Her mother was killed by Moon Se Gwang, who is considered as North's agent in Korea, but I believe North Korea denies this. So she might not be too fond of North Korea, but we will have to see. And North Korea might not be fond of Park Geun Hye as well since Park Chung Hee was part of Japanese army during World War II and they could always use that fact to attack her.

However a gun can be effective without firing a shot. An intruder can be scared off by the sound of a shotgun action being cycled. even if that action is not attached to the weapon.

Put another way, "hoplophobes" may be afraid of the evil that people with guns can perpetuate, but the people who want to arm themselves with guns for protection fear the exact same thing. The only difference is in the conclusion that each side reaches with regard to how best to protect themselves. Valid argument. It's also a valid argument to say that people with guns become bolder and more willing to challenge others than people without guns. The question isn't so much about what's effective or not, it's about the prevalence of how these things play out in the real world.

I check that site once in a while to get & keep up with their "insights"... and get a chuckle at some of the contributors when they exude complete resignation on some topics (yeah... because that's just the way it is) and outrage over small, minor things they see wrong in the real (and digital) world Quote:
Laws are already in place... they just need the "drive"! Quote:

This is considered news as well, though the whole thing I in the gun control thread as that will likely be the venue for debate/discussion:

---------------- Aquino signs sin tax bill into law -- it's now a law, so expect the "bad" favorites to be more expensive to buy than ever. But what's annoying are the non-smoker/non-drinker "clean living" types going around the internet bragging how much they're healthy and why the smoking/drinking public should "convert" and "embrace" their new "religion of health", although the tobacco industry is known for some ethically questionable practices. At any rate, I'll have to use the vape more often.

I'm sorry but that's a resort to dictionary assertion and anyone familiar with military tactics will tell you a shield is a weapon. It makes you sound like you don't really know the topic.

I have no doubt that in war that is true, but I am a civilian living a civilian life and in civilian life what I said stands, no ands, ifs or buts. Whether people in the USA believe they live in a war is not for me to determine.
