I know what I would do and you know what you would do...... but the tragedy is that the people that matter will likely do nothing, and therefore nothing will change. So I guess you are OK with the status quo. most are not Ok, let's say you're king for a day and given power to accomplish any gun related feat and enact any gun related law you choose. What would you do? Isn't the solution, obvious? Let's go after law abiding citizens and take their guns. Then we can ask the criminals nicely, to turn in their weapons. I understand liberals are pushing for more welfare dollars for an entitlement program similar to WIC. Lots of welfare folks can't afford guns. Good thing it wasn't Father's Day...there would have been even more confusion. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Although I believe the truth is the administration is inept at best when it comes to nat'l security I don't believe this will be the death toll for Hillary. As usual the DC 2 step will find some lesser player to take the hit. Remember Iran-Contra was an 18 month affair and didn't hurt George H W Bush in his presidential bid. Please don't dent the planet.

That's because the 170 Billion in Bush's plan went mostly to the taxpayers, not to pay back unions and other campaign supporters. Remember the "shovel ready" blurb? It's funny you guys are still trying to pick up that turd from the clean end. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I disagree here because I think this family should have joined in and gotten a piece of the pie since the other families were already going to sue anyway. I would be interested in knowing why that family didn't join the lawsuit. Maybe they decided they didn't need the money, or could use the money but didn't care because it wasn't going to bring their loved one back. Pilot was also co-owner of the DZ maybe?

I see maybe 2 things that need to change; maybe the TSO process needs to be clarified a bit and have some teeth? I have zero concept of how it works but i have a gut feeling it's kinda like the FDA, where the manufacturer submits data for approval and the regulatory agency just reviews what they've been given. It also seems like riggers might need more involvement. I'm sure some riggers have stuffed reserves into containers that are too small. I know, more regulation isn't popular.

Don't be a tool...tool. The industry standard is 3 seconds. I'll find it over in the Z Hills double fatality thread. Here it is...from John Sherman...There is a misunderstanding among some of the manufacturers as to the requirement of the cutaway tests. I believe that some may have used this misunderstanding for their certification. It has to do with cutaways. With an RSL, which is required on half of the tests, you must deploy within 3 second or 300 feet maximum. Without the RSL you may fall no more than 2 seconds after release before activating the ripcord at which time the reserve must deploy in 3 seconds or 300 feet from pack opening altitude. This 2 additional seconds gives time for more Dynamic Pressure to build up and will produce a faster opening. So be it, it still requires the opening to occur within 300 feet from activation. Some have interpreted this as allowing 5 seconds for the deployment. I know this as several have told me it was their belief. How many manufacturers have published the videos of these tests? The answer is “ONE”. One out of how many, 10 or 12? And you are still buying their equipment? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

By my count the snivel was about 2.5 seconds. I'm thinking 750 feet is too close...no room for a snivelly reserve. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Seems like an extremely slow reserve opening. It appears he reaches line stretch when his feet swing upwards. If the standard is 3 seconds it misses by a long shot. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

A higher education does not mean that someone has wisdom. Wisdom is what is needed to deal with social issues, not a PhD in physics. I wonder how Sheldon Cooper feels. That would be at least as important as Hawkings. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

You're going to have to provide some sort of proof that 'not many' states require contractors to carry insurance. The idea that more regulations somehow would have prevented this is a song sung loudly by the liberals here. In my best Hillary voice..."what difference does it make?" Please don't dent the planet.
