Utah, I thought more of you were cool with this. This is the red state solution, everyone packs heat. Fear prevails, right?

Re: CT School Shooting/Gun Control Poll Thread

Sorry I haven't read all of the posts here, I've been trying to ignore this whole thing to some degree.

Re: CT School Shooting/Gun Control Poll Thread

While I understan the sentiment to keep the name of the shooter out of the news, it is absurd. These people need to be studied and then studied more. I understand your sentiment as well. Just, I don't know, disgruntled white kid, keeps to himself, erratic behavior, guns in the home...... I have two...

Saw Skyfall, I looooved it. Really well done. I don't normally like action flicks, at least in the last decade, just so much flash bang and no creative content. I thought Skyfall was woven really well with creative content that complemented the dialog and the action sequences and the cinematography ...
