• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The term "gun nut" reflects negatively on the person using it. Shows their true feelings and agenda.

These mutts come in all ages and sizes: I'd rather look for a solution that will encompass more of them.
You can join the Military at 18: should that age be raised to 21 also?

This problem will absolutely not be solved easily. I have no doubt that it will require a multifaceted approach, that will piss off a whole lot of folks.
Here's the start of my list of issues:
1. Get rid of HIPPA regulations. Everybody's medical records seem to be sacrosanct. Nobody can tell anybody anything about you: even if you're suicidal, homicidal, or worse...
2. Video games need to be brought under strict control. The youth of today have been inoculated against the true consequences of violence. They can shoot, tab, stomp, and blow up countless other folks every day on these things. Life has no value to them anymore.
3. How about making two-parent households a bit more popular again? It takes two of them to juggle an adolescent into a semblance of maturity: one can't do it alone.
4. Let's force the background checks to do their job. If somebody "falls through the cracks": let the idiot that dropped them pay for the horrors that are committed.
5. There are well over 20,000 firearms laws on the books right now. How about actually enforcing them??
6. Let's make incarceration not so much fun anymore?

Who else adds something to add to the list?
I'd love to hear anything that might work!

Chronological age is a purely arbitrary measure of adulthood. Unfortunately it's the only one we've got. But, let's not bring that measure into the gun debate.
 
If you want to maintain an audience for a civil discussion you can't hit below the belt and expect it to go well. (This was not directed at one person)
 
OH.. I have a good idea... ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ..... Why doesn't the U.S. outlaw.... murder.... rape... armed robbery... selling cocaine & heroin ??? you get the picture?

I never brought that one up... :thumbup:
Besides: I'm the most guilty person in here, of NEVER growing up! :yes::clap::ohyea:
 
Recent news reports (which I tend to believe) say the armed deputy assigned to the school in Floriday never went inside to confront the shooter. What does that say about the proposals to arm teachers as a solution to the school shooter problem?
 
Well we can at least say that the teachers would be in the schools! I am amazed that this deputy who had this cushy assignment for 9 years, and the ONE time he is needed, to do what he is there to do, he chickens out, and let's more and more people die! Hey, but he is alive to tell the story!:lecturef_smilie:

So we agree cheap shots are not necessary, thanks. I shouldn't have a "target" on me due to an opinion.

I agree... This nit-wit allowed the situation to get far worse.
He is no longer on the Police Force.
Personally: I think that his inaction should allow him to be charge as a co-conspirator. nojoke
 
I hope you realize that you're trying to start something with the guy whose the most on your side... :D
It's not about us and our feelings: it's about a really serious issue that could cost us a whole bunch of our rights. nojoke

Whoaa Bob. Aren't you jumping to conclusions here? And, denigrating the poster's motives and opinions? Is that necessary? I'm disappointed in this post quite frankly; I hold you in high regard most of the time because even though I may not agree with you I still respect the way you diplomatically state your case. I hope you will reconsider your words.

Wow Bob, I have to agree with Pete on all counts, I respect you and your opinions, even though I may disagree with them. I believe that when we meet we will become good friends, in fact I count you as a friend now! So let's all agree to disagree, and respect each other, and our diversity of opinions. That diversity, when channeled effectively, leads to positive discourse, and resolution of issues! As for the "hatred" laid down by Mac, that has no place anywhere except in the dark recesses of his "mind" and heart?...:lecturef_smilie:
