Tied him to a fence till police arrived.

His self defense actions may have gotten him arrested in Briton...and probably started a movement to ban staple guns.


The video talked about how the life of the attacker was spared...and a comment warned that the home owner should watch his back as the assailant look like someone who might seek revenge....


With that thought, has anyone else considered the possibility of using lethal force when justified by law, even if you could avoid it, with the intent of avoiding the possibility of revenge?

Guns don't kill people.  STAPLES kill people???  I love a happy ending--especially when it stars an "Old Guy."  But 51??  I would challenge him on that statement.  Heck, I still had both my hips at 51...

The sad thing is that these people will do this again and again. He should not have left us with a tax burden. We will pay for these two dirt bags attorneys and the prosecutors, and their new homes of three hots an two cots.

Ban them! Ban them all!

I have a few staple guns in my collection...... but they've never been fired in anger.

A staple gun is a tool, people.


;D

All the real operators know that the most tacticoolerific staple gun is a Bostich USO-56-1. It features Pneumatic operation for high production felt, insulation and other light wire stapling applications.  Lightweight magnesium design for added durability Oil-free operation requires no regular maintenance and eliminates the risk of oil stains. Ultra-quiet rear exhaust directs air away from the user. Molded rubber grip designed to minimize fatigue...
Caliber 7/16... Magazine capacity 120... Match trigger...
Ammunition cost is very reasonable at $3.99 for 1200 rounds....

Congress is debating the extent of the new law.  Should it apply to staplers in general?  Or, should it only apply to "semi-automatic" staplers?  Maybe they should limit it to staplers holding more than 8 staples in their magazines???  But, gentlemen, something has got to be done to stop stapler crime!

now that I think about it, a hand held stapler would make a very good impact weapon.  they are heavy, metal and have a nice handle on them.


If it was a hammer stapler, you would get a bouns with every hit...   ;D

What we need is common sense staple gun control reform. 

If you outlaw staple guns, only outlaws will have staple guns.

We need to have a 72 hour cooling off period before people are allowed to pick up their staple guns.

We also need to limit them to just one staple gun a month.

Hey guys, I just found this:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71HEC7Y1Y3L._SL500_AA280_.gif)

on www.staplegunbroker.com

It is the latest incarnation of the Stanley-Bostitch H2B slap stapler/hammer tacker.

The seller says it hasn't seen many staples...just a few and it has been a safe queen ever since.

What do ya'll think is a good price?

Wait...what!?

Huh?

 :P
