but this is just plain weird.

The funny part is that is not far from what my first computer was, except what you describe was 3-4 steps up.  Although i was never ignorant enough to have an AOHell account. :)

By the logic of you and the rest of the gun perverts, only a drug addict could write drug policy.

How a firearm LOOKS is not what makes it an assault weapon.  One of the defining characteristics of an assault weapon is that it is capable of fully automatic fire.  None of the weapons used in the school shooting in question were.

Actually you have several times proven that you are the one who is ignorant when it comes to firearms.  I see that you are ignorant when it comes to the disease of addiction as well.  However I don't recall ever saying who should and should not write any policy.  Lastly, the level of knowledge I have on any given subject has precious little to do with who I am as a person.  I feel sorry for you seeing that you base your value on such shallow surface things.

If you saw his unbelievably incompetent "web services" company website, you'd realize that all this is totally beyond him. "Windows? Mudem? Whut do you think ah am, a million-dollar-haver'n' shit?"

The hosting service I run may be the biggest POS ever, but it keeps me from having to have the gummint pay me to sit on my ass and do nothing (like the lazy people do).  In fact, I would make MORE money by collecting a gummint check and doing nothing, but I'd rather pull my own weight and pay my own way (unlike the lazy people).  Thanks for playing!

I am speaking of the LEGAL definition of an assault weapon.  Oh wait, just cause it is on the internet it has to be true, I forgot!

I think the most astonishing thing I found out from ratbastard is that FireHouse still exists and they are touring.

a not so random thought

I don't understand the need for people on this forum to always feel like they need to get the last word in or constantly shout others down.

where is this "legal" definition you speak of?  in your head?

i quoted the justice dept of CT (first state that came up in my search, plenty others available)… sounds pretty legal to me.  ZING.

Bunch of dudes.  I ran a forum with 95 percent women on it and had problems with maybe two people arguing the two years I ran it.  We need more chicks.

I stand corrected, seems that with multiple other criteria a semi automatic weapon could qualify.  However the fact that a weapon is semiautomatic alone dos not qualify as an assault weapon.  Niether does a firearm 'looking scary'.

Has anyone ever seen the band Jakalope live?  They are from Canuckia.  http://jakalope.ca/

I want to fly on one of these!

Usually, I always want a window seat but this would make me enjoy an aisle seat. Must be tough on the crew though since they'd have to do a lot of extra cleaning between flights or it would defeat the purpose. Wonder what the scratch resistance of these floors are like? Hope it's much better than my damn "scratch resistant" glasses!

Kevin Ware's injury last night, worst thing I've ever seen on live TV. Christ!

Yeah, my stomach turned.  I watch a lot of sports and I've seen a lot of bad breaks, especially a soccer tackle or two.  That one is near the top.

It was bad.  Looked a WHOLE lot like my arm when it got broken in four places while playing hockey.  Only difference is that my fracture was not compound.  You know something is wrong when your elbow is touching your right shoulder!
