Last I checked we already had laws for murder.

I'll answer as soon as you show me where someone has made that argument in this thread. Straw man. (You probably know that already.) You brought up mass murders. Very good. Now where did I say anything remotely close to mass shootings being the only thing worthy of attention? Where did I say that you said that mass shootings were the only thing worthy of attention?

No idea. But if he is, it doesn't surprise me.

Instead of answering questions you just ask more questions.

Which would show . . . what? Have there been a lot of mass stabbings/mass hammer-ings/mass bombings lately? They sure seem rare compared to mass shootings. (Also, I sincerely hope that you don't believe the often repeated lie that more people are killed with baseball bats and hammers than guns . . .) Well I think it would show that gun control isn't going to necessarily reduce the number of gun related fatalities. In fact it may very well make it worse if we're willing to look at many countries who have implemented gun control. I'm not stating facts here, just my own opinion btw. Are murders that happen in masses the only things worth talking about or something?

What would that argument show? I think that more people are scared of nut jobs with guns more than either separately. That even though the US has more gun owners per capita the death rate by guns is much lower in the US than many other countries who have a lower gun owner per capita. I think that more people are scared of nut jobs with guns more than either separately. I think if that were true we'd be having the same discussion about nut jobs with knives and hammers and the capability to make explosives.

It doesn't matter if it's a gun, or a knife, or a bat..................we shouldn't have to deal with nutbags in our society. I'll give you an example: I had to deal with a lady that was completely bat $hit crazy, had no idea as they had just moved into the city. So I get called there one day on a "domestic disturbance" I show up there and try to deal with the problem. Eventually this lady decided to assault me, was taking to the ground fairly quickly by me, handcuffed, taken to the hospital and then jail. During my discussions with her it became painfully obvious she was completely gone, crazy, etc. There was zero reason a person like that should be in society, whether her meds bring her closer to center or not doesn't matter, she refuses to take them. We get called there several times over the next few months and finally ask for the state to intervene and get her some help. She's ordered to be held for mental health evaluation in one of the local hospitals. She's there for only 30 days.................... I get called back there a few months later and she's back, I ask why? Husband says that it's the hospitals policy to send these mental subjects back home to "see how they do." That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, she's just as crazy before and nevermind there is a court order in place that "forces" her to take her meds. I don't see anyone there from the courts or state "forcing" her to take those meds. I leave as this isn't a police matter and I'm not getting assaulted again. There is zero reason law enforcement should be dealing with these nut cases. We aren't mental health professionals and we shouldn't have to be. Folks like this should be locked up in a mental health facility and that would help A LOT with the issues that society faces with crazy people on a daily basis. You're trying to use the access to guns issue as the core issue when it isn't, it comes down to mental health..............period. I'm not saying it may not be an issue, it might be and I'm all for tighten background checks up and things like that, but I'm not for taking guns away from people. There are nutbags in every society. America doesn't have a monopoly on people who need mental health care. What we have is too many guns. The numbers are quite clear on that. I think one could make the case that the death rate by guns compared to guns per resident is much lower in the US compared to many other countries. And if you take out suicides, the gap between the US and other countries is even greater. The problem is people are scared of guns more than they are of nut jobs.

Monte Ball is overrated. I don't care how many TD's he had at Wisconsin, I would not draft him before Rex Burkhead.

Where are those pillars going again?

Really? I'm sure Nebraska fans would be just fine without Dirk's input.

Dirk comes up with good stats.. but that's about it.

If that's his specific order than I kind of like our chances... I know we can beat out Penn State.

Kate's a Michigan girl.. Ain't no way.

Looks like a little Nancy boy.

I'll take our N.

If this guy has 4.3 speed, he's an Enunwa type receiver all the way... except faster.

Priest willis? Quincy Russell? I don't think he was talking about those guys because he specifically said the kid played very poor football his senior year. That's definitely not the case with those two. I am very curious who he was talking about. Made it sound like he was ours to lose too. Lacoutre? Lacoutre? Minter?

You sir, get a +1 from me.

We have Gladney and Dixon for our WR's in this class. Yes, it'd be nice if we could get another WR, but I really wish we could find another corner for this class added with Johnson and Mixon. I'm unsure what the coaches plan with Mixon are, but I think he'd fill in nicely playing a DE role which is the other type recruit I believe we need. So to wrap this up, it would have be nice to get him, but I won't lose sleep over it.

All I know is ammunition is too dang expensive.

I wonder if the coaches would like to put him at DE instead of DT.

Fisher and Joseph are doing wonders for us on the recruiting front. We have got to hold onto these two guys for years to come.
