Summations Only

Grrrrrr. I would sure like to see it as a standard, prominent bit of news reporting - and I guess it's getting there - whether guns used in this sort of senseless stuff are legally obtained or not.

My point is really very limited: I'd just like to feel fully justified in telling all my NRA-member co-workers to STFU about theie Sacred Constitutional Rights.

Oh, bullshit, Jar. Stopping all behaviors permanently, I guess?

Your property is not your self.

I hear a LOT of this here in the wilds of West Texas, some of it from people with advanced degrees. NONE of them, to my knowledge, ever take a portable lightning rod with them when they golf or fish, even in the month of May when violent thunderstorms are pretty common. But they will take a pistol - I presume for self defense against all the other folks that don't have lightning rods, either.And yes, there are a fair number of gun deaths out here - three that I know of in this county of 15,000 people so far this year. None at the golf course. None at the lake, either, but it's dry, so there isn't much fishing.

Oh, do you have a portable lightning rod?

You want the criminal to fear you.....Do you have a "protected by Glock" sign in the front yard? If you do, perhaps the burglars will move down the street to a house with a "protected by parakeets" sign. But barring that, how the hell do they know who to fear? And, besides, a nice Glock pawns for a lot more money than a DVD player or even an XBox! Certainly more than a cageful of parakeets.Don't be calling Moose's arguments illogical until you have vetted your own. Motes and beams, y'know.

Ah! We have a plan now! "Change people's hearts and mind set, etc."Is there any specific sub-plan about how we do that?

The untrained 73-year-old "deputy" in Tulsa who got his title by donating stuff to the sheriff's office. Yeah, like he'll even go to trial. I've been to Tulsa.
## long string of obscenities redacted by author ##73! That's even older than me!Edited by Coragyps, : No reason given.

Does anyone know if the shooter in Charleston had the legal right to have his weapon?And Faith, do you normally take a pistol to church? Do you know people who do?

On top of all those, Anglagard, you probably get a bunch of them damn Snyder residents over there too. They worry the hell out of me, and I'm one of them! (Maybe an atypical specimen).

They all were there to attend a fucking Bible study, Faith. Not a drug dealer's convention or a biker get-together in Waco. Why in hell should anyone ever think they would need a sidearm for II Colossians?Edited by Coragyps, : No reason given.

And Stillwater, Oklahoma had a man beheaded by a Christian who apparently thought he was practicing witchcraft. So folks should also carry guns when playing cards with friends.

One more month, and "open carry" is legal here in Texas.In our last safety meeting they were talking about "dangerous states," but I'm pretty sure they meant states of mind, not geopolitical entities.

A pump-action 28-gauge shotgun with no shells is plenty big enough, if you pretent to chamber a shell in a dark room.
