If we're not worried about genre specifics I'll post this. Was my shit back in high school.

Reading comprehension is consistently a problem here. How does equal "armed guards do not provide safety from gun violence" in your head? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2483118.html Really? So are you consistently amazed when Best Buy's, Gamestop's, McDonald's, etc don't have the...

What are you talking about? Numerous public schools have armed guards or cops. You're free to live in one of those school districts. And you're free to pay to send your kid to a private school with armed guards. And you're free to pay to have a security detail follow your kids around. Now...

Here a link to the 23 executive actions: http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/20...lation_on.html

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I've never said anything remotely close to what you think I said. If people want to read 2A cases and discuss them then by all means, go for it. It seems like Soy has done some of that, going over Heller. Or if people want to read what the...

Yeah, you right. He's sort of Diet General Anthony.

That sounds like big government tyranny to me. It's damn near Sharia law. But seriously, I'm surprised you're a staunch defender of gun rights but also advocate mandatory ID's to be carried at all times in public.

That's normal for most laws. Also, on a reasonable reading of that statute, a stripper clip that contains more than seven rounds of ammunition is a large capacity ammunition feeding device because it is a device similar to a magazine and it contains more than seven founds of ammunition. I...

Oh, no. By example I meant link me language from that law that you find vague. But because I'm such a charitable interlocutor: Note the new law is an update to an older law. Caps are additions to the statute. Bracketed items will be removed from the statute. 8 or 9 shot revolvers do not...

The other definitions are similar. The next one reads: Maybe link some of the sections you find vague. My bad on "clip". I hope using that word instead of magazine did not make my point difficult to understand. As I said before, I haven't actually read Heller, but from what I've gathered...

Did you read the law? It was linked here. It seems pretty explicit (not vague) to me. Also, the mental health stuff in law was much greater than that which you addressed in your post. You may think it captures too many guns, but that doesn't mean it does so vaguely. For instance ---> And...

I expect parts of it will. Why do you think the background check and mental health parts of the law are unconstitutional? Did you mean the assault weapons (as defined by the law) portion won't stand? The clip regulation? Both? I'm not sure about the AW portion but I haven't read Heller...

I respect that.

They could be the dissenting votes but that doesn't mean they weren't involved in the process. Democracy works how it works. Here's a link for you to check your assumption. Unfortunately, it only lists names and the corresponding vote, not their districts...

Wait, are you confused? This is (going to be) a state law, not a city ordinance. People upstate were involved in the process.

States' rights. I love when I get to champion states' rights. I live in NY and I'm fine with the law (tentatively).

I wouldn't mess with bots outside of learning some of the more difficult heroes (Invoker, Meepo, anyone with micro really). Instead, read a few beginners guides to get to the point where you at least are aware of things like lane control, warding, runes, stacking and so on. Don't worry about...

I thought too much was packed into the episode, and it was more awkward than funny, but overall I liked it. I expect some set up. I loved the karaoke songs. Adam is still awesome and I'm glad to see Donald Glover, seemingly playing a black libertarian.

Lots of things are possible.

Just 44 people were charged with lying on background check forms in 2010, even though 80,000 would-be purchasers were denied gunsfor providing inaccurate information about their criminal histories.

It doesn't, but certainly not all instruments/tools are created equal. A person hell-bent on digging holes can dig holes faster, and larger, with a backhoe than with a spade.

I wasn't being hyperbolic. I couldn't tell from your post if that was the point you were making. It seemed to me you were arguing that 2A would protect any weapon ever created, but I see I misunderstood. It only protects any arm ever created, you argue. Yet, your definition of arms is rather...

Are you arguing that the 2A gives one the right to own fighter jets, ICBMS, etc? Or that the framers always agreed with one another?

Certainly. I even said as much. But, as your link points out, one reason Heller is a big deal is because the Court explicitly recognized an individual right to bear arms. And today, there is no question, there is an individual right to bear arms. Thanks for the link the Dave Kopel piece. He...

I don't think that's his position. I think his position was that 2A didn't apply to individual citiznes until Heller. I think that's mostly right. Without looking into it too much, before Heller, SCOTUS had never said (over a few hundred years) there was an individual right to bear arms...

Right on, like a here's the link for those interested. I got ya.

I genuinely don't understand you here. What cases do you mean? Heller or the previous ones? And what part of the statement do you think is "grey"? Additionally, I don't understand Eyashusa's point in linking the statement in response to that which he quoted. Heller and McDonald were close...

Fnatic's Notail plays Meepo in Defense tournie. VOD -->http://www.own3d.tv/DotA/video/952493

Are you under the impression that Heller and/or McDonald held that the 2nd amendment could not be amended? I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be, only that your sentence is in no way responsive to that which you quoted.

According to who? You? I expect many others feel differently, and I certainly do. Indeed, you seemed to be complaining about movies that were made with the intention, i.e. point, of winning Oscars (colloquially known as Oscar bait). I expect many of those were made to win awards and to...

Another school shooting today, at Taft Union High School in Taft, California, but luckily no deaths. Shooter brought a shot gun and got off two to four shots before being "talked down". One student is in critical but stable condition and a teacher was grazed with a pellet. The school employs...

Not at all. Does it cheapen winning the Super Bowl when a team was pretty much put together to win the Super Bowl?

Zero Dark Thirty has a greater than zero chance of winning. Note the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review already awarded it their best picture prizes.

Medusa on test.

Long.Live.A$AP is great from what I've heard (I haven't Dl'd the leak). 1 Train is what's up, I even like Yelawolf on that track, and Fuckin' Problems gets stuck in my head.

All the Real Girls - David Gordon Green's second movie, starring Paul Schneider (early Parks and Rec), Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride, and Nucky's Brother/The Sheriff. Recommended if you liked Blue Valentine.

Gotta say I'm confused by your previous post then; you listed a number of contemporary bands you enjoy.

I have a few invites to give away. Those interested should PM me with a Steam name or email.

Like Ham, I'm curious to know what sort of stuff you are into. "Good Music" today, as in critically acclaimed music, spans just about every genre. Also, how do you listen to music? Me, certain things I'll listen to in the car, certain things I'll listen to with headphones on, lights off and...
