I actually could have kept it under the new laws but the registration fees went from steep to extortionate, so I handed it in. I rarely hunted by then anyway. Definitely not an assault rifle by any means, I had to manually reload every shot - no magazine.

Trump will certainly be impeached, but unless Congress grows a pair (or a brain), it won't work. Trump could knife Pelosi on live TV, his yes-men in the Senate still won't convict. Still, enough dirty laundry will be aired during the trial, all of it will be made public and hopefully that will be enough for the electorate to show some actual intelligence next November. As soon as Trump is a private citizen again, he's jailed. less

One of your kids picks it up, thinks it's a toy, shoots one of your other kids (this happens EVERY DAY in the US).2. If you keep it locked up, IT'S NO F**KING PROTECTION! By the time you open the safe, your throat is cut.Thirdly, Jim was himself the victim of a housebreak - burglars came in, threatened to rape his gf etc. "Well, if you had a gun, you could have protected yourself!""I was NAKED at the time. Wasn't wearing my holster." In what kind of world do you have to be constantly ready, jumping at shadows?I actually owned a hunting rifle once. A little .22, useless as an anti-personnel weapon due to its small calibre and low muzzle velocity. You don't need a howitzer to drop game. Nor do you need a high-cap magazine. Military style weapons belong in the hands of the military. less

With Trump, "his name is Legion" and he's not behaving like an innocent man either. His behaviour indicates that he knows that he has done something impeachable, so he's setting up a pattern of filibustering so that if someone asks him for a document that contains a "gotcha", it won't seem weird if he refuses that too. As you pointed out, he's his own worst enemy. Unfathomably, the "conservative" party nominated a blowhard who is anything but conservative. Jeb probably would have made a reasonable POTUS, but he's handicapped by the surname "Bush" - his brother presided over a rudderless economy that fell into the biggest Depression since the Great one, so the electorate won't risk another Bush. less

The previous owner had modified it - being left-handed, he'd relocated the fuel reserve tank switch to the other side of the cockpit, and wedged it so the cock needed a wrench to turn it. Denver was right-handed and didn't have a wrench with him. He died still wrestling with the switch.

If, as he constantly blusters, he has nothing to hide, why is he so assiduously trying to hide it? Filibustering? Evidently he knows that there is something impeachable in his dealings, so he is establishing a pattern of obstruct, obstruct, obstruct so if somebody asks him for something that could result in a "gotcha", it won't seem weird if he refuses that too.

He has spoken openly against Trump and many other conservatives over immigration and Common Core, as well as publicly decrying "an orthodoxy that doesn't allow for disagreement". Lindsey Graham is a veteran, although not a combatant as he was never deployed to an active zone. He also refused to endorse Trump (having first backed Bush3, then Kasich). Still serving as Senator from South Carolina. Although I despise Cruz, he's no chicken - just stump dumb. less
