RIP Steve Cotter. I went to some of his training seminars in the past, I thought he was a good teacher.

I visited his Instagram page, he looked a lot different than I remembered. Must have lost leaned out even more or something.

Speaking of Crossfit games.

Do the women look more like men than ever before?

Police who attend the same dojo say they are handling about double of daily calls today as before 2020 and Covid.

Like any martial art, it's more about the instructor than it is the art. The Jeet Kune Do I've seen, mostly from a few Dan Inosanto seminars, or people under him, moves a lot like Panantuken (Filipino empty handed arts), but then again Dan Inosanto teaches that as well. I have to say to his credit, ...

I'm four episodes into it. I sometimes ride my stationary bike while watching. Pretty entertaining.

I do wonder about the English speakers, and whether the translations are close to what they were really saying, or simple scripting.

Not terribly surprising. They are also the same people that have no idea what is under the hood and how it works. Those people at least are enlightened enough to know they need gas, but have no idea where it comes from or how it's made.

The problem gun control supporters are trying to address (40,000 firearms death per year) is not relatively small, especially because they are quite preventable. I saw some imbeciles pointing at Abe's assassination like, "LOL gun laws don't work" and ignoring that Japan had 9 firearms dea...

Remember, more people die from auto-erotic asphyxiation than from being shot by an AR-15. When there is a mass shooting, everyone at the event is a terror victim, not just the dead folks. When you auto-erotic asphyxiate, only the guy in the stall next to you is traumatized. Maybe. Is that just a re...

I'm going to ask you, Bram, what Nafod refuses to answer. There are 15,000,000 such rifles in private hands. How do you intend to get them out of circulation? The key is illegality and/or liability. Require insurance to own one, and you’ll see them filling landfills. Even if you required insurance,...

And a different mass shooting on July 4th in Virginia was averted. https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/virginia-local-news/richmond-police-receive-tip-about-planned-fourth-of-july-mass-shooting-arrests-made-and-firearms-seized/ Everything was done correctly. No thought crime police, no red flag law...

Liability?

Should be criminally charged, like the Oxford parents were.

A friend of mine went to high school in Highland Park. A friend of hers was at the shooting with her family. They watched people be shot and killed around them, then fled for their home and hid until the suspect was apprehended. I would like to see a change on this shit ASAP, thank you. What change...

That is not part of the 2nd amendment, as is made clear by the opening predicate, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…” Some people think the 2nd Amendment is vague. Some people think "well regulated" through the glasses of govt regulations of today,...

I’d settle for not ignoring the “well regulated militia” preface that the right is predicated on.

What specifically does that mean to you?

What are the numbers for children children dead by gun shot each year? What's that saying, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics? Getting data the way one would want is often difficult but we'll do the best we can. Data from this link, and the University of Michigan Injury Prevention Center for...

Death by gun shot is the leading cause of death for children now. And also, if you're going to parrot the gun control org's talking points, make sure to parrot their whole official line. " Death by gun shot is the leading cause of death in children and teens now. " Because 18 and 19 year ...

There’s no question that video games are gateway drugs to the real thing. The gun manufacturers used to license their gun designs to the video game makers for use in the games! That all went away when both sides realized it was a bad look following mass shootings. So they saw a problem and correcte...

Guns are unsafe. Allowing torts would lead gun manufacturers to adopt precautionary marketing practices, safer designs, and more supervised sales regimes. Not put them out of business, just steer them to making and selling a product that does less damage to the citizenry. Gun violence costs us bill...

If we removed the artificial block on liability, the market would take care of a lot of this. How? I get some people want the firearm manufacturers to fail. But no one has explained how bankrupting gun businesses will actually stop any mass shootings or active shootings today or within the next cou...

I can’t argue that we’re a violent country, you’ve got great statistics on that. I do feel that the country as a whole is basically standing outside that classroom door while those children are being killed, like those Uvalde cops did, I.e., we’re doing nothing. Just accepting it. Got to break some...

This is a true statement… ‘‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens‘ The USA is a pretty violent country, formed from violence, and we celebrate our history of violence every July. Even without guns, we'd still be pretty violent, and we would never get to the low homi...

... What rules would you all feel comfortable with that would restrict gun access to the mentally unwell? Are you okay with red flag laws, background checks, licensing hurdles, anything? A separate issue becomes what rules would people feel comfortable with that would restrict gun access to perpetr...

Yeah, good point, I am sure it wigs kids out to have to do them. I remember our duck and cover drills in elementary school, the rooms to go to for fallout shelters, etc. It looms. But the drills worked in Uvalde and in other shootings. While the one room was turned into a charnel house for children...
