Re: “Flake's Background-Check Problem

Senator Flake has stated from the start that he will not support 'universal' background checks because they will compel every gun owner to take the prospective buyer and their gun to a FFL before they may transfer it. This means the seller must transfer their firearm to the FFL, the potential buyer must complete the ATF From 4473 then the FFL must call the NICS and get approval before the firearm can be transferred to the prospective buyer.

What happens if the NICS sends back a deny?

Will the FFL give the firearm back to its owner? Remember, they owner had to turn it over to the FFL and the FFL had to transfer it in to their inventory.

Will the FFL now have to make the original owner complete the ATF Form 4473 and call the NICS before they may give them their firearm back?

Does private property no longer mean it is OWNED and private?

Why is a firearm different from any other privately owned product?

Those who are working towards their goal of 'universal' background checks talk of "gun violence" yet I've never seen a firearm shoot someone on its own, it takes a person or a mechanical device to make it fire. We do not have a "gun violence" problem, we have a People violence problem yet they do not want to discuss the issue of violent people performing violent acts.

Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself

Jana, my point is, that in civil conversation with strangers, you use appropriate restraint in your choice of words. Else, you're percieved as a degenerate slob. Jana your point is?

Mammey, haven't you heard? Well-behaved women seldom make history. But at least their lives aren't degraded, right?

Re: “Flake's Background-Check Problem

Ldonyo...Calling people names in the Alinsky tradition, does NOTHING to solve the problem, in fact, it only makes things worse. Do you and your 12 friends have anything "CONSTRUCTIVE" to say?

Re: “A Passed-Out-Drunk ASU Student Was Left At a Hospital With a Wheelchair and A Note

Completely agree with Laura. While they may have seen "The Hangover" too many times, at least they got him help instead of leaving him to die, especially with that BAC. I'd add that charging his friends will only make kids more reluctant to even seek help for friends who need it. As a society, we don't seem to have issues with creating safe haven policies for unwanted babies. I think this is along that line of thinking. It's more sad that these kids were so scared of the consequences of getting caught that they felt the need to abandon him in the first place.

Re: “The Folks at Amy's Baking Company In Scottsdale Have Gone Insane [Update: They Were 'Hacked']

LOL! 25 likes and 1 dislike on my comment about "Kathy Parker"? I wonder who the dislike is from. Yalla Yalla, it's Christmas! Meow. I re-read "Kathy Parker's" review on Google and noticed that she refers to Yelp as YELP, just as Amy/Samy do. Yelp is the name of a company, not an acronym.

Re: “The Folks at Amy's Baking Company In Scottsdale Have Gone Insane [Update: They Were 'Hacked']

I found the whole Kitchen Nightmares episode so unbelieveable I had to watch it OnDemand "three" times to believe the behavior I saw. It is inconceivable, to me, that two fully grown people...Amy has to be late 40's early 50's and Samy has to be 20 years older, which makes him late 60'
s early 70's... could behave in such a fashion running a business. The two of them are clearly completely out of control and really should not be in charge of of anything, not even themselves. I am really embarrassed for them.

Taking server's tip is the lowest of low. Run head first into the wall really hard, Sammy.

Re: “A Passed-Out-Drunk ASU Student Was Left At a Hospital With a Wheelchair and A Note

Thank God they took him to the hospital! Too many times we hear the stories where the companions fail to do anything for "fear of getting in trouble" and the over-imbiber dies.

It does appear that some Yelp images on their personal FB account were manipulated. Check out user samyamy.bouzaglo on FB.

I have never been so completely entertained by such a train-wreck saga. I thought the deranged sorority-girl email was comedy gold, but this leaves it in the dust. Those two women MUST be related.

Re: “The Folks at Amy's Baking Company In Scottsdale Have Gone Insane [Update: They Were 'Hacked']

You know it's odd, I was first reading the restaurant reviews on Google and came across a positive review by a Kathy Parker, in the midst of many negative reviews (yes, most claiming they had never been to the restaurant, but had seen Nightmare Kitchens). This Kathy Parker, and it would appear the one on here as well, has a tendency to occasionally CAPITALIZE certain words for emphasis. I noticed that Amy/Samy tend to do the same thing as well. This doesn't mean that Kathy is Amy or Samy, but it does make me wonder.

Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign

"How do you know they weren't hacked? You don't. You just can't resist judging others negatively even when confronted with possible mitigating evidence."

Yeah, but odds are really good that they weren't, St. Saintly, so unclutch those pearls. People might be more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if they hadn't spent the past few years acting like anthropomorphic taints.

Uh, no I won't contribute a buck. WTF? Are you serious? Talk about a scam. Anyone who gives you money is an idiot on par with Amy and Samy.

Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign

There is no way they got hacked. If you look at their timeline this was posted on October 3, 2012

"We like to call them the “Camel Toe Mafia” just a bunch Pussies hiding behind a computer screen. Or working for YELP"

And yet no post after it saying they have been hacked. These posts were clearly written by them and now they are trying to do some damage control but its too late!
