I'll bet you I could hit a target if I had a gun with 30 rounds of
auto-fire. . . even if the target was moving.

He is a smooth talker. I will give him that. He just enacted a
ridiculous gun control regulation that bans a class of firearm basically
because they look nasty. There has never been a problem with "assault
rifles" in Canada, but he and his fellow Liberals have an issue with
them because of an incident that happened more than 30 years ago.
Firearms can only be legally owned by people who are licensed. We had a
mass shooting last year that involved a person who illegally acquired a
rifle, shot a cop, stole her hand gun and then killed a bunch more
people. We have young gang members running around shooting each other
on a weekly basis, all with illegal handguns, usually smuggled into the
country, but they keep coming up with excuses fro violent crime by
marginalized youth.
 
 
The same guy fired his Attorney General because she refused to pressure
an independent prosecutor to allow a DPA for a company that was being
prosecuted on corruption charges. She told him quite clearly that it is
improper to allow a DPA in that case, that it was improper for her to
pressure the independent prosecutor and improper for him to pressure
her. So he fired her. When she went public and there was so much proof
he could no longer deny it he finally admitted that he had done wrong
and said that he took full responsibility which, in his mind, appears to
mean he can no longer deny it so he will fess up but not face consequences.

You hate Trump but I feel that Pence is even scarier.
We might agree on that one.

lol Very true. Even a bad aim with a burst of 30 rounds
is hard to miss a target.
 
I wouldn't mind carrying an auto with a clip while hiking
in bear country though. See an angry bear charging and
you would wish you had all ammo and the kitchen sink.

They are not weapons you would use for hunting or defending your home,
but rather military type weapons, made to kill many and quickly.
That's what the shooter in Las Vegas used.
 
Weapons of war. I agree that I think men who want to own them are
really covering up their own physical inadequacies, something like old
bald men driving Maserati's.

Better yet, she could try to post some statistics to see if they have
ever been a problem in Canada, especially if any incident involved
legally acquired firearms in the hands of licensed owners. Licensed
owners have never been much of a factor in gun crimes here. The problem
with firearms violence is in the realm of criminals using illegal arms.

Church??? Is that another one of the characteristics I am supposed to
share with all the other legally licensed and law abiding gun owners
here. You are even stupider that I thought. It's funny to see you
trying to belittle my sexuality, considering that between your looks and
you personality you couldn't get fucked on a Saturday night in a bar
full of drunken seamen.

It is like this...
If I make some pesto I can put anything from matchsticks to
watermelon and it will still be pesto. When I cut up a potato and fry
it in fat or oil then it is called hash browns, I can add those same
match sticks and watermelon and it is still hash browns.
It does get confusing when you put pesto on hashbrowns because
depending on what country and area of that country you are from, what
season it is and what time zone your are in along with where orion is
in the sky then it could be called either pesto or hashbrowns. Now if
you are in the southern hemisphere and the southern cross is in the
sky then it is called a hash brown pesto unless it is tuesday then it
is called a pesto hash brown. Dems da rules. I did not make the rules
I just enforce the rules. I am for all intents and purposes the
hasbrown and pesto police (unless of course it is tuesday)

That's funny, Dave. For me, eggs are one thing that can only
handle so much black pepper. A little too much can ruin eggs.
 
It's only potatoes that can take it all for me. No matter what
kind of potato. Baked, fries, hash browns. Only potato dishes.

We have a plate like that. Just one. Beats me where it come from. It's totally retro, which is kind of cool. My daughter has a way with clay and made a totally awesome plate. I think that perhaps we shouldn't be eating off of it.

My mother has Corelle. I never saw the attraction.
 
I have these:

Not those exact pieces.
 
Been using them for about 30 years. They don't look markedly different
from the day I got them, and I think I've only broken one or two--and
I _am_ pretty clumsy in the kitchen.

My streaming comes free as part of my Prime membership (which is
totally worth it to me in dollars and cents)
What got to me about the helicopter was that it was 'open cab?' The
top half of the compartment was removed? What for? So you could get
wind blown and cold, absorb all the crop dusting poisons?
The first movie that I was allowed to go to without my mother was
"The Thing." However she had been taking me to sci-fi movies every
Friday night for as long as I could remember. (Friday night was dad's
bowling night) Good memories.

I really don't like meals where every flavor is melded together and

I didn't put them down. You must be thinking of Sheldon. I merely

I agree. Just not for me.
