    Personal sales while legal if both parties are legal, I have done it myself, but unfortunately not all personal sakes are above board

    My son prefers to pay cash to avoid the 3% credit card hit many dealers in my state charge. Can't say I blame him.

    @ShawnOL , yep, dealers have a very low margin on new guns, so losing 3% in CC charges is a big deal.

    Guns kill people. People can't kill people that's why they buy guns duh.

    That's why you have to lock 'em up. If you don't they get out and about, sneaking around your house at night, trying to find a way into your car so they can get their jollies whacking people and blaming you.

    The second largest bank failure in US history just happened. We'll have to see what the ripple effects will be.

    In today's world it's kind of a non-issue, but I'd want to hold our elected officials to a higher standard than that.

    True. Good reason not to vote for him. Still not newsworthy to me. Certainly not worth investing tax dollars, but maybe needs to be known. For about a minute.

    It's a sad day when men aren't willing to risk their own safety to save children.

    Ya know, with the way the Republicans do their primary, if Trump is in the race, he has enough of a base, and will almost certainly be the Republican candidate.

    @peter4jc , I fully expect that will happen. There is no one who can compete with Trump and other candidates in a primary, and only one who could stand a chance one-on-one.

    Thanks @TRayB , really like this dude. We have to think beyond this next cycle, trumpism is not a person.
