Would it make you feel better if the word "terrorist" was used somewhere within the article? Does that word validate the story or the circumstances?

If what you wrote (underlined by me) is true, then how is that possible in a city like Chicago that has some of the strictest gun laws in the country? It isn't the gun, it's the element of those using the gun. It's the gangs, political and a judicial landscape that has been created in Chicago. The primary problem in Chicago (as the FBI and CDC have suggested) are the gangs which are responsible for nearly 70% of all homicides committed in that city. But let's examine this from a different perspective. The State of Arizona is what is known as a "Constitutional Carry" state (as of 2010). This means if you are legal to own a gun; you can carry a gun; no background or vetting process; thus no permit required. I don't recall reading much about the inordinate amount of homicides by firearms in the major cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, etc. Chicago has its own problem - one in which it was allowed to fester over the years and that city is in a position whereby they are unable to contain the carnage and it will only get worse until they wipe out the gangs.

For shits and giggles, I thought I would look up some actual data for the United States. The population increased 13% for the period. Homicides by firearms average 11,666 per year while all homicides averaged 17,377. Yet the number of guns increased 51% for the period. As noted, the average number of homicides for the period is 11,666 which is more than the most previous 6 years in the period and the population has increased exponentially, one could conclude that more guns could be attributed to resulting in less homicides and homicides by firearms per capita in the United States. Feel free to flame away. ...A............B...............C...........D.............E.......... 2000: 282,172,000 - 10,801 - 16,765 - 259,000,000 2001: 285,082,000 - 11,348 - 20,308 - 262,000,000 2002: 287,804,000 - 11,829 - 17,638 - 264,000,000 2003: 290,326,000 - 11,920 - 17,732 - 265,000,000 2004: 293,046,000 - 11,624 - 17,357 - 268,000,000 2005: 295,753,000 - 12,352 - 18,124 - 275,000,000 2006: 298,593,000 - 12,791 - 18,573 - 281,000,000 2007: 301,580,000 - 12,632 - 18,361 - 290,000,000 2008: 304,375,000 - 12,179 - 17,826 - 300,000,000 2009: 307,007,000 - 11,493 - 16,799 - 310,000,000 2010: 309,330,000 - 11,078 - 16,259 - 318,000,000 2011: 311,583,000 - 11,101 - 16,238 - 325,000,000 2012: 313,874,000 - 11,622 - 16,688 - 340,000,000 2013: 316,129,000 - 11,208 - 16,121 - 357,000,000 2014: 319,113,000 - 11,008 - 15,872 - 392,000,000 A: Year B: Estimated US Population (USCB) C: Homicides by Firearm (CDC) D: Total Homicides (CDC) E: Estimated Number of Guns in the USA (ATF) Note: The attacks on the WTC was the primary factor for the spike in homicides in 2001.

Um, she's the same age as me. You may want to reconsider your wording. Nope.

Freedom of speech is at issue here but when you have a public figure and they hold court to a mass of people then they should practice some social responsibility. She is/was a representative of CNN and they have every right to terminate her ass when the court of public opinion is screaming loud and clear what it thinks of her twisted-ass stunt. "Well she apologized and it was heartfelt; her getting fired is a knee-jerk reaction and wrong." Bullshit! If someone held up a dummy head dripping with blood of your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, sister, brother, father, mother or close relative, I can imagine you wouldn't be so calm or understanding - I know I wouldn't. Kathy Griffin is an old dried up, obnoxious hag looking for attention. She knew damn well what she was doing before she went through with her stunt and it's working to a degree but it back-fired big time. And finally, the POTUS is fair game because it's been tradition by cartoonists, writers, media, etc. since the beginning of time but that bitch went too far.

A few rolls of duct tape should do it.

Because anything other than a white person doesn't fit within the agenda. If it's 100% Hispanic or some other race, people don't know which 'safe zone' room to go in to deal with their feelings.

Same response here; I don't have an AAD. Ohhh the horror!

$350 for peace of mind is cheap; but 3/8" on 40 packs is minimal. Bad grammar... very inappropriate.

I swear these threads are like Groundhog Day.

Yup, just like they did in Germany in the 30's. But still, rushmc will not believe it. Something about head in the sand or something; my memory is not so good anymore. Also, Hitler put a lot of thugs into top positions; hmmmmmm. Jerry Baumchen Good grief... you are a gigantic drama queen.

I wonder if this is the same media that was largely ignored by the entire Clinton campaign for more than 16 months leading up to the election.

Trump won because of the arrogance of the dumb shit liberal faction that kept them home on election day because a good majority of them didn't think it was necessary to vote because they thought that criminal bitch Clinton was a lock. That same arrogance led them to believe they were entitled to the presidency and didn't realize that they now have people they can't trust within their own party. So what do you get? A bunch of lib-tard-jack-ass-oxygen-thieves that are whining like a bunch of little bitches looking for their "safe zone" because they thought they were well on their way to ramping up their tax-funded programs for wall-to-wall socialism; strict gun control and free hand-outs for everyone and now they don't even get a participation trophy. SUCK IT!

There is also another issue with the morons taking polls. It's not just the 'white working class' but the 'uneducated white working class'. Have a friend who lives in a very nice house ($500k+) and was mowing his yard and one of the poll takers stopped and asked if he could ask a few questions. The person taking the poll assumed my friend was the "help" by mowing the yard and without asking, the pollster proceeded to check off the "White", "Single", "Uneducated" and "Blue Collar" boxes without confirming any of information. So he did what any normal person would do that felt slighted by seeing that - he totally filled the pollster with a bunch of misinformation. The other issue that my friend had with the pollster - they were Pro-Clinton and very Pro-Democrat and did not hide that fact. So, I can only imagine how many other people said, "screw you - I'm not telling your condescending ass anything that will be remotely truthful."

For those that own a Tonfly helmet, A) what are your thoughts on their helmets and B) is their sizing true to spec or are they on the small side? Looking at the Tonfly Performer. Thanks for the replies.

People who irrationally target LE probably don't objectively look at much of anything. I don't think surviving the attack is really a consideration. Maybe, maybe not. It's realistic to presume that those attackers were doing a "Death Run" (expecting to go down in a "Blaze of Glory" kinda thing). And most of them were killed by return fire at the time of the attack. The didn't even escape the scene of the initial attack. The one in Dallas, however, was a bit different. They had the suspect cornered. He had nowhere to go. They chose to send in a bomb carrying robot. Actually a fairly expensive remote control vehicle. And blew it up. They could have waited him out. Attempts to negotiate weren't successful, the suspect indicated he wanted to kill more cops. But they didn't even wait a couple hours (reports said shots were exchanged at 0030, the bomb was detonated at 0121). Historically, suspects in cop killings have a pretty high rate of dying while being arrested. Some of that is the irrationality of the suspects. But to think that the mentality of the cops isn't part of it is rather naive. Even suspects who attack cops without killing them suffer. (even if the suspect turns out to not have committed the assault). They don't take that sort of thing lightly. Down here the Dallas PD takes a little different approach with respect to idiots that want to do them harm. The guy that shot up the PD building was met with a 50 cal. Hopefully the new Chief of Police continues the policy of "you throw a rock, we throw a grenade" protocol. Negotiating is overrated.

No, Civil War II will not happen if HRC wins. Just like Obama, she will cause another round of conspiracy theorists to go out and buy up a lot of guns & ammo. She can say all she wants about guns but I will make a bet with anyone that she makes zero overtures about disarming the American public. My guess is she will take Homeland Security and turn it up a notch to work with the DOJ and federalize the policing structure. It would take a series of significant events for Civil War II to occur. No sitting U.S. President will do anything to disrupt the balance enough to cause that to happen. I don't see Civil War II happening in my lifetime. U.S. Presidents are compelled to take more subtle measures because of the structure of our government.

Chris Wallace, Fox News He's pretty good. Been around for a while and shouldn't be trying to make a name for himself. He might actually be a pretty good mod but who knows.

It depends... are they going to have a neutral moderator or a pro-Democrat moderator?

Only 90s and looking for more speed? Try dialing in 180s and 270s... that should satisfy your need for speed.

Perhaps a W/L of .76 is a good enough reason.

+1 I don't have any affiliation with PD, but since you mentioned the Sabre2, check this out for a demo: http://www.performancedesigns.com/sport-demos-europe/ Fixed it for you. http://www.performancedesigns.com/sport-demos-europe/

Wasn't that a movie? Just think what a few dozen Islamic extremists (or Trump supporters) with 747's could do in 24 hours . . . . Yep, from a movie but it's an interesting concept. I added the point system.
