If guns weren't here (everywhere) already, I would agree with you. They are here and too many of them to go away any time soon.
What a cowards argument. By all means lets defend the insanity of the status quo while little kids have their brains splattered all over the walls of their school. Is that what you like???

The gun didn't kill anybody without a person pulling the trigger. Undeniable fact that renders the rest of your gun control bullshit useless.
Some logic...
The mentally ill person could cause no harm if they didn't have a trigger to pull in the first place, much less one attached to an assault weapon.
What is more logical to address right now? Mental illness or their ridiculously easy access to firearms?
Perhaps you can point out the last time somebody with a knife walked into a movie theater and killed two dozen people in one swoop? Please...I'm all ears.

You wouldn't say that shit if your kid didn't come home from school, I can guarantee your ass that right now.
Bullshit. Facts are facts and emotions don't change them.
"Facts."

Anybody who thinks this isn't a gun control issue should have their head examined.
Anybody that thinks gun control solves this needs to have their head examined.
So if we enacted gun laws that stopped the sale of guns that spray out 50 bullets at a time that would not make a difference?
If we enacted laws that required stricter mental health evaluation that wouldn't make a difference?
Surely even you could understand these simple ideas.

And the appraisal has me worried because with the economy, you never know what it'll come in at. Like you said though, the wait should be short now. It'll be good to at least know one way or the other.
Well honestly, if it comes in light it's only to your advantage. Unless the person does not need to sell the home and it not willing to renegotiate the price. If it comes in higher it's also irrelevant (and you are under no obligation to divulge that to the seller) as the contract price is all that matters.
I had a deal a couple of months ago where the property came in about 10k less than list price. The home owners bitched but they still closed it at that price because they needed to sell it.

I do think Teachers should be allowed to carry concealed weapons.... of course as I say this, a teacher would freak out and shoot his class....
Gonna basically have to have armed cops in EVERY school. they do good having them in High Schools etc now but even down to Elementary Level. Maybe have a guard tower and you have to show ID before being buzzed in or something.
Watch these highly trained armed men stop our president from getting shot:

Yeah. Necessary evil for most folks, though. I don't have the cash to pay for the house outright, lol.
I'm often surprised on how many transactions are all cash, I'd say about 25% of my deals are this year. I've got a pending offer now that's all cash too.
Appraisal happened this morning. They're saying they think they'll have it turned in by Saturday morning.
Sounds about right. I'd imagine then you'd know by Monday then.

The mortgage company ordered the appraisal late last week. We believe it'll happen mid-week to late this week. The mortgage company seems confident we'll still close by 12/17.
Sounds like it's moving along nicely.
On a side note...I hate banks.
