  1. Exactly, but the argument (for the Pro-guns) was that the weapon used was not an automatic but a semi-automatic and therefore it would be the same as having a semi-automatic handgun. The amount of bullets said gun can have in one clip is really the issue and even then, the pro-gun people don't think that is a problem either. So it isn't the gun or the laws allowing for guns which is the problem. It is the person who had the gun.
  2. I am the black sheep in the family as I am not an NRA member... I would say that a large majority of friends/family are gun owners.... which makes "mowing them down at family gatherings" dangerous as they would be better armed than me. If they post something on FB that I disagree with I just scroll right by... but after Orlando it is 98% of the posts. And it isn't just the conservatives... it is the liberals as well. For as many people talking about the "right to bear arms", there are just as many people talking about automatic weapons gunning down innocents in a blaze of glory. Both sides are the extreme and both sides are wrong.
  3. One website (Huffington Post I believe) had posted a video where they had a reporter walk into a gunshop in Orlando (after the shooting and in a state of emergency) and purchase an AR-15. They had timed the process and it was all done and dusted within 38 minutes. The clerk had stated that it took longer than it normally does due to the increase in people buying the weapon after the shooting. My Facebook is swamped with people arguing over "gun control", the difference between "automatic" and "semi-automatic" weapons, and the role of the 2nd Amendment. I am seriously considering deleting my account...
  4. I heard that they will be addressing the L+R=J in the next couple of episodes.
  5. Just why the fuck does he keep going on about the fucking weather??? It's glorious here in sunny South Florida! A lovely 28 degrees . Wind is ENE 13 km/h. Humidity is 56%. Dew Point at 19 degrees. Pressure is 1019.0 mb and a UV Index of 7 of 10. Do I win something?
  6. What would be more beneficial to the club? Boycotting and protesting Ashley to leave making the manager's position even less appealing to Benitez or that the hierarchy of the club convince Benitez to stay the year in the Championship but with Rafa, comes Charnley, Carr, et al? Not being facetious by the way. This is the issue as I see it.
  7. Preferably with the same gun....
  8. It was the wife that wanted to know the gender of the baby right away. The wife had the Harmony test at 10 weeks into the pregnancy to test for any genetic disorders but it can also determine the gender of the baby so we found out pretty early on. Been a dad for seven months now and it has been an incredible time. Enjoy it SEW
  9. I actually think the opposite. Tyrion will probably be the one that survives everyone else.
  10. I could see Stoke going for a win against the mackems as they will want to make up for the game today.
  11. Really excited to see them as I have heard nothing but good things about their shows...
  12. Going to Gogol Bordello with Frank Turner the opening act.
  13. [conspiracy theory] Coloccini has suffered a "setback" really means he is boycotting playing for the club due to the way Jonas was treated [/conspiracy theory]
  14. What are the odds that Mitrovic would stay if/when we get relegated, anyways?
  15. could someone please explain what an "agony aunt" is(/was)?
  16. Can't stand the Orlando area. Lived there for a while and haven't been back since (going on ten years now) except for the odd visit to the parks when the English relatives are in town. The only thing I miss would be the bar scene in the downtown area. Kissimmee is the worst part of it all tbh.
