    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Now you've finally said something that I can agree with. I think training and certification to become a parent is a damn good idea. It'll never happen but I like it.

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    It all boils down to the risk reward ratio. How many more innocent kids are killed with an AR-15 versus how many kids are saved by using one for self defense. That would be an interesting stat that I'd like to see. And would your wife and girls find an AR-15, with it's length, easier to...

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Do you think that it would be ok to own a bazooka? Yeah, a bazooka is a bit over the top for self defense but then, so is an AR-15 with high-cap mags, imho. Aren't there better options for self-defense than what we're talking about here. Ok, let's not ban the AR-15's. How 'bout just...

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Yes, Chicago has strict gun laws but it's also known that most all of the guns come into Chicago from areas that don't have strict gun control. One has to ask that if strict gun laws existed in those areas where Chicago is getting their guns from, would it have an affect on gun crime? It...

    Do you like coffee?

    I use both. When I want a smoother brew, I use paper. When I want a bit more of bite, I use metal. The metal filter gets you a bit closer to a French Press brew.

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    And that quote was from someone who labeled my post as "liberal dribble". Talk about calling the kettle black. :rolleyes: ps: I'm sorry Stu. I just couldn't resist.

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    I never heard Joe Biden's speech. I just based what I said on what I know but out of curiosity I just did a bit of goggling on "best weapon for home defense" and just about every site, not all but most that came up, the shotgun was rated number one. And as far as the racking sound, if I was...

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Huh? What I said was, in regards to why anyone would need an AR-15, "Surely it's not self-defense in the home because in that situation, nothing beats a shotgun. Just the sound of racking it would scare the beejezus out of most people." Plus, you don't have to aim a shotgun at close range...

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    What is the rationale for owning a semi-auto with high-cap mags that fires at the velocity that an AR can fire at? Surely it's not self-defense in the home because in that situation, nothing beats a shotgun. Just the sound of racking it would scare the beejezus out of most people. The AR...

    2018 Winter Olympics(Comments, No Politics Please)

    So true. We can't hold a candle to those Russian figure skaters though but that ladies hockey game with Canada was sweet revenge. The USA team was not gonna let this one go. And of course, it was an ending that could only happen in the movies. At the end of the game, when that goalie...

    2018 Winter Olympics(Comments, No Politics Please)

    Six quads is crazy but he just fucked up too much in his earlier routines. Nerves no doubt. I can't imagine how one controls that in a competition like the Olympics. You work your whole life for something, most of the times from age 6 or younger and it then comes down to just one skate, or...

    2018 Winter Olympics(Comments, No Politics Please)

    No kidding. Did you see the extended clip when Shaun was all in tears hugging his Mom and sister after he won the gold and then when he saw his Dad? He was not holding those sobs back at all. Got me a bit misty. And when Mikaela Shiffrin just dropped to her knees, crying after she won...

    2018 Winter Olympics(Comments, No Politics Please)

    Oh, I do. For me, it's all about witnessing athletes triumph over tragedy like Shaun White or watching Chole, a 17 year old kid fulfilling her dream since she was 4 years old or watching Mirai triumph over not being picked for the team 4 years ago or watching Savchenko and Massot going from...

    2018 Winter Olympics(Comments, No Politics Please)

    Just got a give a shout out to a few of my SoCal locals, Chloe Kim (Gold), Shaun White (Gold) and especially my next door neighbor, Mirai Nagasu for landing the first triple axel done by any woman in the Olympics.

    Space........The Final Frontier.

    Just watched the Space-X launch of what was billed as the worlds most powerful rocket. CNN aired it from 30 seconds before launch until it reached orbit along with all of the audio from the Space-X development and launch teams cheering it on. I never thought that watching something like this...

    Southern California dispensaries

    Shouldn't the diff between medical and recreational be about 8%?

    Southern California dispensaries

    I wonder why a dispensary would choose to do both medical and recreational.? If they can do both, why not just do recreational? What would be the advantage of doing medical as well?

    Southern California dispensaries

    CornerStone Research (CRC) just went recreational. They also do medical. Hmm.........I haven't been in there lately. I wonder if they'll have the same product for both med and rec but with two different pricing structures?:hmm:
