Must Use More Sources
Anyone who only chooses to rely on one source of news is a moron. IMO everyone should view as many sources as possible. I use CNN, FAUX, BBC, Radio Moscow, Al Jazeera...ect, then form my own opinion.
Is it possible for any major news provider not to be biased?? In a perfect world I guess NPR should come close.

we both know you can do that sort of target practice with a fucking air rifle
Here is a story about an air rifle that can kill you dead, I have a 22 cal beeman that will get it done also
I was contacted by a friend Paul Wald from "Salt Creek Life" and he was telling me about a article he had read about deer hunting with an air gun. Ya you heard me correctly an air gun. He thought that might make a good post and I have to say I agree with him. I have never heard of a air gun be powerful enough to kill a deer.
During my research I came across this story which I would like to share a part of it with you.
Missouri Deer Hunt
By: Jim Chapman
I’d been in the blind for about a half hour when a doe came marching down the hillside and stopped about 35 yards to browse. A second deer walked in behind and I saw a flash of antler, but he was behind the doe and I could get a good look. Then the doe drifted away and I brought the gun to shoulder and lined up the scope crap, only three points to a side! The doe had moved out to my left and was reaching up to nibble from a small tree at about 60 yards, and I sat with the gun poking through the recently vented mesh window and the crosshairs resting right where I imagined the heart. I was having a mental debate whether to take the shot or not, then reasoned I wanted something for the freezer. I squeezed off the shot and the doe flinched, walked 10 yards and dropped down dead.
People kill people, you can take my gun or ban them, I can make one if I want it bad enough, or go buy one on black market.
All banning guns would do is expand a black market for them, and guarantee only law and criminals would have them, it reminds me of pot being illegal, if it wasn't then there would be no need to have drug cartels controlling it and profiting from it, while making criminals out of a user.
