Do you have a news link to the incident? I would like to know the details because I gotta tell you if anybody shot my dog I would be pissed too Edit---so I googled it and found several articles. I'm not a hunter so I don't know. But would you mistake this for a coyote? http://nypost.com/2017/09/25/beloved-family-dog-shot-dead-by-hunter-with-crossbow/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2017/09/23/a-crossbow-hunter-thought-he-shot-a-coyote-it-was-a-family-dog-named-tonka/?utm_term=.9999520d2458

It's as simple as this. I have no idea why is so hard for the smart guys around here to get it.

+1 Reading the NRA statement? Hells Bells, I quoted it. So, yeah, I read it and understood it just fine.

Right. A wish and a prayer. Neither of each will get anywhere. Carry on, then.

Well, then, what's this all about?

We won't but as long as they ask pretty please with sugar on top and that's ok. Oh and if anybody thinks the wolves will be satiated just with the bump stock, then you haven't been paying attention. That's what makes this capitulation so asinine. But that's just the cynical me talking.

I see. I'm assuming you're referring to this from the NRA statement: "To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence." Do you know what that reminds me of? But I may be too stupid, to undereducated--some even say an irredeemable deplorable--to grasp the multilevel of Vulcan game of chess the NRA is playing. We''ll see.

So what did the other side offer to "reciprocate"?

WP22 looks around and sees this isn't in the 1A forum and keeps walking.

I hate those with a passion. Go get them.

OP, are you afraid of taking the caps out and take a look?

I've faithfully voted from the day I've had the right to. No election was too large or too small, any primary to general, school board and budgets, every single time. Nothing ever changed. At some time you stop being the victim to be an accomplice. I'm tired of these gentlemen to hail my vote as an approval for their actions. We are just going to agree to disagree on this. But please just know that I take this if you don't vote blah, blah, blah, as worthless naive musings. I'm just too old, too jaded, too cynical to, frankly, give a crap of what anybody thinks of me or my actions.

Don't blame me or many others like me that will "forget" to show up to vote in 2018, 2020...The upside is that we won't be voting for a non factor candidate or, haven's forgive, a democrat, either. I couldn't even begin to tell you how much I'm fed up with those sacs of summer breeze. And it's not just about guns.

My wife has a Pavlovian reaction every time I mention going to the range. More often than not, she brings it up. She won't go alone and whish she would. But I can't complain. We both grew up in societies without guns and here we are.

Indeed.

Howard--I'm sorry to single you out--read up several SCOTUS decisions regarding schools and children under their care. You would be surprised to find out that the school even has the authority to punish students for behavior outside the school and school hours. Now, I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just tell you how it is.

Sorry. I did

I guess you would never live near a cemetery, then.

From the article: "Anyone who arrives with their own firearm will undergo an extensive safety inspection to ensure their weapons are clean and no explosive rounds are entering the facility, said Crowley. He said anyone carrying hollow point bullets will be asked to leave and police will be contacted for repeat offenders." WTF????? "More than noise, some residents fear the worst, as gun-related suicides have occurred inside several New Jersey ranges." What in gods name does a suicide inside the range affects your enjoyment of watching Oprah in you living room?

Students never enjoyed the constitutional rights to the same extend that adults do.

Yeah, I usually have bunch sitting in the garage for heating.

I would buy HE beer if he tazed Zeke. I would buy him scotch if he made it hurt really bad.

John took a tree down for me and did a really good job.

Yeah, I decided to ignore the comment, because not the Brian fooking Aiken thing again. Just like the McDonalds hot coffee lady, it never fails to appear.

I would walk to the range without a second thought.
