    My God, just seeing this.

    What a gut punch.  I saw a guy lose control of his motorcycle the other night on Lamar near 24th.  Hit the curb and flew like a rag doll half a football field into Pease Park.

    Margin for error on those things is next to nil.

    FUCK

    That happened to my youngest son when he snuck his older brother’s dirt bike out to ride it down the street. He only dislocated his shoulder though.

    Not when the question is stated like this:

    We register all sorts of shit that doesn't get confiscated. Sometimes stupid, paranoid questions like "has anything ever been registered that hasn't been confiscated" that can be refuted as easily as "cars" need to be called out for being stupid and paranoid. 

    Most people that advocate for common-sense gun control don't want to take your stupid fucking guns. 

    “Common sense”. Lol. That is a worn out term which is code for registration and eventual confiscation. It has been put into effect in more than one state in recent decades, and has caused a wave of civil disobedience among gun owners who were affected. It even failed in Canada.

    As if that is a virtue signal for the advocate crowd who won’t even use the term “gun control” anymore and have been using the “gun safety” platitudes in recent years. And yes, there are plenty of those, including politicians, who seek to remove a certain class “our stupid fucking guns”.

    Maybe instead there should be red flag laws for accusers and government bureaucrats to determine who gets to own & use high speed computer devices for accessing social media and the Internet. How would that fly with the free speech crowd?

    Just some observations, and not pointed at you in particular.

    Law-abiding gun owners are just as upset about these massacres as everyone else and would like to see the criminals, ineligibles,  & potential perpetrators denied access to these commonly owned firearms. But do it in a rational, constitutional manner without stepping on anyone’s rights.

    FWIW, my understanding of condition 1 carry would require the firearm to have a manual safety.

    Not a requirement in most states. A handful do require manual safeties regardless if the gun is carried in condition 1. So some pistols are manufactured with or without them to meet state regulations. Texas does not require manual safeties on semiauto handguns. California & Massachusetts do.

    Saturday update per ESPN:  "He had a court date scheduled for Thursday, though the Dallas Morning News, citing Travis County court records, reported that had been moved to Sept. 23."

    If court hearing truly is Sept 23rd, Josh might not even have a shot to be eligible till West Virginia game in early October, missing at least 4 games.

    Too bad, but he f’d up.
