Props for "Them" reference.

The minute that mandatory gun removal is enacted, millions will be mysteriously stolen.
No gun...no buy back.
Now what?

That's right, guys; just wrap all your firearms in oily rags and bury them in your back yard. Replace some sod, and after a few mowings they will be well-hidden.

I don't like firearms, but Uncle Sam made me become qualified to use both an AR and a .38 revolver. I refuse to talk about any guns I own or don't own or might own.

I believe if I were to own any firearms, I would have a predilection for the AK over the AR, and for a semi-automatic handgun over a revolver, likely 9mm because of the ubiquity of the ammunition.

Ammosecsuals debate the efficacy of whatever they're shooting. It's all wind in sails, according to DEVO.

I was working in the engineering department of a defense contractor when the towers were hit. We all stopped working to watch the day unfold. Before, we had elderly re-a-cops for plant security. After, we had younger rentacops with automatic weapons and dogs.

Goat, I took the long way through college, with USAF (honorably discharged) in the middle. I took classes in English Literature, American Literature, Anthropology, Psychology, and business courses, and lots and lots of math. In the math classes, ALL of the story problems in four semesters of calculus were drawn from STEM sciency things. I took two breaks, to score a BBA in HR and a MBA in Operations Research along the way, from REAL accredited universities, including U of Northern Michigan, USAFI, and UW-Oshkosh (1973 and 1975).

"Prove it." "Give a citation" are all part of the troll arguments. Jeebus Crow, some of the community have a post-secondary education, and are not familiar with having to prove axioms regularly.

Goat, once again, has not failed the community, living down to our expectations. Please, please, Goat; give it a rest.

Obviously, America has demonstrated a high demand for uneducated cops, infantrymen, and worker bees. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

After only a few days, the Trump fanbois and trolls have outed themselves irreparably! You know who you are; please settle down, maybe take a nap or ask your doctor to re-adjust your meds. Three people are monopolizing the conversation.

France made high speed trains work.

Can we make high speed trains work?

We had a chance to do this a few years ago in Wisconsin. High-speed rail was to have been installed between Madison and Milwaukee and also between Milwaukee and Chicago with a transportation Federal Grant. A Spanish firm even prepared to build the locomotives and cars for the routes. Republican Governor Scott "-------" Walker cancelled EVERYTHING!

Walker also came up with the infamous Act 10, which trashed public school teacher's unions. Teachers early-retired in droves, and there are presently hundreds of unfilled and likely unfillable teaching posts in Wisconsin today. If you are willing to teach for low wages, please apply. There may even be a quickie route to certification if you're STEM-qualified!

Welcome to Wisconsin, suckers!

Know who is a DR troll, say like GOAT, and refuse to engage with them. Commenting on their wit only encourages them!

Does this mean we're still on for blasting Mara-Lardo off the map!?! If that happens, we're all in debt to Her Noodliness, and you may thank me for my imprecations!

A long time ago, almost like I dreamed the entire thing, I was in the USAF in Thailand at U-Tapao RTNB. One night, when I was really, really drunk off base, I decided I wanted a tattoo. One of my friends yanked me out of the shop and told me, "You wife would kill you!" I still have yet to get any ink.

Urban dictionary says "skutters" is Irish for diarrhea.

Dang...Goat seems to have taken over a discussion without saying anything. Quelle surprise!

Jeebus Tapdancing Crow! What is wrong with you guys, that you are incapable of behaving in the workplace?
1. NO touching without explicit permission. Example, if a hand is offered you may shake it.
2. Apparently, it might not be obvious; but NO RAPING.
3. If you believe your spouse or significant other won't find your joke or jibe funny; you ought to STFU, because there's a good chance an innocent passerby might find it unfunny as well.

Any deviation may cause and find your idiot self in an exit interview with Human Resources.

I forgot: WIN10 64-bit, i7 CPU from 2014, with twin 2TB 7200 RPM internal drives, 2GB video card, and 32GB of DDR3 RAM. I don't mind the extra dance steps, so long as the problem is getting looked at!

I had to log in twice again today. I am relieved to know it's not my PC security at fault!

I had to log in twice. If it ever becomes too much hassle, I have have abandoned websites for less. I would miss some regular posters; but at the end my computer works for me.

I'm not. never have. I'm just pointing out that you say more about yourself doing it than you say about me. If you don't want to be called a childish name caller, then post as an adult would.

Dear Goat,

I called your mom, and she said to remind you to give yourself a time-out when you become agitated.

When you have cornered Bambi's dad, you can chop off his legs with ammo from a 100-round magazine! Ditto for the deranged dark-complected killer in your kitchen at 3AM, per American Rifleman's "The Armed Citizen." I read that rag sometimes, but only for this column.

Nope... but woke folks have been ruining comedy since the 2010s. Dave Chappelle wouldn't be able to run his old show in the current cultural climate.

I watched Chapelle's Netflix special last night, and BOTH my wife (sitting next to me on the couch) and I were laughing out loud! If you're already a fan, you'll love it; else, who cares?

Can't you guys come up with another meme that's not so stupid? Of course a gun is needed for a shooting. It's like asking, when has there been a car wreck when there wasn't a car involved.

Dear Goat,

If guns were regulated like cars, there might be fewer shootings of innocents. You would seem to have refuted your own argument. Good job.

Frankly, I am looking forward to sharing the highway with nearly-sentient trucks; in lieu of meth-addled, sleep-deprived hillbilly drivers. Now, I will be the first to admit my stereotypical driver is wrong, but the point remains. Driverless semis are coming, and three trailers will be the norm. Similarly, removing people from railroad locomotive cabs will eventually happen as well. The advent of Positive Train Control, system-wide, will happen. Watch for the complete elimination of grade crossings, both urban and rural.

Humans have become too stupid and slow to be responsible for transportation safety.

Goat,

Nearly everybody can pull out an anecdote about driving a car or truck over 250K miles. At that range ought we be expecting the vehicle NOT have turned into a rusted-out ----------? My 2000 Taurus (assembled in Chicago in November 1999)is getting close to the mark, but the rocker panels have fallen off, the fenders are rusted through, and the door frames are getting downright nasty. I was making jokes about driving it until the doors fell off; but that's less funny now.
