Please, correct my grammar. My point remains. There is no moral difference between one drug and another. I am neither superior nor inferior based upon my substance of choice..

A place to post another of my bits of outrage. Urban vs rural. This is the beginning of the 21st century. From now forward things are going to change, the automation and corporitization of Agriculture and mining is going to make the rural citizen more and more of a sad characterization of MA...

Gotcha, but why is diversity automatically a liability? Why does a mixture of firearms and varied culture invariably lead to deadly violence? What is this fear of other that we have bred into our culture?

Wine snobs rarely complain that the pouring and drinking of merlot is somehow immoral or indicates a character flaw. "Yeah, I smoke two grams of shatter a day but YOUR smoking that vial of crack means you steal from your grandma and can't possibly contain a single coherent thought in you...

See...that's the problem. We CANT issue rights that depend on what people need. No one needs a 300 ft yacht. No one needs a space ship, no one needs..caviar, no one needs servants. But what if one persons...needs, impinges on another's? Then what? She needs an abortion. He needs a...

Here it is again. Have a discussion, a real discussion about the realities of guns and gun culture in the United states and we quickly arrive at urban vs rural, "cold dead fingers" and somehow, indictments of black people. Essentially, that argument is "black people kill more black people than...

One afternoon I got a call from my daughter. She was working at a mall in the DC area. "Dad, there is shooting, my boss doesn't know what to do, tell me" She was working on the 2nd floor, an irate boyfriend of some mall creature decided that his true love and her dalliance and her dalliances...

Here is the sad news. America has its individual rights balanced upon the backs of minorities and the lives of children. We call it collateral damage. We have our freedoms at the cost of the lives of the unwilling and unaware. Want your right to travel? Gonna cost the poor their land for...

This is what I am talking about. Where the only really important right is to keep and bear, all the others are left undefended. Think about it. If one believes that guns are magical, that they keep the peace, protect from governmental harm, intrusion or exclusion, why bother with the 4th or...

I stated previously that everyone seems to think statistics only apply to everyone else. Statistics say you are 11 times more likely to contract delta, but YOU are real real careful. As though no one else in that statistical sample right? That is the point of statistics, it includes...

As for the constitution. I have often engaged the culturists in hypothetical. "You say you will take up arms in the event of governmental tyranny, when is that going to happen? Taxes have gone up, your voting rights are diminished, you have expressed extreme dissatisfaction as to how our...

Of course I see where your anti propaganda hairs go up. Yours is requires a convoluted answer. I don't see owning a gun as privilege but right as provided for in our founding document. But I see the gun culturists making far too much of the "shall not be infringed" part. When I see folks who...

Please let me be clear, I advocate the individual ownership of what ever non military firearm you want, no background check, no registration. Period. My issue is with American gun culture and the foolish lies gun owners tend to tell themselves and others. This thread was meant to address...

Not "require", I presume that pinnng should be in at least the high 70's but I've seen them perform lower. Considering that mycelium simply stops growing under refrigeration and begins again at higher and higher temperatures until exudate appears in the 90's and thermal death a little higher...

Funny, the post was placed here specifically for you. I intended to differentiate the true gun owner from the cultural affectation. Where is the emotion I'm my post? The "worshipers" I describe are the ones that cause most of the current problems. The ones that are obstructing reason and...

Guns are tools. Ok. Varmit rifle? Flat trajectory hopefully cheap ammunition, perhaps something where the bullet is frangible enough so that it won't bounce off the ground. Bigger game? Something heavy enough so the projectile won't be deflected by foliage, a heavy bullet that passes...

Let's talk about crime, not theft as in my opinion, possessions are not worth a life, anyone's life. I carry all sorts if insurance and everything is replaceable. I've been to lots of towns at night. But we live in a country that has more people in total and per capita behind bars. Just how...

Why?

The figure I have encountered is 0 to 20 percent.

But let's examine the next aspect of gun culture. The American gun culturist will not abide by any opinion other than full and complete acceptance of their viewpoint. One phrase that might cast a different perspective on anything but full endorsement of all guns and all gun mannerisms, will be...
