Just here for the drama.

I read the other day in the retarded media that pistol grips allow a gun to be fired from the hip.

The more you know.

When there's a spree shooting in a gun show, I'll know that the prevalence of guns create violence, and that having one or several is no deterrent.

We've had them in malls, churches, day cares, movie theaters, why not a gun show? A good number of the spree shooters lately have been liberal, it would only make sense to go to where the mean old NRA white guys are and start killing.

In any case, stupid shit happens every day because people are careless. Lost my dad and my best friend from high school due to careless drivers - don't see me campaigning for tighter car restrictions.

That's because slightly scary freedom is better than a padded liberal utopia where you get your ass wiped for you by daddy government.

If you're unarmed, you still have a 5,000lb battering ram at your disposal. Stop (when there's ample room to maneuver on all sides). If aggressor pulls in front of you, back up slightly. If he pulls behind you, move up slightly. Put car in opposite gear and be ready.

When the aggressor exits his vehicle to do his alpha male routine, let him close the distance between his car and yours (about halfway), then run him down. Badasses often forget tactical advantage when their chests are puffed out.

Go to car-wash and spray badass off your bumper.

Looks like something a 12 year old would design. Does it turn into a flying robot?

How many Fuck Obama's did you hear?

I'll be there, Magz wants to carpool with me. We're going to Chuck E. Cheese afterwards, his deal....he likes the band.

There's some awfully mainstream movies being listed for a thread about movies I should not know about.

Hey, anyone seen Star Wars? It's awesome it's about some whiny prick that runs away from home and shacks up with some old creeper.

I love MrColionNoir. He has some great videos.

Obviously he's one of those hateful racist NRA gun-clingers.

Perpetual income. Don't plan to have a fixed sum of money to deplete. Way to easy to deplete it too fast or outlive it. Think of ways that you can make money or have money make money for you when you get too old to work.

Rental income, easy to run business, etc.

Biggie

Yup, I plan on a meth operation well into my 90's.

Executive order #18 on the list: Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

So they DID listen to the NRA, at least a little bit.

Yeah, that jumped out at me too. Either the NRA was right and Obama and everyone on the left was being a cock for calling them hysterical for suggesting armed guards, or the "resource officers" are going to be unarmed, which is about as effective as a rape whistle against a spree-killer.

Gotta be one or the other...either stupid or lying.

The one upbeat thing I got from it was that he's punting the heavy lifting to Congress, I believe knowing a ban is unlikely.

Not sure how to link background checks to mental health database. How does a person get added or removed to this list?

Great thing to do there - politicize mental health practitioners, and compel them to determine who could maybe be a threat. Oh, and do you ever get off the list? It's a great message to send to society - once a sicko always a sicko.

Who wouldn't want to clam the fuck up when speaking to ANYONE in that field knowing your civil rights were about to get stripped?

Further, what protects doctors and therapists from lawsuit such as the one brought today against Holmes psychiatrist? It's going to make people report "threats" that aren't there to be on the safe side.

Need a gun? Well, that makes you paranoid and you're mentally deficient.

This is the building blocks of some scary fucking shit. It's not scary yet, it's the underpinnings of it, the mechanism by which a society starts to criminalize everything and everyone.

If you're not terrified of the ramifications, you're a fucking dumbass with no history books.

I agree with the universal background check system (who is paying for it?) and the tougher penalties for straw sales.

Straw purchases are already illegal and most cases carry a stiff penalty, it's the enforcement that's lacking. And, universal checks are unenforceable nonsense anyway - and places the legal onus on the law-abiding who's selling a legal product to a private party. All feel-good nonsense that just annoys and convolutes the law abiding while doing nothing to stop criminals from doing what they've always done.

It's the War On Drugs for guns now....and how well is that bullshit working? Can you get drugs right now if you want? Bet you know how you could. Same with guns...this won't stop anyone from getting guns nor will it stop crime or violence.

What a fucking disgraceful display of pandering bullshit while our country burns.

I can't listen, I hate that jug-eared motherfucker too much. Makes me sick to my stomach. Everything he says is wrong, and backwards, and full of aids and fail.

Yup, oils and heat are the culprit with smoke. Sesame, Sunflower, some varieties of Canola (labeled as super high heat) oil all have a high smoke point. Avacado oil is the highest I know of.

Soy and Safflower are medium heat oils, good for sauteing and baking. Corn, Olive, Coconut all are lower to mid-heat oils, good for light sauteing and sauces where you want the flavor of the oil to be integral to the dish.

The low smoke point oils like Wheat Germ and Flax Oil are nutritious and taste good, but they'll smoke fast....usually better for sauces or taken directly.

Everyone considering it really should go. We can grab a beer afterwards at The Elevator. That is, of course, if you're not carrying or can safely lock it in your vehicle. Be smart about this one.

I'm safe, I only drink Shirley Temples.

Why hasn't anything been put put to disprove these claims?

A lot of the claims have been put to rest, and people are still talking about them as if they're mysteries (AR in the trunk that was clearly a Saiga shottie), Bushmaster not used in the building (first responders reported numerous AR mags, spent rifle casings, coroner's report of all rifle wounds).

The rest would take a concerted effort on behalf of a "Let's calm the conspiracy theories commission" that doesn't exist. Where should these reports come from? It'll all get released, just like Columbine which was also wildly speculative and full of questions that have been answered to most people's satisfaction.

I like everyone else have a lot of questions, and things appear to be strange, but I will never ascribe to conspiracy (especially by this inept bunch of jackasses running the government) what can easier be described by incompetence.

So far, the Media is mangler of facts and the ones doing the twisting.

I think the scariest of all the legislation is this Psych eval stuff. This will allow the government to pick and choose who they feel can own a gun. Talk out of line, sorry no gun your Unstable or some other non-sense. Do anything they don't like and your all of a sudden prohibited on mental health grounds.

We are on a scary road right now.

I've been saying all along that's the most nefarious part of the law. Not only does it (even if unintentionally) set up a climate where people are reported for potential danger falsely, but it almost guarantees that people who need help will not self-report or submit to psych evaluations that desperately need help. Great way to make the stigma of mental health issues worse, frankly.

Plus, a therapist or counselor might be more inclined to report you for being harmful to cover their ass from potential lawsuits or problems.

What clinical and legal criteria determines "dangerous", by the way? Feelings? Words? A hunch?

This is scary shit, for everyone involved.

I think there's another thread about this, and conspiracies built off of media incompetence aren't very convincing.

I grew up using lard to season, but I don't think it matters too much most any cooking oil works. 2 hours at 350 degrees will season 'em just fine. Using it is the best seasoning, tho, really...especially bacon...gets that flavor in there plus you get bacon.

Shitty reporting doesn't make a conspiracy. I hate Obama and the libtard gun grabbers with a passion, but the amount of people needed to engineer something like this and their ability to shut up and work in concert makes me realize it could never happen. This administration isn't talented enough for that kind of machination.

If by "friendliest", you mean has a school district that is nearly bankrupt, and is over policed, then yes.

They only surveyed police.

I don't know that this is true. The Congress approved and paid for many ships during the Revolutionary War - I've never heard that they only armed them with privately owned weapons.

There were both congressionally owned/funded warships and privateers with Letters of Marquee (outfitted with privately held cannon).

There were also limited numbers of privately owned artillery pieces during the war. I've read that Nathaniel Greene paid for some himself, and retained them after the war and I'm sure he was not alone in that.

The whole point of this was that even during their times significant military advancements were being made and most all of them were aware of technologies on the horizon that would mean greater firepower. Most of the developments were merely too expensive or cumbersome for the battlefield, but they KNEW those things existed and the 2nd was written to protect those items, not to inhibit their ownership.

Arms meant weapons of war, to fight the same weapons as an invader or oppressor, even to include artillery....clearly.

- Mental health professionals must report any person they believe may use a gun illegally to the govt, who may then confiscate the guns.

This one scares me. First, it will greatly increase the amount of people who will not submit to nor self-report their mental problems. Who would? You're risking losing your guns or the ability to ever own one. Great way to make people even less likely to get help. Worse, what are the criteria for diagnoses? Feelings? Opinions? Audible confession? Who says what's a danger and what isn't? It's subjective and fucked up. Terrible law.

- Private sales must go through an FFL unless it is a sale to an immediate family member (as a gift I guess)

Great way to expand the black market, while doing nothing to actually stop harm from guns.

- 10 round mags ARE grandfathered but cannot be loaded with more than 7 rounds. +10 rounds mags must go away.

This only covers semi-auto rifles with detachable mag. Under the 1-feature test an SKS with original wooden stock would still be legal and wouldn't be registered but you cannot load it more than 7 deep.

10/22's with a Butler Creek mag now become assault weapons. Awesome law there, squirrels rejoiced throughout the New York area. Enfield rifles now considered high-capacity weapons.

If you use a fixed mag (the bullet button still appears to be considered a "removable fixed magazine" under this new law, so an AR with a bullet button would not have to be registered. Also, making the AR into a hybrid manual-semi rifle would remove it from having to be registered too (using the Unicorn conversion, wherein the bolt locks open after every shot and must be manually released using a device similar to a magpul battery assist device that is modified to be sear-operated so it cannot just be "held down" to create for semi-auto operation).

All of this just stands in the way of normal, law abiding folks and every single member of the criminal element will still get and use normal guns to do their work without a single care about this bullshit law....while the police and hypocrites still have their "scary" guns at their disposal.

So, every gets 10 round mags or permanently converts their 30 round mags to 10 round max, then installs a bullet button, and they are legal again.

Fuck that miserable stinking liberal shithole, and fuck everyone who cheers for this kind of feel-good draconian bullshit. I hope their violent crime rate goes up, stays up, and they never figure it out. The voting block deserves the low-capacity soft-drink utopia they have begged for.
