QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) You are forgetting the background check you need to purchase the gun. Form 4473 needs to be filled out and sent in to get your background check, even at Walmart and gun shows. The ONLY way you can get one legally without it is a private sale. You want to make an argument for that, you might have something. However as usual, every attempt at this so far have over-reached. In Seattle they tried to enact something like that but they worded it so broadly that a 'transfer' could be me handing you my new gun to check out or try a few shots while at the range. The current background check system is crap, and the forms are rarely enforced and sent in at gun shows. I've had a guy literally stand there and tell me it doesnt matter. The electronic auditing and records from these sales are an area where there is tons of room for improvement. private sales are something that for sure should be stopped or augmented. At the end of the day, the RIGHT people should be able to own and operate a gun for personal defense or sport AFTER they pass a check, instruction, and certification IMO.

QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) So, let's ignored the "well regulated" part of the second amendment. Desire to own gun >>> the actual second amendment The problem with the second amendment is that its outdated. The constitution is a living breathing document, and legislation HAS to change as technology changes. The founder never envisioned the Assault Weapons we have today. A hunting rifle per household? Absolutely.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) But they weren't 'illegal' when they were purchased, they just changed the law to make them illegal. You ban guns, now they are illegal. Go round em up! Last I heard you can't get a gun with a domestic violence conviction, but you can still drive. You can even drive with a DUI on your record. You also cant get a license without education, testing and certification. Buying a gun is as easy as walking into a walmart in some places, or even just a gun show. And if they make my shotgun or handgun illegal, I would be ok with a buy back, but not confiscation.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 10:33 AM) if you think that a registry won't lead to some sort of confiscation you are mistaken. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/19/c..._n_3117238.html The California state legislature passed a bill Thursday approving $24 million to expedite the confiscation of the estimated 40,000 handguns and assault weapons illegally owned by Californians. WHy wouldn't we want illegal guns confiscated? I want people owning guns who should own guns. It should be just as hard to get a gun than to get a driver's license if not harder. An electronic records system would be the absolute minimal action taken by the government.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 10:19 AM) My options were many plans from several different carriers, it was a free market. Once the carriers were forced to follow all of the rules of the ACA, the basically said f*** the individual plan health care user. Almost every company just decided to stop offering those plans. And the ones that still do, extremely limit what networks and plans they provide to those people. So do you not get a plan through a company, you get it directly from the insurance provider?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 09:28 AM) One person of color tries to make a bomb out of a shoe and EVERYONE has their shoes checked at the airport. Countless mass shooting after mass shooting and LITERALLY NOTHING offered other than thoughts and prayers. Extreme vetting, concrete barriers, increased TSA checks, taking off your shoes. More guns at Wal-mart.

I love how he said hundreds more would have been dead. What a moron.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 06:37 AM) I think this is the law nationally, and it's something pushed by the gun lobby. Tis correct. Also, my POV on Greg's opinions never fails. What radio station you gonna listen to today?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) Don't know what the spread is yet but knowing Kirk Ferentz, taking Wisconsin next week seems like just as easy of a cover. Iowa is going to Madison, totally different team, off a big game. Wisconsin heavy

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Using hotspot isn't fun for work. Yeah, mifi was taxed today like a MF

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) See, that's really f***ed up, but explains alot. Hate to bring up the medicinal mj again but card holders are part of an electronic system that's so advanced that their allowance is tracked digitally and are only allowed to purchase from the dispensary they signed up with. But they don't do this guns, hmmm. I think it's about more than just profits. A quick Google Search about ' population control 'can be quite revealing. Ted Turner/Henry Kissinger, I'm looking at you. Stupid people with guns killing each other helps curb the population and provides sadistic entertainment for assholes like them. By law, electronic records of the purchase and owner are deleted after 24 hours. Only paper locally remains.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 02:24 AM) I can believe that and further to you're point. I know people that have a medicinal mj card and a FOID card and they have said that getting the FOID card was relatively easy whereas getting their medicinal card was a major pain in the ass. Says alot about Illinois law makers. Il are some of the stricter as well, but yeah, getting my FOID card was easy as hell. Its all the other stuff. There is basically no electronic trail of any gun owner in the country. There is some paper, and thats it. Even the local laws are worthless considering the federal laws and gun lobby make sure all people have some chance to get a gun (profits!!!) The second amendment wasnt written to ensure every people carry a gun at all times, nor did they envision semi-automatic rifles. Those MF'ers had to tear open packets of powder for every shot.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 5, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) My 80 year young mother in law who can Skype with the best of them and isn't totally horrible with technology is looking for a cheap way to call family in Australia, England, and Dubai. I need it to be reasonably simple or cheap. Currently she Skypes all the time but wants the freedom to walk around the house and not be tethered to a computer. Google hangouts maybe?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) When I had to take my daughter to the hospital, I was no longer allowed to go to the top hospital near me that we used to attend, now forced to visit a s***tier hospital. I now only have one choice of insurance carrier because the ACA forced so many to go out of business. And this carrier is allowed to say I'm not profitable enough for them, so they shut me out of 75% of their network. You do realize that in order for you to suddenly have insurance, they had to take it away from someone else. Not sure why anyone would even want to open a small business anymore, given how screwed over you get on health insurance. And my mom has been diabetic in this country for 45 years and never once had a problem getting insurance. If the ACA didnt exist, what were your options?

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) Don’t go to Iowa in November. There goes Barrett’s Heisman shot? Beatdown may be an understatement. Yikes.

My work finally added the x to our portal. Space gray 256. 1149.99

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 07:27 AM) The fact that the ACA is still around is so disappointing. It has put my children's health at risk and now I'm faced with even worse come January 1. Id love details on that.

Well now that the Hillary “takeover” theory has been debunked. I’m guessing you’ll see the word Uranium on Fox all day

QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 11:03 PM) It's good for people that are rich. That's the GOP goal. Like really really rich though. Biggest benefit is if you've inherited over 5M. Why would we do that?

That tax plan is bad for anyone who isnt rich as well as the government overall. I dont get it.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 04:18 PM) That really f***ing sucks. He is so fun to watch and he looked like a superstar in the making. Just brutal. Awful, good dude and amazing player. Was becoming a star. The NFL is basically who can stay healthy, because injuries are just increasing.

She will be working at a Popeye's chicken by 2020

I hate people referring to stuffed pizza as "chicago style". If you want chicago style I can show you cracker crust, tavern style, pan, deep dish and finally stuffed. And I guarantee the stuffed will be your least favorite.

Its super shocking that the president shows a total lack of leadership.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) Growing up in the Chicago burbs, the only idea I've ever known was that the Civil War was over slavery. Guess it makes sense that other parts of the country think differently, but I would have never thought to think about it another way. They all just need to watch the channel 11 documentary and it will all make sense. Its on Netflix now.
