FBI: More People Killed with Hammers, Clubs Each Year than Rifles

Posted by UncommonSense 13 years, 3 months ago to Politics

They'll be after your military-style, assault Hammers should they succeed with the rifles. Better stock up on nails and spikes now...lol. The comment in the article left by Rick Jones made me laugh hard. What a sense of humor.

My favorite takeaway FTA: "And it seems fairly obvious that if more people had a gun, less [sic] people would be inclined to try to hit them in the head with a hammer."

Can someone please invent a rapid fire machine staple gun with a 250,000 round magazine for hollow point home defense staples?

  I think you just identified a new industry. You better get started. I'll contact Reardon Steel for pricing...

  They do have rapid fire nail guns that you can load with coils of nails, but don't tell anyone, they will be on the list next. That Estwing hammer he is holding comes in 16oz and 20 oz. Think I will go bury mine in the yard before they come after them too...

    Sorry, you can't bury them in the yard, they'll find them with the ground-penetrating radar!

    Okay...good for starters...but I still want a huge capacity magazine (I mean staple strip holder), and explosive staples. :) And some sort of accuracy mechanism. "I'm headin' to the range to zero-in my stapler!"

      this reminds me of the Girl with The Dragon Tattoo- it was very effective in stopping the monster who had no feeling

        Ooooh good book. I only read the first one though (saw all 3 parts of the movie, Swedish version.)

        ok, I rarely admit this. I saw the first one 5 times, the second one 3 times, the third one once- swedish versions. I'm pretty fluent in swedish now.

        Old Airstreams are cool. Have you ever seen that movie with Lucy and Desi Arnaz where they buy a trailer to honeymoon and live in..... It's pretty funny. The Long Long Trailer. (I have never listened to an audio book.)

        I don't think the "task" of sitting (riding in an airstream, or pulling one)....combined with the "task" of listening... can really be called "multi-tasking". :) Sounds more like total relaxation (and yes...I'm a little jealous).

        omg, pull an old thing, then we'll talk. especially if you are a front seat driver. it is exhausting. I am still recuperating and I haven't "pulled" for 3 months now.

        Oh yes...when we moved across the country...pulling a uHaul (with an infant too), was very exhausting. I forgot that part. It's scary. Traffic is no fun. And I always felt like everywhere was a blind spot. When I climbed out of the truck, once we got here, I declared "Never again am I making that drive!" And so far I haven't. You'll forget about it too...after 20 years. :)

        I think there should be an award for hitting a permalink. As if it's a mile stone of some kind. "And the Permalinker of the Year goes tooooo....."

        you should have gave me a point for that-but since you didn't-I guess you are a a little worried about me. I loved the books. they were amazing on so many levels-and she was a fighter-depended on no one. now did I agree with everything, every perspective in the books-hell no.

        I suck at point giving!!! I liked her...and didn't like her at the same time. Excellently written book though. Do you know the back story on the author? The little that I know is interesting...

        I was wondering if that had been resolved yet. Yeah..sad. We may never get to read it at this rate. And I think it needs to be finished too, right?

        Actually, I do a lot of woodworking and that is the only hammer I will use. Have built a house and business, so lots of hammering experience..

        wow, that's cool. you just referred to using it in place of your gun above- with all your woodworking skills it's interesting that you also run a restaurant. did I get that right? what's the best thing on your menu and what is the cleverest thing you've built?

        Steamed Maryland crabs & broiled crab cakes on the menu...
        
        Built an arched bridge (16' L x 4'w) to go over my pond, caused quite a ruckus and the town assessed it at
        $ 4600.00, including it in my property assessment. You could walk over it, but it was a lawn ornament... I enjoy woodworking as a hobby, but only make what I need for myself. Furniture, shelves, bathroom cabinets, decoration things... (go to craft sales and if I see something I really like, I go home & make it). Built my house, framed walls, rafters, roof & shingles, insulation, drywall, paint, so a DIY'er. I was kidding about replacing my gun with a hammer... the blue handle gave it away....

        awesome. you may have to be my US mecca the next time that happens-because seriously I practically implode (or spontaneously combust-pick your poison) when I'm in the States. I'm really glad to have met you and looking forward to your insights in the gulch

        Thank you and enjoy your posts. You would appreciate this, I put the bridge on a float in our town parade with a sign, why close another bridge in DE, and that same town council had to hand me a 3' - 1st place trophy... then I won a 12 page decision in court of how they unfairly re-appraised my property by $110,000. (no money, just a decision) so I've never been one to NOT fight the system. I am getting really tired of it though... So where are you ??

        Love it. Did you hang a sign on the bridge saying, "I built this of my own free will?"
