Yes, but I would also use it for other situations. If I were attacked by multiple people with knives and I had a gun, I can guarantee to you I wouldn't be stabbed...

Fair point, and in fact I'm not thinking in a complete ban of guns... I just think that's extremely easy to get one (probably easier than a car or a house). As I said before, for better or for worse, those are your laws. Usually I don't get in yours back and forth chats about weapons/politics/etc, because they don't concern me. But, as a parent, this was a really sad story, and a shock that a young man grabbed the weapons of his mother and then went to shoot her, and 25+ other human beings (with 20 or more children). Seriously, I can't even describe you how sick and sad that makes me fell only for remember.

Also, in the zombie apocalypse, would you rather have a knife and a baseball bat, or a shotgun and a rifle? ;-P

Actually, according to the Left 4 Dead series... a loud gun will only bring more zombies against me ;P

So... hurt/kill someone or something. What I'm mean is that the ultimate goal of a weapon is to hurt or kill someone, there's no other use to them. I don't see anything wrong with hunting (I mean, I have never hunted something, but I understand that a lot of people like it). Would you use it to self-defense against another gun?

Until existing laws are enforced, that is the only right answer.

So, you kill someone related to a BIG drug delear... and you put you and your family at risk of a vendetta. Yes, that sound right.

In Mexico, however, the government is apparently just as corrupt as the people they're supposed to be apprehending, at least in the jurisdictions that matter.

Yeah, I know (I'm not playing a blind man, you know?) But, I firmly believe that (in the last years at least) the goverment is trying to control the BIG cartels (and the corruption is waaaay below that level). I mean, a low drug delear will not come out killing innocent people.

The problem is that they're probably working *for* another drug lord (that's paying them more than all the others) to help exterminate the competition.

"probably" is the keyword. Yes, I know how corrupt is/was the goverment, but I think that if we had an easy access to guns, this would be a utter chaos. At least they are doing their job (step by step), and now there's more in play (polliticaly) than ever...

Yes... and what's the point? That we all should be armed in the streets to kill THAT bad guys? Yes, I can't see how that could go wrong... That's the work of the police and the army... and they are doing their jobs (more slowly that I want, but they are catching a lot of drug lords -the problem is that the head grow faster again).

No, I won't look it up, because that's no the point (for me and my point, at least). I didn't wanted to bring the China story (because it has been used again and again in one day), but sadly it's EXACTLY my point. You think that I want a revolver gun instead of a "NFA title 2" gun against me? with all due respect (because, believe me, I'm not trying to troll you or someone else here), you keep saying that if someone grab a bat or a knife and kill someone (or more people) we should ban the bats or the knifes (at least ironically)... but it's not the same case. A bat is not a weapon... a knife is not a weapon. You use a bat to play baseball, you use a knife in the kitchen, you use a chair to sit down, you use a car to drive, etc etc etc... You can use all of these things to hurt/kill someone? Yes, of course... you can use almost any thing to do that. What else can you do with a gun? A gun is made to hurt someone... there's no other use to that thing. Don't you think that the context is completly different?

A lot of people are dying by being shot. So your claim is obviously specious since certainly people can get guns and ammunition. And it appears a lot of them can get them.
 
And the fact that there are illegal doesn't seem to stop people dieing from them.

Look, I'm not telling (as you can see in my other messages) that people can't get a gun in my country... that would be ridiculous. What I'm saying is [and here is where I don't understand your "specious" claim] that most of the news that you hear about people diying in violents acts (related to guns) are because of the war between the drug cartels and/or the police. And if you believe that THOSE guns were purchased in the streets, sorry, you are wrong.

jschell wrote:

There is NO direct correlation between guns themselves and mass shootings. That is a cultural difference. Obviously more guns means more possibilities but the cultural is the driving force.

Yes, I can understand your point... but if your culture actually involve a [relative] lot of people using to harm others [kids in this case!!!], why can't you get a little more laws to actually get a gun? Again, look... I'm not criticising all of you [pro or anti gun], because I don't live in your country. I'm only saying what it would be my stance if I were. Like I said to JSOP: your laws, for good or for worse... so be it.

Well, you seem to be confusing the organized crime (drug delears, narcos, mafia, cartels, etc...) with "normal" people... All that criminals bring their guns and ammo from USA, all the "small" criminals need to buy their guns and ammo in the streets, wich is very difficult to do. You don't hear about someone going postal in my country (I'm not saying that someone can't get a gun and kill someone else, but it's not as frecuent as in your country). All that massive killings (wich are very ashamed of, btw) are part of vendettas between 2 or more cartels (or people related to them).

Not physical, at least...

But Mexico also has very restrictive gun laws and getting a gun there is said to be not difficult at all.

Sorry, but that's not true... Besides, the ammo is pretty dificult to get too...

Neither to the pro-gun crowd... except for their "freedom" to have one. I think that, right now, it's pretty easy to have someone to attack you with a gun or a knife (well, not THAT easy, but we are in context right here)... why don't regulate at least the most dangerous of them? But, hey, I'm from México... so I only care about this because I'm a father and the story is freakin painful... so, have the laws that you want/deserve.

And 28 days later, The Mummy Returns...

Siempre puedes utilizar el traductor de Google para intentar dejar legible tu pregunta en otro idioma. Tambien puedes intentar en http://traductor.babylon.com/[^] Hace mucho que no utilizo WPF, por lo que por el momento no puedo ayudarte, pero voy a intentar investigar y si encuentro algo que te ayude te lo haré saber.

Creo que necesitas hacer referencia al dataset que llena el combobox, no al valor de texto del mismo Por cierto, intenta poner tus preguntas en ingles en este sitio, por que muy pocas personas podrán contestarte en español (no es imposible, pero no es lo mas recomendable). I think you need to get the dataset value in the ComboBox, not the text in the CB itself. BTW, try posting your questions in english, because too few people will answer your question in spanish.

Thanks Pete!

It's looking really good (clean and simply). But, it feels strange... how old was the last design? Congratulations, and thank you for giving us this amazing site. Cheers!

If someone can't get those terms without a compass, probably he doesn't need to know wich one is a backslash...
