I didn't prove your point, I disproved your point. You said the more guns the more likely there is of an accident and that is purely false... You even reiterated it in this post. And no, sorry, the price of imperfection of guns is not a definitive death. Just like with automobiles, trains, knives, and any other items, guns, when misused, can injure or kill. I can hit you with a car and not kill you, just like I could shoot you with a gun and not kill you. There is no "policy" of guns everywhere. And as I've already made clear, the number of guns makes no difference in the number

Complete and total bullcrap, Pubby. The number of guns in homes has absolutely NO impact on the number of injuries or deaths of children by firearms. It wouldn't matter if a household had one firearm or fifty firearms, the chances of a child messing with them do not change. What changes the odds of a child being hurt by a firearm is nothing more than parent responsibility. There is absolutely NO other factor. If the parent is negligent, the risk increases. Negligence on the parents part can include lack of education and supervision and the lack of keeping the firearms where childr

It's been a while since I've been on and I just popped in to see what was going on... First, I don't have a clue as to what type of gun was involved in this scenario. I haven't been able to read any coverage as to what actually happened. I just heard about the tragedy, through the grapevine. With that said, there is no way, a modern handgun, that hasn't been altered, can be dropped and go off. Second, I really hate it when these types of things are reported as "accidental shootings." It wasn't an accident, it was negligence, plain and simple. I'm guessing it may not have bee

Then go back and read what was written and then what I said. It was stated that the cars have specialized air conditioner systems in them. I stated that they are not specialized AC systems and that it was another system that monitors the internal temperature of the vehicle and rolls the windows down if the internal temperature threshold is met. The system that rolls down the windows has absolutely nothing to do with air conditioning system at all. The system that rolls down the windows also gives the officer the ability to remotely open the door and let the K-9 out of the ve

Well, not really... there's nothing special about the AC units. The officers leave the vehicles running so the AC stays running. The "special design" if you want to call it that, is an inside thermostat that monitors the internal vehicle temperature. That system is tied to the windows. If for some reason, the vehicles AC system stops working and the temperature rises above a safe point, the system will trigger the vehicles windows to roll down.

April 9th is not the day the American Civil War ended. It is the day that General Lee surrendered the Northern Virginia Army. The war didn't officially end until June 2nd, when General Smith surrendered. General Smith was the last Confederate commander to surrender his forces, which was the end of the war.

I'm all about Elvis trivia.... That was on the Steve Allen Show and Elvis absolutely hated doing it.

Also, through an acquaintance of mine, who works for Comcast.... Channel 23's whole programming lineup is run by the county, not Comcast. Everything you see from Channel 23 is being broadcast from the administration building. Comcast is only providing the means to actually bringing it to your home. The schedule and content is from the county.

I'm sorry that you were told that and didn't take it further, but you were told incorrectly. If you live in Georgia, it doesn't matter where you live... cruelty to animals is a state law: § 16-12-4. Cruelty to animals (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) "Animal" shall not include any fish nor shall such term include any pest that might be exterminated or removed from a business, residence, or other structure. (2) "Malice" means: (A) An actual intent, which may be shown by the circumstances connected to the act, to cause the particular harm pr

The Gamo Bone Collector is one of the best, non 'professional' or 'competition' air rifles you can buy. The accuracy and speed is dang near un-matched, especially if you use the correct pellets. We chronographed a regular pellet and one of their pointed tip pellets and the muzzle velocity was staggeringly higher on the pointed tips.

It IS against the law. Unless the animal is threatening you or causing damage to your property, simply killing a domesticated animal for fun is animal cruelty. And banning the object is a ridiculous, over-reacting emotional idea. There plenty of people out there who use them responsibly. Sorry you lost a pet, but it wasn't because of the bb/pellet gun. You lost a pet because of an asshole. As was stated before, the gun was the least of the problem... If you know who did it, then you can have them arrested for animal cruelty. Deal with and punish the problem.

Yes, actually it is irrelevant because it wasn't a valid race to compare each car. As stated, the driver of the Challenger screwed up big time. First, he red lit and then lifted. Then, after the red lit, he hammered it and started spinning the tires and never lifted or pedaled it. That video showed nothing but a race of the driver skill... not one bit of vehicle comparative performance. As a heads up drag race, it was valid. As a race to compare performance of the two vehicles, it wasn't. With that said, there's no doubt that an electric vehicle is capable of producing more pow

Good question. Why don't you ask Pubby that instead of me? Since, my initial comment to him was simply, "FYI.... suicide is not a crime." That's the only thing I said. He's the one who had to put up some irrelevant diatribe to try to cover what he said that was wrong. Why don't you ask Pubby why it's SO important to be right since he's the one trying to justify himself.

You can still call the police for someone who is threatening suicide. And unless they do something to threaten the police or others, the police won't arrest the person. They can and will likely take that person in to "protective custody" and try to get that person some help, either via the a court order or just take them to a local counseling group. If the person is truly looking for help, the police will help them get that help. If the person is hell bent on killing them-self, the police will likely ask the court to evaluate and recommend protective custody counseling. In either case,

#1. Can you ever just say, "Yep, I made a mistake... my bad?" #2. The topic at hand is the body found at Burnt Hickory park. It has nothing to do with the two states that currently have suicide on the books as a crime. Burnt Hickory park is in Georgia, where it is not a crime. #3. Georgia doesn't recognize 'English common law" So again, that is irrelevant.

FYI... Suicide is not a crime.

There isn't a reputable website with this information, because it's not true. The strip in $5 bills are larger are is an anti-counterfeiting measure, just like the blue and red threads, the micro print around the portrait and other places, and the type of paper it's printed on. People started white-washing the $1 bills and reprinting them in $5's and higher. The paper is the correct paper and modern high end copy machines could reproduce the red and blue fibers. So, they started weaving a strip in to the end of the bill as another means to help prevent counterfeiting. Is i

Poetic Justice? How about stupidity and the very type of person who shouldn't be voting. To change or base your vote on some single persons actions, unless it is the person running for office, is pure stupidity. If you change your vote based on the candidates actions or their plan of office, fine. To vote or change the way you vote because someone stole a yard sign is pure stupidity and irresponsible voting. BTW, removing political office signs, where legally places, is illegal, no matter who removes them (with the exception of the property owner). You might want to file a

Not really... It's not a recall yet. The manufacturers are in a "collection" state where they will send out notices to a sampling of owners that have the suspected problems. After they examine those samplings, if the problem exists in the sampling, they report that to the NHTSA and there will be a recall from that, if necessary. The sampling recalls are not owner responsibility... they are completely covered, if they are problematic. If the sampling shows problematic inflator, the full recall will still be repaired at the cost of the manufacturer and be passed along to Takata

The steering wheel that the airbags bolt to and the frame under the dashboard on the passenger sides are metal and so are the buckets that the airbags sit in. If they weren't, that whole equal and opposite reaction thing would occur and make half the airbag pressure blow out behind the dashboard and steering column, rather than most of it going to inflate the bag and push it in to the passenger compartment. Normally, it's not a problem, but just like a gun that fires a properly loaded cartridge, it's normally safe. If you over-pressure a bullet cartridge or an airbag, the stress and

Yes, as the weather gets cooler, the food source gets sparse. The squirrels stay more tree bound. The rabbits, foxes, and other hibernating animals start to stay in their dens more... Mice become less active... When the food source starts drying up, the coyotes will wander out of the woods more to find food.

I wouldn't take it too personal. Something you might do, to bypass the USO, is call up a local recruiter station and ask them what you need to do to send some care packages to the troops. That's what I usually do. I don't send baked goods, but more along the lines of chocolate bars and candy that they usually don't get in combat areas... along with a thank you card for serving our country. Maybe you could do the same with your baked goods? Can't say for the other armed forces, but the Marine recruiters have always been more than welcoming and accommodating for gifts to the troo

Just a thought... stop and consider this... With all the evil and threats being made towards military members right now, would it really be wise to accept baked or cooked goods from individuals to give to our military service men and women? Remember, these people don't know you. While we know you'd not do anything, like poison the food, etc... the USO doesn't know that. The terrorist have made it quite clear that they are targeting military members. And at the same time, for stuff donated that they sell to raise money, the same kind of thing applies. In a sue happy society,

FAA regs require you to be 2000ft above the tallest 'obstacle' and not be more than 5 miles off the planned route, during the dump.
