The "arming teachers" argument may be perfectly reasonable & sensible depending on what is meant by it. Allowing teachers with concealed carry permits, possibly subject to such requirements as completion of a supplemental safety course & background check, to permissibly carry a secured & concealed weapon might not be a bad idea. If you're talking about a general policy of arming teachers I'd say that's just as retarded as the concept of a "gun-free school zone."

Nobody likes a stool pigeon.

If only reality mirrored the cartoon that plays out in your head everything would be so simple.

I only watched him v USC. He looked ok, but nothing spectacular.

Wasn't it his passenger that was killed?

I hope the 9ers run up the score.

Someone (I think in another thread) called for a repeal of the 2nd.

You don't have to pay a tax on the gunshots. You pay a tax penalty if you don't include a corresponding anti-gun gun message.

He does, but he's not going to tell you about it.

So can you, even in a broad general sense, explain how gun prohibition would be implemented? Home defense?

Work on your cardio

Excellent point Along similar lines: http://www.federalobserver.com/archive.php?aid=4618 Actually, your statement could be interpreted a number of ways and I was looking for clarification. Instead I got this bull **** response.

What the hell does that mean?

Are you joking? I've seen this avatar in use in strange parts of the web.

I agree completely. If I had to guess I'd say it's somehow a product of the culture, but I'm just speculating.

Can you provide a reasonable and realistic scenario where that plays out?

The problem is it's pretty damn hard to make a cogent anti-gun argument based on the relatively low number of total fatalaties resulting from these types of shootings.

When I was in HS (15 or 16) my school had an all night "walk-a-thon" and they had a helium tank for the balloons. We were huffing on it to talk with a helium voice. I pulled a couple of deep breaths when we saw some people and started running over to them. Mid-stride I fainted and landed face first on a gravel track. The cop who just saw me take a face-plant comes over to me, lying awkardly in the middle of the track with my face thrashed and asks if I'm okay. As I was coming to, I was semi-conscious, had no recollection of what had happened, thought I was in the grass, opened my eyes and said "yeah, I'm just lying down." God knows what he must have thought.

No, he'll use someone else's for that.

I'll take Consumer Reports word over your anecdotal evidence. Plus, my anecdotal evidence shows that Chrysler's are ****.

I fear Kerry will bring a Jhenjiss Kahn style of diplomacy to the administration.

I wouldn't buy anything made by Chrysler, with the possible exception of a Ram truck if the price was really good). Over the years the Chrysler brands across the board have consistently scored among the worst in the industry for reliability.

What, exactly, is your point?

Glennon is better than he gets credit for. He's never going to be a scrambler, but he has enough mobility to escape pressure to get the throw off. I'll be stoked if he's a Bill come draft day.

Sometimes you have to get worse before you get better. The team Buddy inherited wasn't the team that played the year before (that went 6-10). The best player from the year before (Aaron Shobel) retired. The top receiver from that year (TO) was not resigned. Plus, we went in a completely different direction on defense. The offense got better, the defense got worse. Now it's starting to look like both sides are getting up to speed. There was always the question of whether this defense would gel in the first year. We also had a brutal schedule to start the season. I'm always optimistic, but all things considered, my expectations of next season are much higher than they were for this season.
