Then you misunderstood my point by exactly 180 degrees

There were no particularly strong gun laws back then, other than the law against the general public having access to automatic weapons. Those have been outlawed since 1935 with only a few exceptions that were addressed in 1986. Back then, guns were treated as a right that wasn't to be infringed...

Did you not get the point I made about treating the symptom instead of the underlying cause. Banning guns is nothing more than handing out boxes of Kleenex. If you ban guns, then poison gas and knives and homemade bombs will become the new "too easy." We protect our citizens by first beginning...

When you have a runny nose, you blow your nose and use nasal spray or antihistamines to dry it up. But the underlying condition that caused the runny nose remains untreated. People calling for more gun control, or increasingly, gun confiscation, are doing the exact same thing, leaving the...

Came home for a few weeks and promptly picked up some kind of flu bug or something. Fever, sore throat, coughing up Elmer's glue, the whole bit. Now after 3 weeks I'm coming out of it. In the meantime, my stepdad decided to buy a house half a block away (we've been renting a house for a paltry...

Setting aside the fact that Clapper is a professional liar and that whatever he says should be taken at the very least as a partial obfuscation of the truth, his poetic waxings on protecting Trump from the Russians fall flat on its face. If there was even a scintilla of truth to what Clapper...

And with the driver and truck shortage being what it is, you can expect more and more shippers to try and load heavy. I don't think it will be as prevalent in expediting, but there are simply not enough trucks and drivers to haul the freight these days, so shippers are trying to load as much as...

If your company isn't on the top boards, then you definitely want to be where the most freight is located. That's Portland, Tacoma. But if you need to get to Michigan by the end of the week, you're 3 days away already. I'd start driving east on 84/80 and hope to pick something up along the way.

Portland

John Brennan spied on members of Congress, got caught, and lied about it. James Clapper spied on Americans, got caught, and lied about it. Obama spied on journalists, got caught, and lied about it. Obama's Intelligence apparatus, FBI and DOJ spied on a rival political campaign for political...

How many NRA members have been involved in a mass shooting? The answer is one. And that one shot a mass shooter.

No, but the Constitution says that, though. The right or the people (that would be everyone) to keep and bear arms (whatever gun they want) shall not be infringed (no restrictions).

The genie can be put back in the bottle, but it'll take as much time to put it back in as it has to let it out. One or two generations. I think it's interesting that the one thing that all school shooters have in common is Facebook. Not that that's a cause. It's a symptom.

Make sure the placard has a solid or dashed border of a contrasting color.

He was just musing about these two tables.

There's not a whole lot about the FMCSA that's particular logical. But with hazardous materials it does follow a certain logic. The purpose of the HAZMAT regulations is to protect the public, the environment, and the driver, in that order, from unreasonable risk of harm when transporting...

A CDL with a HAZMAT endorsement is required to haul any hazardous material in a quantity which requires placards. If the material quantity doesn't require placards, it doesn't require a CDL or an endorsement. Whether the material requires placards is the determining factor as to whether a CDL...

There are lots of things Americans are fascinated with that I don't fully understand. Chia pets, pet rocks, reality TV, Asian women, gluten, horoscopes, organic foods that have nonetheless been slathered with organic pesticides, it's a long list.
