I'm OK with trimming the fat. Being at 11 would be great.
OK who goes?

The statues are a part of history, which is part good, and part bad.

History is being erased, and I'm not quite sure how I completely feel about that, other than sad for right now.

Chicago has a prominent roadway called Columbus Drive.

What will Columbus, Ohio be called?

How far is this gonna go?

No, it's opinion.  What offends one person may be treasured by another, and vice versa.

I'm fine if a locality decides on its own to move a statue from here to there.  I personally don't view statues as being "history".  I know many in the south were intended as reminded to a certain race that the white folks ended up winning after all.

Is it being erased? It's not likely people will forget about Christopher Columbus, but they are learning about his history of torture and genocide. When people take the time to learn history it seems likely their feelings about something may change.

All of that has been known for years and years and years. It was taught when I was in grammar school.

My dim recollection of history that I was taught was sort of that there are heroes, mostly OUR guys, and culprits, their guys, and there is little in between.

I didn't pay much attention, I memorized whatever was needed to pass the test and forgot it quickly though.

Then why the consternation about it? Isn't is pretty reasonable to not have tons of admiration for such a guy?

The two recent adds, for sure. Then, I guess you'd have to look at the far Eastern and far Western schools and make a tough call. Or, you stay at 12, play 10, move MSU West and move PU East.

I laughed at one party claiming the history of the other party was racist and therefore it should be banned.

Maybe they could ban them both?

Why?  Who has an interest in removing the numbers?



The person selling the gun, if somehow the serial number can be traced to him (her)

It can't, these things are not registered in most locations.  I think they keep the purchase record for one year and throw it out, something like that.

There is no comprehensive national system of gun registration. In fact, federal law prohibits the use of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to create any system of registration of firearms or firearm owners.5

A limited system of federal firearms registration was created by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. ยง 5801 et seq. The National Firearms Act (NFA) was enacted in 1934 to impose an excise tax and registration requirements on a narrow category of firearms, including machine guns, short-barreled shotguns or rifles, and silencers, and these weapons must also be registered under the NFA.6
