    Well Well Well

    It appears that both feinstein and pelosi are soon to be history. Their own party's are turning on them. What took them so long? And what about chuckie glasses and muddled waters?

    Thanks, but I wear out my jeans the old fashioned way. "Distressed" fashion statements are a sad testament about what we have become.

    maybe arming teachers isn't such a good idea

    "The only injury reported was a student who hurt their ankle running during the evacuation of Dalton High School."

    No one with a lick of sense is saying forcibly arm all teachers. But multiple school districts in multiple states have armed teachers already and if the notably anti gun media can't dig up a better story than this, I'd say the practice is working just fine

    It's not a hardware problem. SetIt's a character problem. 

    With 22,000 gun regs on the books already, don't pretend reg number 22,001 is gonna be the straw that breaks this camel's back.

    With 300 million firearms of every description, don't pretend bump stocks are the culprit.

    It's a character problem. No one wants to address that.

    When media is appointed moral arbiter, here is what you get: garbage in, garbage out.


    Thank you!

    And the character problem is only going to get worse. Until "parents" and "teachers" get back to being parents and teachers it will spread. And the media has got to quit praising the bad and the ugly and start praising the good. Anti-heros who are nothing but drug dealers who get even with someone who ripped them off is not a good example.

    So I went online rifle shopping today and every damn AR rifle and pistol were out of stock! Hell even most popular Glocks were sold out! 

    Makes me wonder how much stock all the politicians, news anchors, etc. have invested in the firearms business? Bet their all making a killing right now!

    Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton were/are the best guns salespeople we have ever had.

    Of course the things Donald Trump said the other day sure have not helped.

    What people fail to realize is that there was a reason that meeting was broadcast. Now that he said those things publically he can now just blame congress and the senate and make himself look good.  It has also made the left quiet down a little.

    We all know laws are not changed over night like the school kids are being coached to say.

    The new ‘Death Wish’ movie is sure to create a huge conversation on gun violence -- and it won't be pretty

    This has nothing to do with school shootings. But it is really bad timing.

    Well, I guess those $12.00/hour burger jobs will be less and less.
