I'm beginning to think Trump is the DNC's Manchurian Candidate.

His thoughts on shotguns were limited number of rounds, some unreliability in semiauto shotguns if you can't get the stock to your shoulder, and ... something else. (Sorry, I'll check the article again.)
OK, maybe I'll buy some of that, but if I wanted to use a carbine I'd use my CX-4 storm that is chambered in 9mm, thus I could load it with the same personal defense ammo I use in my carry 9mm pistol.

Spin Zone / Re: Pedestrian and bicylist responsibility
« on: January 08, 2016, 06:08:39 AM »Everytime I leave the bike in a parking space, I'm concerned that some inattentive driver won't notice the bike and zip into the parking space. So, one approach is to leave the bike just barely in the space, rather than parking as far forward as possible, trying to make it as obvious as possible that the space isn't empty.
Yeah, I leave the back of the bike even with the back of the cars I park beside, but even then I've had one bike that was knocked down and run over by a car backing into the space. Guy was on a cell phone, go figure.

« on: January 08, 2016, 05:49:45 AM »And another thing...
why can't two motorcycles share a parking space rather than taking up two spaces. I'm talking about when the two riders are together.
I was out riding with a group of folks, maybe 8 bikes, parallel street parking. So, we put 4 bikes in a space diagonal, to conserve space. So, meter maid comes up and says only 1 vehicle per space. We even offered to pay her for 8 spaces instead of 2, but no, we had to move the bikes and occupy 8 spaces. Gotta love gov't drones.

« on: January 08, 2016, 05:47:39 AM »I see in the local paper people wanting to require trucks to put side guards on trucks to prevent the truck from running over a bicylist when the truck takes a right turn.
How about also requiring bicylists to have training to avoid trying to pass a truck on the right when it's turning right?
Um, ever drive in the south? Most people don't use signals, including truckers. I guess one should know via telepathy that the truck is turning?

Spin Zone / Re: Who would the libs blame this time?
« on: January 08, 2016, 05:44:24 AM »Will 2016 be another 2008 for the stock market?
http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/07/investing/stock-markets-2008-china/
So far this year, things aren't looking good. I don't foresee a huge crash looming, but you never know. But if the market does "pull another 2008", as the CNN article ponders, would the libs be as quick to blame Obama as they were GWB?
Looks like Bush had a longer impact than the idiots first thought!!!
You jest, but I *still* hear stuff like that from Obama lovers. I suppose GWB screwed things up SO badly that even the great messiah Obama can't fix them nigh 8 years later.

Spin Zone / Re: Why is unemployment so high?
« on: December 31, 2015, 05:48:56 AM »There are plenty of jobs available. But there are not enough qualified people.
Part of the reason (a big part) that I sold my business and retired was that it was so difficult to find qualified workers with a good work ethics, no matter how much I offered.
http://www.businessinsider.com/hr-professionals-finding-it-difficult-to-recruit-new-hires-2015-11
eta: By "unemployment so high", I am talking about workforce participation, and all the low paid positions. I never could find sufficient people to hire that would have warranted the higher wages.
What kind of business was this? In high tech I hear the same song but it comes down to bean counters not wanting to pay for domestic talent when they can hire "contractors" from Bangalore, BOGO.
Damn right. There was no engineer shortage, employers found that they could bring in people on the H1-B and these people would be happy to work for damn near anything offered. And now everyone wonders why nobody wants to go into engineering. Dead end field. America sold out by corporate execs yet again.

« on: December 31, 2015, 05:45:37 AM »Me...I lack the time or the inclination to pursue such a matter. It is, however, a very interesting legal question should someone show an interest. I know I'm going to have a very in-depth discussion with some friends of mine in the profession over lunch at some point.
I'm inclined to let it go. POA came about when AOPA was going to permanently shut down their web board leaving pilots out in the cold. Several good hearted pilots created POA so we had a place to land. I don't believe they have ever meant harm, and in the end it's their sandbox, their rules. Personally, I'm thankful for all they've done over the years to provide this free service and respectfully request that folks just let it go. IMHO.

Spin Zone / Re: Guess What Children? Seattle Says Single Family Homes are Racist
« on: December 10, 2015, 05:59:55 AM »Under the Obama administration, housing officials no longer limit their view of housing discrimination to overt acts such as landlords and Realtors steering minorities away from predominantly white areas. They now consider any race-neutral policy that has the "effect" of creating "disparate access" for minorities to good jobs, schools and other suburban "assets" to be a racist "barrier.

Very few seem to understand just how much America has changed under 8 years of Obama. We're being gutted inside out.
