Ahh, there we go. I believe Ashbrook was talking about the rifle that Roof had in his car but didn’t use in the shooting. My bad.

I heard Tom Ashbrook say on On Point this week that Dylan Roof’s mother was the one who purchased the semi-automatic rifle, not Dylan Roof himself. I can’t confirm, but regardless of the veracity, I think that’s something that probably needs to be addressed in legislation as well.

In the unlikely event that this bill is passed, it will definitely be a step in the right direction, and I will eagerly give kudos to the representatives who sponsored the bill. But since it doesn’t address the private sale loophole, which is a pretty massive oversight in my opinion, the Fix NICS Act will fall far…

This guy is an expert in ghosts. Murdering him would only result in an afterlife-long appointment.

As a teetotaler, Trump swore off any association with the bar long ago.

So, I could either pay hundreds of dollars to play as a hero with all the bells and whistles, or I could pay hundreds of dollars to buy a couple friends a some Xboxes and actually be a hero. Tough decision...

I REALLY enjoyed The Flame in the Flood. Such a fun challenge crafting snares and weapons and rigging your raft like Huckleberry Finn. And the music is just beautiful.

Is there any particular dash cam you recommend?

I hear you. With Thanksgiving only two weeks away, we are staring into the abyss that is “season”. Fucking Winter is Coming, and the White(-Haired Old Ladies with) Walkers will descend upon us soon.

Is Deion Sanders double-jointed in all of the fingers on his left hand? Or have they all been broken at some point during his career? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Thank God those shoulder pads make it impossible to see the clavicle snap. That’s number two on the list of injuries that make my stomach churn, right after knees flexing the wrong way. As a Vikings fan, I’m grateful for the win and a more competitive conference, but DAMN, I would never ask for it like this.

Since this is the only Panthers-related story on Deadspin today, I’m posting this here:

Counterpoint: it would be nice to see both Chicago and Pittsburgh fail to reach the postseason altogether. Aren’t you tired of watching the same handful of teams compete in the finals year after year?

Isn’t it obvious? Tie-games are for the pussies in the NFL. The NHL eschewed them years ago, but they figure not getting beaten in regulation is worth more than losing outright.

Which warning signals have you heard of that indicated the Vegas shooter was a “fucking nut”? He had no criminal or violent history. The guy wasn’t on anybody’s radar because he appears to have been a law-abiding citizen. On the surface, nothing separates him from the crowd of law-abiding, responsible gun owners…

What if we use clocks that only count up to 60 seconds per minute?

What kind of access does the public have to Lt. Abbott’s performance record as a police officer? Has he ever pulled out his service weapon or been involved in a shooting with a black target? Has a black person that he pulled over ever filed a complaint against him for discriminatory behavior? I’m not a lawyer, but it…

I learned my lesson with D1 and will be patiently waiting for the Kotaku review of Destiny 2 before considering laying down $60 for this game. I’m done blindly pre-ordering based on beta content and hearsay. Bungie burned us too many times with their shitty business model.

“What options do we have left?” Cantwell asks.

On a sort of related tangent, I was daydreaming about a CoD-style game in which you play the battle medic. Think Hacksaw Ridge if you saw that movie. I could get into a game that lets you save lives and limbs.
