    Gun control???

    My list was solely in response to stopping school shootings,..my interest in this thread. I am not interested in overthrowing the government or conserving the rights of those who want to.... Letter C is EXTREMELY relevant in school shootings. The shooters are typically male, loners ...who like...

    There is no data because the NRA has successfully lobbied to make it illegal to collect that data

    Gun control???

    The simple answer is that most Americans assume that more guns equal less safety. They do not understand why a law abiding person would feel the need to carry a gun to do the same thing that they do every day (go to work, school, church, grocery store, etc.).

    Gun control???

    ...and...I think there is another thread that is discussing if the NRA "us against them" and the "don't give in on anything or we will loose all our guns" is actually helping or hurting.

    Gun control???

    I appreciate your opinion and candor...on this and other issues...I thought that it was ironic that earlier you posted this thread was OK to stay here because it wasn't controversial like CBL.... but I do remember some of our posts on that [emoji9]! With deference to Hogpatrol's attempt to ban...

    Gun control???

    I understood that my recommendations would not be well received but I was asked and chose to write what I knew would not be well received...but I stand by them....because they do not take any rights away.

    Gun control???

    I am sad for you that you can't even listen to an opinion that is not your own...but you did finally do a better job of trying to insult me...unfortunately your incescent attempts at insult have labeled you as the one who doesn't fit in.

    Gun control???

    I agree 1 million percent with the fix society statement....I originally wrote the same thing and removed it at the risk of being condecending. I would disagree with your assessment of the ban data...but respect that you are making an informed dissent.

    Gun control???

    Who said anything about the 2nd Amendment? I was asked a question about teachers and schools.

    Gun control???

    1. Gun bans are effective at reducing deaths in schools....that is a simple fact. You don't like that...but it is a fact. 2. I do not support the NRA position that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. 3. The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to keep the bad...

    After you ban Scott...you can ban books...original ideas...anything doesn't fit into your narrow definition of the world.

    Gun control???

    The answers to why arning teachers is a TERRIBLE idea have been shared here and many places. I won’t go into ALL of the reasons, but I can share some highlights off the top of my head: There is VERY good dtata (I too am on a phone and heve limited access, so I can’t provide the links...just...

    You making a judgement about how the post MIGHT be interpreted without the emoji...when the emoji was IN FACT attached...might make someone come along and think you are.... Might want to fix that.

    Gun control???

    I agree that concealed carry should be regulated....with the obvious exception of mechanics as their jobs are so inherently dangerous [emoji8]

    Gun control???

    So your argument that I am out of touch with main street America is that I am really smart AND really well educated...thank you for the compliment!

    Gun control???

    Sheltered or not...I don't need a gun to feel safe.

    Gun control???

    Which is the reason that mechanics don't need to carry a gun to work..
  22. Scott Slough

    Gun control???

    Because a teacher's job is to TEACH students NOT SHOOT them!

    NRA President Oliver North

    1. Illegally sold weapons to Iran 2. Wasn't smart enough to give the correct bank account for the illegal transfer 3. Intended to illegally support Contras with funds ...easy to see why people are excited for his leadership!

    Death of a King

    You seem to be very proud of your opinion...I would suggest you call the Secret Service detail protecting Former First Lady Hillary Clinton and tell them that you would like to watch her die...they will be more than happy to explain to you societal norms.

    Top African animal to shoot

    Bongo are awesome...all spiral horn are...I just like the look of the LDE a little more...and I really like the idea of a savannah hunt for the LDE vs the jungle hunt for Bongo.

    Top African animal to shoot

    If I only had one more chance to hunt ONE animal in Africa ONE time it would be the Lord Derby Eland as well...but if I could hunt one animal...as many times...in all the places that it lives it would be the kudu...followed closely by the bushbuck.

    Death of a King

    Not really just my opinion...it is a societal norm! Making a joke about watching a human being die is NOT FUNNY...and it doesn't make you a jerk for making the joke...it just makes you SAD.

    My memory is that they used modified some of the TSA protocols along with specific questions about the truck usage. I rented a truck a year ago to move 250 miles and wasn't asked any questions. A week later I rented a truck for local use and was asked extensive questions when my driver's license...

    To state that people care close to zero about the individuals who have died in deliberate attacks with trucks plowing through pedestrians is just blind to the facts.

    Your response is the one that shows bias...because you stated that you are biased against researchers.. Not everyone on this website...aka "us"...has a bias against knowledge.
