Re: Gun Safety moves forward

It perhaps explains some of the shootings. It is one ingredient in a cocktail of factors.

Numerous countries have restrictions on violent video games:

Re: Gun Safety moves forward

You missed my point. What I meant was the *threat* of prison time does not prevent all crimes. Similarly, red flag laws will not prevent all shootings. Obviously, the threat of punishment did not prevent the atrocities in Buffalo, or Uvalde, or Oxford. That said, the existence of criminal penalties ...

Re: Gun Safety moves forward

Good thing we don't handle drunk driving the way they want to handle gun control. If they did we just get all the sober drivers off the street so no drunk drivers would kill sober drivers. I am failing to see the logic in your attempted analogy. Cops frequently pull over and arrest suspected drunk ...

Re: Gun Safety moves forward

To imply red flag laws don't work simply because they don't prevent every single shooting is idiotic logic. If we apply that same logic to law enforcement officers and criminal penalties, then one could argue police forces should be abolished and prison sentences should be abolished. See how stupid ...

Re: WRIF's audio processing (did sound) deplorably terrible!

Audio still sounds mediocre. WGRD in Grand Rapids sounds so much better it ain't funny. WGRD's audio is nearly CD quality. WRIF's sounds like something from a haphazardly engineered pirate station. Is WRIF ever going to get a decent sounding digital copy of "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm? Every...

Re: WOOD-FM transmitter fried by lightning strike

Reception and processing yesterday and today were noticeably better versus when I last listened in mid-April. Signal was clear as a bell in southern Kent County, and processing was nearly perfect.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

Even competitor WFGR wrote about his disappearance: https://wfgr.com/tony-gates-wlav/ Off topic, but WLAV's audio sounded excessively tinny when I heard the station in my car yesterday early evening. WFGR's audio sounded a bit under modulated. What gives? I will say WGRD's processing sounded phenome...

Re: 2021 Ford Broncos are rolling shitboxes

Do not buy a Land Rover, Lester. If you want to lease one for two years - OK, I guess. Every Land Rover has technology that malfunctions or breaks almost constantly. Endless money pits once off warranty. Few people know how to work on them and parts are very expensive. Jeep vehicles have plenty of i...

Re: FBI Arrests Ryan Kelley

The FBI apparently thinks apprehending a suspect on a misdemeanor (who hasn't even missed a court date, to the best of my knowledge) is much more important than investigating claims of dozens of underaged gymnasts being molested by one man.

Re: Windsor and Canadian Radio Ratings from Numeris

What a colossal disaster for Pure Country 89!!! Losing to 95.9 by a nearly 2:1 margin. I'm not sure Bell Media would want to take a chance using "Bounce" branding on a station that covers nearly all of Metro Detroit. That might introduce a lawsuit from Beasley, owner of 105.1 The Bounce (WMGC-FM). T...

Re: FBI Arrests Ryan Kelley

So who's left? Tudor Dixon and Garrett Soldano. Which one would be the best choice to beat Whitmer? Personally, I think Dixon will beat Soldano in the primary. As of right now anyway. Whitmer will likely win by at least five points in the general election, but of the remaining GOP candidates, Dixon...

Re: Coverage of Jan. 6 Hearings

These hearings will be a complete snooze fest for prime time viewing.

FOX was smart in providing optional programming for its affiliates.
