There are, literally, millions of law abiding gun owners that go every day without killing people. Does it seem reasonable to you to remove their freedoms because of the actions of one, or 5, or 10 mentally unstable individuals? Does that seem fair to you?

Meh. You’ve cited a handful of animals that aren’t that common to hunt in the U.S. You could easily create an elite hunting license that allows for these applications but still makes these rifles difficult enough to obtain. (For instance, you could be required to go out with a registered guide and spot the animal you

The guy sitting next to me was upset by that.

And whenever you try to “rationally” tell someone from the left that AR-type rifles are not the major problem when it comes to gun violence, but small arms like pistols and revolvers account for more than 90% of all gun violence in the US, the left stick their head in the sand and calls you a liar....

Yeah instead of surge pricing you just can’t get a cab at all when demand is too high. Way better.

So I just went and listened to the police chief’s statement. The idea that the officers couldn’t hear witnesses yelling to them is kind of questionable given the timeline - first officer rolls up, encounters the guy, calls for backup, backup arrives, then they shoot him. Sounds like there was a decent amount of time

Yeah, I can’t wait until somebody complains that she used the “sexism card” to, like, make everybody stop talking and listen to her.

Yeah, I bought a cheap set of over-ear bluetooth headphones for use while walking the dogs and was amazed that they basically don’t work outside (in NYC). I have to hold the phone at chest level to get a tolerable experience.

I find it ironic that it’s so popular now to flip out when anyone suggests that Trump voters as a group are dumb. “Keep saying half of america is stupid,” people say, “you’ll lose the next election too!” This despite the fact that, by definition, they voted for a man who claimed that he’d magically be able to get

The only other time I’ve heard it it was in reference to cops beating people after they arrest them. So, not a fan.

But the system told him he’d never amount to nuthin! And lo it has come to pass. If that ain’t teachers’ fault I don’t know whose it is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a sizeable percentage of cops who are just not turning them on as a form of protest (since, in their mind, this is a new phenomenon and they didn’t agree to wear them when they took the job and they can go through a whole union grievance over it if they get disciplined.) And, not

Even worse, she could be Rachel Dolezal.

Close, but somehow the photo-op will be staged so that no real person is within microphone distance. He’ll go on and on about how great it was of him to fly down there and Obama wouldn’t have done the same, and how everybody is thrilled that he has such compassion. People will make fun of it and then other dumb

Sadly, it appears that as long as he can fill a convention hall with fawning assholes he feels loved. He thinks his bad poll numbers are just lies.

“Otherwise though, let transgenders in the military...”

There was some vague reference to a “tour guide” in the original account (contradicting the other BS about just happening to pop in), so yeah, this is what it sounded like.

My wife insists on this, and then of course sometimes I start showering with the bathmat still draped over the side of the tub and now the edge is wet and she is going to notice and why can’t I just live in my own fucking house with my own fucking rules.

Yeah, people who insist that banning most firearms for civilians is “impossible” just refuse to really contemplate how we could go about it. It reminds me of the Simpsons quote, “we’ve tried *nuthin* and we’re all out of ideas!”

“...small minded loons already drowning in the dust bin of history that should be ignored.”
