"FBI NOT being politically correct"

I'm sure that the FBI stats include the number gun deaths with a handgun, but it makes everyone feel better to talk only about long guns.

Back pocket GOVT data to counter all the out of state anti gun nazis when the NV legislature takes up the anti gun push next session. Carson City ain’t that far from my house that I can’t make myself a pain in their asses. Plus I kinda know a couple of the legislators that’ll stand up for our rights. I’ve been gathering info since the last session since I now know what they’re gonna bring in.

Must be why the SWAT team pummeled the guy with a hammer a few days ago.

Mac daddy will issue an executive order that all fists must be cut off, except those who he likes and those who give him money.

That was one weird movie. I only saw it once and that was enough.

Like you, I saw the movie only once - the album is far better.

There’s a youtube of David Gilmour & Richard Wright doing “Comfortably Numb” live in a NYC studio. Really nice version.

Little factoids....

The artist - Gerald Scarfe - who did the cover and movie graphics is married to Jane Asher, ex-girlfriend of Paul McCartney.

The Beatles first engineer (up to Rubber Soul), Norman Smith, went on to produce Pink Floyd’s early albums.

Waaay too much coffee already...
