LA Riots? Please. I'll venture a guess that no one on this board has ever spent any significant time in South Los Angeles (a.ka. "South Central") other than possibly an alumnus of the University of Southern California (and that campus is behind guarded walls). No one in Burbank or Santa Monica needed to engage in "street justice" during those riots.

No one has a problem with the guns in your home, Tasker. But almost everyone will have a problem if your guns leave your home with someone you did not intend, for a malevolent purpose.

Specious. I've heard this argument in numerous forms - He could have had a knife, planted a bomb, etc. The school had security in place to deter unknown visitors. Lanza blasted his way into the school. Without ample firepower, he wasn't getting in. And about the baseball bat - I agree with "any one of us here...." But I bet you didn't say "Lanza could have killed those kids with a bat" for a reason. Have you seen pictures of him? His arms were so skinny he could barely pick up a bat, much less swing one. The ease, skill and detachment of the lethal violence he was able to dole out with his mother's guns is what's at issue here.

C'mon - This isn't one rogue journalist in Ireland perverting the facts. Guns were far more than a "hobby" for this woman - may she rest in peace.

I can infer that your gun(s) are in a safe place. Guns are routinely stolen and used in ways the owner(s) would find undesirable.

So they're never locked away?

Serious question: Let's say you have at least one kid living at your house, and you're a gun owner. Shotgun, Colt .45, doesn't matter. Even if you lock them up, are they ever really secure? As a young kid there was no tangible asset in our house that my parents could hide from me. I eventually located everything. If it was locked, I found out the combination or pilfered the key at some point. Kids are resourceful. And tenacious. Maybe my parents didn't have anything as "exciting" as a gun to hide, but I'm just wondering.

Yep. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, in an interview on "Fox News Sunday," defended the sale of assault weapons and said that the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who authorities say died trying to overtake the shooter, should herself have been armed. "I wish to God she had had an M-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands. But she takes him (the shooter) out, takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids," Gohmert said. Yeah, great idea. So under this clown's leadership, every school in the country - which are already completely strapped for state education funds - would have to provide weaponry and shooting training to school principals? Could you imagine the job interviews? "Tell me your background." "Well I love kids. I have three of my own, and I was vice-principal for 7 years at -" "That's fine. Can you handle a Colt M4 carbine? That's what we have at our school."

I genuinely feel bad for the mother but let's be real: She may as well have pulled the trigger on one of her guns on herself. And allegedly Lanza recently tried unsuccessfully to purchase a gun. If true, the "system" worked except the mother didn't know how unstable her son was, nor did she do anything to secure her own private home arsenal.

The deterrent to that is that NYC has a hell of a lot of cops and security cameras to enforce the law. Businesses almost never get robbed. I couldn't imagine someone even trying. I don't live in the Bronx and I don't find myself wandering the city between 4 and 5 AM very often, but I have never felt the need to have a gun where I live.

That's totally misleading. 100,000 people? That's like one neighborhood in Brooklyn. New York cannot be compared with cities with a minimum of 100,000 population. Try 1,000,000.

Ha! Yeah I'm a regular Bernie Goetz

Anyone familiar with New York City's gun laws? In New York, if you get caught with a loaded firearm outside of your home, a conviction is a Class C violent felony and carries 3.5 - 15 years - and you do at least 80% of the jail time. Guns aren't banned in New York. But possession of a loaded weapon outside the home is criminal, and carries a huge penalty. NYC is the safest big city in the country. It's not even close. And for me, after living here for 6 years, it feels safe. I like the fact that most people I that encounter aren't carrying a gun. I like that, if some douchebag decides to pull a gun out in public, I can take action with the cops to have his dumb a$$ thrown in jail. I certainly don't want to see a fully armed populace of George Zimmermans walking around.

Seatlle is a threat to SF! 58-0 win last week and more of the same vs. Buffalo. SF @ SEA next week...

Well I can hope for a Seattle injury at least

This man could play QB....

If Brady is truly the football version of Milli Vanilli there has to be more proof than "they win too many games to not be cheating"

I used to say similar things about Aikman, Favre and Simms.-

There has been no better defense in the entire league from 2004-2012 than Pittsburgh. Don't waste your time looking up stats, there's no doubt about it.

Roethlisberger has benefited from probably the best defense in the league throughout his entire career. Also a top running game. There is more to this than rings.

You obviously are a huge fan of his - vs. GB Roehlisberger's rating was 77.4. Picked off twice, including one for a TD. Rodgers completely outplayed him and will easily surpass him as far as legacy is concerned.

And I would say that he played very well in one Super Bowl but poorly in the other.
