  1. And I’m is!!!! Until we can buy sheen guns, there is still work to do.
  2. You are wrong. Have you ever had a real discussion with someone from “the other side?” They want to solve the same problem but they view the path to get there differently. Im talking about the average democrat here. Not the ones in DC and not the talking heads on TV.
  3. You misunderstand my point. I can see why it was taken that way. Both sides MUST agree to honest and open discussion. Not debate. Discussion. Progress towards a common goal cannot happen without that. And currently, no one is willing to have a discussion. Politicians are more interested in remaining in office, while their constituents are too busy demonizing one another.
  4. I’ve had a long time to mull this over and I believe that my opinions are about to be incredibly unpopular and some of you will likely view me differently, if you had an opinion of me at all. But I’m reminded of the cliche that freedom isn’t free. I’m heartbroken for the families and friends that lost their loved ones. I do not view this as anything other than the tragedy that it is. And I know that cliche isn’t typically used this way but it’s the other side of the coin. Sometimes bad things are going to happen. There are precautions we can take to minimize these risks but I’m not sure how I feel about police in schools. I understand that the world is different than my generation and those older than me grew up. But we didn’t have that. Children already think of schools as prison and uniform patrol is going to be the prison guards. I don’t believe that this is going to be healthy for our youths in the long term. I’m okay with this strategy if we are using it as a bandaid with a limited life span. But we must attack the root of the problem and begin to reform our society. I don’t know what that involves or what it looks like. I’m not smart enough and haven’t done the required research. But I know it must happen soon or we already much too late. I fear the future. I fear for our children. The strongest moves anyone could make right now would be to sit down at a bipartisan table and have honest discussions. Lay out the goals and begin to map a path to achieve those goals. We aren’t all going to get what we want. But we must all recognize that concessions we make at that table are for the betterment of our children and ultimately our society’s future.
  5. Hmmm. Rings a bell but still just can’t quite place the name. Haha
  6. And you are????

    If you don’t have eggs, it doesn’t matter what happens to the basket!!!!
  12. That looks less like they are providing protection than ensuring he does what they tell him to do. Generally providing protection requires looking AWAY from your protectee.
  13. Oh I absolutely understand. But we are talking about 5-20 mph for usually less than a couple miles. I’d take that chance to keep the bike from overheating or myself from getting smashed by inattentive drivers. Tires are cheap. Engines and hospital bills are not.
  14. I stopped by the shop Tuesday and ordered a new front tire. I haven’t ridden mine enough cause it was dry rotted and cracked all over the sidewall. Hope to have it installed next week. Admittedly I haven’t ridden as much I want to.
  15. The shoulder bill was limited to interstate and highways. And it was only under very specific circumstances. And you couldn’t go more than 5 mph faster than traffic, and only to the next exit. In my mind, it was a perfect bill to protect us and our bikes.
  16. A few years ago they had a bill to allow us to use the shoulder on the interstate in cases of traffic Jams. It failed but I liked the bill.
  17. They will be doing traffic stops on the interstate but unlike scorpion, I do not believe they roll as a unit. And no, they weren’t recently deactivated. It’s been several years at least.
  18. STEU is not Scorpion Unit. All Scorpion officers were reassigned to OCU. STEU is the cars that you used to see with the flip up yellow arrow on the roof. They are supposed to deal with incidents on the expressway and assist with traffic control during critical accident investigations.
  19. I had a high tower years ago and the trigger was awful. I used an excessive amount of electrical tape to take up some of the slack in it but it was still pretty bad.
  20. https://www.maxpedition.com/collections/legacy Maxpedition legacy series all on a buy one get one free sale.
  21. Put your readers on granpa!
  22. Guns are bad. But as long as the bad guys (whoever that may be to you) have guns, Imma have mine.
  23. Some people are gay. Some are gayer than others. Walking Dead had a gay couple. A couple actually. Who cares. As long as they don’t make me participate, be gay mane!
  24. Not the first time that sentence has been uttered and won’t be the last time this week.
  25. Your money would be better spent on a dinner for your local elected reps.
