But dont worry, at least for now, its not up to me.

Hmmm, keith does seem to be right about you.

I think Geo was mentioning one person, actually two, that dont need mental health taxing and funding. Theyre just breaking the law. Hey, weve talked about selective enforcement, but you maintain the inability to be bothered by bumps in the road towards your agenda, huh?

Make no mistake about it, your agenda only applies to controlling law abiding citizen across the nation, and not just one fellow in the great state of Georgia. If you want productive discussion, how about publicly caning meth addicts until they associate the buzz with pain? What dad would walk around the show and tell folks, thats my boy?

Pardon me for answering, but I think one of the fellows said that the one percenters are a godsend to poor folks. Did I answer correctly? Im sorry, the how would be a reward system for philanthropy?

As per usual, when you just spin what I write into what you wished I wrote... Wrong on all counts!

When you actually want to have a discussion with me about what I actually write... I'm happy to oblige, but until then you may enjoy talking to the imaginary me.

I got a new perspective on the "do something" movement yesterday evening, and it's been bothering me ever since. A distraught father came over last night to talk about his grown son being in jail for felony firearm possession (by a felon).

His boy has been a nutcase since birth and in jail most of the last 15 years, on and off. He has a felony conviction among a lot of other things, mostly drug related, but has been out a few months on probation now living with his mom and dad. He has been working a labor job but has gotten back in to meth.



His dad says the meth has led to a serious paranoia problem and the boy/young man has developed the delusion that he needs a gun for protection from rival ex prison gang members. He bought one off the street (probably stolen) and his dad has been helpfully trying to show him how the 9mm auto pistol works. He even signed the son up for "safe shooting lessons".

Things went bad recently and the boy and his mom got into a screaming fight, resulting in the son firing the weapon. Neighbors called police and they arrested him.

Dad's concern was what safer gun, maybe a revolver in a smaller caliber he could get the boy if he got out of jail, which he always seems to do. I told the dad he was the problem for enabling not to mention aiding and abetting his son's felony gun possession.

The dad's response was "we have to do something about the gun show loophole" which he says caused the problem. I pointed out that the gunshow loophole had nothing to do with a convicted felon buying a stolen 9 off the street, and why should I pay the price of loss of my rights for his kid's mental illness.

The problem is that the dad's take on the matter is what I am afraid has become the majority opinion in the country. I don't like what I see in the future, but like King, I'm old anyway...Geo

Sorry for the rant.


Geo,
Just have Pops proclaim the lad is an undocumented alien, and have him take up residence in a sanctuary city/state/fiefdom somewheres. Firearms laws, hell, any laws dont apply to illegals in those areas.

Best,
Ted

Wrong?

You said the farmer was a criminal, I said he was a criminal. I say therere laws against and punishments for crime. Your conclusion was gun control in the name of mental health.

Please explain, what did I get wrong or misrepresent? In truth, I have very little desire to discuss anything with you, but I offer the above with the hope of an answer, not predictability.

Good ideas?
Hard work?
Deferred gratification?

Sound like the path most wildly successful entrepreneurs take to join the 1%. You know, all those left leaning Silicon Valley billionaires.

Take a look at the list of the world's billionaires. More than half are self made. And the other half? Most of them are busy getting rid of the fortunes their fathers or grandfathers created.

The 1%? It's a hoax!

I rarely shopped in WallyWorld and will shop there even less now.
I do not like the idea of corporate America pushing a socio-political agenda and IMO that's all this is.

I see it now King... more of your deflecting and evading. Try just once to be honest. That question you posed was a response to craigd. It was not directed toward me.

But the so-called ONE PERCENTERS have nearly always been with us. The strong and the smart found innovative or coercive ways to accumulate wealth and power. Kings had the castles and gold and treasure. They conquered and pillaged, and like your liberal left Democrats, they taxed and taxed some more. Others invented, or invested in the things the masses desired. They worked hard instead of waiting for handouts from those who work. They built factories and developed energy and natural resources for consumers.

No poor man ever gave me a job. I don't spend my life being critical and envious of those who did far more to raise my standard of living than any Socialist who ever breathed.

Now that I've responded to your question King... what excuse will you find now to avoid answering my question about your pal SKB and his continuous free advertising here, and taking advantage of Dave? Why is that OK in your mind, yet you said my link to NRA-Political Victory Fund was cheating Dave?

Hell, you even complained about a little picture of Ronald Reagan in another tagline I used, and said I was again cheating Dave by advertising for the RNC. Yet SKB Stevie is blatantly running continual advertisements for his gunsmithing and gun importing business, and not a peep from you about it.

Maybe other gunsmiths, stockmakers, and businessmen should also feel free to take advantage of Dave. You seem to think it is OK... for some at least.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

It looks like "OUR" hurricane Dorian is headed all the way to Nova Scotia. Probably won't be much left of it by the time it gets there, but best wishes and be safe to our most prominent member from the area...Geo
