Homeland Security Video - Confront Shooter With Scissors
Homeland security says you should use scissors to confront a gunman. Really? This article contains a video from HS talking about options if a "crazed gunman" invades your workplace.
Homeland Security has advice for confronting mass murders: scissors - NYPOST.com
It's really getting ridiculous now.

Hey, it's part of Obama's effort to reduce gun violence. Apparently nothing calms down an active shooter better than a good haircut. Just sit them down and ask what they want, just a trim or a full cut and styling.

Well... At least I no longer need to carry my Department of Homeland Security Active Shooter Pocket Card. I'll just download this instruction video series on my iPhone. When confronted with an Active Shooter.... just press play.

Does WISS make evil BLACK SCISSORS?
If they do, the BLACK ones would NOT BE ALLOWED, or limited to a very short length.

Beats nothing
Howdy,
I'm not much for DHS. I did not read or listen to what was said.
I don't think it is bad for them to promote ARMING yourself when under attack.
Could work in our favor.
If it came down between a pair of scissors or a cream pie I know what I'd pick.
Thanks
Mike

That video borders on the ridiculous. If I was anti-gun in the workplace before I would be reconsidering my position.
Turn off the lights and cower behind a piece of 1/2" particle board waiting to be a victim? Make a kamakazi run at an armed person with evil intent with a pair of scissors?
Someone please tell me that this isn't the best Ms. Napolitano and HLS could come up with as an instructional aid to office workers.
My question is; do you still flock with the other sheep even when you know you're headed to the slaughter house?

I found the way to end......
Hey, we can end the ammo shortage within a month. Let Homeland Security cancel all of the ammo they have ordered AND BUY SCISSORS!!
Homeland Security is now 'well armed' & we get to buy ammo from the cancellation. A win-win situation, No?

LOL, wow this is funny. Sad but funny. My Victorinox scissors are gonna help me fight off a nut with an AK? Did they legalize pot in DC or sumthin? They have got to be smoking sumthin. Heck I think I would have to take up self defense via karate or something to maybe at least have a chance to disarm the crazy guy.

The video did offer an alternative to a sissors attack. You can crawl under your desk and hide, and wait for help to arrive. Thank God for the DHS, always looking out for us citizens and doing such a good job of keeping our airports safe. I feel so much better, and safer.

Not around my house. My wife sews, quilts, etc. and has more scissors than I have guns. She even has a pair of scissors with a screwdriver on the end of one handle and a bottle opener on the other handle. She was making fun of the HS video and I told her she should practice throwing her scissors like a knife.

The book’s name escapes me, but it was about the Navy SEALS, and my attention was drawn to this stellar group’s agreement that it wasn’t BUDS, Sniper School, HALO jumps or cold water training they felt to be the toughest challenge, no it was scissor survival school…. Again though, what the SEALS and Hollywood fantasy does with the usage of scissors is well beyond what an amateur can manage, hence my support for semi-auto scissors ONLY in our society. Un-licensed full auto-scissoring would be simply wrong in our society IMO.

Just wait, before long, they'll be talk of needing to stop the horrific "scissor violence." "SAVE OUR CHILDREN!, STOP THE MADNESS!, LET'S GET SCISSORS OFF OUR STREETS!" "People don't need Assault Scissors, there is nothing in the Second Ammendment saying that people have a right to own military-style, Assault Scissors!"
Aside from the government control issues/reasons behind gun control, there are other factors at play. The nerds, wimps, and uninitiated will never rest until we are all just like them... Have you listened to NPR lately, there is not a male commentator on that network that has any functioning testosterone. Scissors would still be too much for that crowd to bear. They won't stand for anything that represents self reliance, self determination, or anything related to primal courage / self preservation via exertion of force. They want to deny human nature, and what is necessary to address it. The fact that these types dominate the media plays great for the political forces, and their agenda.
After scissors, we'll be reduced to snapping wet towels at our adversaries. That'll leave a mark!
Just some rambling thoughts... Peace

Is there a blade length on the ones for personal use? I mean can I carry a 6 inch scissors or would I be kept down at 4 inches or less?
Do they have to be concealed or are we to have open carry?
Who does the background check on these terrible weapons of war?
There are so many legal matters involved in getting and carrying these things where do we start? The sheriff's office or do we go straight to the BATF idiots?
I can just imagine the taxes that will now be levied on scissors. Oh, and by the way are "pinking shears" to be included in all this?
Just my two cents.

I really hope no one is hurt watching that ridiculous video and following it. I hope who ever authorized it understands that if someone is hurt because of it on there hands.
Its really easy to make fun of the video but really its scary. What happens when some parent shows it to there kids and say this is what you do? The kids wouldn't know any better. Seriously what kid would think there parents advice would put them in harms way.
Putting out a video like this is seriously irresponsible on our Government's part. I really really think they should have to do what they preach. Maybe they stop releasing ridiculous bill's and video's.
I bet if someone suggested there secret service/body guards gave up there hi-cap mags, full auto pistols/machine guns. Any other military style armaments they have they be up in arms. Keep in mind 99.9% of American's who would use a gun in SD has a single civilian style semi automatic firearm. They don't have the elected officials multiple body guards armed to the teeth.
Kinda makes you wonder how many rounds of ammo, mags, and guns they have to protect the people who wanna disarm us. I will bet all the money in the world its more then 10 rounds split between them all.

Naw forget the scissors. I can use a straw as a dagger.
Or if i can get my hands on a quarter it becomes a throwing
star in my capable hands. Give me a toothpick and i'll have
that gun toting bad guy wishing he was somewheres else.
That's our Gov't at work fellas......Sad so very sad......

And to think, we paid an untold number federal union "workers" to think this excrement up and then make a video about it.
Money well spent.

Why not just issue every Govt. Office a model 640-1 next to the Govt. issue stapler. I would think 5 rounds of 357B would beat scissors any day.

After a few workplace scissor stabbings, our paper cutting implements will look like this. Any employee needing these cuttingl instruments will be required to check them out from an armored locker after signing the required form.

Re: Homeland Security Video - Confront Shooter With Scissors
If you have a rubber band and some paper clips you could straighten them out a little and shoot them at the gunman. Just remember to aim for his eyes.
If toure in NY careful, you are only aloud 7 shots

You wait. The first time someone tries this and manages to put a scratch on the shooter, the shooter will sue, the company, the person using the scissors, and the company who made the scissors. They will win.
There will then be a movement to ban scissors.

Reminds me of the "duck and cover" films of the 50's. It advised that after a nuclear attack we should go directly home where our mothers would wash all our clothing.

Yes, there is a tactical model:
Black and Decker even offers battery operated full automatic scissors. I'm not sure if those are a NFA item or not.
Probably need to check with the BATFES* on those Black and Deckers. (*Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and Scissors.)

Homeland Security Video - Confront Shooter With Scissors
Are .40 caliber scissors available at Office Depot? And do they require a background check?
Wait. Isn't this the same outfit that recommended senior citizens defecate on themselves in a mugging?

I just got this wild visual in my head of important political figures being guarded with secret service looking men with overcoats on. Instead of uzi's under their coats you can see the sinister outline of...wait for it.... scissors!!!
This here's a fun thread. Happy friday.
