A Miracle?

[Scanker19]

So I'm the complete opposite of religious in every way, almost to the point to where I despise all religions.

I do find it almost a miracle how and how fast Congresswoman Giffords is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Its amazing to me anyway.

It seems like it's a miracle because there is a God and there are miracles and this is one of them.

pfft,
silly me, I thought it was because she was hit at an oblique angle, the rapid and professional reaction of the paramedics on scene and the advances in neural medical technology...

goes to show you what I know.

True but just for all that stuff to fall in place is just, well neat. You could shoot someone in the head in the OR with six nuero-surgeons in the room, how many people do you think could survive. Whether you consider this a theological, or medical miracle, its still amazing.

Like the guy who was shot in the face in Iraq with a 9X18mm. I'll see if I can find the article.

Meh,, It's happened before. Just the right angle and such.. I can't recall all the details but, sometime during the 40's or 50's, There was a case where some dude got shot, and it took out the little connecter between the right brain and the left brain. He ended up with steady employment as a subject in right/left brain studies.

Is about as close as I can find. May be bullsheeat though.

I've heard of people trying to kill themselves, shoot them selves in the temple and miss the brain, severe their eye cords (that's a medical term) and live.

Remember the old joke "never trust somebody that bleeds for five days and doesn't die"?
NEVER TRUST SOMEBODY THAT GETS SHOT IN THE BRAIN AND DOES NOT DIE.

"Can you imagine what the enemy thought when he shot you point blank in the face, and you just kept coming at him; Americans are invincible. No wonder he surrendered so fast"


you think?
If I Shoot someone in the face and they just look at me and keep coming I am going to shoot again.

I'm with Byte here, but yeah, it's great that she's gonna live and recover

in a conversation with a democrat that went something like this.
well I don't think there's any reason for those high capacity magazines.
ordinary people shouldn't have them

So you want to make them illegal?

yes, absolutely

SO what about mentally defective people, or people with drug convictions. Should they have guns?

Absolutely not, that should be illegal too.

So what if I Told you that its already illegal for persons that have been adjudicated as mentally defective or that have been convicted of drug abuse to legally purchase a firearm?

I Would say that's Great, but whats that got to do with the guy in AZ?

Well, he was denied by the military for psychological reasons and expelled from a college for the same. He also has drug convictions and multiple encounters with the law enforcement community.

Well why did he have a gun then!?!?

Because criminals don't care about the laws your pass.

Well there should be a law against it!
