She's a street-corner whore dressed in black leather, a bad bitch. She is a demi-goddess with that hi-cap magazine. Most guys can't handle a woman like that; she promises you heaven but gives you hell. And so the AR-15 quickly exerts a giddy and malignant effect on the mind of the owner. They should not be sold to the public, even though they are in fact super-awesome. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

They are illegal to possess in several states. No NFA gun has ever been used in a mass shooting. Semi automatic, where the trigger must be pulled for each shot, are the type available to the general public. Even the "evil" bump stock requires you to pull the trigger for each shot. debasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546940741042023260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-28797198007612557362018-02-26T12:07:07.160-08:002018-02-26T12:07:07.160-08:00No, not into guns so much as I'm into music.

The whole experience of choosing a weapon, taking it out on "dates" to the range, fondling and cleaning and admiring the craftsmanship, the fit and finish...is not something gun-owners talk about much. It is a very complex emotional experience. The weapon brings us feelings of well-being, security, and potency. Other emotions like excitement, anticipation, and enthusiasm take hold. There is sometimes an erotic component to gun ownership which is kept hidden. We imagine we are the only ones who sleep with the rifle near us, or who derive increased potency with the wife from contemplating the gun.Shooting the weapon, especially an auto, is orgasmic in nature. <br /><br />Therefore I am not surprised by the outrage which meets any suggestion automatic weapons should be restricted. It is a direct threat to the relationship which is treasured by the gun owner.<br /><br />Should I have shared this with the Raccoons? Why not? They all probably have an AR, AK, or Heckler and Koch somewhere in the house.

Next year will be very different.) Picking up and dropping off, I have always observed how vulnerable everyone is, and there's really no way to remedy that. Until this week, it was comforting to have a police officer out front, helping to direct traffic and knowing he'd be there during the school day. Even if there's only one, it was better than nothing. Now all I can wonder is how far away he would stay to protect himself, and how long he would take to call for help if something happened here. And when it arrived, whether they'd do anything or just wait for the calamity to end before heroically charging in to look at the aftermath.<br /><br />The sense of betrayal is indescribable.<br /><br />No gun laws can possibly help if the people tasked with enforcing the law refuse to do their jobs.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-34133831713878196302018-02-25T13:28:41.253-08:002018-02-25T13:28:41.253-08:00You can't get them for $49.99 anymore, except ...You can't get them for $49.99 anymore, except in Grenada. Neither of those are firearms.Why are innocent law abiding citizens always to blame for the actions of criminals? Will you give up your car for the next drunk driving accident. After all, cars are not protected by the Constitution. You can't compare other cultures to ours. Although I imagine some of the European citizens wish they were able to protect themselves from the Muslim criminals that are running rampant through their country as a result of leftist stupidity. You can not name a crime that has been prevented by a gun law. There is no gun law that would have prevented the Fla. crime. I know it is difficult for Dems to understand, because I have experience trying to convey this in person, but criminals don't obey the law. <br />Bob- I have had this notion for a while. I don't even let Dems on my property. They are infested with this evil ideology that seems to make them deny truth. I can work with them, but it causes me great angst, because I never know when they are going to spew this evil and I have to prepare for it. debasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546940741042023260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-76752174810789308152018-02-24T09:30:17.809-08:002018-02-24T09:30:17.809-08:00Actually, if we could only get guns out of the han...Actually, if we could only get guns out of the hands of Democrats and Democrat constituents, we'd have the lowest gun-related crime rate in the developed world.

Good stuff. <br /><br />There are many great things in the post, but my favorite line was the last; pertaining to God being bored. Let's conjecture boredom in humans is inherited from the Father; a need for novelty comes from Him, and we are his likeness. Boredom is not driven by necessity. It is what comes into the mind once the necessary is accomplished. When boredom hits, one may be sure God will come calling: "Hey, why don't you try _____________ just for kicks?"<br /><br />A further tit bit about the gun thing. Evidence from other nations with stricter gun control does show lower gun deaths. We could go back to the 1994 Assault Rifle Ban, which expired in 2004. We already did a decade with control and guess what, the shooting ranges were still doing a brisk business with good old-fashioned sporting rifles, which have always been gun enough for any patriot. I know because I remember the ban, and it was inconsequential for the rank and file citizen shooter.<br /><br />For those whose 12 gauge is not enough for them, how about a future Big 5 Ad: "Fragmentation Grenades, $49.99 ea." "105 mm Mortar with starter pack of 6 shells." Why not go all the way then?

It seems they are willing to accept a certain number of deaths to promote their agenda. Gun free zone= shooting gallery. How many mass murders have taken place at a gun range or police station?

Not to immediately pivot to the political, but it seems to me that one of the consistent characteristics of the left is to wish for things that never were and (more problematically) cannot be. And not just wish; rather, to try to compel them through force (since there is no other way).</i><br /><br />An issue of the left, but also, I think, of femininity to some degree. Thinking of the dear ladies I meet with weekly, it seems even the more conservative among them were overtaken by their emotions in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting; there was much hope expressed that the children's crusade would cause congress to awaken and enact new, tougher gun control laws, thereby ending the scourge of mass shootings.<br /><br />It's a lovely idea, which has absolutely no basis in reality. And nothing anyone says can convince them otherwise.<br /><br /><i>Which goes to a little problem I have with the traditional scholastic view, that God is "pure act" and therefore devoid of potency. I get what the doctrine is trying to say -- that God is unchanging and unchangeable, but still... It's like saying God is Absolute with no Infinite, which to me is no Absolute at all. Translighted to the human plane, it is like all necessity with no possibility, i.e., no free will.</i><br /><br />As evidence, in the NT Jesus is at least a couple of times described as being surprised and/ or amazed. I don't see how that could be if He is pure necessity; were it so, nothing would ever surprise Him, in which case <i>acting</i> surprised to make a point would be a lie, which is to say, <i>impossible</i>. juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
