If LaPierre had held up that mag to make some pro gun point and was arrested most everyone here, myself included would be going ballistic.   Just because it was done to make an opposing point  does not make it any worse.   the law is ridiculous no matter who breaks it.

I have had a two dollar bill in my wallet since 1976

I don't believe this for one second.   A ,22 not in a gun is not going to propel itself into someone's leg.   This dufus somehow shot himself and it had nothing to do with loose ammo hitting the floor.

i see the youngest grandson use sticks as guns. He does it all the time.  He has toy guns, a nerf gun and airsoft gun but he prefers sticks as guns.  Makes me laugh.   Not sure how I can ban sticks seeing as we live in the woods.   You can't teach this stuff, kids do it on their own.

really following this story.  I am sure NBC and Gregory will beat the rap and I am interested to see how it plays out.   I am about positive if LaPierre had pulled a standard capacity mag out of his pocket he would have been arrested on air.

  Awesome David, thank you.  See you Sunday

I really do not understand why this stuff is so upsetting to people.   Gun owners or possessors willingly turn them in.   I like guns and enjoy owning, shooting, and handling them as much as anyone.  But a gun buy back does not affect me or any of you at all. It is not illegal, immoral or forced upon anyone.   And every time something like this is announced people post up that " we oughta go stand on the street and offer cash"  Yet no one here has ever done it that I am aware of.   heck people, worry about crap that matters

Sticks and coal

  A couple of weeks ago we got a call from Cameron's school saying he had hurt his arm in the gym.  Not knowing the extent of the injury I went to his elementary school to see for myself if he needed further attention.  He was fine btw.   But what I did notice is I walked right into the school office, the only people visible was a nice older lady and a Knox deputy who had his face buried in a laptop.  If I had been up to no good he would not have stopped me.  From there you go through an unlocked door right into the heart of the school. And moments after speaking to the lady about the boy and waiting for him to come to the office the cop left the place and drove off.   Did not seem very secure to me.  Seems the cop should be outside seeing what goes on where he may be able to head off trouble.  And I should not have been able to walk right in.   I believe armed guards are an answer, but not one who is only there part time and not paying attention anyway.

I thought it was already determined that the long gun in the car was a shotgun.   The local ME has said the shooter used .223 to do his bit.

I won't lower myself to their level.  Taking the high road is always the better route.

glad I am poor after reading this. 

Dunno who won but it an awesome thing you do Gordon.

    you got all the parts I left out, except it is my grandparents I miss most.  Recalling Xmas past is a big part of it,  big part.

I ain't seeing it

P.T. Barnum said it best.

if someone could actually get one million gun owners to stand on the mall, armed or unarmed, congress would truly take notice.   Can you imagine a million armed people in DC?  What would the cops do?  It would be very interesting.

Fights must be popular for Christmas.  Lots and lots of customers used dealing with family as why they were buying wine and spirits.  I pretty much think it is all in good humor and most people were only kidding.   My only lasting tradition is I enjoy getting up very early, well before the grandkids ( kids back in the day) or anyone else and enjoying the peace of it all.  I stand outside and ingest caffeine and nicotine.   I enjoy the silence, road noise is at it's most minimum, and the slightest breeze drowns it out totally.  The world seems calm and perfect for those few minutes.   While not religious at all those few moments early in the pre dawn hours give me hope for humanity.   Merry Christmas everyone.

It is a game, I assume most would get frustrated and just buy it then and there.   reminds me of an electronics store that I knew of years back.  They had a guarantee that they would beat anyone's price on like items. Seems all of their electronics and appliances has model numbers exclusive to their store.  No other store could possibly have like items. It was a racket.

airing of grievances will be later this afternoon   Festivus for the restofus

the post above is a great rule

nothing like some Jim Crow stuff going on

420 is fairly common it seems.  are you all naive?
