I own guns and I have never shot anyone. They are used for putting holes
in the centre of paper targets and for shattering clay pigeons.

Every day in America, "eight children and teens are shot in instances of family fire - a shooting involving an improperly stored or misused gun
found in the home resulting in injury or death," according to Brady, a national gun violence prevention group.

That is a problem. I'm OK for about another week, but right now, Tea

Once they figure out what to do, I'm going to be the guinea pig to test it.

It has come to my attention that some people view Mr. Charlie as a Christ-like
figure. He shook up the establishment tree so that he could be sacrificed to pay for the sins of the nation.
That's probably not a good sign. The good news is that in this version of Jesus,
the savior is an actual white guy. There's room for two Christs is this world:
one, a colored one that looks like a prime target for ICE, the other, the real
deal that Americans can get behind.

What would Trump's tariff for tea from Canada to the US be? 35% since
the tea wasn't grown in Canada? Plus possibly a small processing fee?
Is that worth it to you (assuming Canada Post ever starts working
again)?

If he really believed what he preached I guess he would have to view his

8x365/330,000,000 for a yearly percentage. Move the decimal in two
places for the percentage.
"We must assure that this never happens again" is a ridiculous argument.

Couple of months back, a group of teenagers went through a neighborhood
in Tampa and found/stole 14 guns left in cars. Seems it happens all over
the US.
Plenty of people have been killed by family members, often kids, that
pick up a gun laying on a table and shoot a parent or sibling.

History of enforcement
A 2-year-old boy shot himself in the chest after his father allegedly
left a gun on the kitchen table last year in Harris County.
In 2011, a 6-year-old boy found a loaded handgun under a futon cushion
and took it to an elementary school in Houston, according to court
records. The gun fell out of his pocket and went off, shooting a 5-year-
old in the foot. Later that year, a 15-year-old was paralyzed from the shoulders down after his 13-year-old friend shot him using a firearm
left above a bar in the living room.
The most recent case was earlier this month, when a 3-year-old boy died
of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Harris County Sheriff's Office
said the child appeared to have gained access to a pistol that was left loaded inside the home and shot himself on Nov. 1.
The boy's father, Anthony Love, was charged Nov. 13 with making a
firearm accessible to a child.
Every day in America, "eight children and teens are shot in instances of family fire - a shooting involving an improperly stored or misused gun
found in the home resulting in injury or death," according to Brady, a national gun violence prevention group.

There was a man in Memphis who was shot by his dog.-a He left the loaded
gun on a table and the dog knocked it off and it discharged and shot the

3 times while cleaning his guns. Apparently the
first two injuries were minor.
Maybe he cleaned his guns numerically by caliber.

I was content to pay for Netflix.-a Then the raised their prices and
reduced the number of devices you can use it on.-a When I first
subscribed to Netflix it was $5.99 per and I could use it on multiple devices, so if I was away I could log into. Not the cheapest plan is $

from them for accessing in on another device.-a If I want it without ads
it is now $18.99. That's more than 3 times as much as it was just a
couple years ago.

I'm amazed at some of the free stuff on my Roku. I owned it for years,
to make an old wood console TV into a "smart TV".
When Jenni moved in, she showed me the "Roku" channel, all free stuff.
You can watch a lot of cable TV channels and programs for nothing. MythBusters, How it's Made, lots of food channels, History channel, etc
-- All for free. I feel dumb that I didn't know about that a few years ago.
And then there's "KPop Demon Hunters." Will it change everything in kid's animation? I certainly had a hard time understanding the concept.
My kids desperately wanted to watch it. I sat through about half of
that Korean pop music, and I had my fill. They've watched it at least
twice now.
