Good Morning. I'm just getting off work and yes I have to be back tonight for a 15hr. shift.
I don't watch the news much and Geraldo isn't news to me. He's just a yellow sensationalist, liberal, poor excuse for a journalist. If the the shooter at VT is labeled an AS and considering how the libs feel about the second amendment I'd be afraid.
I'm not giving up mine and intend on getting my concealed firearms permit soon. My situation as a business owner carrying large amounts of cash at times and the location of my market warrent it. It doesn't matter if he had AS or not, he was a punk with a murderous streak. When you think where mass killings happen they happen in places where guns are banned; schools and post offices.
I had a little trouble finding our den here in this forum. Glad to be among you.
I've gone beyond that "Lib", way beyond, not my point. I suspect we would clash big time on politics, but I don't really know that either. Being raisied in a politcal family, I don't care to go that road, except to yell at the news on tv, now. Didn't used to be that way, but I've calmed down, just a little. There is something else about that whole label him and VT and let's get rid of guns thing that concerns me. It's fear selling, agian. Ok, I'm aspie and proud. I was a soldier and not proud and guess what, they shoved an M-16 in my hand. I'm not the only one, we just don't know how many. I seemed not to kill everybody, some were forced to do that (them or me), I got lucky. We were just kids back then. If you listen to me here, it might sound like I might like to at times, but it's really just me venting. I won't give up my firearms now for a few other reasons, but here's the guts of it. The second amendment was added for a seriously good reason. This country hasn't really come close, but hold your ears you might not like this part
, we have just seen and still are seeing the public at large getting a heapin helpin of fear selling under the label "terrorist". The old man always told me when you hear the flag saluting, you better watch out, they're going to take something away from you. We are seeing an abuse of power, I thought this kind of thing was gone to the history books, duh, I never ever thought I would see what I am in this country. Never ever think it can't happen again, only worse. The really scary thing is we now have a proffesional army, not good, not good at all. They control it and I'll tell you about the officer mentality someday if you'd like. (any war is good fun to them, they make rank, it's a freakin power trip to them) The follow order thing is bad, you have got to have people in there that have the balls to say, no, when needed. No, I'll keep my right for armed revolution, they (forefathers) had just got done doing it and it hadn't left their minds. They didn't word it that way is all. Yeah those forefathers guys were really something. But if you look at the real father of that great writing, it was a lesser known "geek" that for the most part liked history and librarys an awful lot, practicaly lived in them. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile, might take them a little while, but they will. Now how the hell am I going to protect the neighbor kids that see the pretty little racoon out in the daylight with whipped cream all over his mouth? Call a cop? Take at least 20-30 minutes to get here and even then you'd be lucky. Screw em they'll never get my guns. Humans, what ya gonna do with em.
Geraldo isn't a liberal, he's an as*hole. That kind of person doesn't deserve the honor of being that label.
Glad to see you here too. Let's have some fun, political differences be damned
