Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Worst mass shooting in American history now.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

My hope is that the politicians and media -- whoever has a pro or anti gun agenda -- give family members time and space to grieve.

Good luck. This one adds Islam and homosexuality into the mix. The shooter hit some hot topics all at once for sure on this one. I suspect that the politicizing is already happening but we'll here about it tomorrow.

I understand that. For the families sake I hope the actual media hounding of them is kept as minimal as possible.

Here you go. Richard Blumenthal, Democratic Senator from Connecticut.

Tweets that Senate is complicit because of inaction.

Just read his tweets.

He urged people to not focus on the 'either/or' about terrorism or gun control.

Not sure how that would be pointing in the wrong direction.

Separate question, gray.....do you agree with Trump's stance to ban Muslim immigrants?

Didn't he point blame at the ease of gun purchases?
