    The refuge debacle ended up with a guy dead though? Didn't it?

    One of the occupiers was shot and killed. 18 were convicted or pleaded guilty and sentenced.

    I will never understand why responsible gun owners support gun morons. Sailing nerds don't support sailing morons. If this guy thinks he's in Beirut, move to Salt Lake City.

    All I know is, we didn't draft CP3 or D-Will because of him.....and I can't believe he brought a damn gun on the team plane. And then thought he could hide it under a damn pillow.

    Point being, Telfair was put in prison essentially for owning a gun and being a moron. Multiple of the guys who occupied the place walked after trial even though they too were morons, and arguably even more of morons than Telfair. The justice applied against each seems a bit uneven to me.

    Yes it did, but the dude was pulling a gun on law enforcement.

    You need to start checking the facts before making so many exaggerated claims

    He did have a gun in his pocket. It was still there when he was shot, 3 times in the back. That alone should raise questions.

    And this was after an FBI agent already fired two shots at the car with woman inside. Then later lied about it.

    There are people in this very forum who have arsenals like that.

    He was shot reaching for a gun when stopped by law enforcement, there’s even video evidence.

    My point still stands, the justice leveled against Telfair seems a bit harsh compared to what the Bundy’s got — which was freedom. System is broken!

    Yes, but it comes with a very large clip or two or....also easier to aim.

    Waste of a draft pick, certainly - but what a waste of an opportunity to have lived a dream life despite not panning out as a player.

    Wrong draft. We drafted Martell in the CP3 draft.

    Correct. We DIDNT draft CP3 or D-Will because we already had Bassy on the roster and thought he was our point guard of the future

    Asshole Deron Williams specifically said he doesn't want to play in Portland.

    Agree. I knew hunters. They didn't march into Starbucks with guns strapped to their dicks. Most of us own cars. Most of us dislike asshole drivers.

    Certain of that. But the fact remains. They were driving around with them. He is a felon. Smoking pot while driving which in itself is just wrong. Crossing a highway median at night with the lights off. Loaded weapons in the car. Extended magazines that require an additional permit to even own legally.

    Pretty sure most in this forum understand the consequences for their actions. If i do that i go to jail. It's that simple.

    You are quacking at the wrong duck. I know well what AR stands for and a pistol built on an Armalite Rifle Platform lower receiver is commonly called an AR pistol, as opposed to those made by HK and Sig.
