What problem will eliminating semi-automatic weapons solve?

Red.

Well Trump wasn't around then. Geez. But seriously we do NOT have a gun problem. We all know we have a mental health problem.

But wait there's more! I was at work and get a notification from my security system company that our downstairs motion detector had been triggered. I think it might be the cat but they ask if I want OPD to investigate. I say yes! They show up at 4am! 14 hours later. Never knocked, never did a security check. They looked in our windows and one cop says "the place doesn't look disheveled." Excuse me?? Maybe we're in the back bedroom dead on the floor. With that taxpayer funded security I'm taking my safety into my own hands. Took several weapons courses including home invasion. Two.

I'm 61 years old and had our house broken in to in Oakland 12 months after we bought it. Caught 2 people looking in the windows on our security cam when it as listed for sale. The home across the street was broken into three times in the five years we lived there. We had strangers knock on our door in the middle of the night several times. I called OPD several times with suspicious activity out front. And here's the kicker. The original owners were victims of home invasion. Tied up and beaten for six hours. So just because you know no one who has had their homes broken in to doesn't mean the rest of us care about YOUR odds. I care about protecting me and my family if I live somewhere that requires my protection. And BTW this is not the slums of Oakland. That house is now valued on Zillow at $1.4m

What if someone breaks in your house and wants to kill you or your family? He'll kill ya all while you're reloading your musket

Why? What's their culpability in this? NOTE: I believe Tibs has me on ignore so if anyone else wants him to answer this you may want to quote him instead of me. Let the fun begin......

Just because you drive a Chevy Volt.................

A tragedy that appears to be racially motivated turns into an argument on abortion and the NRA. This place is amazingly ***** up. Carry on Tool Boys. 🙄

New on this planet?

No dye it pink and make cured meat. Google it. 😁

One thing I heard was they were concerned about the amount of salt being dumped back in the ocean. So the commission said they’d rather see other ways of helping the problem. Ok, we’ve had water issues here forever but they’ve done nothing. It blows my mind how they can’t figure out how to capture and store the millions and millions of gallons of runoff from our melting snow each year that just ends up in the ocean. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Huh I thought it was because we are racist. They can’t keep their talking points straight.

It’s about space.

They care. Of course they do. To think they don’t is extremely cynical. And this is coming from one of the board’s biggest cynics. What’s actually likely going on is they have not one ***** clue about what they are doing and what true leadership is.

Thanks. I’ll take that under consideration. 🙄

Doesn’t quite work here. LOL.

He flew kites as a kid but this is an entirely different kind of flying…..altogether.

Otto Graham. You kids. 🙄 But seriously it was probably OJ. Damn he was amazing to watch.

Yeah I’ll admit it. You’re 100% right. I suck. 😒

I’ll wait til 4:20.

I liked it too. Just get out of my way ya *****.

I can't remember the last time I ate at a fast food place. Pre-pandemic maybe?
