It always makes me laugh how scared of weapons the euros are when compared to Americans.

Teach safety, remove the forbidden fruit aspect, all good.

Also having difficulty with the A-Stan reference.

So teaching kids about weapons=they go off and "fight for an oil company" and lose "their legs or genitals".

Yeah, this guy is a douche.

its almost like sex ed. people are soo freaking scared to talk about these things with children and in the end teen pregnancy and STD's are rampant.

Im all for professionals teaching younger people how to take care of a gun. Knowledge on how to do things whether it be dangerous or not is better than ignorance.

Yeah, the us leads the world in the least amount of gun violence. Stupid europeeens

True, but not a fallacy of being able to own a gun properly. Other things about our society plays a role.

Look at Sweden (or Switz?) and you'll see it can be done. I personally believe things like columbine, the theatre shooting, VA tech could be avoided if Americans rose to learn how to defend themselves against criminals who couldn't care less about the laws. American society should embrace defending themselves. It won't happen until people feel more confident about the 'dirty' notion of owning a gun/

Sweden is an example of how it can be done. I am talking in a mere sense of 'if you're going to have it be legal in the first place...' sense rather than legal vs. illegal. But hard to imagine mass murders caring whether it is legal or not, and the resons behind these kinds of behaviors dwell in completeley different areas than whether a gun is legal or not.

So my main point if basically if you legalize it, and have a right for self-defense it will work much better when these things are embraced rather than shunned.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
