    I'm sure you did, as based on your arguing style, you probably get it quite a bit. There's only so long you can argue with someone who makes no sense.

    What about guns that can do it at a quarter of the price? Like idk.... a 12G with OO buckshot?

    Yeah no, you can try all you want, but eventually the people will decide to just kill you and those who believe like you and move along with our country.

    Then you'll understand why I didn't reply to your last post. But seeing as you've got off to a bad start let me clue you in to something called "logic". When you've read this and you still do not agree then we won't need to continue this dialogue. It works like this:

    1). Acknowledge a problem. GUN VIOLENCE.
    2). Determine whether it is acceptable. OBVIOUSLY NOT.
    3). Find the "end all" and obvious solution. NO MORE GUNS.
    4). Is the removal of all guns possible/feasible? THAT'S THE QUESTION WE ALL WANT to be ANSWERED.
    5). If yes, when and how to begin. ALL AT ONCE/SYSTEMATICALLY.
    6a). If not what is an alternative/compromise? REMOVE SOME GUNS/CONTROL WHO MAY OWN THEM AND WHO NOT/MORE GUNS.
    6b). Will any of the suggested compromises eliminate the problem in point 1? If not, then revisit point 2.

    This is the way sensible and responsible people go about problem-solving. But if this is too difficult for some I can understand that their only response is "you make no sense". After all, 'sense' is defined by what the listener can 'grasp'. You can go either way:

    Better yet, I don't mind warm Beer, I did learn an important fact, I was chilling My Beer and making it too cold and loosing flavor, I found too cold was worse than not quite by accident, and had a 70 degree Beer and I found it very flavorful.
    Unopened, stale beer at any temperature is ghastly.
    I prefer bottles to cans, note, I have never seen beer in plastic bottles, I wonder why that is ?
    Has anyone had beer on a commercial flight
    recently ???

    All depends on the situation and the particular beer. Here in Florida, on a hot day, there is almost nothing better than a icy Bud Light draft. I agree with bottles better than cans, except for practical reasons (i.e. when in a place where there is a likelihood of breaking the bottles). Per a quick google, the reason we don't drink beer out of plastic bottles is that plastic bottles are good at keeping CO2 in, but aren't so good at keeping out oxygen.

    One of my clients owns a gun store and range. Dick's just gave him a huge ol' grin. Every time the left starts talking about banning weapons or confiscation, sales go off the charts. There will never be a better gun salesman again like the great gun supplier Obama.

    When I first heard their announcement, my reaction was, so what? Who would buy from them anyway; they are over priced, lack knowledgeable staff, and not where I would have first timers go for advice and I can think of many better options, no only regarding guns but with nearly any other sport related gear.

    You are ignoring some very important points.

    The huge Drug trade involving illegal Drugs, both harmful and prescribed by a Physician.
    So penalize EVERYONE for those illegally manufacturing Methamphetamines, and make over the counter cold remedies hard to obtain for everyone.

    There is No Gun Violence, only VIOLENCE in general, since most of the time people are killed by a myraid of non gun methods, and people were murdered long before guns existed.

    Responsible problem solving would admit the deficiencies of one dimensional analysis.

    Grasp ? Any issues decided on by Politicians reasoning is bound to fail.

    Prosecute criminals, restrictions on law abiding citizens does not prevent or reduce crime, or Drug addictions.

    Well, the Drug Carels do their own enforcement and it extends to the population. But I was thinking more like Russia, China, and North Korea.
