  1. The only real reason is that they are fun to shoot. And a few people can say they are great way to kill hogs. My son and I have rented them and even debated buying one but seemed like a lot of money for something to use for target practice and to shoot hogs at my buddies ranch. But just to be clear. People and the media need to stop saying that automatic weapons are legal. They are not unless you have a federal license. I stated above that if they do want to keep them legal then at least put them in the same category as fully auto and add all the barriers to ownership.
  2. The fact that you have to go back over half a century to find an example proves my point
  3. Because it's going to be hard to get any compromise from the gun nuts. Let them have those. Let's focus on the semis.
  4. I think you can very easily exempt shotguns and bolt action rifles IMO. No one is committing mass murder with an over and under or .270. Just anything semi-auto
  5. Yup. Hitting Twitter pretty hard this AM
  6. I sent this email to my house rep Chip Roy. But he's about as right as they get.so I assume my email will be largely ignored. Chip. I am a responsible firearm owner. I own shotguns, rifles, and handguns. I have a CHL and I keep my guns locked. I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. But more than anything I am parent with a 15 and 12 yr old in public school. We as a country and a state have to makes changes. The NRA does not represent me you do. I want universal background checks. I want the age to buy a firearm increased to 21 or even 25. A 5 day waiting periods on handguns and assault type rifles does not take away anyone's rights nor does it keep them from protecting their property or family. If it saves one persons life its worth the time. Thank you

    So in other words. Refs made incorrect calls for Arsenal and VAR had to correct their cheating biased ways. Such a stupid article
  8. Why is everyone harping on the background check? Correct me if I'm wrong but other than a person to person sale. Every firearm purchase at least in Texas has a background check right? What am I missing? Also can everyone please stop saying automatic weapons are legal. Other than having a fed license they are not legal. Im with you on this but I think the general days of privacy are pretty much gone. And what meds you take are a hack away from being made available to the public if they aren't already known. And I'm fine with getting rid of assault weapons or put them in the same category as full auto. You can get one but it's going require you really jump through some hoops. I'm also fine with a waiting period for some types of firearms.. I can't imagine anyone having to have a firearm within 5 days. It's not nor should it be an impulse buy.

    Made it into Ikoyi for anyone who is interested. $360 for the tasting menu with wine pairing. Worth every penny. The service was fantastic.
  10. So all these people who get delayed 8-12 hours are they not aware that there are hotels near pretty much every airport?

  12. I take personal responsibility in helping the transfer cash. ENIC must have seen how much I spent on beers and merch at the stadium and decided to open the wallet
  13. My understanding is that is in addition to what we might net from sales
  14. Tottenham trust releasing 150m for transfers which means ENIC is adding his own money for the first time.

    @kingkoopa6 Anything for a fellow surly asshole
  16. Lets throw out some title ideas and vote on 2-3. My contribution. We ride with the Italian Stallion or Arteta is a whiny bitch. First I assume we are selling most of the loans? Any young loanees ready for prime time? Parrott? Clarke? Tanganga? Twitter rumors are that Stevie is good as gone and someone mentioned Hojberg going as well. But maybe this was before we were going to fight on 4 fronts. Can't understand why Rodon gets zero play. He is a beast for Wales Wouldn't you put Skipp first over Hojberg assuming fitness? And I'd absolutely take the great Dane back. The moral with him in dressing room would be worth every penny not to mention shirt sales which Levy would love and most are saying Bale is coming back as well. Were getting the band back together boys
  17. I wouldn't consider Paesanos a chain in the general sense. Its a local spot with three locations.
  18. Going to be a very interesting transfer summer for Spurs. Now is the time. The stadium is built and full. Harry, Son, Hugo in their prime. Speaking of. Should we start a poll for naming for the 22/23 thread?
  19. This is why I make sure my kids know about the hypocrisy and out right crime in organized religion to counter their mom pushing religion on them

    Btw. No one talking about Mike Dean retiring? Love or hate him he is a bit of a legend
  21. Crime is up in every major city. SA has seemed to have a few more eye raising issues like Hnd etc but as a fairly large city I don't feel like it's bad.

    Are you surprised that a bunch of lifelong city fans attending their first match at the Etihad would act like that?
  23. Is it that much? I know its significant but I think the 100mil is the total if you win it all
  24. Holy fuck. We sent Ars packing while claiming UCL and Son gets the golden boot. Could it get any better today?
