- It is still referred to as the Lizzie Borden case, even though she was acquitted.
What "slim" was meaning is that the manner of death would be apparent; ie: bullet holes, stab wounds, etc.
Sullivan discovered the body of Mrs. Borden upstairs in the guest bedroom. Mr. and Mrs. Borden had both been killed by blows from a hatchet, which in the case of Andrew Borden, not only crushed his skull but cleanly split his left eyeball.[4]
Let''s quit "splitting" hairs. They were not shot, stabbed, or strangled. They were killed with a hatchet or axe or a weapon of the same family. - Reply to this comment
- What you are trying to convey is full of holes. No other President signed more gun control laws than Bill Clinton and from 1992 to 2000 gun deaths went down by 12,000. Facts speak loudly against your arguments!~

So, it''s incorrect that we have more violence with gun control laws & stricter ones at that as opposed to when there were fewer laws and less gun deaths??
Your opinions are well taken, but don''t expect everyone to agree with you. Some will fight to the death for their rights.
If I am not a felon, mentally ill or under age, why can''t I have a gun to protect myself? I buy it, maintain it, store it, and if I never have to use it, I am out that money. That is my business, or at least it should be. - Reply to this comment

No,,what he/she said was correct. What you are doing is trolling.
Trying argue with everyone and anybody. You are an illegal alien person, and trying to get us to disarm ourselves. I have seen your posts in the past, and remember them.
You are not fooling anyone, at least not me. I know your politics.

- Lame comparison. Cars are designed to transport people.
Posted by elcantante1 at 05:11 PM : Oct 31, 2008
Not so lame as you would care to think. Yes, cars are designed to transport people. However, alcohol impairs judgement. In the hands of a drunken driver a vehicle is no longer used in the proper manner. If a person knows that drinking & driving kills and still gets behind the wheel and kills someone that is no different than putting a gun to someone''s head and pulls the trigger.
A hand gun was designed for "personal" self defense. Those who use it to take lives, are using it for the wrong purpose, and thus should face a stricter penalty.
In an ideal world, we wouldn''t need guns for safety. Stastics aside, if the criminals have guns and can find illegal ways to obtain them, we have no choice but to keep our rights as they were given to us. - Reply to this comment
- Lizzie Borden was acquitted and the hatchet was not the murder weapon. If you conducted a tiny bit of research from realible sources you''''ll find out how silly your claims are!~

I have and you are just plain wrong, or just a troll.

- All I am trying to convey is that we had less control of guns in the past, and less crime in the past per capita.. As a population increases and space becomes limited, yes, violence will increase and society will degrade. If access to guns means greater violence, why wouldn''t less control breed more violence? Just a thought.
More criminals indicates more crime. As I said before my uncle has had guns in his house for well over 38 years, and has had no gun violence in his family''s history or in his home. He takes proper care to store them properly and educate his family on the safe & proper use.
If a criminal comes into my home with a gun and I am unarmed am I going to die?? Likely yes. Not from my own gun, but the criminal''s. So yes, a criminal bringing a gun into my own home and shooting me in my home will result in a gun death in my home. If I am armed and shoot said gunman in my home, again a gun death in my home. - Reply to this comment
- "Homicides in the United States are more common in states where more households own guns, according to researchers.
posted by schoollord.
And by the same standards, homicides occur where humans live, and reside. Either by gun, by knife, or hatchet....

- LOL,,,Yes that''''s what I meant. Like I said, I didn''''t want to get "too" graphic.
And like in the Lizzie Borden case, I''''m sure the bodies reflected in which the manner of the persons death.
To put it bluntly.

- In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. ___, decided on June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home," and "that the District%u2019s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense."

I always thought so when I read this:

Interesting comment you have there. TMI for me, don''t need to know that much. And, yes I have seen comments from elcantante1 on this thread. - Reply to this comment
- Well, if a person gets shot, the body will reflect that...and well,,without getting graphic,,you know.
Posted by slim1h2o at 04:43 PM : Oct 31, 2008
I know exactly what you mean. The manner of death is usually easy to see, unless it is not from a "physical" injury. But, in the cases of "physical" injuries you can usually tell stab wounds and bullet wounds apart, doesn''t take a CSI to know there is a difference. They are needed though to determine what kind of knife (be it blade, axe, hatchet, etc) or gun was used.
Hope that''s what you meant :) - Reply to this comment
- That is a good point. Being "hacked" would not fit the weapon profile of knifing though. It would come closer to axe or hatchet, especially to do the indicated injuries, splitting the skull for example. A closer weapon might be a butcher''''s meat cleaver, but a hacthet or axe or a weapon of the same family comes closer.

- DANG IT! Now with all of this talk about axes, hatchets, and gun control I am going to have to go home and chop & split some wood and reload some ammunition all weekend long. and I had hoped to get some R&R and watch some phootball.
Posted by docpeter1953 at 04:37 PM : Oct 31, 2008
Phootball, is that similiar to Football?? LOL. Just kidding with you. I think we all need to take things less seriously and remember that violence is part of nature''s way. In this case, the gunman didn''t kill anyone.
Yes there should be stricter penalties for gun violence, perhaps better gun education and programs for people to take gun safety & maintenance lessons. Maintenance isn''t about cleaning, it''s about proper storage too.
Hope you can relax now. - Reply to this comment

- As far as word usages, sometimes people have different words for things. Like in England, they have lifts (elevators), flats (apartments) and I kid you not f a g s (cigarettes).
But yes a hatchet is from and related to the axe family. Unless you''''re "splitting" hairs, they are similiar weapons.

- you are wrong, the bodies were shown to be hacked.
And the only way a can be hacked is by hatchet, or by knife, or an ax.
