  1. So, how is everyone liking their free 7 month subscription of the NWO? This attempt looks like it may stick?

    None of us are prepared for what is planned. It is time to recognize this is not a left/right thing. This is top down FUD. The richest folks in the world (most are not found in Forbes) are friends and family, meet regularly, and do business in whatever country they want. The leaders of our country know of the "Fourth Turning" subtitled "What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendezvous with Destiny". Because it aint by chance. We are watching long term plans come to fruition. 

    The plebs will not decide what burns or when. They will be led by the corporate media/social media when the fruit is ripe and the carcass has been cleaned. History does not repeat itself, but it damn sure does rhyme. America has become too expensive and resource intensive to support. They intend to take us down to 3rd world country status in time for agenda 21.

    As always, the devil is in the details. Developing a process where there is true due process to determine if someone is a danger isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Ideally it would work in conjunction with adjustments to involuntary psychiatric hold laws to make it easier to get help for folks that need it while at the same time providing for a way for folks to have their rights reinstated after a period of time of improved mental health. Many psychiatric disturbances are temporary in nature and the laws should recognize that.

    An acquaintance of mine framed this in what I think is a near perfect manner. “If we viewed these mass shooting incidents as suicide in want of company, we might actually make some progress.” He was right. As gun owners we can’t say “this is a mental health issue, not a gun issue.” Then bury our heads in the sand and do nothing about addressing mental health issues. I don’t know that the bill being introduced by Dickerson is a good one or not, but I do think that as a state level action, there is the chance to actually make it a quality piece of workable law, and failing that tank it for cause and be vocal about why it wasn’t good legislation. This is a moment where movement will be made on these types of laws whether we like it or not. At the state level, we can make it a good law or we can eat a bad one. It’s up to us to choose.

     

     

     

    **I just encouraged civic engagement with lawmakers, do y’all know how bitter of a taste that leaves in my mouth? What’s the world coming to?🤦‍♂️**

     

    The problem with due process around mental health is that everyone is crazy, so who is going to be the judge? "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society".

  3. To "Republic" correctly requires a fair amount of homogeneity with regard to beliefs. The Founding Fathers knew this. We passed that point quite awhile ago and continue to dilute(and delude) our society. We are close to the precipice, where the slippery slope meets the whirlpool.

  4. Geographic dispersity is a problem on this board. Who wants to spend a day and fuel to save some bucks?

    Not sure what folks opinions are on my pricing is, though OP seems to imply I'm fairly priced which I intended. I put minimal time into researching each items resale admittedly. If someone wants something or wants to make an offer cool, if not I'll wait till someone does. We are looking to make a life change which would require me to find someplace to store my weapons and frankly I don't trust anyone with my ####. (says Francis) so I figure I'll sell and pick up again later if God permits.

    The bumping is ridiculous. I've tried to minimize mine but if someone believes I've been gratuitous, please adjust my reality.

    As far as the market, it is cyclical like everything in life.  Ride the wave...

  5. If my folks had known what I saw at 9yo. They had no idea how to use the computer and had no idea what was out there. From there onto Agent and news servers.

  6. I'm not worried about the "blood in the streets" stuff.  I am concerned about more businesses getting posted due to uneducated OCers' behavior.  In my experience, gunowners banding together and threatening to boycott businesses gets mixed results. 

     

    Would you rather the .gov tell you you can't do something or a private business tell you they don't want your business if you choose to do something?

  7. Ohshoot, I know you mean well, but I'd suggest taking gunlobbyist's advice from the knife thread:

     

     

    Guys I would like you to think about the "law of unintended consequences" when sending videos to legislators. It's one thing to send a comparison video to a knife friendly legislator, it is entirely another to send it to one who is not knife friendly. Sending a video of just how fast our flippers and assisted openers are could have the opposite effect we want. I have seen this in other states where our opponents take videos or photos designed to educate legislators to our side who then use that same video to call for bans on flippers and assisted openers. Please remember that many legislators do not think the way we do, or don't think at all! Please be very judicious and cautious when communicating with these guys. 

     

    In reality the best thing you can do is ask them to support the bills by bill number, as opposed to trying to make a case with a video that could actually cause us harm. 

     

    We are so grateful for your participation but please consider what I am saying before you send videos to legislators.

  8. Again with the Yankees. Lmao.

    I'll admit it. When I first tried grits I really thought someone was trying to feed me sand blasting material. Lol. But with some experimenting and a nice helping of preserves and butter I really came to enjoy them. I've never tried cheese grits but I guess I should because cheese makes everything taste better. I have to vote for cream of wheat though. That's what I grew up eating every winter morning as a kid and I've always liked them.

     

    What is wrong with you fellers? : )  Preserves are for biscuits

  9. You gotta let them cook awhile to have them soften up. Instant grits don't cut it for me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

     

    You know.  I never understood instant grits.  I mean.  Really?  Like a person can't spare the extra 3 minutes?
