  • Quote from Drybones: “People never killed people before the gun was invented? ” so you think the level of gun violence in this country is acceptable? how you get and keep them out of the hands of criminals and mentally unstable people is really the only debate. at the same time, the issue of mental illness itself needs to be addressed.

    Quote from Astro: “My middle son read the original Hardy Boys. He just found out today he is a National Merit Semifinalist like his mother. We were concerned because he was sick (not feeling well) the day they had to take the PSAT, and he felt he did not do near as well as he could on it. So he should do even better on the SAT. Yes reading and math do pay off. He is also the one who is learning Mandarin Chinese. ” youtube.com/watch?v=RDrfE9I8_hs

  • Quote from Drybones: “Quote from g00gle: “Quote from Dan76: “I find this incident as described not funny, but an extremely sad commentary on this department's view of the community supposedly served. ” the Oathkeepers ” Quote from OzJacko: “I have said before, our gun laws won't work for you. You would have had to adopt them 100 years ago. You have had Pandora open the box. You already have the guns and a huge number of gun owners who won't give them up.

  • Quote from SarcasmTheElf: “Last I checked that "extrordinary number" of kids killed by accidental shooting is around 200 per year in the entire country. Granted that we all wish that number was zero, but to put it in perspective that is slightly less than the average number of children who die in swimming pools each year in the US. And there are more than 100 guns out there for every swimming pool. My point is that the actual risk of a child being involved in an accidental shooting is far, far l…

  • Quote from g00gle: “Quote from hikerboy: “criminals still have too easy a time of it to get guns ” Our government helps with that much more than many might care to believe. And I ain't talking about loopholes (well, at least not the same loopholes that "street"criminals use.) ” i remember a recent story involving guns confiscated from criminals which had already been confiscated by police.

    Quote from JimBlue: “The same retired police officer wrote both of them. I read Hardy Boys, one of my sisters read Nancy Drew. Newer printings have been 'updated'. I read some of the updated ones back in the 1980s, they were awful. ” i think originally there were around 32 titles. i also had a hardy boys primer on detective work, with stuff about fingerprinting, searching a crime scene,etc. th il_570xN.675202884_f190.jpg

These occur when a child …
