The creator of the AR-15 himself said the purpose of the gun was to kill human beings in combat scenarios and never even used it for protection or for hunting. If that doesn't prove it has no right to be held in civilian hands then I don't know what does.

Ronald Reagan also supported the Brady assault weapons ban in 1991 before it was ultimately passed in 1993. But conservatives don't mention that because Saint Ron would never do the "wrong" Conservative thing (support gun control), even if it was for the "right" Conservative reasons (being horribly racist).

Stay tuned for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. We might just get our wish.

You missed a great opportunity to say "Their. Happy?" in this post. Would've been pretty funny.

Hey, don't give the gun violence epidemic too much time in the spotlight, it's not the only thing that sets us apart from our fellow "civilized," first-world nations. Let's not forget our overcrowded prison system full of non-violent drug offenders being molded into hardened criminals!

Yeah, I don't know a single person who honestly believes that the right to bear arms isn't an individual right (although, to be fair, the ultra-conservative Supreme Court majority that decided this interpretation of the Amendment wasn't exactly the most unbiased bunch and it is highly likely that the Founding Fathers…

So we're not going to discuss the possibility of Martin Mull having actually found the missing ballots? Seems like we could be staring down the barrel of a "Getting the Band Back Toghether" season 6 as Selina mounts a challenge to what happened. I'm sure Catherine's documentary will get out too, considering how many…

No, you know, Lyanna, the sister of Ned? She was kidnapped several years before the start of the series and died in childbirth? I think they've been flashing back to it or something a few times this year.

Unless that wasn't Varys but Daario after having convinced a Red Priestess to disguise him.

Saw the off-Broadway show and it was one of the best theater experiences I've had. Hopefully I can snag some tickets to this.

No, didn't you watch the episode? Lyanna died at the Tower of Joy after giving birth to Jon Snow. She can't be the queen.

I mean, this was justice. Also she's killed before, this isn't anything new.

Well, they certainly shocked me tonight, I don't know about anyone else. I guess we're done with the days of "All the major stuff happens in episode 9 and then the finales are just winding down episodes." Literally everyone is dead in King's Landing except for Cersei and Qyburn (and Jaime, although he wasn't there…

Literally that and Arya somehow not only making it back to Westeros already but also somehow getting all the way inland to The Twins made absolutely no sense. But at least Arya's scene was so epic that I didn't even care about logic.

Never will. Can't. It made even less sense to renew Aquarius in the same announcement. Ratings were just as bad and the show wasn't anywhere near as critically beloved. And it cost them almost nothing to air the show because they didn't pay to produce it. I would counter that there is literally no world where it made…

Oh, fuck off Salke/NBC. I mean, really. Your barren wasteland of a channel lost its last shred of credibility when you cancelled Hannibal. And as if that wasn't enough you renewed Aquarius in the same announcement. Cancel whatever you want to now, nobody with any sense of taste is watching any of it anyway.

You're thinking of Bruce Almighty.

Anthony Mackie is secretly suicidal. Literally the last thing he wanted for his career was to be stuck playing a superhero that flies with mechanical wings and hangs out with Captain America. Marvel literally had to beg him to accept a role.

No they've whitewashed the role. Morales will be played in this incarnation by Michael Keaton.
