It’s because they don’t let kids fight anymore. I was volunteering at the school a couple years ago and saw this kid punch another in the gut unprovoked, and they BOTH got suspended; zero tolerance they say. That is too stressful to be made afraid to stick up for yourself.
The USA remains the worlds leader in murder by firearm. Thankfully the NRA is helping us get more guns into public places so that we may protect ourselves. Now all I want is a Kevlar bodysuit to protect me from the protectors.
A few years back a party next door went south. Some guy was beaten up and kicked out. He and a girl were outside talking afterwards. He was going to go back in and talk things over. She told him he was not going back in there. Then she pulled a gun on him. That was her way of winning an argument. I have a gun now you have to do what I say; just like in the movies. .People need to learn how to safely handle a gun. Go out and shoot one. Think seriously about the use of deadly force. It would certainly provide a healthy does of reality to a great deal of “entertainment” they have been enjoying.
Mhic: I “liked” the “This side toward enemy”, but LOVED the “do not eat” on claymores. btw, ONE claymore can take out more than 30 people. I would hate to think of any “civilian” having access to them, but Wayne La Pierre would probably sell them on e-Bay if he could.
I DO support that “well regulated” in the Second Amendment, and that includes the PRIVILEGE extended to private ownership by those NOT in “well-regulated militia”.
Another key “element” even in nations like Afghanistan were EVERYONE has access to, or owned guns, for centuries, homicide rates are LOWER THAN IN THE U.S.!! It isn’t just the “access”, but the culture. Our’s IS the “shoot first, ask questions later” culture promoted by Col. Colt, and adopted by such as the NRA and their ridiculous “Armed Citizen” posts; most stories of people who shouldn’t be armed with a croquet mallet, let alone a firearm.
Ummm… no.How about adults dismissing a kids problems because they are kids. How about these gaduation tests that are more for promoting and administrators and polticians career than testing a students understanding.How about these graduation tests that tell a student “all that hard work you put in to get a 4.0 GPA means nothing if you fail this test.”How about the stress of going through puberty.
Nothing quite like looking for easy answer to complex problems that you never figured out while growing up.
so, domestic violence, pedophilic rape and assault by the father, household drug and/or alcohol abuse; all the markers of a “postal” act by a teenager aren’t the problem. his illegally having a gun and using it aren’t the problem. gun shows and toys are the problem. yer an idiot, stahler. yeeesh.

The law-abiding citizens weren’t allowed to have self-protection, so only the nuts and criminals have them.

I’m doing a rhetorical analysis on this cartoon for class. Can someone help me out by explaining this editorial a little better for me?

I prefer land mines although mowing the lawn has become much more challenging since I put them in…

Hey! ‘Dead Alive’ is in his collection, fantastic film! I wonder if he also has ‘bad taste’ and ‘meet the feebles’?
