    Nobody else is playing word games. Whether you blame the object or the presence of the object is a word game. You are placing blame on something that cannot manifest internt, nor act on that intent. People commit crimes. They are directly responsbile for their actions. Blaming an object is not logical. I never used the word blame. Clearly the people are to blame, but the gun was the bait. so if a newspaper published your address in a list of people who owned expensive jewelry (pretending you do) and the burglars waited until you left, broke in, attempted to steal your fine jewelry, but failed, would then the presence of jewelry have "caused a crime to be committed"? -- Rob

    Yeah, they gotta figure out a way to get him, too. Maybe demonstrate he was part of the conspiracy. In fact, he might actually be the puppet master. Mastermind Biden... yeah... right! -- Rob

    and yet the first headline posted by msn was "Trigger-happy Atlanta mom shoots intruder in the face 5 times." (they have since edited it due to reader complaints) screenshot of original story http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy342/palegoose/triggerhappy_zpsee0ba93a.jpg -- Rob

    I've seen public statements from a few TX Sheriffs saying they wouldn't enforce a confiscation order. -- Rob

    Right, which is exactly why we need to limit their ability to do so. Currently they have all too easy access to the tools to do that. Let's make it just a bit more difficult than buying a 32 ounce soda. so make another law making something illegal. Has worked so well for so many things. here, and for those who say guns won't be manufactured in people's garages: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/179192-DIY-Shovel-AK-photo-tsunami-warning! -- Rob

    While there is implied consent that comes with the purchase of the ticket, I would like it very much if the recently introduced TX HB 80 was passed (http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/Text.aspx?LegSess=83R&Bill=HB80) which basically requires that the TSA establish probable cause before a physical search. It would result in a change in TSA tactics. Changing tactics are good for security. It would likely result in a slight rise in the cost of air travel (perhaps only in TX) which I'm ok with. -- Rob

    he just called us total nitwits. But since it's essentially a "political group" it's an allowed attack vector. -- Rob

    yeah... I almost called it a debate, then edited to conversation, then decided "segment" was the best term for it. -- Rob

    I know a couple of folks who went to high school with Alex here in the Austin area. Apparently he was always batshit crazy. It was an "entertaining" segment. Both the predictability of the script CNN handed piers to set Alex off and the reaction from Alex. It was so good I had to go look up the second half. -- Rob

    true, vegetarians can randomly flip on you without warning most vegans and vegetarians I know are more aware of the amount of protein they eat than most of my omnivore friends. -- Rob

    salvage yard would have been better than shredded. I visit the local salvage place a couple of times a year looking for parts. Reusing parts of wrecked trucks, or shredding wrecked trucks. Which is better? -- Rob

    I'm going to have to redirect this thread drift... Please stay on target. -- Rob

    I picked the wrong thread to read while drinking coffee. -- Rob

    So do you think this is China training up a pool of pilots to pick from for military service? -- Rob
  17. rhaig
    I think that little tidbit is unknown or forgotten by many. Safety is a personal responsibility, investigation is what the police do. -- Rob

    The ONLY way he is costing more than prior presidents is going to different places that require additional security trips and personnel. Not defending Bush, but as an example, his repeated trips to the family ranch cost less because of the already established security there. The flight was the same cost, but already being at a secure place lessened the cost of the time there. -- Rob

    THIS don't lose sight of the big picture. The little trickles of cash like this don't amount to much in the grand scheme. Is it abuse? Maybe. But it shouldn't be near the top of the list of complaints at this time. -- Rob

    don't know, and wasn't my point. I would be bad leadership to demand such a thing and then leave. I've worked for managers who have done that, and I've worked for the kind that stick around (even if they can't help). I know which kind I felt was a better leader. -- Rob
  22. rhaig
    you assume what I would like to do. I agree that this was the problem of congress. My point was, it's poor leadership to demand that the underlings stay onsite to do something then vacate the premises. But that's the kind of leadership we've come to expect out of the office of the president over the past 20+ years. It's sad. -- Rob

    Would have signed an Executive Order to hold Congress in a room until they came up with a solution. The President, can go anywhere he damn well pleases for Christmas because all HE does is sign the final document. true, but if he'd forced them to stay and work while he went on vacation, what kind of leadership is that? The kind we've come to expect from a president, and that's wrong. -- Rob

    ah yes, but that 2.5M number can't possibly be true because then the guns would be preventing more death than they cause (by a factor of about 2.5). And we can't have that... That would shoot holes in a certain person's claims. (I might add, that since deciding that comments by that person or replies to his comments aren't worth my time to read or respond to, I've gotten a lot more reading done... He's quite prolific with his BS here.) -- Rob

    I suspect we will see what we're intended to see. The real truth will never be known because we weren't there. We'll see what the investigators think happened and the released images will support the paper filing of the incident. All of that will happen well after the "never let a crisis go to waste" administration has used this event to their advantage in one way or another. I also can tell you that the "long gun" recovered from the trunk of the car was most certainly not an "AR-15 style" rifle as reported. Based on video published of the trunk search, It looks to be an AK frame, and the shell ejected by the officer appears to be a shotgun shell. Most likely making it a saiga 12ga. But based on the reporter's firearms identification guide, they correctly reported it as an AR-15. -- Rob
