Two days before the argument, Lanza tried unsuccessfully to buy a gun at Dick's Sporting Goods in nearby Danbury on Tuesday, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation. The source said store employees have been interviewed and have searched the store's surveillance cameras for evidence that Lanza was there.
Lanza was found dead next to three guns, a semi-automatic .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle and two pistols made by Glock and Sig Sauer, a law enforcement source told CNN. All belonged to his mother.

So there you have it. He failed to buy a gun for some reason or another. The ones used weren't his. As I've previously said, there are or are close to as many guns in this country as there are people. If you can't buy one new from the store, there are many other ways to get it.

I thought it was true for a long time cause I saw it on The Simpson's as a kid. The American Embassy had a special device to make the toilets flush the right way.

The coriolis effect only works on huge bodies of water...like oceans. Lakes are even too small for the effect to work so you can be sure that a toilet bowl will also not be affected.

My, what a productive contribution to the discussion. Tell me, how exactly do I not have a grip on reality?

But more gun laws are clearly the answer. :rolleyes:

I had to check because it is one of those things we see every day and don't notice :smirk:
Clockwise here, and just now, might be different after 21/12/12 (12/21/12 for some)

The simple fact is this: water will continue the flow that was created when it filled the container. If it was flowing clockwise it'd swirl clockwise down a drain and vice versa. The reason for this is that water takes a really, really long time to settle and stop moving. Even still water can have eddy currents. Therefore any toilet bowls filled in a specific direction will spin the same way when flushed.

I honestly cannot believe that anyone has to explain this shit in the year 2012 with fucking internet and instant info everywhere.
