No. That's NEVER the way it works. The burden of proof is on the person making the extraordinary claim, not the person doubting him. The extraordinary claim is that it can be done. It's the extraordinary claim, because it's the thing that's contrary to the way nature works and beyond a normal understanding of basic physics. Haven't you seen the avengers? It was a dude with a hammer. Never try to eat more than you can lift

Ranting at Piers Morgan does not preclude one from being a moron. I think just about everyone thinks Piers Morgan is a dick. Never try to eat more than you can lift

I don't actually see this as a "Terror Attack" either. I'm not exactly not sure why, I think its just a pair of f'n idiots looking for an excuse. I suppose in my mind "terror attack" implies a degree of preparedness, planning, an objective, and at least a semi coherent agenda. This doesn't seem to have any of those things. Just musings.

He forgot to mention Bosnia and Kosovo where the British Military saved countless Muslim lives though. Wow. Watching that video, the phrase that sprung to mind was "the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead" Never try to eat more than you can lift

I wonder if he's going to start reducing the number of boxes. That would be some progression.... "And now, Gary plans to land on one small cereal box placed in the middle of the landing area" Never try to eat more than you can lift

Surely it would be a register of all checks, not all sales? And therefore of no use as a registration tool? Never try to eat more than you can lift

And this is where the analogy is getting strained. Someone is not going to lose their right to drink in between drinks, whereas someone could easily lose their right to buy a gun. You might not get your id checked when someone hands you a beer at the dz, but if you are underage, then that jumper has done something illegal. Of course not. If they were not legally allowed you could get in trouble however. Never try to eat more than you can lift

Well, DUI is down significantly. And yet one can still purchase alcohol without a background check. Nope. If you don't qualify for alcohol (i.e. are underage, or look it) then you can't. And that's good enough. They don't need to register or record every case of booze. They don't require background checks on person to person transactions. So if you're good with alcohol law as is, why not be good with gun laws "as is"? Because they could be better (As could most laws for that matter.). Background checks for person to person would be the one thing that is a logical improvement. I don't particularly agree with or advocate for assault weapons bans, hicap mags, registries, or anything like that, however the resistance to closing this one massive glaring loophole is moronic. Sure, people will still break the law, but lets make it a little more difficult for them. However I think it is a criminal offence to supply a minor with alcohol? Genuine question - if you sell someone a gun person to person and they turn out to be a criminal, are you criminally liable? (granted - the analogy is getting a little strained but it raises a good point) Never try to eat more than you can lift

Which is exactly the situation now. Some (military) weapons are highly regulated. Thats not in question. The only question here is whether this particular situation falls on the right side of that line or not. Never try to eat more than you can lift

Sorry, but this is complete crap for one very simple reason. In the UK, people also have the ability to pay for health care if they want to, and get the very top end stuff with no waiting lists etc. The NHS works very well the vast majority of the time. Sure, there are always going to be cases where things don't go right and people get upset for whatever reason, in ANY system. However, the most vocal people about how bad the UK health system is tend to be Americans with a political agenda. Never try to eat more than you can lift
