Do any of the articles say how it was packaged? For all we know she mailed it in a jiffy-pak envelope.
I did a brief stint at UPS one Christmas season, and learned that people will pack anything in any way they want without consideration for the realities of shipping. One guy brought in a large unsealed box half-filled with glass vials and no packing material, ignoring the fact that even getting the box down the conveyor belt system to the trucks in the same building was likely to shatter them.
TL;DR - don’t assume someone who would ship a loaded weapon is the sort of person to pack it sensibly.
Not shouting. Just pointing to the actual words. Something you do not have. Use all the projection you want, but it won’t affect that.
If it’s in the Constitution, just show us where. You’ve already failed a couple of times.
Then they should have said so, shouldn’t they?
Given that they thought a Constitution was even necessary, one that empowered the government to suppress rebellions by use of a military capability they guaranteed, neither did they.
What have you to offer that isn’t merely a product of your imagination?
A case not to have firearms in your home: I just got home from a memorial service for my nephew Christopher, who had no trouble finding the well-hidden handgun my brother had in his bedroom. Until the police showed him the gun, he swore to them that his gun was still well-hidden in his room.
The number of times over the years my brother had felt the need for the handgun to use against possible intruders prior to his son’s suicide? Zero.
He still has some collector’s items rifles in the house, but there are no handguns in the house now.
I know you’ll give one of your trademark idiotic non-answers, but I’m morbidly fascinated by words issuing from a suppurating anal fistula. You’re kind of like the world’s most disgusting ventriloquist act.
You are nothing, if not predictable. Ignorant, predictable knobs like you, Hentor, et al are the very best kind of opponents. With you leading the charge for gun control, it is only a matter of time until every state in the union is shall-issue. Now, tell us again about how everybody is only one bad day from being a mass murderer. That part of the ventriloquist act is the part I havecome to find the funniest.
Scumpup, you’re a giant chickenshit pussy. Just a huge quivering frightened mass of wuss. The kind of simpering spineless ninny that makes young children feel ashamed for them.
I’m not so sure of this. Were I packing an item, I would endeavour to not use more packaging than would be necessary - assuming that’s true of most people, the barrel of the gun might, first of all, not be packed parallel to the container at all, or in a package with regular sides (though presumably done in such a manner so as to conceal the contents). Even if we assume a gun packed in a cuboid package with barrel parallel with the long side, the barrel isn’t going to be pointing central to the short side, but off-center. I’ve tried picking up boxes of varying weights, and generally with anything that isn’t feather-light I seem to place my hands centrally, likely to be safe from the path of a bullet. I thought for a moment that of course this might simply be a smaller gun where there isn’t much of a gap between the center of the package and the likely location of the barrel path, but as you say this particular gun is a large handgun, it seems that’s discountable.
And, of course, though you’re correct it isn’t necessarily so, there’s also the possibility that the gun is randomly positioned. Even if we say that the chances of the gun being uniformly packed vs. randomly packed is 50/50, that would cut your 50% estimate (minus the problems I’ve already mentioned) to 25% (Technically not; it would be much less than that, given the higher scope for non-threatening-bullet-paths with the random packing, and we’ve not even considered other people in the room, but this is purely for the sake of argument).
Maybe so. Even if that were so, my side is still winning because of you and people like you. The NRA should be cutting you a check every month. We couldn’t hire actors to portray the ignorant, violently bad tempered, dishonest anti as effectively as you, ElvisL1ves, and the rest of your lot are in this thead. The most agreeable part is I know all of you are out there on other boards cementing this image of gun control proponents. You guys are heroes of the RKBA.
