Yahoos with guns make us all safer.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

No, the lesson to be learned here is that protection orders only piss people off. He violated it, she had him arrested & now they are both dead. See how well it works?
The gun didn’t help matters at all. But it was a long gun & all you have to do is pass the basic background check that doesn’t include mental stability because that’s too invasive, getting into a person’s privacy. So if you aren’t a convicted felon, you can legally buy a shotgun or a rifle. Different story if a person is going to carry a pistol, like a frootloop I know. And if you don’t care about laws, go to a local corner in certain parts of any town. You can get most anything, except maybe a Howitzer. I’m sure those have to be special ordered.

So he was a multi-tasking yahoo.
I got nothing against guns. Got several. Know how to use them.
But seems to me the cohort most wild-eyed about the 2nd amendment seems to be heavily-populated with persons I would trust least with weaponry.

When I was threatened by a couple of gang bangers coming out of a Game Stop, not 1/8th of a mile from the Lakewood PD building, it was brought up to me that I should carry a pistol. I’ll admit it, I was rude. I laughed in the faces of the morons telling me this. The fact that I’m vertically challenged & not trained in any fighting techniques didn’t change my mind.
I know how to use a shotgun. Even a pump, that I don’t like. I like the over & under. For skeet shooting. I could point & shoot a pistol but I have no desire to. If a person likes guns, KNOWS HOW & WHEN TO USE THEM, & is stable mentally, I don’t see a problem. But I really believe the SCOTUS & the 2nd amendment decision went too far. Too many nutballs now have access that shouldn’t.
