Deadliest Mass Shooting In US History - Las Vegas
At the end of the day, you can get rid of guns entirely and there will still be attacks with massive casualties due to truck/plane attacks, bombings, knife attacks, etc. Not saying we shouldn't pursue gun control... but I believe that guns are being painted as the sole issue when it's really just one part of a much larger problem.

Over time, it would likely reduce gun crimes. But IMO it is a cultural issue as much as a legal one. Guns and violence are part of the national identity of the USA. And you don't change that by changing a law. However it could be the first step. As far as the gun I fired, it was one of many... there is no shortage of "gun collectors" in Canada, especially in Alberta.

But just because they are illegal doesn't mean you can't get them... that's my point... you can ban assault rifles but if someone really wants one, he will get it. I'm not against banning them, for the record. I just have my doubts about how effective it would be. The AK-47 is banned in Canada but I've held and fired one so...?

3 stars + HH deadmonton edition
Well it's not impossible, it would just be very time-consuming. A restless spirit like yourself probably has plenty of time to spare So I guess I'll expect the report on my desk by Wednesday morning.

"year of the catch" and PI rules.
Yeah and I think that was a factor that was ignored when making the rule changes. The offences would have caught back up anyways, but the league panicked and changed the rules to make receivers nigh untouchable. Now it's shoot-the-lights-out offence almost every game. But I can't say I haven't enjoyed it.

Guns exist, they're not going away. You can't put Pandora back in the box. You can outlaw, regulate, or whatever. But if an evil person wants to get his hands on an assault rifle, he will be able to do so. Legally or otherwise.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Nice pickup for Edmonton. Surprised that the Ticats would let him go just for neg list players. At least Hamilton is being reasonable and acknowledging that they are out of the race so they can acquire some assets for the future.

"year of the catch" and PI rules.
Incredible that just 3 years ago we only saw 2 receivers break 1000 yards. It could be more like 15 this year.

NHL Injury Watch 2017/18 season
I wouldn't say the team is injury prone. Every team deals with injuries. We're actually pretty healthy right now.

3 stars + HH deadmonton edition
I thought the offence and special teams underperformed last night but the defence had one of their best games. It is nice that an off-night for this offence means a few dropped passes rather than a handful of turnovers. 1. Chris Randle 2. Andrew Harris 3. Jovan Santos-Knox Happy honker goes to Andrew Harris for recovering the botched handoff before Edmonton could get on it.

CFL Toss Up of the Week: Regina at Toronto
Sask is gonna roll TO. They are just a better team. TO's offensive line is a huge liability and what Ray has accomplished while constantly being under pressure is remarkable. But I don't think they will be able to handle the Riders.

TSN 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5
TSN3 is the Winnipeg channel. They showed the beginning of the Bomber game as the rest of the Argo game continued on the other channels. The Jets game was supposed to be online on TSNGo but that was a nightmare. It didn't work until the 3rd period and even then they mistakenly spent half the time in a birds eye view from 500 feet away. Just total incompetence from TSN this weekend.
