ANY sales of weapons should require a license and should only be for personal use. Non-compliance is an automatic felony. This. Plus I'd propose extremely high sales tax on both weapons and ammo. Dealers should be responsible for selling to criminals. Tracking back a weapon used in a crime from someone with a criminal record should give the associated gun dealer a felony and a minimum of 5 years plus their business license taken away permanently. Right now the tracking of guns from manufacturer to end consumer is ridiculously awful.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 01:09 PM) he has a point. we have "no fly" lists for people that match a terrorist profile. we need to have a similar program to combat these left wing extremists that keep going on these mass shootings. Please go flush your head in a toilet as you add no value to any discussion ever. Your act is as old as Bea Arthur's schlong.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 12:32 AM) I was listening to Huckabee tonight on O'Reilly. Say what you want about him, he made a couple interesting points. One was that you can't stop these kind of things. As he stayed it it is an issue of the heart. His claim was that people who are evil and want to do horrific things will do them. Now admittedly this 20 year old punk killer had it easy since apparently his mom owned the guns. Another question I want to ask the good people of Sox talk. We have our disagreements about Ozzie, but I respect many many people on here and want your opinion. This killer was 20 years old, raised in the current public school system. My question to you is: Is the fact all mention of God has been removed from society, the fact kids today are raised that there is no God and God is a dirty word (you won't hear the word in public schools of course) and there is no accountability to a higher power, that the younger generation is being raised in an unhealthy way, a way that will lead to more of these situations? God-fearing people do not kill kindergartners for gosh sakes. Also, the way Johnny is raised today ... Johnny can do no wrong. Johnny is always right. Johnny gets equal playing time with all the other kids on his team; Johnny gets a trophy for finishing last. Is there something wrong with our society in the way we are raising our kids??? I know I didn't explain this well enough, maybe somebody can read what I am trying to say. Tell me ... what is going on today?? Why these mass killings? What is the fundamental issue? Did I get it right or not? I will tell you this, if this continues??? In 20 years we will be waiting 90 minutes to get into a church; 90 minutes to get into a movie theatre, 90 minutes to enter a hospital, it'll take 5 hours to get on a plane by the time you arrive at the airport; 90 minutes to get into the doors of a sports event. There will be so much security it will make your head spin. I'm sick over this. Yes I had tears stream down my face today. When I thought about the scene in the classroom as the punk reloaded his gun, the terror on the kids who had yet to be killed. The pain thinking about the parents of those kids!!!! I'm so sad and pissed and sick over this. Yes Greg. Had this kid gone to a Catholic school, God would have magically cured him of his mental illness and none of this would have happened. Seriously dude, my vision of you is a 73 year old man who never got past 6th grade and worked on a farm for 54 years of his life. You are so ignorant it's astounding.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) 26 people, still on the floor of their school, slowly getting cold, waiting to be transported to the morgue. Nice thread y'all. With the number of murders by gunfire that occurs on a daily basis in this country it looks like we'll need to stay silent indefinitely in order to mourn. The NRA and Congress is happy to hear your viewpoint.

I say hell yes.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 07:32 AM) Yes, my "sophisticated" search algorithm is called reading this thread, which is mostly attempt after attempt to bash anything Apple, with little to no objectivity. I've stated it multiple times...and I'll state it again...unfairly bash Microsoft or Google, or practically any other tech company, and I'll be just as quick to defend them against uninformed posts, too. Technology is actually a passion of mine, thus my long winded posts. You're just mad that I was right when I said Google would release their own maps application on iOS, and end up having to give Apple everything it requested for it's map application, only free, including turn by turn, etc. You asked me in this very thread...are you sure about that? I was sure. And the icing on the cake is Google admitted it's iOS maps app is even better than their own Android app. Take that, jolly green giant. Once again you get so defensive in your replies. I didn't even criticize anything about Apple in my previous post yet you always need to go off on these pro Apple, anti everything else rants in response. You are the the ultimate fanboy trying to convince us otherwise and you've proven it over and over again.

Holy crap Y2HH. Either you're a paid PR person for Apple or you have some sophisticated search program that finds any miniscule criticism of Apple which triggers you to respond in lengthy detail each time.

I didn't realize that was even them. I thought they were doing a Walking Dead plug during that time slot.

Tells you how confident people are with Apple's version of maps. Google Maps the #1 free app in iTunes after one day

After 16 reviews, Django Unchained at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

And it's funny that no one ever mentions Atlanta. I don't care how good their record is, they never seem like a serious threat.

Seattle is awesome at home but they'll have to play on the road at some point in the post season, if they make it.

Does anyone have any confidence in who will make the Super Bowl? I have no clue. Today I'll say Pats vs 49ers but my picks change weekly.
