I think you nailed how liberals think. They judge all cops by the actions of a few or all conservatives by the ideals they disagree with then demand everyone else be evaluated as individuals. It's intellectual laziness on their part is what it is.

Lives are lost to whackos like the girl who shot up the school, none were GIVEN. The victims aren't us and them. The anti-gun side isn't offering their lives in exchange for us giving up guns.

Remember when it was okay to not see things the same? We used to have this thing you're talking about called humanit. Wasn't that nice?

I agree 100%, sir. My youngest was in trouble at school all the time, but she loved the SRO even when he was fussing at her or stopping her from doing something wrong (trying to find a place to smoke or trying to ditch school). She was NOT taught that cops are the enemy.

I definitely appreciate the idea of being incognito too. That's why I personally NEVER choose to open carry. I suspect more criminals will walk away from a crime when they see a cop if it's an either/or decision only.

I don't see the link here to red flag laws. And trust me, I'm watching for that like a hawk. I thing red flag laws are a horrendous miscarriage of justice in any form they offer it because it bypasses due process.

I prefer the visual deterrent of a uniformed officer, personally.

Same thing happened to me in HS, a close friend invited me to supper. I never turn down a home-cooked meal, but he seemed anxious for me to see how his people eat. It was just like we ate at my house, except we there was no eggs in the greens and his momma put sugar in her cornbread. LOL I'll argue to my dying days that we all have more things in common than things we don't. Some folks just keep pointing out the differences to keep us at odds.

Lucky for the world all someone can do about cultural appropriation is whine and cry about it. If I like tacos and my dream is to open a taco truck, there's no way I'm going to defer my dream because my culture didn't invent tacos. That's ludicrous. Nobody ran to defend Greek culture when Duncan started selling yo-yos or German culture for culturally appropriation of potato salad. This country is a melting pot, we can't come together if people are butthurt about such silly notions as "my people" are the only ones that can do this or that.

My legalese is weak, admittedly, so maybe I misread the EO. It seemed to me like the order is for courts and other entities required to report criminal history and court mental health info w/in 72 hours. I took that to mean they were already required to report, but there was not an enforced timeframe. Help me fill in the gap, I'm missing what the concern is.

To be fair, I have no clue what an average democrat is, but I don't associate with radically left people. I presume that means the only peopel from "the other side" that I interact with are the more moderate ones. If they are average, I find most to be Fudd democrats that only want to allow hunting weapons. They don't believe mass shooters use hunting weapons, so they seem to have similar goals as the radically left, they just have a stopping point for their confiscation plans.

You're right, we do have the most defensible position we've ever had. It was worth fighting for too!

Fair enough, but I think you eluded to the unavoidable impediment. One side wants to solve the problem and the other side only wants to confiscate gun from law-abiding citizens. All they bring to the table is "get rid of guns" that's why there can't be a reasonable discussion. They bring bullhorns, mindless chanting, and signs, not reason, logic, or practicality.

What brand did you go with. I'd like to look into that too.

I have Fobo TPMS on mine too. I LOVE them, but they make airing up a pain. Next tire change I'm adding t-valves so I can leave the TPMS in place and still air up.

Dang, what an adventure. Glad you're okay. That was an unbearable amount of time from calling for a tow to getting some rest at the hotel.

"Concessions for the kids" is right out of the socialist/communist textbook. That's how they disarm society. Our Constitutional rights have been conceded repeatedl: National Firearms Act (1934) Federal Firearms Act (1938) Gun Control Act (1968) Firearm Owner Protection Act (1986) Gun-Free School Zones Act (1990) Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993) Federal Assault Weapons Ban (1994) Have the anti-gun side given any concessions? Even one?

You're right about that. They day this all came out, I said a prayer for her parents too, because they're in the same boat. Regardless of her evil, her mom and dad are suffering as much as the other parents.

I find the K-9 security system is far more reliable than electronics. My doorbell cam misses things all the time, but the dogs NEVER EVER EVER do.

Sadly, with the vast majority of the MSM being in the left's pocket, you're right. Most will only learn what liberal news outlets want them to know and they'll use it against the people who are the opposite of this shooter.

There was a YT series I used to watch where they invited a celebrity to eat progressively hotter wings while they're being interviewed. I got a little obsessed and joined their hot sauce of the month club. Each month I'd get a hot, medium, and mild sauce. Most were darn good, but the hottest ones just tasted like chemical burns in your mouth.

I had a friend who asked me once "Why is it the only flavor my butt recognizes is fiery hot? Why can't I sit down on the toilet and think, aaahh jelly filled donuts?"

I've seen similar gun mounts. PVC is some versatile stuff.

I have both a son and a daughter that age. I'm not sure I believe it's possible to know everything they do or everything they're capable of. I don't think either would harm a fly, but if they did, I don't think it'd mean I wasn't a decent parent.

I could be mistake, but I think that's the gist of the problem, the people who could deny her from buying guns didn't know she had mental issues and the people that knew she had mental issues didn't know she was buying guns. Unless I'm mistaken, this is where the disconnect lies. We gotta find a way to join these 2 sides of the equation w/out trampling on innocent peoples' rights.
