  1. I got it from a Facebook post, I did not know it came from Guns and Ammo, that said, what difference does it make? G&A just parroted the Obama's CDC's report on gun violence. So you got it from Facebook, never checked where it came from, never checked validity and then post it here as fact. No wonder you know better than scientists.
  2. Bear in mind that the Vancouver housing market is absolutely insane at the moment. The cost of a "benchmark" (= "average") detached house in the entire greater Vancouver area is now over $1.4 million dollars, and has been increasing by about 10%/year. If someone bought a house to live in, and a couple as rentals/investments, 15-20 years ago, they could easily have over $5 million in assets, and also owe property taxes on that $5 million. In most places, owning 3 houses would not make you a "multi-millionaire". Considering that the median income in Vancouver is only about $77,000, I wonder how sustainable the real estate bubble will be. Don All true, though then he wouldn't have lost the money in the market due to Brexit.
  3. So magazine size limit does have an effect. Why did you state earlier it didn't? Interesting to see a conversation kept within tight limits, ensuring that nothing would have ay effect. Then subsequently resigning to the fact that nothing could possibly be done.
  4. That magazine capacity does make a difference, just not at higher capacities. If you limit magazine capacity at 1 or 2 it would limit the effectiveness of the weapon.
  5. I'm sorry but if you lost THAT much value you either need someone to better manage your money or you are in the 1% (or very close). Houses at 200k x 2.5 ("almost three decent houses") =$500,000 loose. I don't believe the market overall is down 10%. So if you have a NW of $5,000,000....... Maybe some diversification is in order? Now might be a good time to buy..... Your numbers are correct. Classifying the $5,000,000 as net worth is wrong. It would be $5,000,000 of assets. Only one side of the Net Worth picture.
  6. If the capacity is 1 then you are talking about making all magazine fed guns illegal. That's not on the table. It doesn't make them illegal.
  7. And who typed up these "key findings". kallend will call you dishonest for not showing us where you got this. I think this is a better source for "key findings" You can pick them out yourself minus the spin you posted. http://benghazi.house.gov/NewInfo So are you going to point out which new findings make this bad for Obama and Clinton?
  8. yes "But the researchers say the fertilisation effect diminishes over time. They warn the positives of CO2 are likely to be outweighed by the negatives. The lead author, Prof Ranga Myneni from Boston University, told BBC News the extra tree growth would not compensate for global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, ocean acidification, the loss of Arctic sea ice, and the prediction of more severe tropical storms."
  9. Nit really. Derek likes to guide people into a gotcha moment. His end argument is always the same, it is a constitutionally protected right and therefor should not be touched. There really is no arguing, or discussing anything beyond that. When any suggestions are made, he wants to know which specific incident would have been prevented. The discussion he wants to have is intellectually dishonest, but he hides it well. You don't. The question becomes, why maintain a society in which this happens so often?
  10. Agreed. Problem is that Rush's version of English is spoken/understood by very few, if any at all, making communication difficult.
  11. That explains your position very well. You do not even know what an MSA is do you? Only an elitist would know what that is.
  12. You are asking the wrong guy. I think your 2nd amendment is idiotic.
  13. They know what they want now, therefor they know what the consequences are? That is your evidence of being so sure that people no the consequences? Do you have a learning disability?
  14. That explains your position very well.
  15. No, plus with the increasing numbers of dashboard cameras it may become very clear you purposely caused the accident which would likely invalidate your insurance coverage.
  16. You are so clueless it is painful. No one knows what the consequences are. I KNOW that my portfolio has shed so much value since Thursday evening through to this morning, it equates to almost three decent homes within 30 minutes of Skydive AZ. And I am NOT part of the damned 1%. Lovely. Same here, but I am still a pretty active contributor so I see it more as if everything is on sale.
  17. I don't care for Best Buy. It is in the city. I don't like to go into the city. I like Tiger Direct. Why are you supporting a Californian company? Are you some kind of communist?
  18. And how would these impact the number of firearm fatalities each year? In other words, how many mass shootings would have been prevented in the last year if these 5 new restrictions were already in place? How many murders would have been prevented? Derek V 3
  19. Remember also that is does not matter if the nominee was Trump, Cruz or the Easter Bunny. They would be similar posts as there have been for the last 3 election cycles. Yes that's right. In the last 3 election cycles we frequently saw people from within the GOP attack their own presumptive nominee. Nothing new going on here.
  20. You are so clueless it is painful. No one knows what the consequences are.
  21. So here we are again where cops can kill with imputiny and they can be sure their asses are covered. Oh why oh why, does the population not trust establishment anymore? So the trial results means nothing to you. Again This was a political stunt and had nothing to do with anything criminal or negligent. You must think OJ was really innocent too. Has nothing to do with what I think. But is it all emotions for you. This and you think you know better than a judge or jury. I think the jury got it right. I think the driver isn't innocent. I think your justice system is entirely fucked.
