  1. As I think about it, I guess I wouldn't mind if Mr. Moran who gave me a C in art got the boot.
  2. Theoretically locking guards make sense, in reality, however, we seem unable to convince people to not leave loaded pistols laying around in a house with kids. Except for law enforcement, the military, and liquor store night shift operators etc. I'm damned if I can see any use for a pistol, except as a collectors investment. If you're hunting with it you're simply increasing the degree of difficulty. That makes no sense. If you think you're going to wake up at 2AM after a normal cocktail hour, pull it from under your pillow, and do other than shoot your foot you're already not thinking clearly.
  3. I do business with a Waco, TX company; Scarlett O'Hara is pinkish by comparison. While he was President I asked a contact how folks there could justify Trump and the reply was: we don't like what he say's or how he behaves but we like his policies. The bottom line is that brain dead buffoonery will never be his downfall.
  4. Agreed. Except you want no change to the current legal scheme which is 100% responsible for the proliferation, and worse assimilation, of guns of mass destruction in our country. But go ahead and post a graph showing that plinking rabbits with a .22 caliber rifle is as safe as eating cotton candy at the county fair proving once and for all that AR-15 assault style weapons and glock's with ETS 30 round clips are simply harmless wonders of engineering and if you gathered them all up and weighed them it wouldn't amount to a pinch of doo-doo compared to the weight of the universe.
  5. Well, there we have it sport fans, and from BillE his own self: the solution to gun problems and proliferation is taxes and fees. A big shout out to the gun lobby for lighting the way.
  6. Are you shitting me? That? What a bunch of backwoods asshats. Time to ban France, I guess.
  7. "Stand your Ground for Jesus!" Catchy, no? And, for a bonus, guess which Supreme Court would likely see that as entirely reasonable thing to do?
  8. You'll always be able to make that point from time to time. As someone who keeps a defense weapon at home, and who believes high risk retailers should be licensed to have a useful weapon at hand, I say good. But at least for me that isn't the argument and I really wish proponents of assault weapons would cease defaulting to it. This is the argument: an ostensible preacher armed to the teeth with ridiculous weapons is legal to attend a political speech by a Democratic candidate. That is counter conducive to free speech and shouldn't be allowed or, by any thinking person, accepted as normal.
  9. Kentucky. Help me out here, seems like there are other asshole politicians from Kentucky.
  10. Sure. I went through the old system and it was a lot less forgiving. Yarling ran a tough course and we really did need to show ground skills as well as air skills. Afterwards, we all went home and tried to do our best, and mostly did. In our case we went home to start AFF programs so the training was great. Along the way to happily ever after we've never taken a new rating at face value and that's paid dividends. I think if everyone did that we could leave USPA out of it for now.
  11. For sure. So in that sense it's the DZO's responsibility to get new rating holders up to speed. USPA came up with a way to make more ticket holders, that's a good thing. That said, I personally think it's very unwise to believe a new rating holder should be training and jumping a Level 4 right out of the gate. They need to be under the care of a journeyman for a while. A number of two JM reserve sides on levels 1 and 2, and a few main sides, before any level 3's. Do well and get the nod for a level 4. If that's not happening then that's the weak link.
  12. You guy's are all too deep for me, I just want to know if he's ever fantasized having sex with a man.
  13. Could be, but after two decades in a very masculine role as an Army Ranger he took on the very untraditional role of house dad. It seems plausible to me that identity issues may be driving his current persona.
  14. Finally, a perfectly calibrated reply.
  15. Until you can suck electrons through a hose like gasoline he won't believe it.
  16. Crossed my mind, too. The lawyers only defense would be that they are innocent fuck-ups, no harm intended. I doubt the Bar would penalize them for being fuck-ups for simple reasons. But then that albatross is around their necks forever. The plaintiffs lawyer announced he would be sending the texts to the J6 Committee immediately unless the judged barred the action. She declined. Gotta wonder if there are bigger fish to fry in the texts.
  17. Did you mention your fee before or after you explained that in a free market pricing is determined less by fair value and more by what the market will bear?
  18. Nope. I'm guessing it took something this serious to get voters off Tik-Tok and into the voting booth. It will be interesting to see the demographics.
  19. Of course, many have already taken that page from Trumps playbook. I am very encouraged by the latest analysis of the the next election. Maybe, just maybe, the D's can pull off a 52 vote majority in the Senate. If so packing the Supreme Court is on offer, if we have the cojones. That alone could reverse the insanity of autocratic rule, based on misunderstood Christian values, that will be our unhappy future; an unhappy future that is so nonsensically prayed for by the right. I was asked lately by a clever person, with a different world view, how many seats I think we should add to the Court. I answered 10, minimum. My justification would be that we have too few cases under SC consideration at any given time owing to a shortage of Justice's, not to mention their absurd summer recess. My no bullshit opinion is that the R's would play hell adding another 10 or more, later on. So let's block them from forcing us to protect our King and let them be the rope a dope, dope, for awhile.
  20. I've offered, here too I think, to trade usable hunting guns for an AR-15 that I would turn in for destruction. No takers, so far, sacrilege I guess.
  21. My sources tell me it was Hunter Biden, hoping to distract attention from his several felonies, who whacked al-Zawahiri with an AR-15 in front of a classroom of kids while he was giving a lecture on climate change. Photo's reputedly show Hillary Clinton running away holding a to-go pizza box. As expected all of the real news is still being suppressed. It's that bad. Everyone should stock up now before the shelves are bare. God Bless.
  22. Once again another outrageous over simplification, and once again you are spot on.
  23. You have officially lost your novelty.
  24. But you aren't answering the question: "Would you have it that all businesses and individuals simply set their own tax rate?"
