They should have taken it much further then they did. The defense team should have just come right out and said it when the officer was on the stand. I guess in the end it didn't matter since the jury came back with a guilty verdict because they feared for their personal safety not the evidence,

in one day the number of gun related deaths has gone up from 375 to 398. 23 lives lost because we refuse to find a better way. I guess the view is just better under the sand.

If I won the PowerBall I would buy a couple of suites at arena for all my brothers, sisters & trans-gendered here at Sabre Space :flirt:

Common ground we should all be able to agree on. I have to say, with a couple of exceptions, this has been a very good and challenging discussion.

It is clear what the gun culture is attempting to do. Having 13,000 gun deaths in a year is indefensible. So lets shrink that number by creating a ration or a percentage. Saying that there are only 4.2 (just to toss out a number) per 100,000 isn't that bad. You see, it's not 13,000 it's 4.2., 4.2 is the important number. That doesn't seem that bad. This is just foolishness. Just as foolish as to say 13,000 isn't a dire number because percentage wise it could be much hire compared to the number of households/gun owners. 13,000 lives are too important to be reduce to a Corsi numbers for guns. As for texting while driving, count me as in favor of much stricter laws for texting and driving while impaired. Fines and punishments need to be much much hire. I would love to support federal legislation to stop distracted driving. I lost a cousin to a teenage distracted driver.

You mean they aren't? The pharmacy has a record of every prescription I am given. I would gladly track if need be and turn in any unused portion of a prescription. I don't see a problem with it. Especially if it helps saves a few lives.

How about ESPN Buffalo? Like they have for Boston and other cities. There is enough pro, college and high school sports to support it.

That testimony, in it's self, should have made the vehicle, key and any evidence connected to them, including any DNA, inadmissible.

http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ As you said, the court "interprets" those rules. it is under the Supreme Court's "interpenetration" that the individual's right to bare arms was created. If the founding fathers intended for an amendment for an unalienable right of the individual to bare arms they would have wrote it into the Constitution. Fact is they they didn't, they clearly tied it to "a well regulated militia."

It's all just one part. No single idea is gong to save x amount of lives. It's this fact that the gun culture lives on. They wish to distract from the fact that a series of serious and meaningful laws and regulations designed to alter the course of the current gun culture which is currently out of control will, over time, save lives. Gun legislation under Clinton brought the number of gun related deaths from over 18,000 to it's current level of roughly 11,000 - 12,000 annually. It's time to take that next step. Sorry if the extra 15 minutes it would take to find the casing inconveniences you. :doh: Even under your premise, wouldn't an individuals right not be to killed by a gun supersede an individuals right to own a gun? Anyway, the right for individual ownership is granted by the supreme court not the 2nd amendment. As you have pointed out, the first words are a "A well regulated militia", it is under this premise where an individuals right to bear arms lies. it is clearly a singular thought. It was the supreme court that separated the two ideas of "militia" and "individual." As I pointed out, even the supreme court, under this premise, recognized this is not an absolute right without challenge and is subject to regulation. I think 13,000 lives is cause for such regulation.

The 2nd amendment is a right to bare arms under a well regulated militia. The Supreme Court later ruled that the right belongs to individual citizens. Even with there decision they confirmed the right is not absolute and is open to regulations. When over 13,000 are killed in a year by that lock, I'll take a sledge hammer and what ever is needed to get the job done. We live in a world where buying a gun is as easy as buying a DVD player and far easier than buying some cold medications. This is the insane world we live in. The time for coddling the gun culture and gun nuts is over. Too many people are being gunned down on a daily basis. It's January 12th. Over the first 12 days of the year 375 people have been gunned down. 19 children have been killed/injured by firearms. Tell me again how difficult it is to pickup a few shell casings?

If you are going to endanger your family, neighbors and communities buy bringing in firearms, you shouldn't have any problem with safety checks to help protect the rest of us.

Again, why should anyone care if it's difficult. If you pick guns as a hobby, there must be responsibility for ownership of the weapons and the ammo. Far greater than the perceived responsibility we have today. It should be illegal to transfer ownership of any firearm. At the owners expense they will have to bring in every round and every firearm to a specified inspector. Buy 1,000 rounds you better be able to account for each round or you loose your gun license. Straight, clear and concise.

So guns and ammo just don't go missing or unaccounted for. So guys like that one in California can't just buy guns and ammo and give them to his friends. Buying, owning and maintaining firearms should be more involved than owning and maintaining a car or buying owning or maintaining a home. it's time to put "well regulated" back into "well regulated militia." it's time to use the 2nd amendment as it was intended and take it back from the gun culture.

If Avery had the car and hid it on the property, why would he take the key from the car and bring it to the house. If the key was dropped in the house at the time of the murder, wouldn;t they have looked for it to move the car? Also, Also, the office called in the license plate, year and make of the vehicle to dispatch days after she went missing and before it was found. The police had the vehicle and planted it with the key on the Avery property.

Why is legal to just fire a gun in the woods? How far does a bullet travel? So it's difficult, so what? Trying to save lives, why would anyone care how long it takes you to find your casings? if it's that hard then don't go shooting in the woods?

A gun owner should be able to produce every shell casing without any problem. Each casing should have a serial number. it's not difficult and any cost for inspections fall to the gun owner.

It's not about "faulty guns", I think you know that already. Just in case, it's about accountability. You purchase a gun you are responsible for that gun. You need to produce it yearly for inspection. failure to produce a single gun or rounds registered/licensed to you than you lose all your guns. I'd liek to take credit for this idea, but I stole it from the 2nd Amendment, does "well regulated militia" sound familiar to anyone? It's time for the gun culture to stop blaming other people. It's the guys that sell guns or the mentally ill or terrorists. You're the problem. Until the gun culture takes responsibility for what they have created men, women and children will continue to be gunned down on a daily basis. No "responsible gun owner" can continue to sit on the sidelines and do nothing.

Because the shooting death of this man and his daughter would make the story better? I forget, we live in a fantasy Hollywood world where the dad would been Clint Eastwood and he woudl have killed each assailant with a single shot. :doh: For the millions that the ACA has helped give decent healthcare to it is a godsend. It is a law that actually helps people, go figure. You want to look at a "corporatist" bill. take a good look at what the Republicans just passed. It will make you sick, no pun intended.

The population of the US can double and the number of gun owners can double with the number of gun deaths remaining the same. 13,000 would still be an unacceptable number of gun related deaths because there is no acceptable number of gun related deaths. 13,000 people gunned down is insane and should never happen in a modern society. I mean both. Any rapid fire firearm.

in 1993 there were 18,253 gun related deaths. The country saw a decrease under Bill Clinton. Since then it has been pretty steady. The past three years 12,042, 12,576 and 13,349 which is a pretty steady increase. You can try to spin the numbers all you want, 13,349 men, women and children murdered. Tell me again on how there is no dire problem.

Watching Reinhart play this season has been a real pleasure. I wasn't sure about him when the Sabres drafted him. I was hoping for Sam Bennett. Very glad at this point how things turned out.

"Real gun legislation" is legislation that eliminates automatic weapons and makes the kits converting guns to automatic illegal. Make gun owners responsible for their guns. Yearly inspections and safety checks at the owners expense, just like a vehicle. And ammo accountability, you buy and register 100 rounds, you better be able to account for each round. We need to stop treating guns like toys and treat them for what they truly are, instruments designed for on purpose and that is to kill. Gun ownership should be the hardest thing to achieve, far beyond going to Walmart.com and placing an order.

Gun related deaths in 2014 = 12,576, 2015 = 13,349. That is not significant? You don't find 25,925 gun related deaths over the past two years significant? :doh: And me all out of tissues. If you don't like your situation change it. That's not making light, that's pretty sound advice. Advice given to me at one time I am glad I took it.
