Do hate to be that guy....

BUT that's unrealistic.

Shooting a hole in a plane's body would not cause anything crazy to happen. Even if somehow a window was to come out...sure loose stuff will probably be sucked out but not people, and it would not rip some gigantic hole in the plane.

I won't feel safe until we have snakes on the motherf**kin' airplane.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Shoulda known it was coming LOL

Every plane should be filled with snakes.
No one would dare cause trouble knowing one with push of a button, a 30 foot boa constrictor will fall on you.

Why would anyone want to fly to a country where guns are illegal? Confused
 
We wouldn't want you here anywayTongue 
 
You would probably have your gun taken off you awww


I don't own a gun, and I have no desire to own one until the government starts making laws preventing me from owning one. When that day comes, I'm stocking up, buddy!

Just don't forget the ammo.  I have a video of a cousin of mine showing off his collection.  He wasn't a bad person but he loved guns.  Got busted and sent away to jail for a few years despite having a license for the more controversial pieces.  Personally, I'm not afraid of guns, I don't have any and I will do severe damage to you with a kitchen knife or cleaver if I need to.  You will not see it coming. Wink  I still haven't quite got over not getting a BB gun as a kid.  The chemistry set was a lot of fun though. Tongue

I don't own a gun either, but I quite like the idea of as many people owning and carrying guns as possible.

What are you talking about? Why would liking guns make you a bad person?

If he had licenses for them, why was he arrested?

Thank God government schools exist to still dupe people into thinking that they are the government.

Well, talk is only talk...

But it's floating around about
Cutting some of the Pentagon Budget
As well as some ear mark reform.

2 things I'm actually supportive of. Shocked
And vows from the new Reps of "Not repeating the mistakes of 94"

Not sure what that means, but I only hope it means they'll be more open to working together and won't try to impeach Obama on BS grounds...

You're joking right?  What they mean this time is that they think they will actually succeed at impeaching a Democratic president.  They didn't work with Obama in the first place to the detriment of the country, I would not expect anything different.

They're not gonna try to impeach Obama. 

Second, he's been as unwilling and dismissive of Repubs as they have of him.  He has no moral high ground on anyone.

That annoys you?

I'd be very disappointed if he doesn't press charges. People need to fight back with this. We need to start withdrawing our consent. The problem is regular people don't have the time and money to do it. Also, if he was Joe Regular this situation doesn't play out anything similar to this. 

I remember I tried to fill out a complaint once. They gave me a form to fill it out. It required me to list things such as my address, social security number, and employer. The agent kept saying "Don't worry we'll respond to your complaint; we always respond." 

I ended up just walking away.
