Not So Pro 3

[Lnk]

I had this convo w wifey last night. She grew up in a no-gun house. I grew up in a completely different environment where i was taught to respect firearms, not fear them. Most people would think the way that i vote means im anti-gun, which couldnt be further from the truth. Im staunchly anti-*dipsticks-with-guns tho.

Nobody should care how anyone votes as long as they are the one who votes. We all make decisions based on our own research. We don't all use the same information to make our decisions. I respect others opinions, even if I disagree with them. That is what is missing these days. They called it debate back in my day. My kids never had debate teams at school. Such a shame.

so called victims

No likes. In fact, the biggest NO LIKE available.

Ima need time out. My fault, i started this.

In high school we took firearms instructions, shot 22 rifles in our gym. Had a trick shooter put on a show. Wonder how that would go over today? I enjoy people who say AR stands for assault rifle. I also lost all my firearms canoeing, what a day.

Apologies, was not my intention, as I said, I wasn't there. Forgive my choice of words. I am very sceptical of reporting. Again, my apologies.

Mad respect bro. But something is wrong tho isn't it.

Absolutely. But in the case of the US, its just not going to take the same shape as the reform you mentioned earlier in oz. Theres a lot of low hanging fruit out there that could prevent a lot of the high profile mass shootings. But a thing to also keep in mind is that handguns kill many many times more people every year than rifles of any sort. So we all gotta agree on what our problem is before we can solve it.

I was also taught to respect guns. There is no oops with a gun. I carried my dad’s 2 rules he had for us over to my kids.
1. Don’t touch my guns
2. Don’t ever touch my guns

So heres my two cents if its relevant.
Grew up in a family where "sporting arms" we're a means of subsistence for many years.
There wouldnt be meat in the home if game wasnt brought in.
Times have changed, and had changed by the time I came along.
That was no longer a requirement, but they still enjoyed supplementing the diet with wild game, and we still do.

Some of the first lessons I was taught were how to respect a firearm.
I wasnt allowed to touch one AT ALL until I had gained enough age and teaching for them to deem it safe.
I spent a lot of my younger years with a "BB gun". I was taught to handle it just as if it were a deadly firearm.
The first things a child should learn is that above all, weapons should be RESPECTED, due to the power they posess.
It was NEVER taught that they should be used against another human being.

My father and grandfather were both veterans, and had both seen combat firsthand. They knew that that was the LAST THING a gun should be used for.

I say that the larger problem we all have is the breakdown of the family unit, and the breakdown of our mental healthcare systems in many countries, especially here.

I respect others opinions, even if I disagree with them.

This. Absolutely this. Not being able to have respectful conversations with people who we disagree with is NOT taking our country in a good direction. We must always remember that we are all just human beings trying to get thru this life in the best way we can.

Apologies, was not my intention, as I said, I wasn't there. Forgive my choice of words. I am very sceptical of reporting. Again, my apologies.

The man who isn't afraid to apologize will always have my respect.

I agree.
We used to have "discussions" on this, and nobody went away feeling like they went 9 rounds with Tyson.
It was just to air out how we all felt about current events and what our government was doing at the time.
Some felt a bit more frustrated than others, but nobody felt there was a complete breakdown ensuing, and the loss of our basic freedoms and rights.

Things have definitely changed, and we seem to be decively divided here.
I cant help but think thats by design. Forgive me for that omission, but I think what we all as citizens need to do is to get together and agree to disagree on the basis of preserving our nation as a whole.
There are a lot of different ways to get to where we all want to be.
None of those options are currently being offered by our leadership.

That is the thing we ALL need to change.

I'm back, and i've calmed down.
The term so called triggered me Larry, they got shot bro. There was no so called about it.
I appreciate your retraction.

Adam, I didn't mean to offend. I just hate the liars and the deceivers. I saw what happened in Newtown and the contradictions and deception. I no longer trust our governments or our 5th estate, the media. Somewhere there is the truth, unfortunately we may never know what it is. My heart aches for all victims, of both senseless violence, and government wars. Without governments, there would be no wars. I have nothing against anyone. Live and let live.

I will stand by not knowing what really happened. I wasn't there. Again, I try not to offend. I will choose my words more carefully.
