I have said it a few times in various threads. The actual firearm used rarely makes a difference except where a rifle has extended range capability. The two incidents that I can think of off the top of my head are the Mandalay Bay shooting in Las Vegas and they five police officers killed in Dallas. The annual FBI statistics show that in an average year, rifles of any type and any situation are responsible for by 350 deaths out of 15,000 murders. Hands, feet and weapons held by the hands such as knives or clubs, are responsible for about 3000 deaths. Assuming that you could magically remove all rifle homicides from the equation, instead of 15,000 deaths you would have 14,650. That means that of those 350 rifle homicides, the shooter could not think of or have another means to kill you such as a shotgun, a hand gun or a knife. To put it in simple terms, if you could stopped all homicides that were committed with a rifle, you would be talking about a 2% reduction. They’re wanting to call legislative sessions, making a certain weapon illegal, etc., for something that I have a 2% chance of improvement. Then you would have to rely on the fact that the person angry enough to commit murder would not be able to do so by other means. Anyone that thinks this is anything other than political and control, has not been paying attention.

It will be a big advantage on sprint outs, bubbles and play action.

That is nonsense. They were not in control with an unbeatable majority in both houses. The Senate takes 60 votes to break cloture and bring it to a vote. While 51 votes can pass a law, it takes those 60 to break the filibuster to get to the final vote. If that was not true, why are we debating gun control? Why don’t the Democrats with control of both houses and the presidency simply pass a law? A simple answer is easy, they can’t.

I agree, futbol de Americana is not very popular there

Yes, that is why I specifically stick with murders. Gun control arguments always talk about suicides but usually forget to mention it. ABOUT 25,000 PEOPLE A YEAR ARE KILLED BY GUNS!!!!! … and 9,000 of them are murders. And I am not negating the tragic nature of the 9000 or all of the suicides but with the gun control argument from the anti-gun people, it’s almost certainly disingenuous.

Rollout to the right. Rollout to the left. Which way did he go George? Obviously the kid has talent. But I don't see it as a tremendous advantage. I know some people can write with both hands. But that don't make them Steven king.

Great size, already starting on varsity as a freshman and has a lot of D1 interest. Definitely one to look out for in the oncoming years.

Dolceni better have her A game, OU will be a tough but if anybody has confidence to beat them its the team that's already done it

I can guarantee that the NASCAR crowd will completely disappear if they stay this course.

Never a NASCAR fan. Based on them bending over to the alphabet crowd, never will be. So sick of organizations kowtowing to this bunch of genderless perverts. 🤮🤮

Why send them their for football for the season to get cancelled half way through the season.

If I was Uvalde or Uvalde ISD police chief, I am not sure I would cooperate either. I honestly don’t remember a police incident where so many commanders or politicians were falling all over themselves pointing fingers. They have their scapegoat(s), now the walls are moving in to attack. I am really disgusted in the way this has been handled after the fact. There might’ve been bad mistakes made but they are not looking at it to improve or to see what happened. They are looking at it to clear themselves and to look leader like by pointing fingers.

going 0-30 at one point whether you are lead man or an assistant for sure doesn’t help people's outlook.

Agree with all except for the "well intended" part...the democrats intentions have never been driven by anything other than votes and power, no matter who gets hurt.

I've been wavering on this series...head is telling me Warriors but my gut is telling me Celtics. Should be a great series either way!

Celtics in 6. Tatum finals mvp

fella, apparently can sell ice water to Eskimos.

Those damn std(s) as well.

Better than a teacher without a .380

These are after the fact AND it has nothing to do with stopping the crime. It also isn’t a compromise from gun owners you keep whining about. If someone buys a gun legally from a dealer, why is it their fault? You can tell if someone is drunk, not intent with a gun. Makes as much sense as charging a car dealer if someone kills someone in an accident.

To add to that thought, any time someone says “you should be responsible if your kid does this… lock up your guns” half a dozen idiots chime in “my children know how to use firearms and wound NEVER do such a thing!” Guess what, Stupid? That’s the exact same thing that every parent of a mass killer said right up until the point at which Lil’ Johnny stormed the library with his parents’ rifle. I’ve got a friend who has a kid with Down’s syndrome. She still believes that this kid (gonna be a sophomore) will be able to drive one day. She won’t…. But her mama can’t admit it. Just like this mom in Uvalde can’t understand that her sweet boy did all of this.

Saw one - Joe Biden smiling in a suit, “They call me 007: 0 major accomplishments, 0 brain cells left, and 7% Inflation.
