Gun carrying man ends stabbing spree at Salt Lake grocery store

Nothing in your rant contains any actual information worth responding to. And note that a poor debater does more harm for their side than good.

So may I politely suggest that you take a little time to better formulate and edit your future responses? Especially if you want to be taken seriously.

You are a poor debater, you don't use any facts, you claim the actual facts are not true because of your opinion... and the list goes on. Like he said, you are the joke of this thread.

Here is another fact for you. Numerous studies have been done and shown that in a given situation, a cop is more likely to take a risky shot that hits an innocent bystander than a person with a CC in the exact same situation. Again, come up with real facts that are not based on your imagination and people might actually take you seriously. Until then, you are the joke of the thread.

Since you're the one who doesn't seem to respect my Constitutional right to disagree with your position in the same way that I DO respect your right to bear arms (just not assault weapons, home arsenals, hollow point ammunition, etc. etc.), why don't you get out first? 8P

No where in any post did I say you can't have an opinion. You are not talking about an opinion only. You are literally saying that citizens are should lose a right. I am saying they should keep a right. Anyone who believes that taking rights away from someone that hasn't done anything wrong does not belong in the USA.

I am an expert marksman with handguns, rifles, and assault rifles. I am therefore neither ignorant about them nor afraid of them.

Then you should know that most assault rifles pale in power next to most any hunting rifle, especially the 5.56 NATO whose ballistics are very close to the .223 Remington hunting round it is derived from (most often used on woodchucks, prairie wolves and other smallish vermin in these parts) and the .308 NATO which was derived from the .308 Winchester, another largely deer hunting round.

Collections are necessary for multi-season hunters, especially if they're also target shooters, just because of using the right tool for the job. For pistols it's more what outfit you may be wearing; a .500 Mag or .50AE is great for pistol hunting but rather tough to conceal. How many screwdrivers, drill bits & hammers does the average homeowner or mechanic own? Same idea.

My friends and colleagues in law enforcement believe that the biggest threat they face next to hollow point bullets in the hands of crackheads are armchair warriors who carry concealed weapons without the proper training in their use...training professionals get DAILY to keep from making life-altering mistakes.

FYI to get a concealed carry license in the vast majority of states applicants has to take classes, usually taught by police officers or the same instructors that train police cadets, and submit to a background check. My sessions were taught by the Police Commissioner, and he had several pieces of advice;

  • don't fire warning shots - shoot to kill. Every warning shot has the potential to hurt an innocent.

  • use HST, Hydra-Shok or some other advanced round to put 'em down quick, again reducing the number of rounds fired and the risk

  • don't use the FMJ (full metal jacket) rounds because they are far more likely to over-penetrate, pass out of your attacker and hit an innocent.

Also: banning or restricting hollow points is hopeless because any bad guy can make their own hollow points - just take a FMJ and apply a drill. Bits up to the task cost <$1 and a cheap table press is $20 at any hock shop. Alternatively, they can make a cut-shell - use a small saw to cut an X in the nose of the bullet.

Any "expert" should know all of that :whistle:

Ive made a hallow point before, not hard at all.

Any "expert" should know all of that...

And nothing in any of my previous posts contradicts anything you've said (that was actually true and factual), does it?

If you've been properly trained, great! Not every state does this as you yourself said. Would you at least agree with me that every state should do this?

I do. And nothing in any of my previous posts contradicts anything (that was actually factual) you've said, did it?

You ever heard of "Multi Quoting?" You don't need multiple posts in order to quote two different people. The button is down there (N)

That's to the state and its people & legislature. This is a Federalist Republic with a large degree of state home rule after all.

Even here in Michigan with our requirement for permits & classes for concealed carry there is no permif or training requirement for un-concealed (AKA open) carry. It's been that way since 1947, and at times (ex: hunting season) you'll see someone walking around town with a pistol on their hip and a rifle or shotgun strapped over their shoulder. No biggie.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
