Participant[quote=Huckleberry]Regarding more firearm laws…
Another failure of “gun-free zones”! The answer? More of the same of course! We have over 20000 gun control laws already on the books, and that’s just at the federal level. These incompetently-written laws of course fail miserably to reduce crime, but their failures are a feature, not a bug. They provide the rationalization for gun-haters to come back demanding more, every time.
If gun control laws reduce shootings, why are all the worst cesspools of violent crime located in cities and states that have had the most draconian anti-gun laws in the nation on the books for decades? …and how dare you demand that the rest of us share in the misery that gun-control proponents have conned those poor people into accepting!
Why are such a vast majority of mass killings perpetrated in these “gun-free zones” — schools, theaters, shopping malls, where the victims can do nothing but wait to be shot down like animals? It’s a simple question, but I’ve never witnessed an anti-gun person even attempt to answer it.
Did you hear about the mass shooting at the local gun show last weekend?
Yeah, neither did I.
Shame on you for supporting this demagoguery.[/quote]
ronald reagan was surrounded by armed secret service dudes in a non-gun-free zone and the armed dudes who presumably were well trained on red alert. and he got shot. and so did brady.
ParticipantThe odds of 80,000 people getting shot in the next year in the USA very high.
The odds of armed citizenry stopping a a few dozen people from getting shot next yr.
Very very low.

Participantmy landlord prior to purchase was super cool.
we gave him one years rent upfront when we moved in in 2006 for a discount. i figured he’d hold on to the place for at least a year. this was pre-crash, but i still had potential landlord defaults on my mind, even in 2006.
i was kinda early.
i think he gave us 15% off or so, which I figured was better than a 20% return on the 20 odd thousand I was giving him, tax-free. not bad, really…
we really started to seriously save for a house around then, sincei didn’t have to pay rent for a year, and we could really see our savings add up fast. became a habit. next thing we knew we had over 100k in the bank.
then when the year was up, he continued to rent to us at the discounted rate…
we were there 4 1/2 years and i paid early every month.
on the other hand, i didn’t complain about little things. IMO, i was a reasoable, cool tenant.
my wife occasionally wanted me to complain about smallish things but i never did.
he did necessary repairs, like a leaky gas burner, quick. he was a good calm dude.
ParticipantWhen you squat 300 you get a drink.
But look like last night I was hanging around w my kid doing 90 lb front squats with a small duffle g filled w 90 lbs sand in the living room. No way I’d have been doing that if I’d been drinking.
ParticipantDid the small lawyer make self deprecating jokes to try to endear himself to the jury?

Participantrent v own is a little wild right now. i actually could not comfortably afford to rent the place I live in, I think, if it were a rental….seriously…
