Been through it twice.Exactly.
We should maybe be a bit better at turning in our friends when they seem to be going off but who can tell.
How many people that know of a friend that commits suicide says..yeah, I saw that coming.
Complete shock, never would have known
Been through it with a shooting too and never ever would have expected my friend to murder his own parents

What an awful choice to face, Trump or Hillary. It's like being asked if you want to die by hanging or immolation....
I dont see a bright future come 2017.
The US is gonna be tackling some huge issues in the near future(as if they dont already have enough)
-
I appreciate the answers guys.
If we can find a way to sell reasonable background checks that would have prevented Mateen from getting his guns, while protecting the existing rights of law abiding citizens, then we'd have progress. I can only speak for myself, but I really think that's all anyone is trying to accomplish here.
Agreed.
Hopefully sooner than later. Obama has about 6 months left, I think hes gonna be using this time wisely(I hope)
Im not particularily a fan but if legislation needs to pass for resolve Id trust his hand moreso than Trump or Hillary.

When we were young and fit we would start doing more aerobic work in the winter to prepare to bushwack fish for Trout in the back woods of Orangeville and Varney area, I called it Viet Nam. The same when we portaged beaver dams with 14' tinnies, 9.9's gas and tackle up in the Long Lac area. I stopped doing that because it just wasn't physically possible. Fitness is important even for a "non physical" activity as fishing.
Oh my I miss those trips, and hate them at the same time lol.
I always got stuck carrying the motor, always.
But getting into some of those lakes sure made alot of great memories.
Our last trip I just posted about, my pops was talking about buting a 12 or 14 footer.
So I have a feeling more of these trips are planned.
So Ive got time to convince him that paddles work well lol

Smart people recognize the limitations of their knowledge and involve experts. It really doesn't matter if he said "clip" or "magazine". It matters that he wants guys like Omar Mateen not not be able to buy guns. He lamented the fact that he can put him on a no fly list, but can't deny him a gun. He's right.
Well put. But IMO he shouldnt be politizing this during what should be, a heartfelt moment of mourning for the victims.
Talk about guns seperately
-
Nit picking about someone's error here is like nit picking about the model of car that hit the hotdog lady in Toronto yesterday.
Completely classless and shows no respect for the 49 dead. The fact that you can find any humour in this tragedy speaks more about you, and your beliefs that the President not being a firearms expert. Don't need to know anything about guns to know that what happened and what will again happen, should nothing change.
BTW - Trump couldn't one iota about the victims in Orlando, they weren't going to be voting for him anyway!
HH
I wouldnt say that HH. Its a horrible tragedy and I find no humour in the loss of lives, AT ALL.
And dutch, Im not "die hard constitutional guy".
My answer is no. He should not have been able to purchase these weapons IMO
Also, I dont live in the US so the outcome of gun legislation effects me in no way, shape or form. So Im just adding to the discussion.
I dont have an answer either.
All I know is that if you ban guns like australia, the body count is gonna be heaps and bounds above 49.
Also, I cannot understand this. He was visited and questioned numerous times by the FBI. How is his name not red flagged into a system of sorts barring him from legally obtaining a gun(s)?
Somewhere in here this is a rights/priveledge issue.
-
I'll take that job if I can work from Canadian soil!
You missed a fundamental distinction between the President and his detractors; he is attacking them for yet again refusing to even have a discussion on the topic. They are attacking him for wanting change in light of a systemic failure resulting in 49 needles deaths.
I agree, but thats not the time to do it.
Do it seperately.
Also, shouldnt the president, whos had numerous attempts at changing guns laws at least have some knowledge on guns?
I mean many people probably didnt catch it, or maybe they did??? But he flat out said the shooter had purchased the glock and it had numerous clips.
Seriously???
At least if your having the discussion on gun legislation let it involve experts.
Hes surrounded by guns all day everyday, you would think hed pick up a thing or two lol
-
In light of 49 needless deaths, I think nit-picking terminology is a bit petty.
It should be clear to everyone that this guy shouldn't have been able to buy ANY guns. If you disagree please feel free to speak up now. I'd like to know how anyone could defend that position.
Instead of being honest about that and asking "how could we have prevented him from getting therm", we are attacking people's grammar and use of terminology? How do you say to the families of the dead " We're sorry for your loss, but we steadfastly refuse even the most cursory review of existing procedures"?
You should write for the president of the US.
Instead of a heartfelt condolence to the orlando shooting victims he went straight politcal attacking other candidates etc.
And lol dave???
-
Yep and although the sig can adapt to other rounds/parts, its not even compatible with an ar15
-
Art, did you have a chuckle when obama said the shooter purchased a "glock with alot of clips"?
The president doesnt know a glock doesnt use clips???

A propane tank is not gonna blast off on a lil fire.
Those tanks strong as ....
Still amazingly stupid but..
Ive used propane tanks with tiger torches to heat other propane tanks all the time mining.
Could I die? Yes. Logically though it wont happen.
Those tanks are very well designed
It would take intense heat to blow one up(dont try it though lol)
-
100% true because I read it on the internet.
You know how to use the interwebs?
-
You think fishing is tough, try construction work!
You think construction is tough, try the oilfield/pipline/ironmakers/mining
Or being a mcdonalds employee lol
-
No flies in my house! Lol
???

Absolutely ridiculous. Of course the earth is flat, just ask anyone with a tiller.
Makes sense, since everone with a console believes in shapeshifting reptilians???
-
Any of them explain why when you are on a boat on a big "flat" lake you see the tops of the trees before the land?
Probably not, because they dont think rationally.
I seen this debate on fb and it hilarious people could believe such things.
I just asked them for directions because I really wanted to try parachuting off earth to see what it looks like from below.
-
Any place with cheap golf balls?
-
I developed a cyst in my wrist from fishing(not the other self gratification?)
And tennis elbow from golfing and playing tennis???
-
???I'm going to buy that as a gag gift for somebody, that's beyond ridiculous, I felt embarrassed watching Mercer plug that thing
I fish alot of top waters and nothing on the lure matter but hooks, and floatation well size too.
Everytop water lure I own is black if I can get it. Or white.
Doesnt even need any "fish/frog/whatever" details are added
A fish will hit a squash ball if you toss it out
-
but a top water frog, lets say a Spro dean rojas frog, still walks the dog, chugs, and moves "like a frog". a popper pops.
that will literally just be dragged in....and doesn't represent anything. it won't create much of a disturbance.
Sure it will. You can impart action on the lure using your rod.
I wont be buying any and im not trying to justify it.
-
about 90% of my topwater baits ( we called them plugs way back when ) were BLACK, especially fishing in the evening.
Thats me favorite colour?
-
so they are designed to be reeled in on their sides, like a flat fish on the surface....
yep, another koppers live target bait designed to catch fisherman.
when was the last time you saw a fish just cruising alone, on its side, on the surface, lol.
Its just like a frog or any other top water bait.
Pretty sure fish hit it because of the disturbance, not the paint job.
Its funny how many lures are painted up like works of art for top water
-
Did you watch the games?
Of course you didnt, your a sens fan???
At least leafs fans like hockey
-
A few questions...
How many rounds did this guy fire?
How many clips did he carry?
Why did it take swat 3 hours to respond to the emergency?
What happened to the second guy that was reported that had a bomb in his car?
Picked up something new for bass season

The lipless crank shiner lure is worth the $13. Really good lure on soft water or hardwater
