A few lines struck me as to what we are seeing now. "Specifically, it suggests that functional mental illness is a characteristic disease of prosperous and secure liberal democracies. " "The more a society is dedicated to the value of equality and the more choices it offers for individual self-determination, the higher its rates of functional mental illness. These rates increase in parallel with the increase in the available occupational, geographical, religious, gender and lifestyle-related choices." "Equality inevitably makes self-definition a matter of one’s own choice, and the formation of personal identity—necessary for mental health—becomes personal responsibility, a burden some people can’t shoulder." and then this one is just scary, "In contrast, rates of functional mental illness in societies that are insecure, poor, inegalitarian or authoritarian are remarkably low. For decades, the World Psychiatric Association has pondered the “perennial puzzle” of the relative immunity to such illnesses in Southeast Asian countries." aknifemaker, thanks for the link

Untold millions are there from the big give away in the past few years. Schools have not spent it yet, the law that gave the money out did not say what the money had to be spent on. I am sure some went to administration to line pockets of teachers to tow the line.

Wish I could like this about a million and a half times!

With the latest shooting the story has me thinking. If my child is killed by a firearm would you give up your firearm? If your child is killed by a firearm would you ask me to give up my firearm? A few years back a good friend lost his oldest to suicide, never showed a sign. Stole his brothers hand gun. We have went to the range together before and after. These questions were not asked. "It is hard to acknowledge that the death of innocent children is a price we are willing to pay for freedom. But it's true. And while we cannot fully control the vagaries of evil and death, we can be honest. We can, even in our deep pain, look truly at our role in allowing evil to flourish, fed by the fulsome fuel of freedom. " https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/texas-school-shooting-guns-freedom-constitution "This is a conversation that we refuse to have. A debate between accepting the horrible risks of freedom or of living our lives under greater control and limitation in the name of safety. It is a conversation that requires courage, and one that we must no longer avoid. Freedom is dangerous, and it is no use pretending that it isn’t. "

I found what I need, as far as your question. Savage 110, with the he 35 Whelen there are a lot of projectiles available to use.

WOW, a rifle and 400 dollars of ammo(if you buy smart), if only I had not spent my fun money. GLWS Besides it is wrong handed.

got nothing!

The last time the OP was here was 5/5/22.

"No Escape" was another I enjoyed as well.

Take it to your local gun shop, see if they want it.

RIP Mr Ray

WOW, there is a LOT to take in from that page!

I am getting old

35 Whelen

Actual problem is mental illness, Very hard to address. A solution would be to put more armed individuals in the schools to protect the unarmed innocent ones.

So glad this is not left handed, as I do not have the funds if it was.

I will 2nd this.

Praying for all the lost ones and their family's.

Mail in ballots and the mules.

Sounds like fun, have a good time.

Unless you have been around men at a certain gathering in Europe you are OK.
