SecularMotion
(7,981 posts)It's a notice for a speech by the assistant director of federal legislation at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. He's an advocate for tighter gun laws. It may be of interest to Democrats who support reasonable regulations of firearms as stated in our party's 2012 platform.
Got a problem with that?

(881 posts)If they had listed some of his arguments then I'd keep quiet, but there's nothing here. If you don't want people posting to your google dumps then don't post them. Get over yourself.

You are not being stalked.

(17,671 posts)This group is a big megaphone for his ideological spam. It's our job to shut the fuck up and accept it or we're stalkers.
That's how chickenshit ideologies work.

(59 posts)I'm pretty sure that both titanium, copper, and lead are non-magnetic. Therefore not going to come up on a typical scan. That assumes the slugs are copper jacketed.
The titanium plate and six titanium screws in my neck have never set off a metal detector.

(2,927 posts)... metal detectors detect the relative conductivity, not the magnetic field of, of items being scanned -- so both ferrous and non-ferrous materials are detected.
The reason your screws don't set off a detector is because of the threshold settings of airport machines are tuned to detect but not alarm on smaller items like fillings and surgical pins.
slackmaster
(60,567 posts)Your plate and screws are probably below the threshold of detection.
There are firearms that have almost no ferrous metal parts. This one has a magnesium/aluminum allow frame and a titanium alloy cylinder. Only the barrel sleeve, a few small screws, and the springs are ferromagnetic.

(8,142 posts)That is your point, right? That you are going to attend.
Or is this just a public service announcment for those in the colorado area?

(18,585 posts)He goes around campuses pimping closing the so-called "gun show loophole" (which had nothing to do with the shooting of which he was a victim) for money.
Why should we listen to a paid shill?
