Making anti-heroes out of mass shooters inspires other losers to get a little fame. A few are bullied - as if Prison is less bullying than highschool? Pretty sure the majority end up dead, but their own hand or death by cop. Prison not an issue. A lot of them are kids that the anti-woke crowd wants...

Police have no duty to protect anyone. That guy in Arizona that jumped into the lake from the police and then asked for someone to save him and the police said no…a bad look for the police, but LOL at his stupidity. “Ok, I’m not jumping in after you” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2022/j...

I’m so glad I live in a small town.

On the licensing thing, to go back to your flying analogy, requiring initial and recurrent training, and that training should include the monkey skills of safe handling of weapons, and the skills in assessing risks and making smart decisions. Aligns with the idea of a well regulated militia.

Humans are the worst. I am continually amazed we’ve made it this far with nuclear weapons. My MAGA hat wearing mom thinks we are going to get hit by an asteroid (Apophis) in 2029, unleashing the prophecies. The end times. No reason not to fling about some nukes. It is written!

Time to read A Canticle for Liebowitz again.

Why did the US go back to full auto with the M4?

Because in combat, when assaulting an opposing force armed with similar weaponry (or defending against) you may need to suppress their fire. Full auto helps. That doesn’t apply to elementary schools and grocery stores.

What kind of military guy calls a semi-auto ar-15 a "gun of mass destruction"? One who was trained to use it, deployed with it, and understands what it can do to a school full 4th graders or a concert audience in Vegas. The US military has not issued "AR15s" since the early days...

The minimum wage is taking the place of unions. The unions ensured some guy with a high school degree could live a good life. Now everyone is clawing to get a college degree, running themselves into huge debt, to make a decent living. Stuck with huge loans you can’t get out from under. It’s sad. The...

Well said, Vern

Benny, I asked for reputable evidence. You gave no links, so I decided to investigate your first claim: Bram, they win the moment you give them enough credence to investigate their batshit crazy claims. They will throw an endless shitstorm of unrelated bullshit at you, in an effort to overwhelm you...

:drinkers: We were told today, in the latest version of events offered by authorities in Texas, that police left children locked in a classroom with a gunman for 78 minutes as they repeatedly called 911 begging for help, not knowing that their would-be rescuers were standing idly by . If there is a ...

Reminds me of the saying in the military, in order to get a Medal of Honor somebody has to fuck up.

Bravo to him.

He was a law abiding citizen, waiting until he was 18 to legally buy his AR-15 and boxes of ammo. All on the up and up until he shot grandma in the face.

How about that Uvalde SWAT team?

The well regulated militia is working overtime again

that’s a lot of brain damage. For a good cause.

With gerrymandering, there is no downward pressure on the fringe stupidity.

Looks like The Handmaid has delivered for SCOTUS.

I think Russia picked the wrong people to bully.

I hope Ukraine ends up like Finland too. With you 100% on that.

And on Hunter…the wrong son died. I think we agree.

Spells and Nafod— will you allow this heresy to continue or will you stand up for those who identify as female everywhere? I haven’t kept up with the Heard/Depp thing, and it’s taken work to do so.

Who the fuck gave our people the right to pick who runs another country? We didn’t pick Zelensky, the Ukrainians did in free and fair elections. We should be supporting democracy wherever it is found. Russia’s goal is the opposite. Russia’s invasion is what will truly cement Ukraine as a country. S...

Paul Manafort worked for Putin’s candidate in Ukraine, which means he worked for Putin. Then, he worked as Trump’s campaign manager “without a salary” because he’s that kind of guy. Yeah, me neither. And that’s not unnamed sources. Hunter Biden was tossed out of the US Navy Reserve for drug problems...
