    Gun laws do they work

    Exactly. He's not here to actually debate. He just wants a place to post ramblings. Its futile to reply to his posts.

    Gun laws do they work

    Dick, we live in the same country. You are incredibly confused. If you admit that you're debating, then you are posting/supplying excerpts for the purpose of providing support for your argument.

    VBA Not Working... at all?

    I would change these to use the On_Click event. Then add code to that that looks something like: Private Sub Check85_Click() If Me.Check85 = True Then Me.[Event_Street] = Me.[Billing_Street] Me.[Event_City] = Me.[Billing_City] Me.[Event_State] = Me.[Billing_State]...

    Gun laws do they work

    When you provide facts I will be certain to read them. Posting random chain letters you receive from others is not posting facts. Its more a case of people that disagree with you don't want to have to construct your argument for you. We've all come to hold the positions that we do through...

    VBA Not Working... at all?

    If you can post a version of your database, it will probably much easier to explain.

    Is CNN not part of the mass media? http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/10/us/home-invasion-gun-rights/index.html?iref=allsearch ABC News? http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/mom-shot-intruder-inspires-gun-control-foes-18175262 And I know you consider this group to be "news"...

    VBA Not Working... at all?

    You probably are already aware of this, but as you said you're new to VBA I will mention it just in case. This: Private Sub Check85_AfterUpdate() If Me.Check85 = True Then Me.[Event_Street] = Me.[Billing_Street] Me.[Event_City] = Me.[Billing_City] Me.[Event_State] = Me.[Billing_State]...

    Gun laws do they work

    You're free to do whatever you like Dick. I'm just pointing out that it is disrespectful to other forum goers to post a bunch of gibberish without trying to make a point or argue a cause. I was trying to make sure I wasn't crossing the line from explaining to attacking. Exactly.

    Gun laws do they work

    On a discussion forum you generally post sources or excerpts to strength your argument or to refute someone's argument. Posting a bunch of gibberish without referencing it is simply lazy. If we wanted to read just gibberish, we could Google "pro-gun arguments", for example.

    Gun laws do they work

    Of course not, I'm certain that it does have an affect. I think it particularly has an effect on young kids and early teenagers. This is why games are rated, and particularly violent games are not able to be purchased by individuals under 17 years of age. As with many things, this is an issue...

    Gun laws do they work

    You're trying to equate 2 completely different scenarios. A gun owner buying guns to defend against the government is one thing (as silly as it is). A fanatical group stockpiling assault rifles and modifying them to fully automatic is another. I would certainly hope so. I would hate to...

    Gun laws do they work

    Right, but the point is that if, in the incredibly unlikely situation that the president ordered the military to turn their weapons on civilians, there are processes in place to be able to remove the president from office. Our presidents are not dictators, they do not rule for life. I...

    Gun laws do they work

    I'm not an expert on the constitution, but the president is the Commander in Chief and all of the military reports to him. Each branch of the military has rules that it must follow, and again while I am no expert, I am pretty sure there are safeguards in these rules about firing on American...

    Gun laws do they work

    I think its something more along the lines of "Why should government set policy based on something that has never happened before and is not at all likely to happen?" Aliens have never invaded the earth before, but it is definitely possible. However, we don't all go around wearing tin foil...

    Gun laws do they work

    Wow. No, our government is not supposed to be two sides. Our government is supposed to be made up of duly elected officials. If all Democrats are legally elected and 0 Republicans, than that is exactly what is "supposed to be". Checks and balances refers to the three different branches of...

    Gun laws do they work

    Or just be told it from a young age, and then see it reinforced in books, movies, and other non-mainstream sources. In my state alone, there is a militia that stockpiles weapons and such. When President Obama was elected, there was a lot of talk among these groups of "taking back our country"...

    Being chased by police in USA.

    Americans are very individualistic. While Hollywood may flood the world with tv shows and films, the average American does not feel any connection to it. We don't feel like they are "our" movies. As such, its sort of like you're asking us to defend someone that we have no interest in...

    Gun laws do they work

    No, I was not implying, I was asking. Some people don't bother to read a thread, particularly if it is longer, before they post their own comments. Therefore I was questioning if your previous post was a reaction to this thread, or to the situation in general. No one can agree on how you...

    The Pending "Fiscal Cliff"

    Boehner couldn't even get his own people to support his Plan B measure, which in its self had no chance of passing. I don't see the two sides coming to an agreement. We'll go over the cliff, and then President Obama will purpose legislation to lower taxes to current levels for those making...
