There's a significant difference, in that it's fairly easy to prevent a kid from accessing a physical item you possess. That's something that is entirely under the control of the parent. Restricting who the kids associate with isn't. Not that I agree with prosecuting parents in either case...

...and property taxes...

Definitely agree with the sentiment, though I think this case was an easier win (for the wrong side) than the Crumbleys (parents of the Oxford High School shooter). In their case, they failed to secure their firearms, and they possibly missed some warning signs. In this case, the father was...

Not a fan of this trend of convicting parents for the crimes of their children, though I will admit this was a pretty egregious case. His son outright idolized school shooters.

So, then, you are opposed to alcohol being made legal? It is a drug, it was once illegal, and it was made legal by the same people who ripped many of your gun rights away. You seem to be hung up on marijuana, not realizing or intentionally disregarding the fact that all of the same arguments...

I kind of wish they'd do that near me, though it would be an eminent domain nightmare. I've seen too many Amish traveling late at night on dark roads in dark buggies. They are required to have battery-operated lights now, which helps a lot, but I still see accidents waiting to happen all the...

I'll second this. I didn't start working to support myself until the early 90s, but I was constantly working 2-3 jobs while attending school just to barely scrape by. What got me out of that cycle was picking lucrative majors in college that had excellent job prospects, and working my ass off to...

That would almost make one think that mental illness is something we should be concerned about! But, nah, must be the guns.

Eh, this is a twisting of words. Read the article and what he really said. He's not saying that students should be required to protest, he's saying that this is a situation that needs to be protested against. Big difference.

Blatant first amendment violation.

I could get behind mandatory gun safety training, but certainly not like this. Make it a requirement to graduate high school, like the Economics or Participation in Government classes were when I was in high school. That way, no government gating to exercise a right. There's other issues that...

Huh. You know, now that you mention it, I bet that's why I have to replace stuff in my For 8N every couple of years. It was definitely not built for ethanol.

Word now is that it was apple cider vinegar. So... it was acid!

We have those all over the place where I live now. Was really handy when I first moved here and had no well yet... would fill up buckets for flushing the toilet, and occasionally do a side-of-the-road scrub-down of myself. My daughter was fascinated by this and decided to wash her hair there one...

Radically unconstitutional, of course. But there is one option that would be legal and seems pretty obvious... ban CC (only allow OC.).
