  1. Hi folks, This is one very valid reason for not carrying a gun: McAnulty took steps to conceal his alleged crimes, including selling his BMW, crafting an alibi, changing his appearance and trying to hide a 9mm Glock semi-automatic handgun Portland man held without bail in fatal road-rage shooting of Tigard father on Oregon 18 - oregonlive.com IMO this is not a mental illness issue, it is an issue of someone who should not have a gun. The real problem is in finding out before he does something like this. I do not have the answer to that; other than banning self-carry. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Folks, I don't know if he is/was lazy or just stupid: ‘young girls make stuff up like this all the time,’ Umatilla police officer no longer works for city after negligence lawsuit - OPB Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi folks, For those of you who might be interested: a Portland-area swimming area the best skinny dipping spot in the United States The best place to skinny dip in the country is apparently right outside of Portland - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi folks, Well, he could follow in the footsteps of Abe Fortas: Fortas later resigned from the Court after a controversy involving his acceptance of $20,000 from financier Louis Wolfson while Wolfson was being investigated for insider trading. Abe Fortas - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi John, Oh, just put the mouse in your left hand; you'll be fine. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Bill, Hopefully, the electorate(s) in each district will do the right thing: Should all three members be expelled, special elections will be held in the three districts encompassing Nashville, Knoxville and Memphis. Nothing would hold those members back from running again in those races. Tennessee House fails to expel second Dem over gun protest - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi Bill, Looks like their popularity is only with themselves: cheering and chanting outside the House chamber so loudly that the noise drowned out the proceedings GOP lawmakers to vote on expelling Democrats in gun protest | AP News Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi lippy, Now, this is getting sort of out of hand with you always referring to the facts. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Bill, IMO, the hypocrisy in the entertainment world & the political world is only surpassed by the hypocrisy in the religious world. Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi Bill, If this tide gets any bigger, we might just call it a tsunami. Jerry Baumchen PS) My daughter, yesterday test drove 3 EV's. Both she & her husband really liked the Volvo. 2023 XC40 Recharge All Electric SUV | Volvo Car USA (volvocars.com) Plus, Volvo is coming out with an upgrade, in a few weeks, that has a range of over 300 miles.
  11. Hi Mark, Yes. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi Rob, Or, the owner could just remove it and no one would know. Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Mark, According to my local tv news last nite, they were out in force yesterday. They just need to keep it up & not lose direction. * Jerry Baumchen * It's called voting the gun-nutz out of office.
  14. Hi folks, And, more winn . . . Oh, forget it: A . . . court . . . rejected an emergency bid by former President Donald Trump to block several top aides from testifying Appeals court rejects Trump's bid to block aides from testifying in Jan. 6 probe - POLITICO It never seems to stop. He puts forth a petition to the court(s) and they knock them down. Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Rob, I know almost nothing about Canadian law; but, in this country one is innocent until proven 'guilty.' I would suggest a better choice of words. Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: The awkward point about not marking the non-airworthy component If you were presented with a certificated component that you felt was not airworthy, would you mark it in any manner?
  16. Hi folks, A recent Letter to the Editor here in Oregon: Readers respond: Modern gun laws for modern times - oregonlive.com I could not agree more. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Bill, I think it is called: Dumb and dumber. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi phantom, From your link: but falls short of what some gun-rights activists sought. One has to wonder just when will they be happy. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi Keith, And, let me add that the non-affiliated here in Oregon are the largest voting bloc in the state. If they can be called a 'voting bloc.' Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi John, IMO the dumbest justice in the history of this nation. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi kleggo, BTDT Nothing magical about it - it is simply stupid. Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Keith, Well, as one, I do know that the vast majority in Oregon tend to the liberal side of any issue. Most of the non-affiliated here in Oregon were former Democrats. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi Wendy, Read this: Opinion: Oregon needs to discuss ‘Death with Dignity’ – and dementia - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi Ken, Re: That is why I say the problem will need to become large enough for that to become the minority opinion. I am of the belief that if a substantial amendment to the 2nd were put to a popular vote, it would pass. I believe that the majority of the American people want things changed. The problem is the US House; those Reps know that they keep their seats because, somewhat, of their support of gun rights. IMO the GOP does not give a shit about the American people, they only want the power and to get re-elected. * Re: My guess is at least another 40 years of slowly growing anger before enough becomes enough. I absolutely agree. It will not happen in my lifetime. I only can hope no grandchild of mine is killed while I am still alive. Jerry Baumchen * I am with wolfriverjoe, I will not vote for a GOP candidate at any level.
