Not many schools outside Bama, Texas, Clemson, UGA can do that. OU doesn't even do that.

One is in our Bill of Rights. The other is not. Firearms are more important to people in the United States. Not even close. We went hundreds of years without cars. We can do without them. And again, you don't get to tell me what I can use to hunt with. I use the AR platform to hunt deer (.308) and hogs (300 AAC Blackout). I use my AR-15 when I have to take down rabid animals on my property (live on 30 acres). There has been rabid raccoons, skunk and one bobcat. I had to shoot several coyote a few years ago that were attacking my dogs. I wouldn't do that with a bolt action hunting rifle. Wouldn't hut hogs with a bolt gun either (or shotgun). It's just dumb to do so. Not when we have a platform like the AR.

Maybe where you're from. Where I'm from, MANY of us hunt for food. That's been happening ever since the first firearm was invented in the 6th century. And that's out of left field... .50 caliber machine guns (Ma Deuce?)??? When did that become a problem? LOL

Irrelevant No one cares if you want to dress up like J. Edgar Hoover. No one cares if you make out with your boyfriend in front of your wife's boyfriend. What most conservatives want? Don't need to push it on us... don't need to teach it to 4 year olds. Don't need to have a stupid parade. We aren't having parades about heterosexuals'.

More cars = more vehicular deaths

Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

People like this guy will go to prison for the rest of his life and should. This moron's actions does not reflect the rest of gun owners in America. Amandeep Singh, who killed two teenagers outside NYC, should not reflect the rest of the Indian-Americans, car owners or people who have a drink or two every so often. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/amandeep-singh-accused-of-wrong-way-drunk-driving-that-killed-ethan-falkowitz-and-drew-hassenbein/

There 100% are Ukrainian Neo-Nazi's. The Azov Battalion was even incorporation into the Ukrainian military 10 years ago. It's what Putin refers to when he says there are Nazi's in Ukraine. (BTW: I got a 60-day ban for posting a link to a CBS article about them on Facebook)

It's pretty astonishing how some people on here think we didn't play a huge part in Russia invading. Proxy war. Proxy war. Proxy war. War = $$$$$

He's 1000% right. This is a US v Russia proxy war and we could have helped prevent it... but Biden wants a war. He wants Putin gone and he doesn't care how many lives it costs. This is W. x 1000 because despite how many people died in the war vs Iraq, we get into a direct war with Russia due to NATO and Biden, we could see billions die.

He criticized, maybe you disagree with his argument, that we were fitting most of the bill for NATO while other nations did very little and reaped the rewards of our military and $$$$ Germany and the US now pay around 16% of the operating costs. That's because Trump called out the BS. Before that, 3.3% of the GDP went to NATO (from the US). Germany was giving 1.2% (less than the agreed 2% for NATO nations). Of all 29 NATO allies at the time, the U.S. defense budget accounts for about two-thirds of that total.

The source on that? Anti-Trump 'journalists' from the Post and NYT... via 'anonymous sources' who were 'supposedly' White House aides. That's what we call... hearsay.

The reunion episode was GREAT. It was the finale we deserved. And the "Judy" episode made me laugh to the point to where I almost threw up! LOL "Mommy, Mommy, that bald man's in the bathroom, and there's something hard in his pants!" "Let me understand. You got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen?"

TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greatest comedy in TV history. What sucks, the woman I'm engaged to is 30 (I'm 48) and there is a big disconnect in humor on TV for both of us. Nearly every day, I see a situation or am in one that I can related to a Seinfeld episode... example, the other day we were driving downtown OKC and a pigeon was in the middle of the road and wouldn't get out of the way of my car. I yelled "they're breakin' the deal!!! It's like the pigeons decided to ignore me!!!!!" 🤣 She had no idea what I was talking about. LOL

I was answering why I think there's been an increase of gun violence. I'm talking the correlation of facts. That's not racist my man. (and I didn't say anything about that in regards to the recent mass shooters)

The Second Amendment understood that every type of firearm and ammunition available was protected by the guarantee, and that the Founders intended the People to have unfettered access to even military weapons, so the People would have equal footing in resistance to military enforcement of laws passed by abuse of government power. George Washington asserted this same right in a speech he gave to Congress in 1790, "A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government..." How are facts racist? Are you going to be one of those people who think, if a stat is awful in regards to a race... it's just racist? Seriously?

When Covid hit and the market tanked all cruise lines (and airlines), I bought the hell out of it. Royal went from $125/share to $21. I bought as much as I could. It still has a ways to go from where it was but so far it's been a 275% increase. (this is how billionaires made even more money during Covid, which I'm sure you know)

Sweet! I have stock in RC. Hope you're having a great time.

I stand corrected. They were one of the first. The point still applies. Finland was not a part of the USSR and was an early member of the EU. Ukraine was part of the USSR and only joined the EU after Russia invaded. So... @ChiGoose bringing up Finland in comparison to Ukraine, it's not the same scenario.

Dude, why did you bother to start this thread? I explained why I believe it happened. Your plan was to just try and insult people who didn't give you exactly what you wanted to hear? What a f'ing idiotic thing to do. Finland was a founding member of the EU. Ukraine was not. Ukraine was also IN the USSR before the fall. Finland was not.

Poverty. Single parent homes. No parent homes. There is also a correlation to when SNAP/Welfare benefits were enacted then were heavily pushed in the 1960's and single parent homes in the black community. The black community used to have lower divorce rate than any other race in America until the 1960's. Then it skyrocketed. Crime also skyrocketed in those communities.

Not ignoring anything. I'm just going to show you the numbers so we can see the black and white (facts) of your question (no pun intended). And I'm not making an argument. I'm just saying there is a clear correlation to race and crime. Why makes no difference to statistics: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/table-43

BWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! So I explain why Russia is doing what they are doing thus I'm a commie lover? Makes a lot of sense. Why don't you just ask: "Why is Russia doing what they are doing to Ukraine? If you answer anything other than 'RUSSIA IS SATAN!!!!', I'll call you a Commie/Putin lover" You're pathetic.

Explain
