    At this point, the left has to pile up the points before they can pass legislation.. Granted, it is because they have conceded the field to the NRA, but they have to get the points in. Just closing the private sales/gun show loopholes in background checks is a huge accomplishment for gun control.. Heck, getting safe storage laws is hard..

    Oh, I imagine the Fox news report on it will include a graphic that says "Governor Rick Scott (D, Florida.)" I mean, no sense in wasting a good opportunity like this is there?

    I hear some of the videos occasionally featured guns.

    I went to HS with a McCoy who claimed to be related to the, uh, real McCoys. One of the few girls who'd rollerskate in the bowl.

    I went to grad school at LSU with a Hatfield from WV who actually was related. Nice guy. Never once saw him bust some birdshot in someone's ass, though.

    Is that like "Hiking the Appalachian Trail?" We called it "submarine races" in my day...

    Never heard of that.... Is that anything like "changing the oil in your car," or is it more like "grocery shopping?"

    Lots of gun links and studies in that article, very good sourcing IMO.

    Some good ones.

    Any slang past "sparking" leaves me out. Not that we needed to know more words than that back in the day, it's not as if anything much ever happened in high school.

    No, no... it's just what I said. She was/is a rollerskater, as opposed to a skate(boarde)r. But she skated bowls and ditches like the rest of us. AFAIK, she was the only girl in the area who did. I was incredibly clumsy on skates, and gave it up pretty quickly for 'boarding.

    It's hard for me to read the two "gun" threads any more.
    It's just a normal way of American life.
