[VinnieBoomBah]

Gun laws are not for criminals.

Hey @CLT65 Did you see I just gave this one a 'thumbs up"? I would call this a conservative post, wouldn't you?


Context for anyone that need it

Somebody PLEASE explain because I don't get it...

I'm not going to get into the weeds with politics, but I have been reading your posts for years, and clearly your definition of conservative is very different from most. "Liberal" and "conservative" mean very different things to different people, and the general meanings have changed a lot over...

Just something to consider here....

Which is more important...
That you know and are comfortable with who and what you are...
Or being concerned over how others label you...?

I know who I am...as well as being comfortable with who I am.
I also am damn glad that I don't fit well into the artificial boxes many folks try to put me in.

When I was 7 we'd go out shooting in the hills around Los Angeles with my Great Grandfather and his 9mm Schnell Feuer broom handle Mauser machine gun. It wasnt legal but he was a retired LA county sherrif so the law didn't apply to him .

Yes, I know it did but he didn't care. When he died his cop buddies came over and cleaned the place out.

Gravity kills. How many times has a spouse or similar been lured to a high location and pushed to their untimely end? Is there a 7 day waiting period for taking a hike up a mountain trail?

Simple. Effective. Ruthless.

He shoved her off of a cliff on a trial?

Not the first one to think of it either.

So, society is crumbling because women have more power now than they did before? Really? Women earning comparable wages to men for doing the same work does not equate to the demise of our social fabric. Women exerting influence in business and government (which impact their daily lives just as much as for men) did not result in the downward spiral you're describing.

Our education system turning into an indoctrination mill for generations of Americans, sure. I can buy that. Elimination of self reliance-oriented culture and the rise of convenience culture I can also buy. The pivot of our justice system from corporal punishment and hard time for criminal activity to the current slap & release model, absolutely. Medicating children to address behavioral issues, yeah. The rise in fearmongering by media to sell copy and increase viewership, sure.

Women are "the people" too, and entitled to all the same rights, protections, and freedoms as you are. And women should not have to rely on men to protect them, that's what the 2A is for. So, maybe try not disparaging an entire class of people because they're different.

I didn't say society was "crumbling". Along with left-leaning public education, I said the rise to power of women was a cultural shift. Please re-read my post #8

I was supposedly born in late baby boomer generation although I consider myself Generation X. Pretty common for people to have shotgun racks in the pickup trucks since our neighborhood was surrounded by grass lands so people would go hunting after school let out. No mass shooters back in those days. Guns were locked in display cases inside their homes not gun safes. The good old days.

Don't matter 'bout whatever generation....
All generations have issues and problems.

We have over 20,000 gun laws already in place....
If gun laws were the answer...then the problem would be done with.

may be hope on the generation thing. I just learned that my 18yo grandson is a republican, both parents lefty, and raised in Eugene. now in the army at basic training in Oklahoma. he is tired of being called an evil white male. and hates Joe Biden.

Just got back from my sons Basic Training graduation at Fort Sill. The weather was just starting to turn. Your grandson is in for a wild ride here pretty soon.

FWIW Basic is a cake walk compared to what it used to be.

I haven't had much to do with his up bringing I guess because I am a gun owner and hunter and I voted for trump. but he and his 8yo brother like guns. so maybe???

my best friends dad was a county sheriff in Idaho. and he had a Thompson sub machine gun. we never got to shoot it but we could handle it and admire it. it was stored in a closet and we could look at it when his dad was at work. I don't know if his dad knew or cared what we were doing.

The USA's three leading problems, in no particular order:

Postmodernism
Psychotropic medications
Three letter agencies

Las Vegas shooter was a Boomer. It's not a one generation thing.

The Vegas shooter was a patsy.

Everyone does once it's over. The time of my life was going back for school and eating at the basic training chow hall. That's the show of the year.

Ok geezers. Three pages of "when I was young and dinosaurs roamed the earth..." plus a lot of whining.

What's your proposed solution? I'm listening....

Yeah, she fell out of love with him. He was getting too pushy.

 

[Nosferatu]

Yeah, she fell out of love with him. He was getting too pushy.

It's a shame how far some relationships fall.

Maybe off of a trail?
