Given how good the Astros look to be for years to come, I think this is a terrible idea.

Shooting blindly?  He was shooting at a lit up target at night.  Even a cheap red dot scope would do.  You're not talkign about precision marksmanship here, it was a crowd of 20k.  When's the last time you shot a gun?  You seem to have more opinions than knowledge.

Your obsession with Trout is downright creepy.
Face it he hasn't done good under pressure so far in his career.  It's a pattern with him at this point.  Terrible in the playoffs, if he had tore it up you wouldn't be screaming small sample size.  His performance in high leverage situations this season barely exceeded that of Albert.  Terrible September this year but as soon as they were officially out of it he had a great couple games.  If you look at his career numbers his OPS peaks in June, goes down in July, then lower yet in August, and his worst month is September.  That's a six year average, not a "small sample size". That's a definite trend at this point. Hopefully he outgrows this.  But it can no longer be denied.  He's choking until he proves otherwise.

He was talking about Judge jesus dude 

They would have to be complete morons to.  By any measure, Sanchez and Judge are worth more to a team than Trout alone. Not to mention they will make a combined 1/30th of what Trout will next year.

8.2 WAR as a rookie, will make over 30 million LESS than Trout, and so far doesn't suck in the playoffs or September.  Do it.  Spend the extra 30 mil and Stanton or JD Martinez too.  Trout has been underwhelming when it counts, time and again.

This.  Upton has a history of being very inconsistent.  He had a great year but he's had plenty of mediocre ones.  Plus he's a terrible defender, seems like his mind is in outer space half the time.

All the facts in the world won't convince a dyed in the wool liberal.  They operate on emotions and when proven wrong either swear at you, call you a nazi,  a racist, or some combination of the above.  When someone says their is no leftist media bias I mentally dismiss them.  Fox news is the one and only mainstream right wing network and not a fan of them either.  Tell me the facts, I'll form my own opinions.  Oddly enough RT is probably about the most factual news station.  Who would have ever thought it would come to that?

Only so I can see the Indians humiliate them.

A lot of it stinks.  
Sure looks like gunfire coming from the 4th or 5th floor.  The flashes are in time with the sound, delayed due to distance just like you'd think.
Guy has zero criminal or mental health history.
He owned at least one plane, and had material to improvise explosives.  You'd do a lot more damage and be far more sensational by loading it up and flying it into something.  Clearly he was intent on max damage, and given his background I'd say he was no dummy (different from being nuts).
But maybe that can all be explained away.
The picture sure looks like him and his gal at the anti Trump rally.  Whoever shot up a country concert certainly was targeting conservatives.  Maybe his wife radicalized him.  I don't trust the gov to ever tell us that even if they found it out.  Maybe he had a bad gambling streak and decided to go out in a big (yet horrible) way.  His dad was nuts, maybe he inherited some bad mental health and was good at hiding it.
 

That's a great compilation of WHY Trump won.  Not because people like him so much.  But because they are sick of self appointed elitists telling them what's best for them and how they should think. Funny, most of these "elitists", especially the Hollywood types, are as sharp as bowling balls and their lives are moral cesspools.  I went to a top university and the so called elite liberals there have ZERO real world accomplishments.  Never ran a business, never created one job, never invented anything, never helped anyone but themselves.  I got the paper I needed and never looked back.
Say you are an average southern white redneck type.  You grow up with few financial advantages, parents don't send you to college, then you spend the rest of your life being brow beaten by the media about how "advantaged" and racist you are, when in reality you see a large chunk of your hard earned wages go to illegal invaders, deadbeats, and then are told how all the world's problems are your fault.  No wonder they're pissed off.
 I saw an article the other day that Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and some other idiot were chiming in on gun control again.  Those type need to wake up.  They're absolute trash with no morals, no brains,  and they want to weigh in and tell US how to live all the while having their own 24/7 armed security details.  Trump will win again in 2020, not that I'm particularly excited about that, but the dems continue to dig their own graves.

Only so I can see the Indians humiliate them.

Aaron Judge has just now out performed Trout in the playoffs.

Judge 2-4 with a walk, a HR, 3 runs and 2 RBI's in the WC game.  Not bad for a rookie.

Gee that's funny because I look Hispanic, and wasn't a Christian growing up, yet no one ever gave me a hard time in my redneck town. Ever.  You watch too much TV perhaps?

It was clearly full auto.  Very regular high rate of fire. Not bump fire and certainly not semi auto.  Probably illegally modified. Doesn't really matter.  Sick people who are determined enough always seem to find a way.

This is blatantly untrue.  I've been to dozens of shows and have never seen one, and without the proper background check and Federal stamp (that takes almost a year) you wouldn't be able to buy one.
Guns are extremely restricted in most of Europe, so terrorists just cut people's throats, blow stuff up, and drive large trucks through crowds.  Would you prefer that?
The problem is crazy people.  We live in a world where many don't have access to mental health care, violence is glorified (thanks Hollywood), and people have 100 facebook friends but in reality are isolated in their own little world.
Literally everyone had guns where I grew up.  In my entire town of about 1200 there was never a murder for the 22 years I lived there.  Never even heard of someone pointing a gun at another person.
We have a cultural problem. A sick, Godless, I'll do whatever I feel like culture.

Terrible. 
My brother just told me his expierence. We are so fortunate to have him home today

No, he shot up a crowd that he figured would be full of Trump supporters.

Lol?  Nothing funny about this.  You're spewing BS and we're trying to have a reasonable discussion about what is clearly a serious problem in this country.  I don't want semi autos banned but obviously you can't have this continuing either.  Your position is clear but please don't spread lies.  It's time for an honest conversation in this country but that means no more rhetoric or exaggerations from either side.  Guns are not evil, people are.  But you don't need to defend your home against a small army either.  There is a middle ground.
Actual FACTS:  Full autos are "legal" in almost every state.  But you can only buy ones that were made before 1986, and they cost at least 20 grand each for a rifle.  I doubt this guy had gone through the years of background checks and shelled out 200k or more for the ten he evidently had.  You CAN NOT buy any class 3 item at a gun show.  You could put money down, then get it 9 months or more later if you pass all checks.
