Also: Congress is working on this issue.
That's good to hear. I was afraid the issue may otherwise be left to a group of incompetent, self-serving asshats.
It's a shame this is moderated 'Funny', becuase really, it should be moderated 'Insightful'...

People don't think anymore...I was amazed when I heard people saying they wanted GM to go bankrupt. So, wipe out millions of jobs, and kill the last domestic manufacturing capacity the country has.
I'm amazed people don't know what the difference is between a business shutting down and what a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy actually does...
Chapter 11 affords the debtor in possession a number of mechanisms to restructure its business. A debtor in possession can acquire financing and loans on favorable terms by giving new lenders first priority on the business's earnings. The court may also permit the debtor in possession to reject and cancel contracts. Debtors are also protected from other litigation against the business through the imposition of an automatic stay. While the automatic stay is in place, most litigation against the debtor is stayed, or put on hold, until it can be resolved in bankruptcy court, or resumed in its original venue. An example of proceedings that are not necessarily stayed automatically are family law proceedings against a spouse or parent. Further, creditors may file with the court seeking relief from the automatic stay.
By short circuiting the process, we likely prolonged the pain and the end result will less optimal. But hey, the community organizer said it was the way to go, so fsck the process.

You mean a collapsible/folding stock?
Pretty sure 'a shoulder thing that goes up' is not an industry term..
It's an arfcom meme...
A youtube search for that phrase will enlighten you.

But we must make sure to only ban assault model helicopters!
Those are the ones that look exactly like other model helicopters, except they have black synthetic bodies and a tac. rail, right?
And a shoulder thing that goes up.

Inexplicably? The 2nd amendment is the only amendment affecting the profitability of a single specific industry. There is money in gun sales... Not so much in the other amendments.
Obviously, no one sells books...
Just the other day I stopped in at my insurance agent's office and heard Limbaugh on their radio, ranting about the possibility that Trayvon Martin might have been gay and tried to sexually assault Zimmerman.
You misheard. Apparently, Limbaugh was claiming the possibility that martin was a gay basher, not gay himself. I am not justifying those comments, but if you are going to call out someone for being an idiot, it helps to call them out for the right reason.

Manning stood in front of a military tribunal without a jury of his peers.
Not quite. There was a single Judge - Colonel Denise Lind, chief judge, U.S. Army Trial Judiciary, 1st Judicial Circuit. Apparently, Manning chose a non-jury trial.

Spanish engineers, who already spent some $680 million on designing the new generation S-80 class submarine, say it is a major “technical innovation.” There is just one problem the calculations show – if submerged into water, it may never come up again.
Apparently, 100 tons of excess mass do matter... if you want your submarine to have the ability to re-surface.
The criminal does not want theirr kids. He wants money, gold, jewels or other valuables. And he wnats to be the heck out again before the police arrives. You lack to understand that the gun problem in the USA is just a story of self fullfilling provecies. If you had no gun, the burglar had none either. He is trying to protect himself from YOU. And simple burglars usually have no guns anyway. Having a gun gives you 5 years in jail, a burglar attempt 3 or 4. There is no point in having one (speaking about my country).
Are you sure he doesn't want the kids, or to rape the wife? To what degree of certainty? What if he isn't a simple burglar? If he's broken into my house, he has no play, no benefit of the doubt.
If he really wants to protect himself from me: Don't break into my house.

Threatening with a gun is a sure way to turn a tense situation into a deadly one, and in any fight, the odds are with the professional. So your relative probably scared a teenage burglar away, when a guard dog or a proper lock on the door would have done the same thing. Or even a yell of "hey you get out of here." Unless you are guarding the crown jewels, that gun is only one accident away from taking someone's life for no purpose.
Complete and utter bullshit. The criminal created the deadly situation when he chose to break into my house. The rest of your post is transference tripe - scared that someone 'might be an accident'. You want to be a victim? Fine, go cower someplace else. Don't for a second think I'll allow you to legislate me into being a victim.
And for some, the crown jewels are their kids.

That would be true if bits had anything to do with dynamic range. I can make a 4 bit gif that has 100 stops of dynamic range or a 32 bit EXR that has 5 stops of dynamic range.
There are plenty of 8bit images online that have 13 stops of dynamic range.
