THAT explains the surge in mass shootings since the 1960s
Was that cartoon drawn by a real six year old or by his gun hating mom?
Anyway, Dr. Williams nails it: “Customs, traditions, moral values and rules of etiquette, not just laws and government regulations, are what make for a civilized society, not restraints on inanimate objects.”
Anti-Western attitudes and promotion of anti-Western cultures.
In our rural Texas high school in the late ‘50s, boys had their guns in their unlocked lockers all day, so they could go hunting after school. There never was a problem with either theft or murder. That’s because all the children in our school were reared by Christian parents who expected responsibility from an early age.
I’m tired of my gun trying to get me in trouble, so I’m taking it to an anger Management course today.. Being Proactive is the only way..
My gun is the son of a gun as well, both sides of the family, Smith & Wesson, and probably has it’s dangerous family traits, and you really can’t blame it.. Bad gun..
Liberals and all the societal rot they cause is the problem.
I think I need to take mine to an anti sexual harassment training. The other day I caught my Mossberg looking at my wife's LCP .380 in a decidedly ungentlemanly like way. Now, the Mossberg stays loaded all the time (which he should probably seek treatment for too) but he's never killed nor even threatened anyone. Never "accidentally discharged" or anything like that. Though grand-dad's old 30-30 is leaned up in the corner saying "just you wait you young whipper-snappers, AD can happen to anyone, why back in 1952..."
Yep, as a "responsible gun owner" you have to stay on top of these things. They have a mind of their own dontcha know. While it is easy to fault them when something bad happens (as oh so many people do fault them) I tend to look deeper. It isn't really the firearms' fault it wasn't raised in a loving and caring environment. Not it's fault it couldn't achieve high marks on the range. Many are disadvantaged from the start and don't set their sights high enough.
Ok, enough silliness. I've got to get to work. Gotta fund insurance for a couple of illegals' families that are counting on me for healthcare. (unlike the other paragraphs, sadly not satire)

Had a similar experience when growing up in rural Arkansas (I’m 68). We kept shotguns and rifles in our cars, many were stashed in gun racks on the back window of pickups. My freshman year of college at Arkansas Tech which was/is located in very rural Arkansas, I kept my deer rifle in my dorm room. I got in trouble with the dorm mom for having Playboy pinups taped on my room walls and had to remove them but not a word was ever said about my deer rifle. The times have indeed changed......
Good to see another responsible gun owner.. Too many bad guns, getting away with murder for far too long.. :)

Shotguns and deer rifles in gun racks in windows of pick ups were common in my Texas high school parking lot in the late 70s. No one ever thought anything about it.
Guns ARE a problem. Especially when the law abiding don’t carry them.
Stuyvesant H S, mentioned. An all male school until the feminist movement. The rifle team, boy’s from every borough of the city, traveled to and from school, to after school “rifle meets” with other schools, CARRYING THEIR ENCASED RIFLES, BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION,bus/subway- NO PROBLEM
I think my guns are well-behaved but lonely. I'm planning on getting them some companions.
Shucks, in the early/mid 60’s in Albuquerque there were always at least a couple of rifles in gun racks in the pick-up trucks in the student parking lot. Never became an issue. Today, you can’t wear a shirt with a gun on it because it might be threatening or offensive. How far we’ve fallen. (Can’t even order a gun out of Popular Mechanics or Field & Stream. LOL!)
To be honest, I have seen this graphic a few times in the past...And I have to wonder...
Does anyone believe this picture, and the statements made in it were really the sole work of a child, and their own opinion about gun-control???
A part of me says yes, but I believe it was a setup from the get-go...That child obviously has been the product of the effort to breed this type of anti-freedom message at an early age...And it is obviously more prevalent than just this instance...
Unfortunately, these kids grow up, and it is unlikely they will ever change their mind about the issue...
And if the time ever came that this child ever faces a situation where they wish they had the means to defend themselves, and they somehow relinquish themselves to fate, and the good graces of the person threatening them...
They’re being dissapointed (that help was not right there)does not garner any pity from me...You made your bed, now you get to lay in it...
Again, just my opinion...
I would love to attend a meeting like that...
Especially if you placed your gun on the table, as a sign of respect to the others, because of the potential dissagreements that may follow...
I vaguely rememebr that being something done back in the day when you could have a dissagreement with another person, show your cards, and work things out...Everyone seemed to desire to work things out and everyone end up going home at the end of the discussion...
An Anger Management class (session) would probably disperse rather abruptly if this ever happened...hehehe
You could almost say, “Was it something I said???” ;-)
/funny stoopid rant
Well, shoot...You beat me to the punch...hehehe
