    I thought Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and the Union won the Civil War. (In Canada we elect leaders now based on their socks and hair (and how feminine they are) so don't mind me)

    Millions of kids going go school every day. (going by memory here): and "approximately 1 in 5 kids age 13-18 experiences a serious mental disorder at some point in their life" It only takes one of them with a chip on his shoulder and access to a firearm to wreak horror and (briefly) convulse a...

    "so many school shootings" Any are too many. Approximately 140,000 schools in USA. Ask yourself if you think these things are preventable. That particular genie got outta the bottle a long time ago. Trying to stick him back in is admirable, but akin to teaching a goldfish how to play the...

    "The demographics of gun ownership in the United States" by the Pew Research Center has a lot of info on the subject of who owns what. One little factoid that caught my eye is that approximately 50% of the folks who don't currently own a firearm could foresee buying one in the future.

    Climbers for Christ

    @ Oakwilt..... Your post strikes me as being callously obtuse; it cripples intelligent dialogue. Anyway, perhaps Google: Matthew 7:21-23 "not everyone who calls me Lord...", with the hope that you will have a glimmer of understanding.

    Bed liners

    My knees dislike leaning on the ridges of a liner. Sheet of plywood addresses that. Roadsalt murders vehicles up here...anyone trying to preserve their truck for the grandkids to inherit is delusional. I'm a lot less concerned about moisture under a liner than the slow death being inflicted...

    If the stump is gonna be left in situ, bevelling the edge can add an aesthetic dimension. ;)

    @oakwilt - jumping is off the table, but the ratcheting up of the demagoguery did make me wonder if the rabies vaccine was ineffective. :D I see a lot of hate and division on both sides of the American political spectrum. You really gonna try claim the moral high ground? I'm in support of...

    Nope. Fail. Lanza never an NRA member. Google is your friend. (hint: ISA Certified Arborist and membership in the ISA are different animals)

    I'm fairly sure (not certain, but leaning towards certitude) that no NRA member has ever been responsible for a school shooting rampage. Mentally unstable individuals + access to guns = tragedy waiting to happen.

    Lets unpack that line of reasoning a little bit. I kinda like where you are going, because this means there will be no repeat DUI drivers. Caught once and yer walkin' not driving for the rest of your life. No more serial rapists or felons with rap sheets as long as Harlequin Romance novels...

    Explain a negligent discharge (ND)? The fellow screwed up. Period. Some of the more common carry guns eg. Glocks, have no "safety" button/lever. The trigger IS the safety. Others, like a .45 have both a safety lever and a grip safety (pulling the trigger alone won't fire the pistol unless...

    @ Oakwilt: If the "basket of deplorables" hadn't elected your nemesis, is there a fairytale ending to the American predisposition to kill innocents with firearms?

    No future school and workplace massacres by mental midgits? A peaceful Utopia ruled by leftists?
