Ponderable

I couldn't help but notice that the original article in the NY Times did not have any paragraphs bolded except for the "Correction" line. Who did that for you?
It's okay my little editor. Let's not consider emphasis an error.
 
I actually agree with that NY Times article. Focusing on "Assault" weapons is bullshit, true assault weapons have been illegal forever so the more recent bans are just weak attempts at banning a certain kind of weapon that is mostly cosmetic. Common sense gun reforms don't focus on "assault weapons" because it's all guns and the number of guns that is the problem.
Bullets are the problem tootse.
 
Surprise, surprise, surprise.........

A former Navy machinist mate who admitted taking photos inside a nuclear submarine was sentenced to a year in prison Friday, with a federal judge rebuffing a request for probation in light of authorities deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information on a private email server as secretary of state.
Kristian Saucier’s attorneys argued in a court filing last week that Clinton had been "engaging in acts similar to Mr. Saucier" with information of much higher classification. It would be "unjust and unfair for Mr. Saucier to receive any sentence other than probation for a crime those more powerful than him will likely avoid," attorney Derrick Hogan wrote.

No one at the highest levels plays by the rules us common folk do...

Is there something classified about this photo of the Alexandria?
 
We know where we want to go...Wyoming and or Arizona.
There was a time not many years ago I would have put in to hunt Ventura County.
With the drought and the mountain lion protection....where once you would see many deer, last couple of years have been few to none.

Although Pepperdine has a nice herd running the campus...:cool:
I hope you two have a great time.
That sounds really cool.
 
Karl Marx thought that capitalism inevitably made the rich richer and the poor poorer. By the time Marx died, however, the average Englishman was three times richer than at the time of his birth 65 years earlier — never before had the population experienced anything like it.--Johan Norbert
 
The chart above confirms Irwin’s statement by showing the shares of US imports of goods classified by “end-use category.” In 2015, imports of capital goods (machinery, equipment, aircraft, semiconductors, engines, tractors, etc.) and industrial equipment (lumber, chemicals, aluminum and copper, iron and steel, cotton and wool, plastics, fuels, etc.) together accounted for 53% of total imports last year. It’s an important point that more than half of what enters the US as imports are orders from US companies (e.g. manufacturers) for equipment, supplies, raw materials, commodities, and other imports that serve as direct inputs into the production process that takes places in American factories and businesses that employ millions of American workers. And the lower the price of inputs for US businesses (whether sourced internationally or domestically), the more competitive those companies are, the more of their products they can sell (both international and domestically), the greater market share they can achieve, and the more US workers they can hire. In contrast, the higher the prices of imported inputs (e.g. through higher tariffs), the less competitive US companies will be, and the fewer workers they will hire. Keep that in mind the next time you hear Trump’s nitwitery about creating more American jobs by making imported inputs more expensive with his proposals to impose double-digit tariffs on goods from Mexico and China.

Marxism is what feeds the bern.
It makes life fair for everyone but the few at central command, who decide how the fairness should be spread around.
Us few, ..I mean those few, need the resources to enable our, ..I mean, their brilliant vision of fairness to be forced on the population.
 
Chicago Tribune

At least 25 people were shot over 14 hours in attacks across Chicago beginning Saturday afternoon, police said, equivalent to someone being shot every 33 minutes.

Three of the shootings were fatal, including an attack in Marquette Park at about 2:50 a.m. Sunday.

Darius Brownlee, 25, was on a porch in the 7000 block of South Artesian Avenue when someone walked up and asked if he had any marijuana, according to family. When he said he didn't, the person shot him in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

"He had a heart. He was respectful," said his sister, Iesha Brownlee, at the scene. "A very respectful young man. He would help anybody."

Five minutes after midnight, a 24-year-old man was shot dead in the Homan Square neighborhood. Police responded to a call of a person shot in the 3700 block of West Grenshaw Street and found him on his porch with a gunshot wound to the chest. He said he had been shot in another location and walked back to his home to tell his family he had been wounded, police said. From there, he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead.

At 8:10 p.m. Saturday, a 20-year-old man was on the sidewalk in the 2700 block of North Harding Avenue in Logan Square when someone shot him in the head. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Sucks that guns are so common in America that they become a tool to solve your problems in life.

Sucks that people lack self respect, compassion or civility.
Sucks that people turn to violence, drugs, & in doing so have total disregard for their neighbors and themselves.
Don't blame the tool, blame the operator of the tool.
Blame the enablers.

The NRA and 2A worshipers won't consider any discussion, even the ones aimed at dealing with the people who have access and use guns. Drugs and crime exist in other nations, it's unfortunate that here our criminals are surrounded by tools of destruction.

The NRA speaks for the millions and millions of gun owners who have never and will never use their guns in an unlawful manner.
Are they at times unreasonable? Sure. Look at the hysterical bull that come from those that would confiscate all guns, as if this will cure the reasons people in Chicago slaughter their neighbors.
There are many people who believe individuals should be held accountable for their actions.
Alcohol does not make people drink and drive, short dresses do not make rapists and the 2nd amendment doesn't make people murderers.

You honestly believe that criminals in Russia or China, the European countries or South America don't surround themselves with "tools of destruction"?
Muahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

Right!

By "enablers" do you mean those who make guns so easy to obtain?
