There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down....

this is so freaking unreal, I don't know anybody who owns a gun and I never touched one in my life

guns are like star wars legos, get the starter get the mods.

Yes, it's the lifestyle/identity that the firearms industry has managed to push that's the real problem.

Dean:

A "no-brainer." You can say that again.

i have a german air rifle that shoots pellets and before i had neighbors i liked to shoot at tin cans. it's been sitting in the closet for about 15 years now.

chris:

the 2nd amendment is not about hunting weapons. its about a well regulated militia which can step in to defend the people against an oppressive, authoritarian government. i think we should all agree it doesn't make sense anymore.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:23pm
dale:

we have an army now. we don't need civilians to pony up and defend us from taxes on tea. we count on poor folks with no better options after high school to die for our oil. er, i meant tea.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:27pm
melinda:

@chris you're right. They didn't see a need to regulate hunting weapons. It doesn't make sense anymore now that we have an army, but I don't see us changing it either.

Ronceverte! I lived most my life in Morgantown up in the north. I was at a folk/oldtime/etc. festival in Ronceverte circa '78 maybe.

Bodybuilding and action flicks, comedies
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:41pm

I was thinking wrestling specifically @Dean, but yeah. Action flicks count for this

Oh, and obvs Idiocracy. President Camacho was a wrestler. That's what it reminds me of

Right, point being one can argue Trump crossed a barrier, but celebrity dunce to chief executive isn't the barrier. Not sure what it is. Feels more like a sudden drop in expectations.
