Maybe burnley can lend them a few supporters and show a bit of support for a local club thats not doing quite as good as they are

Last two home gates 15,000 19000+ Burnley only had anything near that this season once when they played Rovers

Few selected quotes after this weeks shooting over here at Fort Hood, Texas, Eric.

Sources confirmed that the pistol used in the attack was bought from the same store, Guns Galore in nearby Killeen, where the soldier behind the 2009 gun rampage at Fort Hood purchased his.

Officials have said that Lopez had served in Iraq and was being assessed for post-traumatic stress disorder.

At an event for Paralympians, some of them former military members, President Barack Obama said the shooting was "tragic".
"To see this unspeakable, senseless violence happen in a place where they're supposed to feel safe - home base - is tragic.

And there's that word "tragic" again ... nothing tragic about it. Maybe it's more "tragic" that just about anybody with a drivers licence, or reasonable facsimile thereof, can acquire enough firepower to arm an infantry battalion. Interesting that one can now take his gun to church

... that's the yanks: god and guns. Gotta luv 'em.

And the country with more military firepower than the rest of the world put together is one where many of its citizens have a "shoot first" mentality. I wonder what kind of background checks they do on the guys in the missile silos?

DtheP47 · 04-04-2014, 19:56

Quoting from USA Today "The shooter was not required to have his weapon registered with the military since he lived off post" I would have thought that was all the more reason to do so?

a nation of complete knobheads in general imho.

There are limits in Texas ... you can't open carry if you are on parole (but you can still own a gun.) Oh, and you can't have a gun if your name is Mohamed or Ali, or anything similar.

And if Trump is elected, Jesus won't be able to carry.

i kind of like the idea of a set of rules that a government cant change that allows the population to shoot its government if the government gets above its self

we banned guns years ago but it didnt stop a kid getting shot by a stray bullet from a criminal a few years back as he played in the street on his bike or the gun crime we still have today

not saying we should have guns but when our government took guns away from people who only used them in gun clubs perhaps they should have taken the guns away from the criminals as well and kept guns from getting to them
