You need to keep bashing your head, because you don't get it: it's not an either/or proposition. Requiring all sellers to be licensed, and all buyers to undergo background checks does not in any way suggest that lawbreakers no longer be prosecuted. If the process of licensing and background...

As long as anyone [including those convicted of domestic violence, and those currently under a restraining order] can buy from private, unlicensed dealers, [online or at gun shows], there are most def NOT enough laws already on the books.

Or it could paint Ms Lerner as someone who, in an email convo with her husband, refers to some of the far right talk radio fans as 'crazies', and even calls them the same name as John Boehner called Steve King: azzholes. :eek: So she didn't call all conservatives crazy or azzholes, just the...

I'd guess products for carrying them concealed.....:p

I don't think it's off topic - just like sex ed, it doesn't matter what the students ought to learn, if their parents object, they won't be taught. And driver's ed ought to be mandatory too - it's unbelievable how many drivers are incapable of executing a left hand turn!

I was thinking more along the lines of evaporation and the movement of clouds. :o

"Passive aggressive"? Not even close: there is nothing passive about that statement, because I don't play coy, I say what I mean. You would have to live in a cave to be unaware of the 'Chicken Little' syndrome on display whenever any effort is made to address the issue of "gun safety". The...

Eventually: all of them.;)

I wanted something less stressful than nursing, but need to be financially self sufficient, and pole dancing wasn't feasible.

On topic: Another reason [if you needed one] to love NASA Bobak Ferdowsi, Adam Steltzner: NASA's Mars rover Curiosity team includes a "mohawk guy." Not just that he looks cool, but that his colleagues chose the hairstyle for that mission. That speaks volumes about the kind of teamwork that...

Re: Forget I bothered You know what made me laugh? The part where the server spilled French onion soup down the customer's back [cheese and all!], customer complained to manager, and was given a banana. A banana? That's freakin hilarious, that is. ;)

It's also straight up cutting in line when there isn't supposed to be a merge, but certain lanes [entrances to the interstate, especially] get backed up, and many drivers will not wait in line, because they're special. :rolleyes:

If your assumption is wrong, and the point Target and other businesses are trying to make with their 'gun free zones' is that they don't want to have their business disrupted by groups of people intent on making their own [idealogical] point, then I'd say the gun free zones work. The blatant...

NASA contributed greatly to the field of science fiction writing, as well, creating the genre of 'hard science' fiction. These books are written by rocket scientists [like astrophysicists], and they help make science and technology a bit more understandable to readers. I see that as a huge...

Mn drivers are no more or less courteous than others [they're generally nicer in person, lol], but the Mn DOT is smarter than the states that permit chaos merging. This is fair and orderly: win/win. Plus, it takes all the fun out of it for the bullies who bypass everyone to cut in at the front...

From the person who titled the thread "Another dumber than dirt demoncrat [sic]", and wondered how a Governor who supports armed security in schools could place political hatred of guns ahead of security for students - how could anyone possibly think it's political? :rolleyes:

Judging by the news bits I've read, that employee would then get fired for violating some company policy, and unemployment compensation would definitely be denied. Unless he's lucky enough to get publicity for the good deed, he probably won't find another job, and will become another of those...

"Liberal college students posing as dumb crackers", huh? Apparently, you did read the comments, lol. But why should anyone need to exert themselves to make 2nd Amendment supporters look bad, when there's so many examples like the one I mentioned, where 2 separate citizens reported a weapon...

I guess their target audience excludes women, then. Eliminating half the population doesn't seem like a wise strategy to me, but what do I know, right? [Only that women buy weapons, too.] If I were looking for that product, I wouldn't buy it from a company that sees women as decorative [long as...
