Because I think that having an easily accessible portal to conduct background checks would promote the use of such a portal among gun owners broadly. It doesn't necessarily have to be free, low cost and efficient would suffice. Putting up unnecessary barriers to implementing that background check process is counter productive, unless the motivation behind the policy has something other to do than decreasing the transfer of firearms to people that should not legally be able to obtain them.
Ok, I can go with low cost. But efficient? What makes you think the government can do that? 🤣

I am not opposed to requiring background checks for private transfers, provided that there is a free and efficient mechanism in place for the private party to execute that check.
Why should it be free? When I buy/sell a car or a house the gubmint knows all about it and even takes a cut. Why should gun ownership be different?

What I don't get is how there isn't someone, anyone with half a brain among the wealthy alums, admin or coaching staff who doesn't see that and think "WTF.... In this day and age of viral videos, that shit is embarrassing." But then I remember what country, as a whole, we live in.

It has improved significantly in the last 30 years while there has been a massive proliferation of guns in American society. Especially ones capable of killing a lot of people quickly. 30 years ago no one I knew had an AR 15 and very few had semi autos with 15-20 round capacities. Yet schools are much safer now than they were when I was in high school in the 90s. My response was to your assertion that more guns equals more shooters. The data does not seem to support that at all.
30+ years ago, how many schools had metal detectors? And why do so many have them now.

It probably hardly comes up. I doubt many college players want to pay for their own ticket and skip on the team charter. Not to mention at such short notice it wouldn't be possible. I'd bet the few times it comes up are probably extenuating circumstances, and not I just want to party out here another day.
Yeah, it's not like bowl games are last minute and players don't have a clue which city they'll be playing in until the night before, right?

Been drinking tequila but might have to hit the hard stuff
Can we play this game in Colorado again?

An 0-4 start and already a scandal in the books. I would've said this was crazy just a few weeks ago but could Urban be headed towards "one-and-done" with regard to the NFL?
Honestly, are there odds on him not finishing the season? Because I would take those right about now.

My local liquor store had some people from Oak & Eden in a few days ago and we're having a tasting of their stuff along with a few bottles for sale. Booze tasted decent and the prices were right so I picked up a bottle of the Bourbon and Spire for $35. I didn't know anything about the distillery and definitely didn't pay attention to the spiral cut piece of Oak in the bottle. Drinking it now again and I'm thinking this is going to get mixed with some Diet Coke until I kill off the bottle.
From an interview one of the owners gave. :
Now, our whiskey is somewhat different, even unique. Our whiskey is “in-bottle finished”. That is a technique we pioneered and patented whereby we add a 5 inch long spiral cut piece of American Oak (the same species of wood from which whiskey barrels are made). We call this our “Spire”. This spire is added to each bottle to finish it, adding flavor, complexity and nuance.
We specialize in finished whiskey, with a twist. We distill and barrel age our whiskey traditionally, in American oak barrels for two years. We finish our whiskey untraditionally, by placing a five inch long, spiral cut piece of wood in every bottle. Instead of putting our whiskey into a secondary barrel to finish it, we pioneered (and patented) a way to put the second barrel into the bottle.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
God provided the Vision and the provision. Next, we have a group of passionate employees, investors and advisors, all of whom are dedicated to the success of our little whiskey business.
