The article was definitely compelling and somewhat at odds with how the President is presenting the threat of ISIS and other interpretations of the Quran that espouse violence against apostates and dominion over unbelievers. ISIS is certainly trying to follow the letter of the Quran in it's...

Indeed, a space and time machine... that sounds much like a worm hole; Even going to the same place in the future would require traveling in space/time. Of course, the "machine" could only go forward in time, as far as we know. However, there has been speculation that anti-matter is actually...

There should be a paper trail of ownership with motor vehicles (http://www.dmv.org/title-transfers.php). The title has to be signed over and filed to document the exchange unless you are doing something "under the table." Not sure what state you live in where there isn't necessarily a paper...

Here's a Jim Jefferies video on gun control in America - Hilarious and rings (mostly) true to me (and I have many guns). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP3HJVp3n9c&sns=em

You are describing your initial post reactions Loren. You left out the strawman you employed of criminals removing serial numbers. Creating argument where there weren't any - Sheesh

Yeah, I'm reading about how hard (not impossible) it is to get rid of serial numbers. Thanks for the link ;) Then what is the advantage (to the seller) of a straw purchase if it's traceable back to the legal buyer? The buyer could claim it was stolen or lost and how could you prove him wrong...

It wouldn't be the criminals removing the serial numbers but rather the legal gun buyers who turn around and sell them to people who shouldn't have them. The criminals wouldn't give a rats ass if serial numbers were removed or not. I obviously wasn't talking about criminals in the paragraph...

In other words - comprehensive background checks do something about illegally owned guns IF there is hefty penalty for selling firearms to unlicensed individuals? Of course that "something" only occurs if straw purchase agents get caught in the act. After the serial numbers are filed off the...

In other words, comprehensive background checks do nothing about illegally owned firearms. Someone could pass a comprehensive background check and then turn around and sell their firearm to someone who couldn't get one - thus moving more guns into the illegal portion of gun ownership. We need...

Reducing the potential for straw purchasing and gun show exchanges for illegal uses is the aim - the gun control metric being the relative proportion of guns purchased legally that end up being used illegally. The "law-abiding citizen" part of this tired old comeback: "Gun laws only take guns...

That would be true if straw purchasing etc. was less of a problem - it could be worth it to get more guns out of circulation. I seriously doubt you know it wouldnt be.

This question seems much less important than how to grow the relative proportion of gun carriers who are responsible, law-abiding citizens (e.g., recycle/scrap confiscated guns, curtain illegal straw purchasing). As for the question, I'd say the administrator of a public property should have...

This blog post was inspired by my participation in a thread on subsequent domestic violence allegations against George Zimmerman. The case naturally came up again and the sides started reasserting themselves. The majority view seemed exasperated and incensed that "pro-Zimmerman" perspectives...

This probably won't be the last movie about the Iraq/Afghanistan war and I hope that all (such movies) will be considered in what America represents to the world. A movie about Garrett would be nice to see as part of the mosaic of selective experience from the conflict. Now here's something...

Hopefully nothing - if the film turns out to be any good.

Reckon that's one vote for no movie about a sniper with a different experience.

That depends on what Martin was thinking about Zimmerman, which has already been stated on this thread. Your mind-reading does not pass for facts.

This is a sorry excuse for respectable dialog. What a laughable attempt at making another strawman "arguing with myself" horseshit. Besides, I'm done putting folks on the ignore list - I said it was useless and I reckon you conveniently missed that. Why are you bringing that up Raven/Supermod...

That's a good one - but it's only spot on if you negate the possibility that Martin responded violently to being followed and verbally confronted. You don't seem to get any reservation for that possibility. Even if Zimmy attempted the bonehead detainment, there are things someone who is being...

Zimmy had a few minutes to think between hanging up the 911 call and meeting up with Martin. I believe it is very likely he was thinking about what to do when he found him.
