Just to present the other side of the coin, here's something written by a US Marine Iraq vet and hunter who favours gun control: http://www.salon.com/2012/12/28/iraq_vet_newtown_changed_my_mind_on_gun_control/

I used to work retail when I was in high school. Other than a few door crasher deals offered in limited quantities to attract shoppers to your door, the boxing week blow out deals are really no different from the deals leading up to Christmas. In some cases, the prices were actually more...

Not your typical all season tire. These fit into the "all weather" category. More of a marketing term from the manufacturers to help consumers differentiate between normal all seasons. Nokian markets this tire as part of their "all weather plus" line. All weather tires compose of all season...

Part of this debate is talk around banning high capacity magazines. In the 2011 Tucson shooting, the shooter was clubbed and tackled by bystanders when he had to reload.

Sorry typo, should have read "I don't expect him to leave you empty handed over a fender". As in no safety cert in hand just because of a fender.

I don't think they would have success with that either. Sounds more like political posturing.

You'll be fine. Ted will just want his $80 for coming out your way. I don't expect him to leave empty handed over a fender.

Anyone is free to celebrate whatever holiday they see fit within their religion or culture. I don't think this whole Merry Christmas issue is as big as everyone makes it out to be. I even have friends that are Hindu that say Merry Christmas. To them, it's obviously does not take on religious...

The AR-15 used in the Connecticut shooting and the Colorado theatre shooting fell under the old ban that ran from 1994-2004. Of course, manufacturers were able to expose loopholes by modifying the weapons so part of the question is how effective such a ban be? I would expect Senate and...

Incorrect to whom? Yes to you guns user and military experts. I'm sorry but this issue is not just restricted to these parties. Congrats on using Google by the way. Ordinary citizens, government departments, and Congress are all weighing in on this debate. Just because we may not be expert...

Ya, we all know how you gun users and purists like to throw a hissy fit over semantics on 3 words rather than focus on the fact that 26 people were killed. I posted links earlier showing that the term SAW has been used by the ATF and in reports by Congress to describe semiautomatic assault...

0100 hours invading forces launch their boats headed toward Cuban beaches. They encounter some fire from a small militia group. By 0300 hours, the first wave of unloading is completed. Delays are encountered caused by engine failures of the boats and boat damage caused by coral reefs which...

Thanks for the clarification. When I say SAW, I'm referring to it as a semiautomatic assault weapon, which the .223 falls under.

I believe Kennedy, on the advice from his aides called off US Air Force support to prevent international opinion to sway too much against the US and to attempt plausible deniability of direct US government involvement. I thought they found a shotgun in the trunk. As far from what I've read...

You're right, octane is a measure of ability to resist detonation. Engine knocking, although a technically different principle can be induced by using too low of an octane gas than recommended. Using too low an octane fuel can cause the flame during the combustion process to hit the top of the...

Of course the rules for gun ownership have evolved and have shown a need to in the past. The right of the people to keep and bear arms does not necessarily mean Joe Citizen should have the right to own any effective firearm as he pleases on the day he chooses to own one. That's why licenses...

Now we can debate the real topic at hand rather than getting wrapped up around semantics.

Don't get so twisted around terminology here and lose sight of the argument being debated down in the US around bringing back the ban on Semiautomatic Assault Weapons. When there's a debate around that topic and someone throws the word SAW out, interpret it in the context of the discussion at...

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/saws-and-lcafds.html#saw-ban-permanence The term SAW (semiautomatic assault rifle) has been used quite often in the debates down in the US since the shootings because the AR-15 would in theory have fallen under the now expired SAW ban. SAW as in squad assault...

The AR-15 rifle the shooter used is a demilitarized version of the M16 and falls under the US federal definition of "semiautomatic assault weapon". Hence, why I referred to it as a SAW. This terminology has been used by the ATF and in the Semiautomatic Assault Weapon (SAW) ban 1994. So accuse...
