Bump stock. Work around for the same effect. Ok. Next one. THIS is rhetorical. You get my point. They are rare because access is severely restricted.

Yeah, its an effective tool. For sure. All but a couple of those cases would arguably have ended the same with a legally owned handgun or shotgun. it really comes down to a basic tenement of safety. If you have a piece of equipment that overwhelmingly is used in a dangerous or unsafe way, you control access to that piece of equipment.

You were treading on fiction. it was rhetoric worthy. The idea that an arms race among decent people is a worthwhile outcome is, well..... not worthwhile. And just curious, when was the last time you saw a news item about a fully automatic weapon used in a crime? That's exactly where we need to get to with the assault rifle debate.

Your scenario has never played out. There has not been any good guy with an assault rifle saves world from bad guy with an assault rifle incidents.

They will have their access greatly diminished over time. None of this will change quickly. And none of this swill be perfect. We don't need perfect. We need better than what it is now.

Of ocurse it needs to be multuipronged, but it needs to start with denied access. There is no way around it. Access is the root cause. Access needs to be the primary change.

And look what has happened in the years since the ban sunsetted in 04. We likely would have, at worst, maintained the trend that was flat in 04. Instead we are 2x to 3x the mass shootings since the ban sunsetted.

And that’s basically it. You draw a line in the sand today. Tomorrow nothing changes. But after tomorrow, slowly but surely the number of assault weapons decrease, and so do the opportunities for ***** bags to get access. In a generation the number of these weapons are half as ownership sunsets naturally. In 2 generations its over. Had we continued the assault weapon ban that sunsetted in 2004 we’d be halfway there already.

Heh. I remember when the argument here for tanking was, would you rather try to build around Marner or Barzal? Man did that suck.

I’ve used Marketplace multiple times. Never let a stranger into your house. Do the deal outside. My experiences have all been reasonably good

If the GOP was ever serious about getting back the goodwill of the average voter…. can you imagine the bump in approval rating they’d get among soccer moms everywhere if they told the NRA now that it is time to end this silliness?

How many of these recent mass shootings have involved guns illegally obtained? I honestly can’t think of any. The only thing illegal about what the ***** that shot up Buffalo was he obtained some larger capacity magazines than NY allows. The problem with trying to maintain the status quo with responsible gun ownership is, we as a society have shown over and over that we just aren’t responsible enough with this sort of weaponry and body armor to have virtually unfettered access. The data is tight in front of our noses. And the idea of a good guy with a gun had been pretty much eliminated now that all of these ***** heads wear body armor.

Mass shootings are uniquely American. Mental illness is not uniquely American. Its not predominately a mental illness issue. Treating it like it is predominantly a mental illness issue is denying the real problem.

Broken sternum? Must have been a hell of a hit.

These are mutually exclusive

So the extra money was worth it.

Not baked. Smoked.

Whoa. Glad you’re safe. Im at a loss for words regarding your colleagues.

We gun enthusiasts will only have ourselves to blame when the tide turns and we aren’t welcomed at the table to discuss how to fix what is obviously broken. Ever since Kennedy was assassinated we’ve dug our heels in and refused to acknowledge that change is needed. It was selfish then. It is selfish now. We will reap what we’ve sown.

You guys are doing this wrong. Colorado used to employ Patrick Roy. ***** them. StL lengthened our misery with the ROR trade. ***** them Florida is in, well, Florida. No Florida team should ever hoist a cup. ***** them. Tampa- visions of Dahlin on the ice and bloodied. Oh, and the Florida thing. ***** them. Rangers. Chris Drury and his overvalued prospects. ***** him and them. Carolina. That cup was ours you pieces of *****. ***** you. Calgary. however you spell Tkachuk and Lucic. ***** them. Especially ***** Looch you ugly gorilla. Edmonton. ***** those McDavid stealing hosers.

So Russo is suspended for this game. Is he of any consequence for them, or is he AHL replacement level?

Take the blue pill.

I don’t see Buffalo on that list. ***** em all.

I have no idea how common or uncommon your experience was. I’ve had nothing but good experiences to date. And if you were suspicious at all you probably should have reached out to airbnb about it.

Yeah that isn’t normal. I didn’t have to give that info out to sign up with the airbnb app. I do everything through the app and let airbnb handle the actual transaction.
