As a blanket statement, this is very wrong. Some states, in this case specifically dealing with landlord/tenant law, do NOT allow renters to sign away rights. For example, the Revised Code of Washington: RCW 59.18.230 Waiver of chapter provisions prohibited — Provisions prohibited from...

Exactly! Jack Daniels Distillery, Henry Weinhardts, I.G. Farben... they're all a scourge on society! Enough, I say! We should make a constitutional amendment to ban the use of alcohol and those awful narcotics! It's for the children!

Really? Next time you get a cavity filled at the dentist, I'll be expecting you to refuse any tools the doc offers to relieve pain then. Oh, wait. You really didn't mean that then? Huh. What a strange coincidence. Some people misuse guns too, which are useful tools to the vast...

Why wouldn't he? After all, he IS the only professional who's qualified to do that on the show...

How is this getting a "realistic handle" on anything? No gang member is going to suddenly register his/her firearm because of this new one month window.

Why is it so bad to say that this gun design is a BAD DESIGN? Might as well carry around a single action six-shooter with the hammer back all day long; seems just as safe to me.

No. It doesn't. Negligence is negligence. Negligence is negligence no matter how the negligence is caused. Negligent homicide is what I believe is an appropriate charge. He did not commit premeditated murder, and the supposition that he was high or drunk doesn't matter. My...

dogmush, Welcome to THR! I just had to laugh a bit for I often forget that I don't have my location listed -- in other words, I don't live in Washington anymore. I just have my screen name left over from back in the day. However, now that I know what to look for, I can locate...

Neither do I. I agree with Don above. As I just said, I'm playing devil's advocate with these statements. Yup. Exactly. I think the probability of that happening is hovering around zero. I find it rather pathetic, however, that people and law enforcement agencies in general are...

Don't forget that we're talking about newspapers here, in which the cramming of most meaning in the fewest words and space is of primary importance. I can think of few exceptions like "assault weapon" which is longer and more cumbersome than "assault rifle" but since "assault rifle" has a...

I think you got the wrong screen name in that case! :neener: A thing to consider is to make certain that both of those items (your guns and his weed) are separately locked up, with no access between your things. If you don't have access to his room (lock on the bedroom door that's actually...

Oh, .cheese., dude, I think you're misunderstanding or something. Getting a free M-4 for losing weight is only for Chigago cops, not the rest of us! :neener:
