    If you have faith then you really do have to be "in church" for it to count?

    Yes, it's seriously scary, isn't it? Many I've spoken to want to limit guns but some of them are rabid NRA supporters and keep trotting out the mantra of "the only way to stop this is to arm everyone ........"
    It defies belief :emoticon-0121-angry

    Obviously something needs to be done with their attitude towards guns & the laws surrounding the purchase and possession of them. The question is though, how would they even begin to go about banning them? A gun amnesty? Restricting the supply of ammo? Limiting possession to military barracks or shooting ranges? (I believe they do this in Switzerland) - at the end of the day the problem has become so widespread and out of control that it's really hard to see a solution any time soon.

    If it is possible to microchip a dog, your car, computer, why not a gun? There's a case of a sniper firing on vehicles in another part of the US. A microchip on the gun could tell us who the owner is of fired gun.

    Almost in the oh-so-funny (not) words of Kenny Everett "Let's go and bomb the Americans".

    It would be the GOP's solution.

    Just fixed a rusted pad lock with wd40 and a hammer. Kept thinking "this won't work, I'm going to need bolt cutters". Now it's worked, I feel more satisfied than I think I should.

    I find a hammer solves many a problem.

    Been gyming since 18 with no bad injuries. As soon as I did my first ever burpee I break my thumb. So I just blame them.

    If you do only one good thing today it must be to take action to save the BBC.

    You can have just this or you can have the BBC. Make your mind up and act now.

    Why on earth would you voluntarily do a burpee?

    I got asked to ha. I was doing fine until my thumb snapped right behind me. It was basically my ligament that broke my thumb, due to it pulling the bone apart. Even when I am a PT I won't be making people do it.
