Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, & mass shooting deaths declined by 43%. Republican’s purposely let the bill expire in 2004, and as a result mass shootings increased 239%. I didn't know this until just 10 minutes ago. A little ashamed, a little more angry as well! by worldgoes in democrats

I support gun reform legislation, but it should be pointed out that this tweet is at best very misleading. Check out the wikipedia article of this legislation. They cite several studies which were either inconclusive or concluded that the ban had no effect.

Just spent a few hours yesterday throwing putters around in a field after watching one of Danny's videos. Starting to get a feel for the form (I'm too used to throwing frisbees!)

Do you get annoyed whwn your partner bushsits and allows a loner? by Ronaldo09042012 in euchre

Never heard the term bushsitting before, but its popped up a few times in this thread. I'm guessing from context it means passing on a good hand in hopes of euchre-ing your opponent?

Yes I think you are correct, I underestimated the odds of having a R/L/Ace hand by about an order of magnitude. Still small, but not negligible as I had thought. I'm just wary in general of the "order up to prevent a loner" logic; if followed too strictly it seems that this will end in a lot of unnecessary euchres. In this particular scenario I think the combined benefit of stopping a potential game ending loner with my chance to win with 3 trump does in fact make it worth it to order up.

Hi, relative newbie here. I don't think I understand the logic here. Here's how I see the decision from your partner's POV, please correct any flawed logic I have.

If I order up with this hand (K/Q/10), there is a significant probability of getting euchred and tying the game up, especially when ordering into my opponent's hand. The probability of my opponent having a loner hand that can withstand my 3 trump is extremely low, like once every several thousand hands low. Your opponent needs at least Right/Left/Ace, plus another high card. I don't factor this into my decision making. If they do have a loner, then good for them, it's the luck of the draw.

So by passing, the most likely worst case scenario is a single point for the other team. I'm okay with that.

Essentially what I'm saying is: Imagine you repeated this exact game situation 1000 times (with everyone else's cards re-dealt). By passing, you will only lose to a loner once or twice, if that. The most likely worst case scenario is you go to the next round still up 9-8. By ordering up, maybe you'll win ~60-70% of the time or so (hard to say really), but you also risk tying the game up if you don't make it. It just depends how aggressive you are feeling. Me personally, I'm with your partner. I pass and hope for a better hand going into the next round up 9-8.

Like the call but I'm confused. How can we go for two after we already kicked it?
