Displaced Texan

The law of unintended consequences always applies. Everything liberals touch turns to shit.

This I can agree with, but again, how much potential does this have for abuse?

Do you trust a government official to make those determination? Does this official have an anti gun agenda? Im not crapping on you. I just see the huge potential for the ‘mental health eval’ to be abused by the government.

But WHO decides if you’re ‘mentally fit’ enough to own a gun? Can you see that as an extremely slippery slope?

Anyone without a criminal background should pass the NICS check quickly. The shooters who bought their firearms legally passed the same way. The problem is, that you can’t identify intent with a background check. So tell me, how do we make background checks ‘better’ so that we can determine the intent of the firearms buyer? We can’t see what’s inside someone’s mind.

I don’t think there is a whole hell of a lot we can do, in the big picture, to prevent crazy people from hurting others. Regardless of what tool they choose, if they are motivated enough, they will find a way to cause harm to innocent people. You have no idea of the horrible damage one can inflict upon others by just using items found in your kitchen cleaning cabinet. I also do not believe that law abiding citizens should be restricted from their 2A rights because of the actions of a few nut jobs. I don’t know how to prevent these senseless and crazy acts of violence going forward, but I DO know, that allowing your rights to be restricted in ANY way isn’t, and never will be, the answer.

While there is no observation of Memorial Day for us in Japan, I will be sitting back and reflecting this evening about how fortunate we truly are, that countless veterans sacrificed, and gave the ULTIMATE sacrifice to protect our freedoms. As many problems and challenges we face in our country today, none of us would be where we are today if it wasn’t for the past, present, and future warfighters of our country. When I return to the hotel, I will also be cracking a bit of whisky to toast, and remember the great men and women who sacrificed for all of us. And I hope that you all will take a moment from your day to do the same.

I don’t disagree with you, and I also think that’s an issue. This is why, to somewhat cover my ass, I will only sell to a Texas CHL holder.

I don’t believe restricting the law abiding citizen does anything at all to quell gun crimes. Criminals will steal, buy them on the black market, or have them straw purchased for them. I think ‘mental health checks‘ are a very dangerous slope. WHO gets to decide if you are mentally fit or not? And by what definitions? Yes we do. Personally, I won’t sell F2F to anyone who doesn’t have a Texas CHL, but that’s not required for anyone to do.

References for what? Buying a gun? We walk into a gun store, pick what you want, and fill out a 4473. If the NICS check is good, you walk out the door with it. Last NICS check I did took him longer to dial the phone than it did to get the approval. I should add that if you have a valid Texas CHL, you don’t need the NICS check.

I rule in favor of….Pork Roll. Case closed.

Many people died in their sleep LONG before the Covid jab. And many will die in their sleep post Covid jab. Such is life. We are born to eventually die. Not EVERYTHING is Covid. Or the Covid jab.

I always thought Ray was severely underrated as an actor. He did get typecast as a mafia guy, but he played that role so well. Loved him in Goodfellas. RIP, Mr. Liotta.

He needs to harden the fuck up.

Ordered a T2 to replace the ACOG on my AUG.

Thanks. Been here almost 3 weeks. Have another 9 days to go!

I’m in Japan at the moment. We are 13 hours ahead of you. It’s 4:15 pm on Thursday here.

Hey, my HOA doesn’t allow that….otherwise, I might have one!

I think it pays to be suspicious ALL the time. Especially when it comes to someone you don’t know knocking at your door, or approaching you on the street.

This is correct. The Clinton Crime Bill (which the AWB was a part of), did NOT statistically reduce crime at all. Pretty well outlined in the FBI Crime Statistics of that era.

That’s true!

When I lived in NJ, we got regular door to door salesmen hawking solar panels, roofs, windows….all sorts of stuff. We don’t see that in Texas.

No pork roll in Japan. Plenty of pork snouts though.

Ok that’s funny as hell!
