove by and unloaded their gun on the street outside my window. This is the fourth time in the past 18 months I've had to call 911 about gun fire. It seems to be more frequent, and 911 seemed less concerned than the other times. One time they unloaded a bunch of rounds into an apartment building. I'm not going to my window to see who or what was shot. I'm not suicidal. I hope they send the police to check it out. This being Minneapolis, you never know. We have one of the worst police departments in the country.
So you gun enthusiasts who live in small towns and rural areas, understand this is how we in the inner city experience guns.
Why would you call the police?
More guns just make it worse.
Right?
Besides you're just feeding the NRAs propaganda that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

34. One of your neighbors has likely pissed off a drug dealer
Most of the gunfire in my 'hood are pitched battles between cars one street over or drunks firing into the air on holidays.
My city reflexes are good: turn out the lights, sit on the floor, and wait for the punks to go away.
Some neighborhoods are bad enough for this that they put the kids to sleep in the bathtub to keep them safe.
And yes, this is how city people experience guns. This is why we want fewer of them out there with liability insurance required plus taxes on ammo. Having everything the NRA's way is not working for anybody but the jokers who are so frightened of life that they think they need a home arsenal.
**** 'em. And **** guns.
Yes, I'm sure the shooters will heed all those laws right along with all the other laws they obey.

7. Yep, cops did come
They are down the block. Staying safe is why I don't go look out windows, especially at night when my lights are on and the shooters can see me better than I see can see them.
Another one who cowers in fear waiting for others to save them.
Meanwhile, those of us who would defend our own families are supposed to yield our rights to these pussies.

11. This really isn't that crappy of a neighborhood
exactly. There are many far worse in the city. It does border against a busy street with a lot of apt buildings though. So they generally drive down the busy street and shoot out of the car. The cops must have found something a couple of blocks down (the direction I heard the car drive after the shots) since they've been there a while.
Any neighborhood with you in it is a crappy neighborhood.
And I bet when they're done shooting up your neighborhood they get loaded on CONTROLLED substances then wake up at noon, put on a new "Justice for Trayvon" shirt and set out to renew their EBT cards.

33. Nope.
Guns have always, personally, given me the creeps. Bigtime.
But I did buy the narrative about the NRA being instrumental in the 1994 election debacle, and I figured it was a loser issue for us nationally, politically. It still may be, but I don't care. There has to be room for some commonsense regulations.
But he defends porn depicting rape.

38. This kind of reminds me of the cops here in Miami.
When I'd call about people shooting guns in the park across from my house at the time and they said sure, yeah, we'll send an officer and they never show up. Good times man.
But the government loves us and wants to protect us.

You'd think someone that highly educated could find a better neighborhood to live in.

Yes, I want to live where I have to spend the night on the floor dodging bullets.
Do the old Joe Biden thing next time.....take your shotgun out on the back porch and fire off a few rounds to frighten them away...buy a shotgun....buy a shotgun.

From Minneapolis Public Radio:
Most of the firearms used in Minneapolis gun crimes are obtained illegally. The people who use those guns steal them from homes or gun stores, or they buy them illegally.

Increasing gun control will not reduce crime.

Just reduce the risk to the criminal and make crime more profitable.

Alexandra Brown PhDD chooses to live in el barrio. It reminds her of that long-ago grad school vacation research in Brazil. Eating beans and rice wih her fingers, chewing coca leaves, drinking strong red wine, sleeping with brown men, and that single trip to the Sao Paulo library to justify the trip.

Who's the one frightened?! I ain't sitting around in the dark on the floor waiting for someone to come take care of me.

PhDD fears effective tools of self-defense, at the same time she acknowledges that she can't rely on the policia to defend her.
Cognitive dissonance? No, PhDD is a leftist.
So you gun enthusiasts who live in small towns and rural areas, understand this is how we in the inner city experience guns.
PhDD, this is how those of us in my America experience guns: I am an armed Citizen. Don't start any shit, there won't be any shit. If you come to do me or my family harm, you will leave feet-first.
I'm not suicidal.
Aren't you, PhDD? You choose to live unprotected from the street demons your Democrat city government encourages to rob, rape, and kill you. You refuse to take responsibility for your own protection. You are defenseless, at the mercy of those who would take your life, your dignity, and your property. You are a victim waiting for a crime.
What is your life worth to you?

B-b-but it's a progressive Shangri-La! The city!!!!
Hmmmm.....I wonder what gun laws they already have on the books?
.....and I wonder how much of this :bouncy: is complete and utter :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

There. Now, you're speaking truth.

We "gun enthusiasts", who don't live in blue shitholes, don't live in them for a very good reason. Your postings about having to hide under your bed while criminals operate with impunity are a testimony as to why.
And while you whine about your coddled criminals going about their business, never forget the freedom you have to badmouth your government was bought and paid for from the barrel of a gun and maintained by the blood of the men who carried them.
-
Don't badmouth them too much, or they'll turn on you like a Dobermann, and hunt you down for an enemy.
As for PhDD in the crossfire, we can only hope.

She can buy Kevlar sheets by the yard (http://www.armorco.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=215), so those PhDDs are safe.

Hey DUmbass, aren't your cities safer, you know with all those laws and bullshit you call "gun control"?
Seems to me I'm safer in my neck of the woods with fewer "controls" and more guns.
Just sayin.

Hmmm, the only link I could find to a shooting this weekend in Minneapolis.
This one was downtown, maybe the DUmmy was out on the town when this allegedly happened to her.
I still won't believe it until said DUmmy posts a pic of its bullet riddled vehicle.
There may have been other shootings, but I couldn't find any other links.

Why doesn't she go reason with those doing the shooting? I'm sure her bona fides would so impress the shooters that they'd surrender their weapons to her on the spot and vow to be better people.

She might be a little past the age where whipping out her jugs would make eveyone listen and do what she says.
