Take away my guns and I'll start brandishing my penis. Nobody wants that.

Is it an assault penis? High-capacity, with a pistol grip, and black?

I think "AK-47", in this case, is a general term used for assault rifles, like "kleenex" for facial tissue, or "coke" for any sugary brown carbonated liquid in the south..

The exact model or make is not the relevant issue.

I don't think he will see much in the way of political backlash since he isn't proposing any new legislation on the issue, just a better enforcement of the current legislation.

Hell, Bill O'Reilly is proposing new regulations on gun laws more than Barack Obama is...go figure that one out.

Oreilly has always been against "assault rifles". Nothing new there, he's a twat.

I was actually kind of hoping he'd take the bait and start parroting Feinstein and Schumer on this....it's a tragedy, he's a liberal, it was fait accompli.

This is just the kind of political suicide I was hoping for. Keep talking Barry.

I wonder if this is why Mitt Romney won't release his tax returns... Maybe he got "laid off" *wink wink* from Bain Capital?

At least he's had a real job at some point in his life.

Bummer, and a new bike to taunt you while you heal, too. Brutal.

Well, take care of yourself and don't push healing!

Probably not posted on the rear exit door. But he did ignore the 'Exit only, do not enter sign'. Guess those don't work either.

He bought a ticket and walked sat down with the rest of the crowd - then went out the back door to arm himself and came back in.

He saw the sticker, but probably was too focused on murdering everyone to contemplate the severe wrist-slapping he would receive for carrying a gun into a theater.

Maybe we need laws banning Heat Miser hair? If we keep throwing enough laws out there, liberals will feel safe.

Every time I go I enjoy myself, but every time I ride and think "this would be fucking awesome if it was 1-way". And, there's no reason whatsoever - NONE - that the network should be laid out bi-directional. There's room for it, there's incentive (safety and more traffic, which is more $$), and the trails can be improved if they're built for 1-way travel that's more sustainable and more fun.

Allegheny NF is one-way trails, and it's a completely different experience to ride without fearing that every turn could end in you facing a UTV with a drunk fat guy barreling at you. Hell, that's even dangerous for the UTV.

I will never understand the motivation to keep it 2-way trails.

I agree with this post with one exception. The need to make head shots at 50 feet is a good skill to have but NOT needed for effective self defense.

It would have been useful in the movie theater but that situation is so rare that it really doesn't count just as banning large capacity magazines will not affect such a rare occasion. I cannot make reliable head shots at 50 feet with a sub compact pistol but very few threats need shooting at that distance. I have back up weapons and carry spares, get in my safety zone as a threat and expect to have an effective fight on your hands.

Not if what I posted earlier is true, and so far there's no confirmation at all to counter it. Holmes was not wearing body armor, just a nylon tac. vest.

A torso shot would have been perfectly sufficient. His helmet wasn't rated for ballistic protection either, IIRC.

This thread is now dildos.

BTW, the Murderous Heat Miser wasn't wearing body armor (just a nylon "assault vest") unless the company that sold it to him is lying, but I haven't heard anything since the initial reports that contradict that the vest was not armored. He was as vulnerable to bullets as his victims were.

About what time did you ride out of Begleys? What type of bikes you have?

I rode through about 3 oclock...on a KDX200. Pokey was on a WRR but he didn't go through the camp (we got separated coming back up the corridor).

Was anyone else down there? I was at Begleys all weekend.

Me and Pokey were there Saturday on our bikes. I rode through Begleys on my way out.

There's a machine shop we use at work that has those posted. I've seen them at a lawyer's office in New Mexico too.

If I showed up in my birthday suit....they'd see I was carrying a "fun"

Strict fun control! For the children.

True, but there a a bunch of android phones that don't make it through your 2 year contract before it won't run the newest version of the OS.

You make a great case for not getting sucked into a contract.

When Apple can make a phone with a micro SD slot, micro-USB mass storage capability, and a battery that doesn't require tools, I'll consider them something other than a fashion accessory. All of those things make a phone something very fun to own...and a bitch when they don't.

I can dual-boot my phone with CM8, 7, or the OEM software. I can easily transfer files, or back up the phone, or load things without tethering to the phone. I can swap fresh batteries in, which means I can use my phone for a REAL gps in the back country, and I can charge it with a ubiquitous charger.

Fuck Apple's draconian proprietary and limited-featured devices.

Liberals engage in phony, histrionic outrage!?!?!? That's new.

I'll post the unpopular statistics...

I'm not anti-gun politically, I'm all for the constitution, but I'm jus sayin' "arm everyone" might not be the right direction based on these stats.

And, just for fun let's look at how many defensive gun uses there were in the same time period. Most don't even generate a statistic (such as scaring someone off with a gun), but for the sake of argument the known statistics (Gary Kleck is a researcher who studied this) was in the millions. Even if his numbers are completely optimistic, many many more people use guns to protect themselves than ever die by them. Overwhelmingly so, even if the number is bloated (and I think it's not).

Also, consider that the overwhelming majority of murders in the US are gang & drug related, and the victims too. Factor those out, and our murder rates are right there with most industrialized western Europe.

But, all of that is semantics because we have a right to bear arms - most of those countries do not, and we're about individual freedoms not collective ones. I still have the right to defend myself from being a victim, even if there are 1,000,000 murders a year in the US. Likewise, if I'm one of the dozens killed in Spain by a gun, or a knife, or fists, what's really important is I'm just as dead but never lived under the freedom of having the tools to do something about it.

That's America, and it beats the fuck out of Europe.

Oh, and for bonus points how many guns were used by Timothy McVeigh to kill 162 people? How many were used during 9/11? How many at the Bath School massacre in Michigan in 1927?

Guns ain't the problem. They never were.

Really? I mean, she's cute and obviously in great shape, but there are other track athletes who are much "hotter."

Yeah, but we're not into the dudes.

PARIS -- The Paris premiere of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" was canceled Friday after a gunman killed at least a dozen people at a Colorado opening of the same film.

The event at a movie theater on the French capital's famed Champs-Elysees Avenue was supposed to include director Christopher Nolan and stars like Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine.

But on Friday afternoon, workers were pulling down the red carpet display. Some could be seen carrying away a large mask that had adorned the facade of the theater.

Warner Bros. said in a statement that it was also canceling all media interviews in the city. The studio said it was "deeply saddened" by the shooting.

Shocking, the French surrender.

SOLD.

Bought this last year, love it big time but it has one flaw which is the neck is a little snug on me, and I've been working out and that's gotten worse instead of better. Just too tight now, and I can't stand it unfastened. My loss, your gain. Jacket only has 2 rides on it, great shape and super in the heat. Fit is a 44 euro, or XL.

$100 FTF in Central Ohio...or will ship for $8. IM me if you're interested.

Bummer, sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking to lose a good dog, but it sounds like you gave her a good life.

She not very good at bowling at all. How did she get on a bowling show?

Bribe, no doubt.

so he's sorry, but he doesn't regret it and it's all god's fault... yeah that's not contradictory at all...

sounds like something a sane and well adjusted human being would say.

You can regret the outcome of something without regretting your actions. I regret that I ran over a dog last month, it's sad, but I don't regret riding or trying to avoid it.

And, this may floor you but some people who believe in God feel that his will is at play even in tragedies, and things happen for a reason that only he understands.

A sand, well-adjusted person would have listened to that and figured it out, but you're eating your own turds at this point in this whole argument.

So when we going?

I'm shooting for mid-October. Gonna try to get a decent group together and rent a cabin down there....there's one I have bookmarked that's on the trail itself.

I'm going to Hatfield McCoy this fall too, but my interest is the single track.
