  1. Guess I should’ve said light beer.
  2. @Handcruser Maybe. I haven’t poured over your history and will give you the benefit of the doubt. If you’re for bringing sanity to a hyper emotional issue I applaud you. Even more so as someone inside an industry that has seemingly been institutionally organized against that. My comment was narrowly in response to your comment on waiting periods - and apparent aversion thereto. But the last thing I want is for my observation about the gun industry to be true. I wish it wasn’t a bunch of 2A absolutists (including state and federally elected officials) using assault weapons as props in Christmas cards and whose only solution to gun violence is more guns. I really wish that wasn’t the case. But the proof points are few and far between
  3. I sell [product name], let me share my opinions on regulating the sale of [product name]. Rinse and repeat.
  4. Also I’ve never understood the “I need a gun and I need it fucking now” logic. Do you rise up against blue laws that close liquor stores on Sunday’s because you can’t plan a day ahead? Honestly if you can’t think a few days ahead maybe you shouldn’t be trusted with a deadly weapon.
  5. I’m no expert here. Just seems it’s pretty easy to get around common sense precautions in the purchasing process. Quick search and I see a 4473 not 4474. So are talking about the “lie and try” form and potential gun show exceptions? Just send him to the tobacco convention and he can bypass the inconvenience.
  6. Can we stop with the popularity equals merit bullshit. Hootie has a top 10 all time sales album. The Force Awakens is #5 all time box office gross. The fact that (a likely overstated) number of simpletons passionately show up at rallies is about as compelling as New Kids on the Block poster sales in the late 80s
  7. No. And I’ll happily sign on to laws that make it harder for others to have unfettered access too. I’m tired of watching news about school shootings or other mass shootings because we make guns easier to buy than cigarettes. I wish the proponents of gun rights did more police their own. By analogy they’re like weed should be legal so let’s open it up to crack and meth as well.
  8. They don’t need to cancel spring break. They just need more people to bring their guns.
  9. It’s been great. If you’re in Houston (I think you are), I’m happy to let you take it for a test drive
  10. As a parent of a special needs child I find it offensive to cite scripture on how my child should be disciplined. I find it equally offensive when applied to my child without special needs. Fuck everyone whose world view can’t extend beyond their belief system.
  11. These fucking idiots deserve what they get and we are better off without them
  12. I allowed myself to over serve myself. No money shot sadly
  13. We are tracking. Just started the dry brine on this 38 oz ribeye for dinner with a friend on Friday when Mrs. Brownwater is leaving me unsupervised.
  14. Circumstances conspired against getting a trip this winter and spring. We are thinking South America in early July. And wisdom y’all can share would be greatly appreciated. TIA
  15. This sounds like a great deal when compared to, checks notes, Jimbo’s contract. For ~$50m we are out of the B12 and start future revenue offsets sooner. For ~$80-90m the aggies can cancel a contract only to duplicate that cost over its original duration. And this isn’t to shit on aggie although I enjoy doing so. Our exit fee would be on the high but not outlandish cost of a coaching change in todays market. We probably nearly hit that figure between Strong and Herman.
