Have I ever pulled a gun on anyone. Nope. Hope I never have to....
Let me tell you something...I see your heels are dug in.
I raised a family in the country and we always felt safe. And we weren't HELPLESS....if something would come up.
You...on the other hand seem helpless.........if you can't defend yourself.
You will have the last word..........
Thank you for the last word as you put it. I was raised on a ranch the first 10 years of my life and was doing the work of a man like plowing, irrigating, pruning, and laying raisin trays. I also hunted quail and dove on the property as in the late 40’s early 50’s everyone was cordial but not intrusive. We had migrant picking teams on the ranch at certain times of the year and we were wary of them and protected ourselves as needed.
And you told me enough about yourself by saying “Have I ever pulled a gun on anyone. Nope. Hope I never have to....” that unless someone attacks you or your family, you don’t sound like one who would cap someone for a difference of opinion or a surmised threat like Willis who drew down on two armed cops and was killed for the act. And that legitimizes the court’s concern about his ability to act in a civilized manner and not be a danger.
The thought process that the removal of a weapon from the hands of a questionably dangerous man until investigated is no different that when the left got down on Trump for wishing to hold out certain people coming from certain places in the world to our shores. Obama did the same thing and it was never designed to be permanent, either. Just to make sure we were safe by keeping out problem people. I don’t know if they are a problem or not. But they could be and I don’t want them here so I have to tangle with them or have our countrymen/women killed.
It’s the same with the “caravan” coming up from Central American. Are they not criminals or thieves? So in this case, they are neither innocent or guilty. They are just questionable. But they are breaking the law if they try forcing their way in. So that answer is already there.
Thank you for being civil and trying for discussion rather than insults. Makes for a better learning process. Good life to you.
