So you're saying that restrictions on "automatic weapons" worked. And only rich people can afford them. Great let's put similar restricts on semi automatic weapons or magazine size. That should reduce crime even more

Possibly filed under "the more things change....

If Joe Biden were giving this rambling speech, itd be treated as a four alarm fire in every newsroom in the country about his very obvious physical and mental decline. But because its Trump, they'll all mostly just shrug and move past it.

I like 2, anything to avoid the turnpike. We also try to avoid Columbus on our way south, depending on the destination. As I've said for 20 plus years now, the Michigan to SW or even our current location in Virginia wouldn't be so bad if Ohio wasn't in the way.

I don't know Wallace would have probably been smarter. Now Lester Maddox is another story.

Pre-pandemic and when I lived in Michigan I would take my then pup to Lyon Oaks for the dog park several mornings during the week. There would be about a half dozen or so of us. Retired, or near retirement age. We'd about an hour or so just walking the perimeter of the park discussing the days events or whatever. It was cool, a chance to socialize, get a bit of exercise, the dogs got some extra socialization out of it. I used to describe it as like the old guys at McDonalds

Happy for you. No wonder by oysters taste funny

Guess who's paying for the increased cost

Most Americans cannot comprehend the size of the Great Lakes. Each individual lake dwarfs the Chesapeake Bay. The Great Lakes collectively holds 3 times the amount of water than the Bay, for example

I think one could be both pro second amendment and be willing to support guardrails. After all it says well regulated militia. One can support guns and regulations. We also have regulations on the operation of automobiles without banning them. Prove me wrong

To most of us here gun control does not equal gun a ban. You keep harping on cars. Nobody wants to ban cars, and I would guess that 99% of those on this board are not in favor of banning firearms. And I would guess nearly 90% or more of the general population feels the same way. If you want to drive you need a license and if you get caught there is a price to pay. The same with traffic laws. If you own a car, most states require some sort of licensing and registration. Not to mention vehicle inspections and so on. Why do you oppose the same for firearms. If you want to own a gun you need to pass a stringent test showing 1) you are familiar with the rules and regulations, 2) you are competent enough to use the tool properly. Members of the armed forces, police forces require such training so why just pass out guns to every Tom, **** and Archie? That's all most of us are talking about RESPONSIBILITY. You're not handing your car keys to a 12 year old or to your 80 something relative who may not be competent any more to drive. So why allow that 12 year old or any relative who shows signs of mental distress to handle a weapon. All most of us want here is some accountability. And common sense. That said there are too many assholes on the road who ignore speed limits and other auto safety issues who don't deserve to get behind the wheel. I'm all for taking both their guns and vehicles away from them.

Not sure. The big white building there looks like the old Wrigley Building. Which would put it near Michigan and Wacker. It’s been way too long since I’ve been in that area. My first job in Chicago was on the other side of the bridge. The office was a closet in what we called the Paul Harvey building

Williams caught one!
