MMMM... as this is a no-troll forum so I am leaning on your comments being intended as humorous?
Just to balance a tad.. I'm really bored from over-tiredness today..
1. Perfectly legal [I]semi-automatic [/I]at the time for private ownership in Florida and pretty much everywhere else? Banned in California, blame the Terminator ironically, he understands the difference between anti-personnel and anti-materiel in a domestic setting. Somehow a semi .50 that can be seen fire 6 shots in 1 second ( See Youtube) was classed as a sports hunting rifle with fewer restrictions than on handguns? with a .50 (and the really cool shells) you don't even need to be in the building, how convenient is that for the busy domestic terrorist.
I can imagine some industry spokesperson explaining how nobody was struck by a shot from the .50 but cinder blocks need to be made more safe due to their fragments ridding victim's bodies.
2. I was not trying to buy it, he was trying to sell it fairly aggressively. I doubt he was in any legal difficulty in that county. I just picked it up though if I had exchanged money I probably would have been naughty, filthy socialist(ish) foreigner that I am.
3. I'm not Colombian, I have devastating blue eyes I'm told and slightly blonde hair Actually a lot of Colombians are blue-eyed blondes in a particular region. I mention this as it maybe had something to do with how the encounter went.
4. Medellin is lovely now, big changes in the past decade since the wicked witch died. Enough was enough, even the cartel bosses agreed the city was beyond livable and co-operated. The world could learn a lot from Medellin. Some weird laws enacted but they worked, e.g. a man is not allowed be passenger on a motorcycle. A chica, no problem. It had a remarkable effect on the then rampant bike assassinations and robberies. Also the rider is required to have his licence tag on his jacket, matching the bike. Additionally they moved to a civic model (in Medellin) that is far closer to true democracy. Ok its not Switzerland but all these rolling votes on public policies and civic projects have been remarkably effective.
Of course there is corruption as however heavenly Medellin is now, its still on planet Earth.
I guess the people of Antiocia Provence, of which Medellin is the capital, are in nature most similar to moderate conservatives that were pretty dominant in the US when I was a kid... until their functional extinction (at least in politics) after 2001 and the dawn of the Idiocracy Democritus of Abdera's stupid brother always said his time would come... who knew?
I'm pretty sure a .50 would have got two ducks (oldie but a goodie)

In an era of mass slaughter by Islamic terrorists, it is surprising to find a prominent Republican like David Stockman calling for repeal of the 2nd Amendment to leave Americans as defenseless as the 159 pitiful Parisians recently shot down like dogs. Democrats yes, Republicans no.
Not at all: the most negative stocks are those selling weapons and ammunition.
Now the exports of both will shrink to a minimum.
No shootings expected.
And that is exactly the way the Communists like it.
So the Chinese Communist Party would be proud of this woman.

The fatal road-rage shooting of a 19-year-old exchange student after an Arizona fender-bender has sparked heated debate on gun control — in China.
"I was planning on sending my kid to the U.S. for university but now I am thinking twice about that decision," one concerned mother wrote. "Though the pollution in China is bad, that is safer than a country where having a gun is legal."
But NOT so proud of these Chinese exchange students.
Quoting
"The incident has prompted many students to consider buying guns," one Chinese ASU student told the China Daily newspaper Tuesday. "A student in my class has six guns. I myself consider buying one, too."
It is NOT the American way to disarm all law abiding women for what one woman criminal does.
But it is the Chinese Communist way.
And that is, at least partly, why rape is common in China.
Quoting
Rape is a common crime in China. Marital rape is not illegal in China.
Try telling that to well armed Chinese women........ and men too.
Gun control is a prerequisite to tyranny!

In July 2012, for example, a 23-year-old mother became pregnant with her second child. Local officials arrested her, seven months into her pregnancy, and demanded her family pay $6,000 in fines for violating the one-child policy. When the family couldn't get the money together, the officials gave her an injection that killed the baby, whom the mother delivered stillborn while in police custody.
