  1. Can you elaborate more on this situation you are talking about?
  2. No big deal, your past posts indicate that you have no respect anyway. ----------------------------------------------------- Wake me up when you've actually said anything significant.
  3. Youre right I should have used some other words other than 'overrule the 2nd amendment'...however if they ban assault rifles, and someone goes into another theater with a shotgun...oh well lets ban those too...whats next flintlocks?
  4. Why didnt you tell me before you could read my mind. Besides I have a LITTLE respect for him...not much. But since you know everything...
  5. My father is in law enforcement and has been for 30+ years between HPD and BCSO. He currently reloads ammo for BCSO and if the jackass currently in the white house tries this shit I might just have to give my rifles to him...although thats no guarantee either.
  6. I saw the video when it first came out...the zorb rolled down a long decline that went up and instead of coming back down the same direction it went to the left (as in the left of the way the camera was facing) It rolled back and you could see only one person to the side trying to prevent it from going down to a large drop off. IMO they should have had SEVERAL people in case one person fell and was unable to stop the rolling ball.
  7. First of all this was the producer of this show...not the 'professional russian' seen by many on youtube. And by that I would say there are precious few that actually have heard of this person in contrast to the guy that is actually in FRONT of the camera.
  8. I wonder if BHO does decide to use his executive powers and overrule the 2nd amendment...how many police and troops will follow his orders since they were sworn in to protect the constitution...not the president.
  9. Anyone else find it ironic that in that picture next to Biden is Eric Holder? The man directly responsible for 'fast and furious?"
  10. So BEFORE this article appeared you KNEW OF THIS man? I'm calling bullshit.
  11. IMO This is pretty much the worst case scenerio. If BHO overrides the house and congress to get what he wants...he just might find out that the country could be in worse shape than ever. If he does this he will lose every shred of respect I have for him.
  12. (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is exploring executive orders to help stop mass shootings in America, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday. "The president is going to act. Executive orders, executive action, can be taken," Biden told reporters before meetings with groups representing survivors of mass shootings. "We haven't decided what this is yet, but we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and all the rest of the Cabinet members." Legislative action also is needed, Biden said. "I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans, and take thousands of people out of harm's way, if we act responsibly," he said. Biden: Gun effort a 'moral issue' President Obama vowed last month that a new task force overseen by Biden will provide "concrete proposals" by the end of January to reduce gun violence. The group, which includes an array of Cabinet members and government officials, was established in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut that left 27 people dead -- 20 of them elementary school children. In addition to gun laws, the group is looking at mental health care and what the president has described as a culture that often "glorifies guns and violence." Among those addressing the group to push for tougher gun laws is Colin Goddard of the Brady Campaign. He was shot four times in the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, in which a gunman killed 32 people and himself. "My job is to represent the voice of the overwhelming majority of Americans ... that want some comprehensive, common sense changes to our gun policy," he told CNN Wednesday. "There are common ground solutions that respect the Second Amendment." Many gun sales take place without background checks, and "that's bad policy," he argues. Conducting such checks "doesn't stop a law-abiding citizen from getting a gun. But somebody with a history of illness, felony record, they need to get checked." On Thursday, Biden's group will hear from the other side: gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association. The NRA has argued that it is committed to keeping people protected, but that a focus on stricter gun control is misguided. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre has called for all U.S. schools to have armed guards NRA President David Keene later told CNN the group supports schools choosing whether they want armed guards. A rising chorus of voices is standing up against the NRA and the gun lobby's sway over U.S. politics. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot in the head in a mass shooting two years ago, and her husband Mark Kelly, a former Navy captain and astronaut, launched a new political action committee Tuesday to end what they called lawmakers' "fear" of the gun lobby. After initially saying it would not attend a meeting with the White House on Thursday, Wal-Mart , the nation's largest retailer, said Wednesday it now will. The company has had "ongoing conversations with the administration, Congress, (New York) Mayor (Michael) Bloomberg's office, sportsmen groups, suppliers and others to listen and share our thoughts and experiences," company spokesman David Tovar said in a statement to CNN. "Knowing our senior leaders could not be in Washington this week, we spoke in advance with the vice president's office to share our perspective," he said. "We underestimated the expectation to attend the meeting on Thursday in person, so we are sending an appropriate representative to participate." Wal-Mart sells guns and ammunition. Previously, the company had insisted that its "experts" on gun control needed to be in Bentonville, Arkansas, where the company is headquartered, for important meetings, and insisted the move should not be interpreted as a "slight" or "diss" to the White House. Across the country, people are sharing their views on what Washington should decide. Among them are Californians who have packed into town hall meetings. Some have spoken out in support of renewing a ban on assault weapons -- high-capacity weapons that have been used in numerous mass shootings. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, is pushing to reinstate a ban that expired in 2004. But others at the town halls argue that banning those guns isn't the answer, and could even be a slippery slope toward banning all guns. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, meanwhile, plans to push for major new gun laws Wednesday, including one of the country's most restrictive bans on assault weapons, the New York Times reported. Bloomberg, a longtime advocate of stricter gun control, is pushing for tough steps nationwide. Burlington, Vermont, a city of less than 43,000 people, has already made a move of its own: passing a resolution that could lead to a ban on assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. The city council voted 10-3 in favor of the resolution, which will now be presented in public hearings and voted on by the public before going to the state legislature. Amid the cacophony of voices battling over the issue, two young former Marines have found themselves in a spotlight online, representing very different views. First, Joshua Boston posted on CNN iReport an open letter to Feinstein explaining why he would not abide by an assault weapons ban. "I do not believe it is the government's right to know what I own," he wrote in the post, which went viral. "Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime." On Tuesday, Nick DiOrio responded with his own iReport. Marines don't believe in following the law "only when it suits us," DiOrio wrote, calling Boston's letter "embarrassing because he makes Marines seem insensitive and uncaring." DiOrio said he supports an assault weapons ban.
  13. Must not be in my car. I drive like a bat out of hell all day every day. No increases for me as of yet.
  14. Perhaps because the person who wrote this story has liberal political views. Maybe they only like attacking tea party members and others associated with the GOP.
  15. Can you explain to me what LEO is please?
  16. Tucker Carlson: Do you know what a Barrel Shroud is? Democratic House representative Carolyn McCarthy: No I dont know what a barrel shroud is Well...its in YOUR legislation! Feel the BURRNNN
  17. My mother had the same insurance company for her medical insurance for well over 25 years. Paying in the range of tens of thousands of dollars a year (my parents were self-employed) and never making a claim. 5 Years ago my mom was helping my sister move and she stepped off of my dads flatbed trailer and scraped her ankle very badly and had to be rushed to the hospital to have over 50 stitches in her lower leg. As soon as the claim was paid out they dropped her policy like a hot potato. At least they didnt deny her claim, but in my opinion of someone that probably paid those asshats close to $100,000.00+ them cancelling her policy is totally chickenshit...and apperantly it happens all the time.
  18. I agree with you in regards to search algorythms. However with all the surnames and aliases there are bound to have some that slip through the cracks. I would hope the goal for the database you propose would be 100% accountability.
  19. An example of this would be: I lived in Dallas for 15 years or so. I worked for a telecom company as a network engineer and I could work from home 2 days a week. Now all the managers has ISDN lines in their places. The company paid for them to have ISDN hooked up in their houses...but the other engineers...well we had the best connection at the time...56K modems. Literally the database was so large that just by clicking on the state of texas would cause a delay in the range of 2-4 minutes. Any additional key presses would have similar delays. Now obviously our current technology we have much faster internet connection speeds...( just got Uverse this past weekend 24Mbps!!!) but this database was ONLY for the US locations. Having a database with BILLIONS and billions of people could cause delays and the end stations and could cause the lines at border checkpoints to be considerable larger than what we have now. I'm not saying it cant be done...but I am saying that I have experience polling large databases...and one this large would require some serious re-tooling to make it reasonable for those wanting entrance.
  20. It might be 50 bucks a terabyte or so, but what about having a tool that will decompile all of that database in a small handheld tool that can disseminate all of that information in a reasonable amount of time. The database you propose would be so immense getting accurate data polled in a standard amount of time(with a tool border agents can use that is portable) seems to be rather insurmountable.
  21. Ok go get all the karankawa indians you can find and get back with me. http://www.texasindians.com/karank.htm
  22. How much of canada's oil comes from this area?
