What has celebratory got to do with it? When you became famous you can't be allowed to do anything dangerous??
apparently to some conservatives, celebrities should only shut up and sing or act... they do not possess the intelligence to do things that a regular citizan can do, like speak up politically or now apparently fly an aircraft.
My whole life
was like a picture

This is just g'bye for now...
JFK junior,Lynrd skynrd, SRV,Thurman Munson and now Cory lidle..yet the list goes on and on. When will the government step in and regulate flying by citizens?
While we're at it, we should ban cars too. For every airplane death, there's 1000 automobile deaths..
The government already regulates both guns and planes.
When all is said and done, $100 says that this plane crashed because of certain no-fly zones in Manhattan that forced Liddle to make a turn he was not qualified to make.
you forgot john denver BTW. But even if you hadn't, it wouldn't have prevented this from being the dumbest post this week. congrats!
Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, the Big Bopper and Roberto Clemente too! And it's been much longer than a week since I've seen anything dumber than the initial post.

I be careful some of you, Kat shut down my innocent thread after someone started name-calling. Maybe it's ok depending on your political leanings as it has always been here.

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
When will the government step in and regulate flying by citizens?
If citizens don't fly who will???????
People have accidents every day, whether it is in the air, on land, or in/on water, the only reason we heard about this one as much as we did is becuase the guy made millions of dollars. It is a shame what happened, but it happens every day........people die, life goes on.....
Don't mean to sound too harsh.....but shit....
People die of heart attacks every day too, does that mean that the government should regulate how many big macs I eat?? (which I don't BTW...)
Cheers,
NEWAGEHIPPIE
Keep your eyes open, eventually something will happen....
I think it's great so many celbrities die in plane crashes. It makes it really easy to play Trivial Pursuit.
You get the question, "how did so and so die?'
Answer has to either plane crash or drug overdose, easy, my turn again !!!
BTW, who was teh creative thinker who said teh govt regukates guns in America ?? Is that by ensuring every numbskull has one ??
Sure, but a town of 800 people in Idaho is not a state, nor is it the federal government. Furthermore, a "recommendation" of gun ownership is not a law requiring it.
Sure, but a town of 800 people in Idaho is not a state, nor is it the federal government. Furthermore, a "recommendation" of gun ownership is not a law requiring it.
No, but the article does mention one town in Georgia where it's required, although they admit it's impossible to enforce.
Anyway, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time, I just posted the article because it seemed relevant. I agree with you that we have plenty of gun laws, most of which do nothing at all to stop gun-related crimes.

The appointment of the minister of the department of running with scissors can't be far behind.

nope (as I've said numerous times) just the stuff he's responsible for. He gets a pass on this one.

He never has a point.

That would be me.
There are no federal or state laws ensuring that "every numbskull" has a gun, which partly explains why gun owners are a minority in America.
However, there are plenty of other gun laws.
