Generally any terrorists who actually bought their guns legally from a licensed dealer (a stupidly small number) had clean enough records to pass their nation's background checks anyway.

Or they just use something where a background check isn't an issue, like a pressure cooker or a commercial airliner.

A smørbrød (literally "butter bread" aka. buttered bread) is a brødskive too, but the term is often used for a bit more ~fancy~ ones that have luxuries such as lettuce or two pieces of bread (aka. a sandwich). :pseudo:

Also rest assured that we do not want more Americans to see the letter ø, because you keep thinking it's a funny o (it's not).

I think it's a funny ö.

But how would a terrorist get onboard a plane? It's not like they can just buy a ticket like anyone else. That's what all that extra security is for, right?

Sandwiches aren't really much of a thing in my country, it's all "brødskive" which is a slice of bread with butter and "pålegg" on top that can be cold cuts, cheese, spreads, etc. A hot dog is definitely not a brødskive. :norway:

This has nothing to do with sandwiches but I love how strange Norwegian looks and sounds

Canada had a national database of guns. They dropped it because it was ridiculously expensive to maintain and didn't help them solve crimes. That whole article was: "The real world doesn't work like CSI but wouldn't it be neat if it did?", ignoring the fact that it *can't*.

Apparently he was a intel officer in the National Guard, which makes me wonder how much of this "volunteering to ride in a unarmored SUV" was being done to get a medal, or because he wanted to shoot at Afghans.

By the sounds of it, they had a national registry of long guns that was barely enforced in the first place, so of course it was useless. That really doesn't say anything about national databases other than that one was a fiasco that was really poorly planned out. It only briefly mentions handgun laws passed previously but doesn't really discuss them at all.

It's good to have a sense of scale.



The Canadian gun registry was sold to the public partially on the CSI angle, but what got most people onboard was a specific scenario: "Officer gets a DA call. On route they can call the CFR, and find out if the resident owns any firearms, and which ones. This allows the officer to prepare for the possible presence of a firearm(s) in the home. If there's no licensee in the home, there's a pretty high chance there's not going to be any surprise guns coming out. If there is, and he's a gun collecting goon with several shotguns, rifles and handguns, then maybe the officer might approach the situation differently".

It all sounded great in theory. I got my license, I registered all my guns, kept all the paperwork in a safe place, etc in case of an inspection (which the police can absolutely do to firearms owners but almost never do). Five years later they cancel the program because it turns out that the police run 24/7 and a call center that runs 9a-8p for LE doesn't exactly jive, so cops stopped calling altogether, defeating the sane-sounding part of the whole thing.

And that's how you blow a billion dollars on a safety program!

You're saying the only reason it didn't work is because it relied on humans in a call center instead of an API the cops could hit from a smartphone?

I had no phone on me the other day but this 3 or 4 y/o kid was running around his dad's SUV screaming "NO VIDEO" as he was being chased by his dad.

It's like dad was trying to get something going for a little youtube and the kid was sick of it.

Funny thing, the Australian had actually provided free skates to the American in that race as a sponsorship prior to the Olympics as he never expected to even make it past the heats let alone actually winning the gold.

Quote from website:

quote:

In an unlikely series of events, short-track speed skater Steven Bradbury became the first Australian to win a gold medal at a Winter Olympics. In Salt Lake City in 2002 he competed in the thousand-metre short-track event. After winning his first heat it seemed that his chances of progressing any further were slim – his quarter-final draw included two of the world’s best skaters, and only first and second placegetters would progress to the semi-final. Bradbury finished third, but one of the other placegetters was disqualified for obstruction, thus giving the Australian a spot in the semi-final.

In the semi-final race he was at the back of the pack. It looked as if he was out of the race, but when three other skaters fell he managed to finish second and secured a berth in the final.

Five skaters took part in the final race. Bradbury was last in the pack, when, in spectacular style, the other four skaters crashed and fell on the last corner. Bradbury passed the pileup and took the gold. An Australian legend was born and the term ‘to do a Bradbury’ was very quickly established in the Australian vernacular, and continues to be used to this day.
