Translated = don't go to Chicago if you have any other options.
(been a long time since I went to Wrigley last time there - "The Hawk" Andre Dawson was in the outfield and Ryne Sandberg at 2nd base. 2 HOF's)

I had a gun delivered to my door in CA - Nobody questioned it!
I needed to be there to sign! But it did come, and I still do have it!

Agreed. But once someone is deemed a certifiable whack-job and a threat to anyone and everyone, you put them down or lock them up and throw away the key (my preference would be the former).
Sadly, there have been many of these mass shooters that showed all the signs, yet nobody that had the power to do something about it, did anything about it. Hurt feelings and such........ridiculous.
And let's not compare all "guns" with semiautomatic assault rifles either. I support strict limits on fast-shooting weapons of war in civilian hands. That's why we have limits on fully automatic weapons. The topic was guns in general. You conflate the two, not me. And yes, there are cases of mass murder with knives in Croatia in WWII, but not in a few minutes. The victims were restrained, but knives were used.
But even assault rifles are tools for the military and perhaps law enforcement. A truck, fertilizer, and a 747 have all been weaponized to kill many people quickly. Just because I see guns as tools doesn't mean I don't support limits on their production or use. We're in a funny time when this polarization has left us with one self-righteous side who want to remove all guns, and the other self-righteous side who see limits on weapons of war as a violation of their constitutional rights. Crazy sh*t.
We could eliminate the incarcerated part in one weekend, and I'm talking about the worst of the worst and those that are clearly destined to end up there that are still plaguing all of our cities, multiple repeat offenders that are walking the streets until the inevitable happens.
We have the most powerful military on Planet Earth, but we can't make every corner of every city in America safe enough to walk thru at any given time for the law abiding citizen? Give me a fricking break. One weekend. Done deal.
How many of these were by the police? Contact Jesse Jackson please..
How many times your kid crossed the line? He got three chances?Too late. They've been wearing Gopher tshirts for years.
you're in rare form today.... I can imagine you actually resemble your avatar
Don't police have a different legal obligation to directly respond and intervene with certain extreme crimes than a regular citizen does?
There are no “gun accidents”. Think about it. Never set down a loaded gun, every gun is loaded, every act in firing a weapon is a conscious act (open receiver, insert shell, close receiver, release safety, et al…). Failure to consciously execute any element of the procedure will cause the weapon to fail/not fire. I have owned guns (and fired many weapons during tour in Viet Nam) all my life and have always conducted myself under the dictate, ‘There are no gun accidents’.
Regarding the Stoll incident, have there been any criminal charges filed (?) against anyone (?). Surely there must be some legal liability for shooting someone in Iowa City; some consequence (student) with the University of Iowa.

good advice.... also, no back flips at a bar with a loaded gun tucked in your waistband
CPD Cpt Murdered this year off Michigan Ave. Most murders happen to be gang on gang, however many of them are moving their attacks onto the interstate to create juristidiction issues and an easier route to flee. More State police have been moved into cook county to try to combat, but not near enough to make a major difference. If you are traveling to Chicago sometime and passing threw via Joliet. Hit me up and you can come shoot at my range, there are exceptions I make for pro 2nd Hawkeye Fans!!
You'd have to teach me how to shoot first! Well, a handgun or an AK or something anyway. I've only ever owned shotguns, like my old reliable Remington 870 12 gauge.
My small place of work has an arsenal equal to some small countries, and they have had a couple of outings to a shooting range, but I've been headed out of state on those occasions and haven't been able to make it. I'm one of the few who doesn't hold a conceal and carry license.
Amazing the amount of money these cats spend on their weaponry, ammo, loaders, bells and whistles, etc.
That icon to the left has a story- moved from the farm to a big city in fifth grade. Mom decided we should get real hair cuts. Went to, I believe cost cutter, and got a haircut. Half way through it the hairdresser went "uhhhh" grabbed something from her station and yanked one of these out. Wasn't quite this big but big enough to squeeze and pop it.
Given the content of some of your posts I thought it was a dung beetle.
Very true, I am feeding off this place. Good post!
EDIT: I kid. Good people over hear, cept my troll.
Congrats on just confessing to a federal crime.
Y’all could have told me the Dan Gable museum had such a hospitable neighbor. I may be a Gopher fan, but I am still a human being.Probably just got him confused with Grappler6. That guy is awesome.#GoGophers
I am going to be in Cedar Falls for the next few days. What bridge should I avoid?
A true /csb... Haven’t seen one this strong in awhile. Congrats.
I wonder how many more men would visit the museum if they knew there was a strip club next door.
We are far behind Russia and China, they have tech that will make Nukes look silly and simple- it will be on the news soon
Fair enough and agree. I don’t think anybody is trying to get rid of all guns-but as we both appear to agree is that it shouldn’t be that easy to get automatic, extended clips, certain stocks, suppressor etc. I am all about hunting and rec shooting, you don’t need any of those to hunt.....
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to cash in all my retirement accounts and live large until they come to get us.........
You’re wasting your time, Gobblin. Don’t feed the troll!
I drank with a buddy last weekend who might have shared some classified info- but will be out in the public soon.
My motto has always been "don't get liquored up when you have classified information stored in your melon".
So I avoid having classified information.....
