Kansas State Football / Re: Why so sad Cats?

My name is Pendergast and I am sad because the head football coach is suffering from dementia and the athletic director is suffering from testicular absentia.

"Played hardest part of the schedule without one of our best players (Stokes)."

Don't be obtuse, he won with his own players.  He improved upon an already great program at USD, turned Stanford into a top tier PAC team, and there's obviously not enough data for Michigan, and your statement doesn't apply to the NFL, where he simply kicked ass and took names.  Comparing him to oscar Weber would be like comparing you to someone with above average intelligence.

32
I find myself very apathetic about the whole thing, which is very unusual for me regarding any Cats sport.  After the game I just thought, huh, that was interesting.  And no fucks were given.  Sad state of affairs.

33
Oh. On here? Pfffft. I could have told you we had idiots posting on here. Fwiw I see Harbaugh as a famous name that's rise is due mostly to that and not much else. What has he done? Nothing thar a crap ton of other coaches haven't done.

USD 2003 : 8 - 2
USD 2004 : 7 - 4

Stanford 2006 : 1 - 11
Stanford 2007 : 4 - 8

49ers 2010 : 6 - 10
49ers 2011 : 13 - 3 (Lost in NFC championship game, Coach of the Year)

Michigan 2014 : 5 - 7
Michigan 2015 : 10 - 3 (Defeated #19 Florida 41-7)

I don't think a lot of coaches can turn things around like he did at Stanford, San Francisco, and Michigan. People view Harbaugh as a great coach for the same reason Snyder is viewed as a great coach, they turned program(s) or team(s) around, and sustained success.

Hello All...

The four big wreaths at the front of the monument are missing.  They were there yesterday but not today.  If anyone volunteered to take them down...THANK YOU. But we would like them back. 

So, please keep a look out for a white car and four Christmas wreaths. 

Thanks!!
Drew

What if they went out there and just completely curb stomped them?! Like 38-3 or something?  :crossfingers:

3?  Zero  :gocho:

Maybe outright banned in 7 states; however, not all NFA items are treated the same in every state.  Many states restrict varying amounts of the items if they do not ban all NFA items.  Hence, you need to look up the definition of "false" and "unequivocal" in order to use them properly.

Further, if waiting 6 to 18 months to obtain an item, that is already made, and usually displayed to you before purchase, is not lengthy, then Webster needs to be alerted.  And while 18 months is based on personal experience, here's a graph showing it's within a year nearly all of the time for impartiality sake:

You will note, that E-filing has helped tremendously, that changes nothing; however, regarding your tripe.

Let's say you get lucky, it takes 30 to 60 days to receive an item that was ready to go when you bought it (good rough ridin' luck).  It's still "lengthy".  The longest wait for a firearm in the country is 10 days, so minimum 300% times that is by definition, "lengthy".  That word is terrible, I must stop using it.

Therefore, the windmills, or lies, however you want to characterize them, are your own.

39
Your definition does not fit your accusation.  And for eff's sake I gave a general description for anyone unaware of the change for discussion purposes.  You're tilting at windmills.

Thank you for that. No offense but I'm not reading those pro gun sites. A few comments and questions.

1. You mentioned that the ban on these class III items are local in nature, so I'm confused on the effect of the executive order.
2. The sign off is complete horse crap and ripe for abuses. If you think for instance me living in a highly rural area with a percentage of african american citizens at roughly one percent is as likely to get signed off on as let's say the sheriff's cousin with a minor criminal history of drug or alcohol offenses then you are just not being honest. (you being the generic reader not you personally, pendergast, I don't want to get hung up on that)
3. Since the sign off system can be manipulated isn't it better to just have these people's prints on record anyway? I mean who in the eff needs a silencer?
4. The gun trust thing is odd and confusing and I have no idea how it's legal.

1. The order effectively lifts any impromptu bans by Law Enforcement officials who refuse to sign the application for an NFA item
2. Agreed
3. I'm not sure personally, I don't have a huge problem with it, the gun trust phenomenon is only recent in nature, regarding silencers, I'll just say I disagree, they make target shooting much more fun, and protect your ears, most gun enthusiasts develop hearing issues
4. It was ingenious actually, Trusts allow you to do many things to protect yourself and your wealth, you should look into one

42
For those actually interested, I'm never quite sure who just wishes to argue and who might find information interesting...

An NFA (National Firearms Act) or Class III item (there are many names and words used) is an Item described within the NFA as prohibited unless you go through a lengthy process to get a stamp or license for the item (from short barreled weapons, to automatic weapons made before 19-something, to silencers, etc.).  In many states, NFA items are prohibited, in Red states, they are typically allowed.  The process involves a $200 fee, fingerprinting at a local Law Enforcement office, sign off by your local high-ranking Law Enforcement Official, and 6 to 18 months of waiting while the Bureau of ATF (and really big fires) processes the paperwork and does a stringent background check.

In many areas that an NFA item is otherwise legal, the local high-ranking Law Enforcement Official may simply refuse to sign your paperwork, meaning you may not apply for the item.  To subvert this, creating a Trust or Gun Trust has become very popular.  As the Trust is not a person, the process was made simpler by eliminating finger printing and the local Law Enforcement sign off.

For obvious reasons the ATF did not like this, so they have been considering changes (ATF 41F).  That change was finalized with this Executive order.  The general change is, the complete elimination of the Law Enforcement sign off for individual applicants, and that the Trust creator and anyone in the Trust intending to use the NFA item must submit fingerprints, photo ID, etc. so that a background check can be implemented.  Thus making NFA items accessible in many more areas (without a trust), while not restricting them in any new areas.  Thusly it can be viewed as a win for Pro-Gun persons.

This is all a general summation, please research further if you would like precise details.

Edit: the most common items are silencers, and short barreled rifles, there is active legislation that will most likely not pass, but would eliminate silencers from the NFA

It's amazing how little the average person cares to observe an issue from multiple view points.  I wonder how many fewer shootings we'll have after we limit the number of guns sold at gun shows, by a single digit percentage at best.  The support of wasted time, is nothing more.

It has no effect on anyone who lawfully wants to acquire a firearm. Gun people always spout the stupid crap about the good guys having guns but don't want to do a damn thing about ensuring exactly that happens. Without research I can think of two mass shootings committed by mentally handicapped citizens with guns purchased at gun shows, if you don't think the law is worth it to even save one life then we need to have a different conversation.

What conversation would you like to have my petulant friend?  Since there is no "law" to speak of I really have no clue what you're talking about.  Nonetheless, the tree of liberty must continue to grow.

The bigger impact of the executive order was on the finalization of ATF 41F.  Which strangely can be seen as a win for the pro-constitution citizens.  Out of all this noise, the President pushed forward something that makes it easier to secure an NFA item.  Never saw that coming.

Man, I have no clue as to what you're talking about here, my subscription to gun loon weekly expired in 2012. I can't find anything referencing "ATF 41F" outside of gun blogs and message boards, the most prominent one being something called pafoa or the Pennsylvania Firearms Owners Association. Can you talk about something that has actually been cited by a reputable news source? Also trying to find out what ATF 41F is led me down quite a rabbit hole, can someone tell me why gun enthusiasts who post on the internet speak in so many acronyms, is it fear of the government coming to take their guns?

It's the most significant change from the executive order, which you are "discussing".  If you are unaware of the significance of the order, why discuss it?  "I'm ignorant" seems like an odd response.

possible home game vs steelers?  WHO KNOWS  :excited:
I want the Broncos in the 2nd round, really bad!
Peyton is back. You dorks would lose.

I can now throw further than Peyton Manning at this point.  And I have a torn Labrum.  He's an interception waiting to happen.  If Peyton plays against the Chiefs, it will look just like the last time he played the Chiefs.

any/all of that would matter if it mattered but since his name is payton manning it doesn't.  go cats.

Who is Payton?  I'm sure she's lovely.

Of course not, we're fans of the Chiefs, why wouldn't we talk about Chiefs football?  I can't for the life of me figure out where you're going with all of this nonsense.

Less than 60% of last year's output by Murray.  Seems like a weird point to bring up.
