Great Covers
Obviously some originals are that good that it’s risky to cover it . Everyone and his dog had a go at this one: Here’s the original from 1969: The Haim sisters made a decent version and included it in their live shows as a regular: Here they are at Glastonbury in 2014: Even well past their sell by date rockers Deep Purple decided to include their version on their latest all covers album. -

News Forum - Teenage gunman goes on rampage killing 19 children and 2 adults at a Texas primary school
Nationwide, I'm thinking there are something like 12000 firearms laws on the books. I seem to remember that number from when I was licensed, and that was over 30 years ago. The NRA would be against new legislation especially if there were laws already on the books, and not being enforced. When VP Biden made the following statement, he may have made it because he knew his son lied when buying a handgun, and could possibly be prosecuted. During the Obama years, firearms prosecutions were down some 35% compared to before he took office. Background checks are here, since 1998. There have been multiple instances of the govt failing, and background checks information 'falling through the cracks', resulting in deaths. So the attitude of many is - how's about enforcing existing laws first? Jim Baker, the NRA representative present at the meeting, recalled the vice president’s words during an interview with The Daily Caller: “And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.” Submitting false information on an ATF Form 4473 — required for the necessary background check to obtain a firearm — is a felony punishable by up to ten years in prison, depending on prior convictions and a judge’s discretion, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Just a few laws already on the books, at federal level. Federal law prohibits transferring a firearm to anyone known or believed to be prohibited from possessing firearms. (18 USC992(d)) Federal law prohibits a non-licensee from acquiring a handgun outside his state of residence and prohibits a non-licensee from acquiring a rifle or shotgun from a non-licensee outside his state of residence. (18 USC 992(a)(3)) Federal law prohibits anyone from transferring a handgun to a non-licensee who resides in another state (with rare exceptions), and prohibits a non-licensee from transferring any firearm to a non-licensee who resides in another state. (18 USC 922(a)(5)) Federal law prohibits the acquisition of a firearm on behalf of a person who is prohibited from possessing firearms. (18 USC 922(h) and 922(a)(6)) Federal law prohibits anyone from providing a handgun to a juvenile (person under age 18), and prohibits juveniles from possessing handguns, with limited exceptions. (18 USC 922(x)) Federal law also prohibits dealers from selling rifles or shotguns to persons under age 18. (18 USC 922(b)(1)) You do realize that possession of the parts to convert a weapon, and the weapon together, is illegal, a felony? Also punishable by up to 10 years in prison & a fine of $100K, if I remember correctly. Besides, there are 'very' few weapons that could be converted to full automatic easily. Most would require machine shop equipment and knowledge.- 1

Yes, without a doubt. Would it have happened? No, never.
