I've always been more of a home goods guy. My lamps are soft and ambient. And they are quite stingy with the electricity.
Ferdinand Porsche found the best use. Our Porsche upholstery feels like a gentle, Bavarian shower.

I'm shocked, even though we all knew this was coming. I honestly thought that it would be Sweden or Germany as ground zero.
i love guns. i added 3 this year so far, and may get another 2 with black friday.
i get uncomfortable any time a politician mentions gun control. as others have pointed out I believe this is really a path to confiscation.
some of my best memories have been made while shooting or hunting with my dad. it's definitely been something to keep us in contact more throughout the years. i love guns.

Justices Reject Challenge To Local Assault Weapons Ban
http://bigstory.ap.org/087ca5e14bd2497c815c3b7405621d03
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from gun owners who challenged a Chicago suburb's ban on assault weapons.
The justices on Monday refused to hear the case of a Highland Park, Illinois, pediatrician who objected to the city's 2013 ban on semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines.
The federal appeals court in Chicago upheld the Highland Park law, ruling that local governments have leeway in deciding how to regulate firearms.
In October, the federal appeals court in New York largely upheld similar laws in Connecticut and New York, among a handful of states that ban semi-automatic weapons.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly turned away challenges to gun restrictions since two landmark decisions that spelled out the right to a handgun to defend one's own home.

How Many People Have Been Shot in Your Neighborhood This Year?

That's a cool map, but it's not accurate. I know, for example, there have been more than 10 shootings near the university where my wife teaches just since the start of the fall semester, but the map shows only 3 for the whole year.
W.r.t. "new laws to reduce gun violence" they could start by reducing state licensing and regulations that create useless barriers to entry for small businesses, repeal minimum wage laws, and lower business and payroll taxes. Violence in this country is strongly linked to unemployment and poverty.
Pretty comical.Too bad no one pointed out the Constitutional issues with having a no fly list at all.
White House Unable To Explain How Gun Control Will Stop Mass Shootings
Tyler Durden on 12/11/2015
Authored by Steve Watson, originally posted at PrisonPlanet.com
The White House cannot name one single shooting incident that would have been prevented by gun control legislation.
As President Obama prepares executive action to pass further gun control legislation, one errant reporter asked the White House press secretary exactly how such proposals would have prevented any recent mass shootings.
Josh Earnest couldn’t directly answer the question and floundered around repeating the same talking points over and over again.
Reporter Byron Tau referred to a statement made by Sen. Marco Rubio that no mass shootings in recent memory would have been prevented by gun legislation, which even the Washington Post fact-checked as true.
“If not a single recent mass shooting would have been stopped by the kind of gun control measures you champion, are those the right approach to this problem?” Tau asked.
“Well, Byron, I think we’ve been pretty direct and upfront,” replied Earnest, not being very direct and upfront.
“…there is no piece of legislation that Congress can pass that would prevent every single act of gun violence,” Earnest added, avoiding the question.
“I think the case that we have made is one that rests primarily on our concern about national security and our careful consideration of common sense.” he stated, again avoiding the question entirely.
Earnest then diverted the talking point to the terrorist no-fly-list, prompting Tau to follow up, “Were any of the recent mass shooters on the ‘no-fly’ list?”
“Not that I’m aware of,” Earnest admitted. “You’ll probably have to ask the director of national intelligence to confirm that.”
The reporter stuck to the central issue at hand – that gun control legislation is not a fix for mass shootings.
“Can the White House point to a recent mass shooting that would have been stopped by a expanded assault weapons ban or stricter background checks?” Tau asked.
“The evidence seems to be that in all these recent mass shootings, these folks either passed background checks or were very determined to circumvent the strict gun laws that are already on the books.” the reporter added.
Indeed, The shooters at Virginia Tech, the Aurora Colorado movie theater, Fort Hood, Isla Vista, the Washington Navy Yard, the attempted mass killing at Arapahoe High School ALL passed background checks.
The shooter at Washington Navy Yard even managed to buy his firearm after the background check system was supposedly strengthened following the incident at Virgina Tech.
The BATF has also determined that Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the two shooters in San Bernardino, also legally purchased two of the weapons at a gun shop in Corona.
The reporter pressed Earnest, asking “Can you point to any that would have been prevented or stopped by the kind of proposals the White House is championing?”
Earnest again repeated the “common sense” talking point without addressing the actual question and threw in a smattering of empty “national security” rhetoric.
Last week when addressing the same line of questioning, Earnest admitted that further gun control legislation would not have prevented the San Bernardino shooting, and that it is purely “hypothetical” that terrorist incidents could be prevented with such new laws.
While the Obama administration is seemingly hell bent on going after stricter gun control, research from Pew Research Center, the FBI, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reveals that gun violence in the US is actually on the decline, and is at its lowest since the 1960s.
In addition, gun crime, despite an exponential increase in privately owned firearms over the same period, has steadily declined for about 20 years, except for high-profile shootings in gun-free zones.
