They have a long lead-in time to availability, and are limited to taking down one person at a time.
You could also say this about Tasers too, subjectively of course.
AFAIK Tasers are also a single shot weapon, unless you are talking about the XREP which is one of the reasons the Police are asking for "looser" control over their firearms.
Then there is the political bargaining angle, from the police point of view, that you ask for a mountain when all you really want is a molehill. -
The War on Drugs is real, because we have already conducted it against China & won.
Well not quite. That was a war with or of drugs, using drugs as a weapon. War on drugs is more like "Wow Man, this is killing me or someone, far out and groovy"

Worth a look.

I have to come clean, as it were. A little foible I have is to Google someones name with the word badger, like "Grant Dexter" Badger and see what comes up. In his case I got.
It just wouldn't do for jetset playboy and Wimbledon champion Grant Dexter to pull media executive and feisty young woman-in-a-man's-world Dallas-Starshine down onto his black, satin-sheeted bed, just as his hairy bollocks swung into full view of Camera One and he started slapping lard onto her unwelcoming and unprepared nether regions
And
That would leave us viewers to picture the sweaty scene in our minds. It would also allow the more imaginative and disturbed among us to include a man in a badger suit, the Dagenham Girl Pipers and a performing donkey in the bedroom scene without any extra cost to the producers.
Yours was so much better.

Can we let this go?
Only too glad to Robyn.
Grant is not here on his own free will, if he has any left. He has been sent here as a troll by the "Collaborators Project" to either "convert" us or have us Label as "Permanent Collaborator Status"
Do not reply or even acknowledge him. If you must mention him, keep it in the third person ie. "He" or "Him" Generally, just ignore him. With luck he will slide off to his game forum or go back to whatever he does on BeBo. -
Come on you lot! If abortion is really that certain then surely you should be able to defend your positions
I quote this just so you can read it again Grunt. It doesn't make sense does it?
The thing that I find most frustrating about you and your ilk is that you have such double standards. There is no consistency in your judgements unless you confine them to a very narrow viewpoint. That is why you find it so difficult here, we just aren't narrow minded enough for you. Many of the people you associate with, yes I did find out quite a lot about you and your pals, have views that condone acts and practices that I am sure most on this forum would find abhorrent and against all we hold good.
As for defending our positions. Here on PAS we hold dear the ability to speak and discuss freely, without fear of being ridiculed or punished for our beliefs or opinions. We are tolerant, we do not insist others live their lives the way we want them to. We empathise and sympathise, even with you.
So open your eyes Grant, it's a big world out there and there is so much to learn, so much to enjoy. Life is too short, sometimes as short as a single breath, anything less than that is no life at all. -
Hoist on his own... well, whatever.
Petard.
Which among our French readers will raise a smile if not a guffaw.
A petard is a small explosive device that was, apparently, used to blow off door locks. The key words here are Blow and Off and as every prep-schooler and French linguist, knows is a euphemism for a Fart.
So, yes Hoist on his own Fart. -
Surely the whole point of the EFA was to reduce, if not eliminate, undue influence arising from an imbalance of financial resources?
-
So what defence do we have against publications like the Herald running a campaign?
It seems to me that it would be far too easy for National to win the election on the backing of the Herald alone on a nod and a wink through the "Old Boy's" Network. -
How did I manage to get it ALL Grey?
