There is no "private party sale loophole" or "gun show loophole." To be a loophole means that there has to be an existing law against it, and due to some quirk, you can still violate the spirit of the law without violating the law itself. But there is no law against private party sales without background checks. The background check law only applies to sales of guns through licensed gun dealers.
First you say there is no loophole. Then you describe what a loophole is. Lastly you describe the laws, which fits your loophole explanation perfectly.

Who do you think will win between Bisping and GSP? Think it will be a tap tap tap then lay and pray affair?
We all haven't chatted much about UFC lately. Jones is such a fcuking disappointment. What a waste of talent, too many demons...
The Jones case is so bizarre. It makes no sense that one sample is tainted and all others clean. But it smells like his chemist fucked up... Such a waste indeed.
I know GSP's been training ever since he quit, so he's definitely in shape. He's not gonna stand and trade with the much bigger Bisping, takedown and GnP will be the recipe.
UD to GSP, although I would love to see a finish of course.
And I think GSP has gotten an unfair rep of being a boring fighter. Look at what happened to Woodley and Hendricks when they reached that level... exactly the same but arguably much more stalling and no attempts to finish the fight.
That's how the game goes at that level, and GSP was simply king of it. Still his fights had nerve and was exciting, albeit not re-watchable if you get what I mean.
-
Now these are some main events!
But GSP is the only one that managed to leave on top... With his legacy secured.
This comeback will either cement him as the GOAT or make him fade into obscurity like so many others.

I don't think we will see this again in our lifetimes - two champions at the top of their respective sports putting it on the line.
I see your point. But to be fair this is exactly what MMA and especially the UFC is.
Boxing champs, jiu jitsu champs, kickboxing champs, wrestling champs, judo champs, karate champs and much more fighting with very limited rules.

I scored it about the same Roman... Two judges gave Conor the first, and the rest to Floyd. How fcuking ridiculous is that? He landed NINE punches in the first three rounds.
-
Just pay the $100 and watch the fight. It's a bottle of wine.
Kinda hard with the servers down... So many people are gonna demand a refund lol.

Can't get that link to work... But got kodi to work...
Here's a new one: http://ripple.is/boxing/618-floyd-mayweath...-conor-mcgregor

Here's a trick that will probably work. I'll just give some pointers, you need to be a bit tech savvy to do this.
- Use a proxy in Hungary
- Load https://www.ufc.tv/video/mayweather-vs-mcgregor (preferable in an incognito window)
- You can now buy PPV for €30
- Once the stream starts, you can turn off proxy and reload the page. You'll still have the stream, but not limited to the proxy bandwidth.
- It might stop at random points, if so turn on proxy, reload, turn off and reload again.
No guarantees, do it at your own risk
Actually fcuk that, a lot easier to click this!

Came here to ask the same question. I don't care enough to spend $100 for the PPV. Ill be stuck at home working, so I'll be unable to go somewhere to watch. As I recall for the Mayweather vs Pacq fight it was steamed for free on a lot of platforms.

They will probably not start until 11:30-midnight local time, so 09:30-10 in the morning Finland time. I say probably, so don't sleep in and blame me if you miss the fight
Actually scratch that, websites are using ET timezone to say when a Vegas event starts... wtf! so about 3 hours earlier than what I said then?
-
What is cheapest HD stream? Local Pay Per Views cost here 60€ and I am not going to pay that much considering that it is 3AM here and my gf will be sleeping and I will watch that alone. It if was 10 guys studio with drinking it would be easier to stomach that cost.

I think it would be hilarious if FM took a dive and had a proxy place a massive bet on Connor. Like that episode of SouthPark with Satan vs Jesus and Satan takes a dive.
If he really wants to make money he should lose by points instead, Conor winning by unanimous decision is +8000!

Just curious, but how is boxing dead if Mayweather can make over $100 million a fight?
Because everyone wants to see his smug face knocked out

When it's in a discussion about US politics and the requisite effects, no, it doesn't really apply.
Ok, does the Charleston church shooting count? Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting? 2014 Las Vegas shootings? And everything else Wikipedia can tell me about right-wing terrorism in the US?
I'm obviously advocating any kind of terrorism, but if someone "doesn't remember" any right-winged mass shooters it's because they didn't pay attention.

The Orlando nightclub shooting? Omar Mateen the man who identified himself as "Mujahideen", "Islamic Soldier", and "Soldier of God" and pledged his allegiance multiple times to ISIL and said the shooting was "triggered" by an airstrike in Iraq that killed Abu Wahib, an ISIL commander, six weeks before. He's now a right winger? Lol
The same Omar Mateen who's dad showed up at a Clinton rally two days after the shooting?

But it didn't happen in the US so I guess it doesn't count

I don't remember any of the mass shooters in recent times being crazy right-wingers.
Except the deadliest mass shooter in recent history...

Here's Conor boxing - http://www.mmamania.com/2017/6/15/15808758...sick-mayweather
Lol, I really hope he adapts his style more than this to boxing, fighting like that does not work when kicks, takedowns, elbows, knees and running backwards 30 feet is out of the equation. He will need to land a KO in the first couple of rounds, or see himself jabbed to bits like Diaz did.
-
Nothing would make me happier than to see Floyd "Suckerpunch" Mayweather knocked out cold. If Connor connects he will definitely have problems, but I fear it will be another dodge-dodge-poke fight.
If Conor wins though it will be a huge boost for MMA, which is likely the reason Dana allows it. That and $$$ ofc.

With regards to the systems of other countries, part of the reason why they can pay for them is because their defense is subsidized by the United States. If they had to pay for defense the way the U.S. has for decades, it would have been far harder for them to pay for their healthcare systems.
Care to back up those claims? What country is putting money into healthcare because they are a member of e.g. NATO? Would said country have problems if they had to increase their military budget?
-
I don't get the last few replies here, you are arguing that the "free" healthcare systems does not work and are not sustainable.
But they do work and are sustainable, they have been like this for decades in many countries.
When you're in an accident or get sick and end up with debt or are unable to get the right treatment because you didn't have the right insurance or the money needed, the system has failed.

Rumor has it there's a Lamborghini somewhere in that video.

most electric cars when involved in accidents spontaneously combust
That's just plain wrong mate. A few do, not most.
Statistics a few years back showed 1 fire for every 120 million miles for electric cars.
For ICE cars it's 1 fire for every 20 million miles, so they are 6 times more likely to catch fire. In the US alone there's about 17 car fires an hour.
The difference is that EVERY Tesla catching fire gets in the news. No one writes about a burning 2016 BMW 528i.
Shooter in Las Vegas

If they know there was two shooters, I don't quite see how they could claim a lone nut doing it without having 100% control over everything picked up by cameras etc?
For all they know someone could have footage of two shooters, but they luck out and all that is picked up is sound that may or may not indicate two shooters?
