I agree with some of the financial stuff the tea party goes on and on about.
However, I have no interest is being affiliated with a bunch of holy rolling who don't own a piece of clothing without the American flag embroidered on it.
I saw her at an airport in Orlando in the late 90's, at the height of her whole wrestling thing. She was actually a lot shorter than I expected her to be. There was a small crowd following her around. I thought she was going to be like 6'4 or something, but she was actually shorter than me.
I remember when MTV played music, and I remember when they started moving into a teeny-bopper reality show format. They started falling apart in the mid to late 1990's. That's when they still played music a few hours a day, but it was almost all bullshit, rap, pop-dance music, etcetera. I don't think I watched it much past 1996-1997ish.
I know a couple of guys in these situations who weren't even told they were the father until the kids were almost grown, like 16 years old. One other guy I know didn't meet his son until he was 20, at no fault of his own. By that time, it's damn near impossible to really have any bond with the kid.
Nickelback is not "overrated." They're pretty widely hated by anyone with half a fucking shred of musical dignity. They'd be overrated if they actually got critical praise. They don't.
The only people who think Nickelback's brand of shit-pop-rock is good is the type of dumbfucks who hang around low rent pool halls and college kids.
Chloe Sevigny: No, not at all but I was a little scared about the sex scene. And you know maybe it wasn’t the smartest thing to do in hindsight but at the time Vincent was so passionate about the movie and the way he explained it to me it all made perfect sense within the context of that film.
Kosher salt isn't the same as regular salt. Completely different texture. It's not just the heeb ritual. Pretty much any table salt you buy is kosher, anyway. You buy kosher for the difference in texture.
Criminals have sources for this shit. There are tens of millions of guns out there. A lot of gangbangers steal them.
That's one that differentiates America from countless other gun-owning countries out there. There are millions and millions of houses out there with guns in them. You can, on paper, ban anything you want. The guns are still gonna be there. The guns aren't on paper. There are only limited records on who owns what. As I said earlier, guns are not registered in the majority of states and areas.
Let's say handguns are magically banned tomorrow at the federal level, and you've got to turn in your handguns, or you'll be arrested. There are, literally, tens of millions of handguns floating around the United States, and the government has no idea who has them, save but for maybe a couple hundred thousand in select areas where they're actually registered.
Even in those areas where they're registered, there are still likely hundreds of thousands of legacy guns that no one bothered to register when it became law.
Are criminals going to turn in their handguns when they're banned? No.
Laws don't stop criminals from doing illegal things. You can ship a gun straight to someone's house, if you're so inclined to do so. It's a federal crime. Getting caught will guarantee you prison time. It's not as if FedEX and UPS, or even USPS, xrays every package they send to check for guns, and making sure they're only being sent to legitimate people.
A gun store is not going to do this. If you buy a pistol out of state, the store must ship it to a gun store in your own state. If the gun is illegal in that state, the gun shop in said state will reject it and send it back from whence it came.
Now, let's say again, that you live in California. You can't buy certain kinds of rifles in California. There's nothing to stop you from driving or flying to Nevada, buying a California illegal gun, and shipping it straight back to your own house, or, simply just driving it back. Again, doing so is a federal crime.
IF it gets shipped back to your state, you're subject to the exact same laws of your state. You cannot, for instance, fly out of California and into Nevada, buy a California illegal gun, and have it shipped back to California. It's simply not allowed.
Jared bought his gun at a sporting goods store. He bought the ammo at Wal Mart.
The Wal Marts that sell guns use the same FBI background check as a real gun store does, by the way.
Sure, but we're already doing it. Hunters have to take hunting courses to get a hunting license. People who buy any guns are proven not to have a criminal record by an FBI check.
You could just as easily force first time gun buyers into a safety course, but it's still not stopping them from going through the motions just to get the gun to kill someone.
There's really no foolproof way to prevent mentally unstable people from buying guns anywhere.
The point of all this being, you're as ignorant of American culture as you and other Europeans claim Americans are ignorant of European history and culture.
You buy into rhetoric and believe everything anti-American that you read.
Edit:
Also, all American FFL's (that's licensed gun dealers) do the exact same federal check, regardless of state. There is an FBI background check called in that confirms you have no criminal history. That's the extent of it. How to improve that to include mentally ill people with no history of crime, I have no idea.
