Is pissed!

[Blaze]

Get home, feed kiddos, come to my bedroom and turn on news. First it's coverage of Sante Fe and then local on the Bever 911 call. Why does anyone want to hear the 911 of a dying child, why?

I shed a few tears this afternoon because of another school shooting. Young innocent lives lost and an obviously a mentally disturbed child who did the most ultimate horrific thing.

So I'm deep in thought over it all, plus how the news reports it. The staging, the clips of distraught children etc...

Then my email goes off and it's from X about need more gun reforms and providing three links for ME to check out.

Needless to say I replied with true Blaze fashion. I informed the bot or possibly a human how they needed professional help, spamming me even before these children were even buried. I said much much more and it was cold.

The 2nd Amendment works, current gun laws work and you can't always fix crazy. As I write this I'm reminded of how I am becoming desensitized in part to this whole issue. While I do not own own a gun, Im pro NRA and gun rights. It's like I've become a person who can't even entertain a conversation of reform because why do we need laws for laws?

Still yet, had that child not gained possession of his father's guns,, he still would have blown shit up!

We live in a world where children do not respect guns or the rules of gun handling. When are parents or caregivers going to protect their guns? When are they going to be responsible with ownership. When when when?

I remember going to school and trucks having gun racks, plus sometimes there were actually guns on them. I wss raised in the country and gree up around hand guns, riffles, and shotguns. I got my first BB gun when I wss like 7yrs old. I never once consisered even looking at either one of my parents guns without permission, much less breathe on one of them. I knew where they were put out at night or when we left the house. My son was raised the same with his arsonal.

Why do they muddle the facts with these shootings? Normal people and most people with mental issues do NOT do these things. A person who does, has issues most of us can't wrap our heads around. Even a two yr old will develope a plan and scale a high rise to get that thing it wants....

Rant over.

Thank you !! We need more common sense people like you in this country.. Let me add, you are not becoming de-sensitized! You just are not involving yourself In the sensationalism of it all.

[hardroad69]

I felt the same way this morning Blaze. What the heck is happening to our country?

[Blaze]

I don't understand either? Because of snowflakes and abusive parents we can only discipline our children with the constant fear of being punished and labeled ourselves. It's a constant clash of far right and far left,,, where is the center?

This kids have so much technology I don't even understand,, at their fingertips. Then too much times on their hands.

You are right Winn-Dixie ( great perspective btw) I do not want to give audience to that which fuels and feeds the animal the media and social media platforms have created. To me, it's like handing these kids a lighted match.

I grew up in a house with several shotguns propped up in every corner, and you couldn't open a closet without them falling out.... literally falling out.
My father was a gunsmith...owned and operated a gun shop out of our home. Sometimes his customers couldn't pay for his services so they bartered and traded with him. We had enough to supply a militia, and most of them were not ever registered...with many that didn't have serial numbers on them. A lot of 'kit' guns, many antiques... My father also hosted the weekly gun club for our county, right in our backyard. I had handled so many guns as a very young child. My sisters and I all learned to shoot at the age of 4. We were then initiated into the gun club. We also taught how to break them down and rebuild them. The guns propped up in corners? Finished guns waiting to be picked up, and since both parents worked full-time jobs outside of the home, it was up to us girls to answer the door and give the right gun to the right customers. They all had yellow receipts rolled up and sticking out of the barrels.

Our way of life was passed down to the grandchildren and now the great-grandchildren. My great nephew just learned how to shoot his first gun two weeks ago, at the age of 6...he's getting a late start.

How many accidents have we had? ZERO. How often did we irresponsibly handle a gun? ZERO. Four generations and not one little issue.

It is about teaching gun safety and respecting the power they possess and you possess while you handle them. Yes, but that is all secondary to teaching how to be a respectful, responsible, loving and caring human being. Without that, the gun safety goes out the window.

Trace back in history to 1964 and LBJs Great Society that destroyed the country. People thought J Edgar Hoover was out of control. He is a piker compared to the scum at the top of the FBI and CIA. People just had to elect a black president so they elected a subversive socialist Obama. You have to read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to understand what is happening today. Saul was a mentor of Obama and Hillary, and everything you see today follows his rules to the T. The Democrats and media condemn Trump for calling MS-13 animals - that is exactly what most Americans call them. Why isn't the military called out = round up these scum and either deport them or preferably kill them. in 1962 the Soviet Union put out its plan to destroy America, and #15 on the plan is to take over at least one of the major parties, and what do you think we are seeing today. Nikita Kruschev came right out and said he would destroy America from within. They are trying to deflect attention from their stated goal to destroy America by pushing gun control. Stop arguing about guns and go for the head of the snake and attack the Democrat party and the media. Another thing why is George Soros still alive? Another thing, destroy the socialist lead NEA they are filling kids heads with hatred and socialist teachings. Look at what has destroyed Europe - socialism. If you don't know it yet Europe is dead thanks to the European Union.

I wish we had a "like" button....i'd hit it a few thousand times agreeing with that Suzy.

Amen!! Kudos to suzanna and blaze!!

Blaze, I will have to look you up next fall when I come up to Tulsa for Wanenmacher's

Talk about liberal media... Trying to pry my eyes open this morning, I look at notifications. Accidently hit an email and its from The Huffington post. Their dramatical headlines added to my nausea.

Pretty pleased that I was able to fort thru all the candidates and go vote. I have my runoff list prepared. I wonder Trump will pick for SCOTUS? I think he should get this done quickly since he's already had a list in front of him, not to mention he considered a few.

[Guest 122923-2]

I’m with you Blaze. So while I think he already has a short list of 40+ I’m guessing the final 3-4 are already identified. Out of respect for the retiring justice he will wait to make an announcement until the date the retirement takes effect. But then I’m hoping in a week or two thereafter the candidate is nominated.

As devisive as Trump has become, I’m very thankful he and not Hillary, are making SC selections. I can’t imagine what this country would look like if we lost the conservative slant at SCOTUS. Would the constitution even matter if the far lefties were to take over?

[Slowhanz57]

According to the leftists the Constitution is an old, irrelevant document that just needs to go away.

[Blaze]

CBS did pick up the OKC restaurant story. I just don't understand why these kids think they will get away with it? Is it just a case of suicide by cop, but they are so young with crazy hormones and under developed brains they have to take as many as they can with them?

He was twenty-eight. Not a kid. A grown-ass man. Another loon with a history and plenty of warning.

I was talking about both, OKC and school shootings.
