Weave

I think a reasonable limit is 10rounds. Firearm sales. Evolved = changed to reflect reality.

The real reason for global warming...

At least you accept that you need to atone for your unclean thoughts....

I'm still a firm believer in the right to own firearms. My main break from most is, I don't think we can have high capacity magazines in the hands of the general public anymore. And I think a background check for all sales is a reasonable accommodation. As long as due process is available for those that are turned down, I don't understand the complaints of 2nd amendment advocates. And I think the NRA has been playing their members like so many string puppets. For as long as the NRA has been in my consciousness (early 80's at least) they've been telling their members that gun ownership is in imminent danger. That's 35 or so years at least that they have been crying the sky is falling. They've been lying because it is profitable for them to lie. And that isn't the only lie. Here's your fake news.....

Crazy people will find a way with less frequency as the supply tightens over time. Noone is expecting perfection. The biggest issue I see with 2nd amendment advocates is that they want to throw away ideas that will improve the rate of these events because they are not perfect. There are no perfect solutions, but there are better ones. Its difficult to justify status quo without coming off as selfish.

Why wouldn't they have commented on that post that they hit the rabbit with their car so the fuss over poison stops?

Yeah, this is a weird criticism of Sullivan. He was an opinion columnist, not a reporter.

Every law impacts law abiding citizens more than criminals until they are caught. We get impacted specifically so we CAN react to the sociopaths. As for why should the law abiding be impacted, my mind has changed alot on this. Society has changed. I think we all know this. Mass shootings weren't a thing when I was in grade school. They are now. And have been since Columbine in '99. That's most of a generation now. The cry always is that things need to go back to the way they were. But that is not possible, and not reasonable or rational. The evolution has had many inputs, most of them we probably couldn't change if we wanted to. We can't turn it back. All we can do is react to what society is now. And I think society has reached a point where things like high capacity magazines just can't be put out there for general access any more. The percentage of people capable of doing terrible things with them are still incredibly low, but higher than it ever was before, and most importantly, high enough that it is having a terrible effect. The effect of limiting access to things like high capacity magazines won't be immediate. There are too many in circulation, and as you said, too many that people won't hand them in, but if we never make any changes, the sociopaths will continue to shoot up buildings in perpetuity. At some point we have to determine that it is time to make the change so somewhere in the future some nut job that want's to shoot up a building won't have access to the tools he needs to do it. If that is a generation away, so be it. At least we'll have started the process of making these things unobtainable to the sociopath down the road. I don't see where any suggested law limiting access to things like high capacity magazines would have an affect on your ability to defend yourself, unless you are planning to defend yourself from your government, and as a member of the military I'm sure you are well aware of the futility of attempting to defending yourself against your government.

Yeah, it is pretty damning evidence.

I used to feel that way. I totally get the "what works there doesn't work here" mindset. I live in a predominately rural county. Things work differently here than they do in the urban and suburban areas. I don't want my county to do things the way that Erie, Monroe, etc. do it. It's just different here. The needs are different. But the biggest problem I see with leaving it fully with the states is the interstate movement of firearms. We all know that illegal weapons in NY, MI, IL etc aren't originating in those states, for the most part. Same with magazines and other accessories. And I've also become cynical enough that I don't trust the firearm industry any more than I trust the pharmaceutical industry. Or the finance industry. Or the insurance industry. There is no growth in the firearms business in sales to regular gun owners. Hunting is a decreasing pastime. Places to shoot recreationally are going away. Fewer and fewer people own the bulk of the firearms today. That industry should be shrinking, yet it's not really. Hmmm.... My spider sense tingles.

Que?? Seems to me that they have come together. It's a marriage of convenience, but it's a marriage. Find a Republican in Congress or Senate willing to disagree publicly with the President. How many? 2? 3? They are in lock step right now.

I coached my sons baseball teams for 6 seasons. Def the most rewarding thing I ever did.

The wall switch could have failed. Ive had it happen....

A bridge deal was a hedged bet. Protection to better assure a positive outcome. It's low risk, but low reward. If Sam didn't improve, it didn't cost much (relatively) and it eliminates the possibility of a bad deal. It's also low reward because if Sam did perform (which he did), his next contract is full market value. No discount. Sam's deal suggests to me that Jason Botteril is risk averse. Explains his preference for college prospects too. I'm not sure that is a champion's trait, unfortunately. But it is safe one.

You better listen to him, Wingnut. He's in pre-med.

Imagine what Quick's average would have been under Bylsma then.... In 20 years children would be singing songs about him.

I'm guessing Radar is still interpreting ROR's locker cleanout comments as him quitting on team, regardless of the fact that his production and effort right down to the very end indicates otherwise.

Saw this take on Twitter last night and I pretty much agree with it. Paraphrasing..... Botteril had to know that his best chance of resigning Skinner would be if Skinner meshed with Jack and his production reflected it. So, he had to know he was trading for a guy whose value would go through the roof if it worked out. He had to expect that the current level of negotiation was the result if things went as planned. If he didn't expect this, then the trade was essentially for a rental. In a bombshell of a season. Signing or not signing Skinner will be a huge reflection of Botteril's competence.

“The paper” in the first line of this excerpt is The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reports that the United States Navy, under orders from the White House and with the approval of the acting secretary of defense and the compliance of a chain of naval officers in the Seventh Fleet, did its efficient best to conceal the name John McCain from President Donald Trump’s sight when he recently visited Yokosuka Naval Base. The ship is under repair, so it could not be moved. But sailors hung a tarp over the ship’s name, and other measures (a strategically positioned barge) helped obscure the offending words. Sailors were told to remove all coverings that might indicate that the ship is the USS John S. McCain.

If Inkman and Swamp are in, I’ll commit.

I think they’d word it as “my other RIDE is a longhorn”. And you decide which meaning is intended.

You’re plenty fine...

If the team is worth a ticket purchase I could be motivated...

And I was late to the game at like page 6. 8.5M just makes so much sense.

I think that was called on page 2, or at least it seems that way.
