I would love to attend any CanJam, but I don’t have the opportunity to even travel to cities in Russia…
I would love @hawaiibadboy to attend the expo and show off the ZE51B.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood. I’ll be attending the LA/Irvine CanJam and I thought you meant you were coming to that one.
Or that you showed off yours at one of them

Better to live in a country where you don’t need a gun and neither does anyone else. And if they have one, imprison them!

You realize that the ones that do the imprisoning need the guns, right? I don’t believe that we’ll come to agreement, so all I will say is be thankful for what you have and the peace you enjoy.

some people still think…

I think you will find that the British Police force is essentially unarmed. We do have armed response units, but for the greater part (99%) we imprison felons without the use of firearms. If you give people guns, regardless of whether they are law enforcement officers or not, you are going to end up with dead people. The Dunblane massacre epitomizes this point!

Dave, you’re a nice guy and like I said we have fundamental disagreements on even the philosophical and historical basis of what you’re talking about. Chalk it up to a cultural difference if you want, I’m just going to leave it at that.

You are equally a nice guy. And like you said we shall agree to disagree. Just pointing out the British perspective, no offence meant. Take care.

I think it’s a very interesting discussion whenever I speak to a European about US gun culture. Err…I mean a European or a Brit. lol

I’m a Brit, and all I’ll say is there are very different measures needed in:
- a country where guns never started broad circulation
- a country whose populace are already all gun owners before they even form government
Seems a bit silly to think the same solutions would get the same results. Want all the law abiding citizens to obey an edict to hand in their guns? That would be a massacre.
I’ll leave off on this one post. There are more nuanced aspect to the whole thing, but that huge and obvious difference in the countries and therefore the policies needed to keep people safe is worth keeping track of.
It’s like bragging about our public transport which is entirely feasible in a country as small and densely populated as ours, but doesn’t scale up to a place the size of the US where everything is so spread out.

Second Amendment
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
An attempt to take away the 2nd is deemed a prelude to taking away the 1st
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Constitution of the United States of America has an oft overlooked “right”:
“whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
It’s when the people believe the elected leaders no longer represent them or their values.

That’s why I steadfastly hold onto my pair. I don’t always reach for them, but when I do, I remember why they have a permanent spot. The good news is that there will eventually be more of them, just not the launch version.

This is around half that.
She was cool after that.

There are certain sets that are more than just a pair of IEMs. It’s more like portable audio history. The STORM I think is just one of them…

that is always a recurring theme in my house
then I lay out a fictional financial plan that almost makes sense…just like you did
“well honey…I sold THAT so I’m not really spending any additional funds to buy THIS”
and then she says…" after you sold THAT, do you have those funds in your pocket…NO…well then you Have spent money "
then I drop Economics 101 on her and say " I’m just inserting money back into the system so as to keep it in perpetual motion " …which is true
My wife…who has a Doctorate … " who are you trying to convince…me or yourself "
edit…long live Eazy
