Well, they screwed up the billion dollar launch pad meant for the SLS. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/02/sls-ml-leaning-not-corrective-work/

Your third paragraph really stands out to me. I think you're falling victim to your ignorance of firearms. At the risk of sounding morbid or insensitive, an autoloading shotgun or semiautomatic handgun would be probably as effective in a school shooting as a semiautomatic rifle, the handgun possibly more so. Both of those have been in production and readily available to citizens since well before the World War 1. One of the biggest reasons handguns aren't used as much is because many big box stores that sell cheap guns, Wal Mart for example, make it company policy not to stock handguns.

2.5. I think that some of the regulations we have now, specifically the NICS check, is being half-assed. The most blatant example is that one of the recent mass shooters had purchased the firearm AFTER he had been dishonorably discharged from the military. If that information can't be passed between the DOD and the FBI, two federal agencies, what the hell is the point? Start there.

Maybe people are "missing the point" of your posts because you're not communicating effectively. I mean, I'm still waiting for you to explain why an individual can't possibly affected by handgun fire just because they're carrying a rifle.

Oh, I wasn't even referencing you saying he had an AK-47. I was more concermed with your implication that someone with a semi automatic rifle is somehow immune to handgun fire.

By all means, explain it for me.

You shouldn't be ashamed to come out and say you know nothing about firearms. Everybody has knowledge gaps of some sort.

I don't think anybody is really proposing compulsory carry for teachers. Simply allowing them the option may help. Odds are good that you will find a small number of qualified individuals who are willing to carry. I went to a pretty small high school (avg graduating class around 90) and two teachers were combat veterans, and my guidance counselor was a former sheriff's deputy. These attackers know that schools today are soft targets. Putting a little doubt in their mind about that could move the needle a bit.

I was away from home one summer and my roommate had to use a gun to repel a hammer wielding burglar. Granted, he wasn't carrying a gun, but I don't think any of us is getting in line to go toe to toe unarmed against someone with armed with hammer.

I was just thinking about this, but I think they would have sniffed around everywhere at Cuse when the whole Fab Melo thing went down. I feel like if there was something there, we would already know about it.

It could travel through the car itself. So if there was a microphone mounted to the car, it might pick up some muffled noise from the speakers. It doesnt really matter though, because with the live video feed, the batteries in the car were only expected to last about 12 hours.

I have no doubt SLS will beat BFR off the pad, but it's being built using tech thats already obsolete. Government spaceflight at it's finest. The Falcon 9, on the other hand, was improved on the fly, and its current iteration is as powerful as the Falcon Heavy was first intended to be. It's the exact opposite of what's going on over at NASA/ULA.

It's a good thing they passed on that invitation, or this might not have gotten as much attention. A lot of (ahem...) Twitter users were blasting this as "an out of touch rich white guy who just wanted to shoot his car into space." The dude just sparked the next saga in space exploration, and they're mad about how he is going about it.

I wonder how the average qb salary as a percentage of the cap today compares to that of the past. I'm far too lazy to figure it out myself.

Gonna put the "wood" back in Hollywood.

If he's looking into acting, why the hell is he talking to Stallone?

Take it on down to football town.

Everybody watch your necks, Gronk is getting fruatrated!

I feel horrible saying this, but if I'm the eagles, that play was worth both of those hits.
