Aww, man. Tears for Fears would be great. I do see some tix in the $50-$60 range, but they're pretty far from the stage.

If we don't go 22-0 this year, then I want his bald little wrasslin' clap-happy ass outta here.

I agree that banning semi-automatic weapons is a bit of a pipe dream, but I do believe it's what is necessary. And (this is not pointed toward you) to all the people who like to beat the "CRIMINALS ARE GONNA GET THESE WEAPONS EVEN IF THEY'RE ILLEGAL" drum ... no effin sh!t. We all know that. But it's too goddamn easy for any joe schmo to purchase one. Mental illness is one of .. if not the .. biggest plagues our nation faces. And it's also not being addressed properly. Background checks need to be extensive. Applicants' social media activity needs to be reviewed/monitored. As you mentioned, waiting times need to be be appropriately long. There is so much more that can be done if these weapons continue to be available to the general public. But I will always maintain that eliminating them is the answer.

Perhaps not. But fewer deaths and injuries.

Well, for one (and at top of mind), mass shootings would be far less severe.

I have no problem with responsible gun ownership. I grew up with guns and hunted at a young age. I DO have a problem with semi-automatic weapons. They are killing machines with no other purpose. There's a lot we can do. And yes ... I agree ... nothing gets done because people dig their heels in. There IS a logical solution. It just doesn't include semi-automatic weapons.

It's a goal we should work toward. Oh, yes. Then forget it. Mea culpa.

So you can look at the gun violence statistics in this country and honestly say that removing all semi-automatic weapons is extreme?? Common man. That's not extreme. It's logical.

This is very badolish. Hmm. Anyhoo ... you can toot your horn as much and as loudly as you want. If you were that good, you'd be able to shoot an unarmed ***** animal in the heart with one shot. But you need to be able to fire a shot per second. Something's not adding up, here.

I'm a veteran, sweetheart.

Honestly, who gives a rat's ass about your military experience? That means LITERALLY nothing.

I'm 51 years old and know exactly zero people who've had their house broken into. I like my odds.

Ah, here we go. This is always so cute. I don't watch the View. I don't watch CNN. I am not a Biden fan. I was not a Hillary fan. Now that THAT's out of the way ... If you need a semi-automatic weapon to HUNT, then you should either find another hobby or, perhaps, start hunting rabbits or something.

If you need a semi-automatic weapon to shoot an effing boar, then you're not a very good hunter.

My definition of a semi-automatic gun is one that does not need to be cocked between shots fired. I am not anti-gun and I am pro 2nd amendment. But it's antiquated. There is no reason for anyone to have semi-automatic weapons. Their only purpose is to kill people. We need less of that.

There is literally ZERO need for any person to have semi-automatic weapons. Hunting? No. Home defense? No. They are made for one purpose ... killing people. Absolutely nothing good comes from them being available. Nothing. You want to feel macho? Go buy a big truck with big tires and one of those exhausts that runs up behind your windows.

You mad, bro?

I will never stop believing that the O Line did not block for him in that SD game.

Well ain't THAT a pisser!

I think the difference between the Mets and Yankees is that the Mets have spent money stupidly (Cano) and the Yankees bought good players, only to let Girardi - who I consider to be a top-notch Manager - go, only to replace him with an unproven, unexperienced bean counter. To that note, the Mets have also made bad decisions with GM and Manager hires in recent years. I feel good about the current regime, but the annual injury bug has already been biting. I've always maintained that, had the Yankees retained Girardi, their WS drought would have ended the year(s) after his departure.

And if you ask me, I will tell you that the Mets, too, have underachieved with they money they've spent over the years. Both teams have failed. Miserably.

This will be my first time. The guys I'm going with (two brothers) have seen him multiple times and LOVE his shows. I'm really looking forward to it.

Well, I'm not sure if Jeudy and his girlfriend have any kind of domestic violence past, so I can't speak to it. And further downstream, I agreed with Levi that he was likely arrested because the cops asked him to unlock the car/give her her stuff, but he refused. In which case - yes, I agree that an arrest would be warranted. But if he was asked to return the stuff and complied, I'd see no reason to arrest him.

Added Alice Cooper to my list of upcoming shows. Seeing him at the Palace Theater (same place we saw Joan Jett - and my favorite venue. That's in Sept. I want to pull the trigger on the newly announced Smashing Pumpkins/Jane's Addiction tour ... but I've seen Jane's six times and I don't know if I want to see them at MSG for the crazy price tickets are going for. Plus, I think the concert is on a Wednesday and it would have to be a turn and burn, driving directly into/out of Manhattan. Makes for a long ass night. Everclear is doing a 30th Anniversary tour and they're coming to the Albany area in July. Frog Alley Brewing Co. Now THAT is my kind of venue. VIP seats are only $65/each after taxes and fees. Fastball is opening and the show starts at 6:30pm. My kinda show! I'll likely pull the trigger on those tix.

We still took it in the pooper on that trade.
