Wayne LaPierre and the NRA are starting to be a little concerned about the current shift in the political climate. But I'm sure they will use it to ramp up fund raising and pay themselves ever higher salaries and benefits. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/politics/wayne-lapierre-cpac-speech-nra/index.html He conveniently omits the role played by the States in amending the constitution while he goes about his highly profitable fear mongering.

Oh yeah. Ann Coulter spouting off that the problem is all about immigration from "shithole countries". This garbage makes me puke. Edited to remove "f" word.

I do not understand where this camera is mounted and how it keeps the subject in frame. Anyone? https://streamable.com/vrq3t

You're missing the point. It's not illegal for someone underage to skydive. And it's not illegal to take them skydiving. It's just that it is unwise from both a legal liability and moral perspective, so we don't. There are some DZs that will, but most are smarter than that.

Europe seems to have a different idea of what a parent can do. In Canada, and of course the US, the parent's signatures on the waiver mean very little. Just because you are a parent does not allow you to waive the rights of your child. Skydive waivers all require you to give up several rights. Why? Because it is important that the participants understand and accept that their safety depends on their performance. And that they understand that if they get hurt its not someone else's fault. It's an adult sport for a reason.

The goal is less mass killings. The method is making the tools used to do them harder to get. Keep your eye on the ball. Squirmin flails squirming flail You made my night! Good night Hey Marc. How long will it take you to get on the right wing bus and start accusing the survivors of being “crisis actors”. Come on, you know you wanna. Do you have the decency to resist, or are you going to march along like the loyal soldier you always are? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

They do not function the same. They have much smaller magazines and longer barrels. They are for longer ranges, not suitable for mass murder. You just made an example of why the others didn't reply. Large magazines are just as available for those and you can get them as short as 16 inch barrels. Thank you But large magazines could be banned as well as shorter barrels. That's how we handle the issue here. It's not necessary to ban hunting rifles. Just certain modifications. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Here in Canada restricted weapons must be registered. Mainly handguns I believe. In 1995 when the current program was introduced, it required registration of all, including non-restricted rifles and shotguns etc as well. This part of the program was massively resisted, delayed, and ultimately dropped. Even Canadians have limits on how much gun control we will accept. Automatic weapons are generally completely prohibited. Assault type rifles are allowed, with very strong magazine limits. Handguns are allowed by permit with very strong restrictions on storage and keeping them secure. Gun enthusiasts gaze longingly at what is allowed in the US and they complain that some of the places where the line is drawn on what is prohibited can be arbitrary. Almost no one is allowed to carry. Even off duty LEOs are not allowed to walk around with concealed pistols. Our firearms death rate is about 20 % of that in the US. The system does not stop people from being killers. But it makes it very hard for them to be efficient killers. And the police do not feel they need to shoot quickly when someone's hands go out of view. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Change is going to be a very heavy lift in your country. The 2nd really boxes you in and the bar to amend the constitution is extremely high. My guess is that the courts will eventually "adjust" the meaning of it. But only when the people clearly demand change. And so far the majority are not.

Yes, this thread would lead you to believe that the problem is simply mass shootings of students. But the reality is that the death count is nearly always raised by good old one at a time angry human shooting another angry human. They don't get discussed here very much though. America's firearm problem is so much deeper than just the maniac with the AR-15. But those spectacular crimes are what will drive the movement for change. Right this very moment someone, likely several people, are plotting how to out do the Vegas killer and the Florida school shooter. And laying in the weapons and ammo to do it. With each new atrocity the bar is raised. You can argue about guards in schools all you want. That merely makes them the first target that the killer needs to take out. Or some other crowd will do in a pinch. America is a "target rich" environment. If the law requires you to register your weapons you will have a choice. Register or be a criminal. You'll do the right thing. Because you are not a criminal. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Gun control works in every other western country. Government has both caused and is the solution to this problem. The people just have to give it a mandate. Until the people do that, your defeatist statement is true. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

America is not living in the real world. Effective gun control exists all around the first world with only positive effect. Only in failed states do we see the level gun violence greater than yours. Even most of the "shit hole countries" are doing better in this regard. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Laws are enforceable if society has the will to enforce them. It will be necessary to take rights away from people reduce the current problem. Sooner or later you and all of America will need to accept that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Are the lines in the middle and orderly with good tension? Is the slider properly stowed? Are the lines stowed properly? If you can answer yes to these questions it does not matter how the canopy was folded into the bag.

Trump supporters and Rs in general don't like some things about Trump. But they do like the fact that an R is POTUS. And that is more important than his flaws. As Mitch McConnell said, losers go home, winners make policy. Trump won, and he carried the Rs to majorities in both houses. You can not argue with those facts. As long as their team is making policy they will defend the leader. If you don't like it do something about it at election time. Don't bother yourself thinking scandal will take care of the problem. No matter what Mueller finds it will not matter in the least. Besides, there is good reason to believe the lap dog Pence would be even worse.

Gun rights fanatics do not support the killing of children. But they would rather see more children killed than give up their rights to play with whatever guns they choose. So they are not death supporters, but rather death enablers. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
