pippy! are there any good rock albums in that amazon $3.99 deal? - tRuMaN Apr 1, 08:43 1
- Can someone link me to this list? I'm not seeing a $3.99 album sale when I go there. -- nm - pmb Apr 1, 08:47
There are only 476 7-Elevens in Canada. Seems like more. Hmm. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 08:38 1

Mandatory gun background checks face long odds in the Senate... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 1, 08:31 20
- I just do not get this. I don't get it at all. I can't understand one bit why people would fight this. - Jim Apr 1, 08:35 13
  - if obama said he liked clean air, republicans would start burning tires in the yard -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 1, 12:28
  - Having background checks also means having a giant database that includes lists of people who shouldn't have guns, and people who have guns. - Roger More Apr 1, 08:40 2
    - I know you're being funny here...but that database already exists. -- nm - Jim Apr 1, 08:46 1
      - I know - but how good is the information in it? Does every state report to it properly? Does every gun vendor have to run background checks through it - Roger More Apr 1, 08:50
  - I personally hate the cycle this stuff goes in. We will have another shooting and it will get ramped up to 11. AGAIN. - Epiphany Apr 1, 08:39
  - Even more ridiculous is that the population (including both parties and even NRA members) is in favor of it. It makes no sense at all. -- nm - pmb Apr 1, 08:37 5
    - and gun companies probably are as well, but they will never speak against the NRA -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 1, 08:44 2
      - that's a stretch - znufrii Apr 1, 08:46 1

    - other way around - znufrii Apr 1, 08:42
    - Except bodegas are independent. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 08:34 1
      - I know. I meant, I thought they had a policy against chained convenience. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 08:39

    - The ape took longer to die in his version than the original movie was long. - Will Hunting Apr 1, 07:59 2
      - Well, I don't think it was deserved for LOTR3, but editing is more than just trimming the length of a film fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 1, 08:01 1
        
        Yeah, but it's all splicing a movie together to maximize it's effectiveness. - Will Hunting Apr 1, 08:07
