Wray is ultimately responsible. He should be out kicking asses and taking names, if he won't straighten this organization out, he should resign and make way for someone who will. That's what they pay him for.

How asinine is that?

Coming off the worst 8 years in the history of the Union, what did you expect? They'll come back, just takes a little time.

Smell that?

Smell that?

Smell that?

Define 'assault weapon'.

Clearly define it.

And this answers whick of the questions posed? Thought so.

Allow me to quote Michelle; firstly: "This is not compassion, but abdication. America is not a juvenilocracy. It is a constitutional republic." In other words, the grown-ups are in charge, whether these kids and their lawyer friends like it or not. She goes on: "Pubescents are fueled by hormones and dopamine and pizza and Sonic shakes. They’re fickle and fragile and fierce and forgetful. They hate you. They love you. They need you. They ignore you. They know everything. They know nothing. All in the span of 10 seconds." Those seem like some pretty good reasons not to let the children 'lead the debate', because they're not stable yet!


The so-called adults, as you put it, are having trouble getting a word in edgeways with the cacophony emanating from the likes of CNN on the subject. "BAN THE GUNS!" "BAN THE GUNS!" "Listen to the kids! BAN THE GUNS!" This is their dream come true. The so-called adults are letting the children and and even more juvenile media hacks scream their lungs out for a while and when they're done and all tuckered out, maybe the so-called adults will be able to make some progress at pinpointing the causes of these tragedies and do something 'common-sensical' to make sure it can't happen again. While your adolescent stooges are being paraded in this ratings feast, the so-called adults are gathering facts and collecting evidence to support what hopefully will be a reasonable conclusion.


It's not about supporting or not supporting the second amendment. If you do not support the second amendment, you do not support the law of the land. Go get it changed. It's that simple. No, it's about understanding the second amendment and comprehending why it is written the way it is. Ask any of these kids running to Tallahassee and Washington what the second amendment is meant to accomplish and they'll mumble something about 'hunting' or, if they're even partially aware of their world, 'self-defense'. Well, as the great man once said: "Bzzzzzt! Incorrect! Put this 'Dunce' hat on and go sit in the corner, junior."

The second amendment is intended to provide a first line of defense against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It's a so-called adult thing. It asserts the right of the general populace to arm themselves and act in their own defense whether individually (self-defense) or as a group (militia), and to maintain and 'bear' (literally, carry) those arms at will. The second amendment is the peoples' admonition to their government to lay off the disarmament ideas. "Shall not be infringed". In other words, don't even go there, because the second amendment is there to back up the first.



Now that we've 'put paid to the lie', let's inquire how many guns the NRA sells over, say, a year. Any guesses? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions? Answer: None of the above. The NRA has, does, and will sell zero guns. Ever. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Not a one. Ever. The NRA is not in the business of selling guns of any shape, style or function. What the NRA is, it's America’s longest-standing civil rights organization. That's right, they're even older than the hallowed ACLU. Founded in 1871, the group has informed its members about firearm-related legislative bills since 1934, and it has directly lobbied for and against legislation on the State and Federal levels since 1975.

There's a good reason why certain politicians hate the NRA so much: The NRA publicly grades members of Congress from A to F on their perceived friendliness to gun rights. Those ratings can have a serious effect on poll numbers and even cost pro-gun control candidates their seat in Congress. What is the source of this power? Millions of members with billions of dollars. Members who are paying attention. They're informed about the topics that are important to them, they pay their membership dues and they vote. So remember, when you say 'the NRA', you're talking about a very large chunk of Americans, not some rag-tag group sitting in Mom's basement grousing about the stingy welfare check they live off, or some group of school kids who were recently scared witless by a maniac with a gun in their midst. Back up, take a breath, put the emotions down and then consider the proposition in a calm, reasonable manner.

Ew.

30 months on the ice and I didn't want to leave. Seriously. I had no idea how accustomed I had gotten to being in such a beautiful isolated place until I got back into this so-called 'civilization'. The things you never noticed before that stand out like sore thumbs... It took forever for me to see the horizon and not notice the 'haze' that is always there. I just got so used to clean air and clear skies. And people seem 'different'. You notice things like never before, and not all of them good, believe me. It took me a long time to get comfortable again.

Yep, our field radios were usually hand-held maritime VHF unless I went with them, then I took the HF transceiver, because even out there, I had a radio sched. to stick to. Oh, Antarctica was such a beautiful place. You see it for the first time and you just know there really is a God.

I don't think he even gave a thought to what he was writing. He advocates gun control but then tells me I can keep it. He has no idea what I have or why I keep it, and doesn't want to know. That was his parting shot after I obliterated his anti-second amendment ass.Go back and read the thread. It's actually pretty funny from a 'looking back' perspective.

Oh, yeah, it really is an awesome experience. Take a tent, camp out, catch the concert, all of that. We had a blast. Glory days!

An 'act', perhaps? Her hate, at times, was palpable, that's a fact. School kids were glad to see the back of her for sure. Real meals in school again! Hurray! Remember this?

All the kids called her 'the witch who stole lunchtime'.
