The idea of "the only way they will take my gun is from my cold, dead hands" seems to be slowly

abating.

The meaningless deaths of peoples loved ones seems to be reaching a tipping point.

So many children.

So many minorities.

Gays, Jews, African Americans...

Mothers, fathers aunts and uncles at malls, restaurants, clubs...

Just walking down the fucking street.

The kids you here about dying in their beds after being struck by an errant bullet.


Maybe even someone you know.



For quite a while we were afraid to state the obvious. Something must be done.

Unless you live in a place where animals pose a threat, the indigenous peoples want their lands back

or you believe there's going to be a Zombie apocalypse next week... YOU DON'T NEED A GUN!

"Oh! Oh! What about all the evil doers who already have one!?"

You take those guns away from them.

"How you gonna do that? Go door to door and confiscate them?"

Yep.

"Yeah? What if China or Russia invades?"

Red Dawn was fiction.




It is time to revisit the second amendment.

I can't support Pharma any more. $1,000.00? No fucking way, I'd rather die.

Just got a call from Walmart Pharmacy saying that I had a $980.00 order of meds waiting to be picked up.

It's been 500-600 in the recent past for my heart meds but this is a bridge to far.

Fuck them I'm too damned old to piss around with them.

I have already cut the prescription dosage in half to save money but now it is nuts.


I used to think this was a great country.


I would rather eat and pay rent.

I don't like neo-nazis

but I don't want to kill them.

I don't care for a lot of different beliefs, actions, political party or groups,

But I don't want to kill them. Hell, I don't want to do any physical harm to anyone.


What kind of sick fuck decides to get a gun and destroy those who don't ascribe to his own beliefs?


Or is it I am just behind the times and unarmed?

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun...

Is a LGBTQ person without one.

A nice surprise.

Slumberland at Netflix. Jason Momoa plays against character in what I thought was going to be familytime drivel but kept me comfortably watching for two hours. It explores some deep topics throughout a fairly light story.

Add to that it was a nice escape from the news.
