Yes, to be able to buy a gun she did, in fact, have to be a law abiding person. I did notice that NYC gun bans didn't prevent a criminal from having and using a gun in NYC. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

On second thought.... I have decided you and your childish antics are not worth the effort. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Got it... you admit you can't act like an adult. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Try asking again without the lame personal jabs. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

No, he didn't do anything to deserve it. I mean he was in office 2-3 weeks before he was nominated. Still as others have said it was more a Bush/current US bash than anything. And the NPP lost ALL my respect when Yasser Arafat won it in 1994. It should be awarded for actions, not for political pandering. Still, I liked Obama's speech. He showed massive backbone there. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

You should not lose much if any accuracy at the range. I have a 10.5" AR that I can still hit out to 100y with. Now.... Personally if this is a fun gun and you like it... I'd just buy another that is setup like you want. If the company is out of business, you might have a gun that could be collectible someday.

His point is that is you want to claim it is for medical reasons.... Then using the SAME standards as other medical drugs should be required.... Now if you want to try and claim it is recreational... Then you need to push that and then try to get it sold at Walmart. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Actually, WE can. Like when you throw the emotional argument out that some other Country's have longer life expectancies.... Then when we claim it is do to life style choices (over all health), we just trashed your claim.... But you continue to make the incorrect comparison that Govt HC leads to longer life spans. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

If they are ALREADY getting HC now.... Why is giving them HC going to cost another 1T????? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

And a large difference between them is that one should be allowed to go under (even if the Govt does not let them, they should go under) and the other will never go under no matter how badly they are run. So what you seem to support is a GOVERNMENT program that no matter how badly it is run will never be held accountable for its performance, yet you bitch about private company's that run the exact same way.

What it is is a smaller than normal return for most businesses. DZ's do better and we joke about how little money they make. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

It was a closed bolt semi auto mac10... No worse than any other semi auto pistol. In fact, it is a huge POS. People buy them cause they LOOK evil, but in truth they are crap. They are VERY picky on the ammo... This is why it probably jammed... Although even with good ammo they jam. And as others have said... Guns are illegal in NYC already. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Looking at the pics on the page, I would have picked the darker one as well. And that's based on him standing in front of the Capital. It looks more Presidential. Now I know they claimed that the adjusted for this by swapping the darkness and the pose.... But the first one looked like a karaoke pose and no matter what the lightness level I would have never picked that one. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

When is the last time you were forced to inject a life ending drug into someone? Or even offered? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

But you know that's not how the Govt works. They will just ADD to the deficit, and not cut anything. They will try to raise taxes to cover the deficit, but politics will prevent them from balancing the budget since everyone wants free stuff. The point is that even you agree that the Govt runs the military poorly... And at a cost that is MUCH higher than any other Country. Really? http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2005-03-08-our-view_x.htm That's your idea of running well? And again, you know that is not how things work. They will just add to the deficit again. Blame the Unions. They tried to artificially increase wages to a point that it became less expensive to ship those items than have them built here. But you do want to compare private to public, so the analogy is valid. You may like it.... But you know it will also never happen. Any politician that makes the suggestions you are will be crucified.... And you know it. And I am sure most people would like jump tickets to be free as well... The problem is that your business would soon fold if that happened. People may LIKE things... But that does not change the FACTS. Like how these programs are not sustainable. Tax and spend.... Throwing money does not solve the problems. So your solution is to attack the homeless and eat away at what little money they have? YES..... But the answer is not to tax them to be even more broke. Your words, not mine. Must be your opinion, not mine. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Your words, not mine. I just think following a path you know will fail is a stupid move. At a cost that is more than the other leading 10 Country's combined. There is no doubt that just throwing money at a problem CAN fix some things... But at what cost? The US is running a deficit and your solution is to just ignore it and spend MORE on another project that will most likely fail? And your solution is to just ignore the balance sheets and pay no attention to the actual plan. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

And has the worst civil rights record anywhere. One of the reasons China is doing so well is that they have artificially locked in the value of the Yen. You just seem to hate Capitalism so much that you don't care what it takes to take it down. Your only goal is to turn the US into a Socialist or Communist state. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

You think the military runs well? You think the roads are run well? http://www.startribune.com/local/65160682.html?elr=KArksi8D3PE7_8yc+D3aiUo8D3PE7_eyc+D3aiUeyc+D3aUU You think public schools are doing a better job than private Universities? Medicare is not running well either. Unless you plan on taxing the homeless.... It is not everyone pays. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Because they offer a better service than the USPS. But funny how you ignored how UPS is , BY LAW, not allowed to compete with the USPS. Anecdote != Data. They are not "free". You pay for them. Again you ignore that BY LAW UPS/FedEx is NOT ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH THE USPS..... And I have cite the law.... Yet you STILL ignore it. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

So it is better we follow down the path that has failed before... Just so we "fit in"? Sorry, basic economic theories do not support this. 1. Demand goes up, PRICES go up. As prices go up, company's would try to enter the market if there was a chance they could turn a profit.... But since the whole idea of a public option is to control costs you will instead see company's LEAVE the market further reducing supply and therefore INCREASING price in everything but the PO..... Of course the PO will also increase in cost, but that will just be added to the deficit. 2. HC would fall under what is called an "inelastic demand". Normal supply demand curves don't apply anyway.... Gas is another example, but it is even more flexible than HC. 3. You keep saying there is ALREADY demand.... So why hasn't supply already adapted like you claim? Times like a war you mean? Like the wars we have now? Then all you will have left is the Govt in charge of your HC.... You know, the same people who can't run SS, medicaid, medicare.... The same people who buy 400 hammers. Yeah, the Govt is good at controlling costs. I find it funny you complain about the deficit... Till you REALLY like the program, then it is fine to add to it. Well, you can't just make up shit and expect everyone to accept it.... Especially when you jump all over others for doing it. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

I have done this EXACT same thing in another thread... No matter that my Wife SOLD HC plans and I was able to pull up plan after plan..... They still claimed they didn't exist Simple fact is they just don't care about the facts... They want HC and are not willing to pay for it themselves. They want EVERYONE to have to pay for it so they can get it for "free".

Worth repeating It is clear that some just do not care about the cost. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Allah = God... Just a different name. Because I have read the Bible, not the Quran. I know sections of the Bible, not the Quran. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Maybe, but total belief in him does not make a fat man pop down my chimney with a sack full of toys. Just as I feel total belief in God does not mean there is a heaven. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Please answer why God suddenly stopped contacting people like he is claimed to have done in the past. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
