it's raining today.  played fairly well yesterday tho.  couple OB duck hooks killed my score.  good thing we were playing skins.  oh and trump has been indicted.

 

So how many of these militia "field days" do you imagine occur nationally.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/citizen-militias-in-the-u-s-are-moving-toward-more-violent-extremism/

"No one really knows how many civilian militia groups exist because they repeatedly form, splinter into separate units and dissolve, as members’ interests wax and wane. Typical units have no more than 20 or so members who consistently attend events, but some have only two people, and others have more than 200. In addition to the heavy skew toward white males—at least 90 percent in most groups—most participants are in their late 20s or early 30s, although I have known of members as young as 18 and as old as 70. There are a few women who fully participate in militias, and because of their activity they tend to be well respected and rise to leadership roles. (Jessica Watkins, a leader of an Ohio militia who was arrested for her participation in the Capitol riot, is one example.) Still, most militia units have a culture suffused with casual misogyny"

 

any of this sound familiar?

"Across this spectrum, however, militia groups share certain similarities. Their members are almost exclusively white men, and they espouse values of nationalism as well as yearnings to restore “better times” from this country’s past. I and other sociologists refer to them as nostalgic groups. Their values are often entwined with racist and sexist attitudes, in part because they deny or disregard the hostility directed at minority groups and women during that idealized history. A metaphor I like to use to explain the connection across these groups is that it is like having multiple trees on the same small plot of land. They are separate entities, but their roots grow in the same soil. Their branches intermingle when the wind blows just right, occasionally getting close enough so that you cannot tell where one tree stops and another begins."

When you suggest something won’t save lives it is.

 
See if you were smarter you would know there is a manifesto that already describes those things I mentioned, it was written by Karl Marx.

It will though, you just don't care. 

 

You like these weapons because they make you feel intimidating?

No thanks. We need to ban those guns though

 

The time is coming. The rising Democratic majority will do this sooner or later

I have the power of the people behind me. These guns will be banned. You will lose and then you will move on to something else that is stupid to defend.

Non-sequester. Saying other things are bad, too, doesn't mean a solution to this is wrong

 

Your numbers do not count the untold number traumatized by these weapons. They are a public health problem. Look at all the schools closed this week from fear of these murderous weapons. 

 

Can't wait to throw a party when these things are banned

I think before introducing new laws we should try to enforce the laws we have. Most of these situations could've been avoided if we didn't ignore the numerous red flags most of these types of people present well ahead of shooting some place up. But yeah more gun laws.

I have some friends that are Correctional Officers. it's an open secret prisoners can get anything in prison they can get in the streets. its also an open secret that the guards turn ignore the Cell phones as it keeps the inmates occupied.  guessing people like that just make any kind of comment to get human interaction or make the day move.

So, it's not the number of people killed... it's also people being "traumatized" by AR-15's?

Okay... I didn't know schools closed this week because they are "scared of the AR-15". You sure schools (whatever schools you're talking about, no idea) aren't scared of a someone with any gun? Just the AR-15. Right?

Automobile is high. its like ones child has more odds of being hurt or killed on the ride to or home from school than by a rifle.

 

But I can still buy a car that goes twice the speed limit, and these new eclectics have massive torque.  crazy.

 

And Deer on the list?  WTF  kind of deer are in them woods.

The difficulty of this actually serves their purpose. 
 

Leftists despise local law enforcement, especially sheriffs, as they represent the only remaining wielders of sanctioned violence that are completely outside of the purview of the regime. Sheriffs in many states have already defied federal agencies and even state legislatures in the gun grabbing efforts. You can imagine that many sheriffs would ignore any confiscation order not only for the safety of their deputies but also on principle. 
 

Ever notice how the calls to “defund” or “abolish” the police never seem to extend to, say, the FBI? If the left got their way there would be forcible confiscation of guns by a massive federal law enforcement agency that would engage with gun owners much the same way the FBI and ATF engaged with David Koresh and Randy Weaver. Leftists would squeal with glee as formerly law abiding people who ignored an order shouted by megaphone got their houses lit up. And all this is fine because so long as the law enforcement agency is beholden only to the regime, they can murder and entrap with impunity as they receive top cover from the White House, judiciary, and fourth estate. 


Just an amazing take on reality.

Show me any example where a school closed because of "fear of the AR-15". 

 

I've asked COUNTLESS kids the question, "Do you ever worry someone might come into the school and shoot?" 

 

I've NEVER got a yes. Ever. Now my youngest said she was worried about a guy, who ended up getting kicked out of school, about 4 years ago at her HS. But no kid has ever told me they are scared of a school shooter. Would be like asking us if we were worried the Russians and nukes after we did a nuclear bomb drill. Or if we are scared of a tornado. 

 

(WAY more likely to die in a tornado hitting our school than someone coming in and shooting it up)

100% accurate. These are total deaths (all ages) by something other than things like "falling" (which claims the lives of 32,000 Americans per year).

So were you "practicing" in a school in 2018?  Do you think these numbers have gotten better or worse since then?  Perhaps you live in an area where fear and anxiety in children are totally absent?

 

The Pew study also found large disparities between respondents when accounting for race, family income and the party affiliation of parents. The report is based on interviews with 743 teens and more than 1,000 parents over the past month.

For example, the fear of school shootings is particularly pronounced for students of color. Nearly three-quarters of Hispanic students say they are at least somewhat worried about a shooting, compared to about half of white students saying the same.

Which is? I interact with HUNDREDS of kids a day at a high school. I've asked TONS of kids that question... especially after something like what happened in Nashville. Those questions are mainly focused around how we can make our school safer. What's interesting, only teachers/staff feel "unsafe" at times. Again, never a student in regards to a school shooter possibly happening. They simply don't worry. Maybe it our culture in Oklahoma? We aren't afraid of tornadoes either, despite the fact we are in the middle of Tornado Alley.

I'll fit that in with two jobs (I see my patients between 3:30 and 7 p.m. after I finish at the high school), driving 40 mins to and from work and spending time with my fiancée. 

 

It's actually not a bad idea if I want to work on my Ph.D. someday.

maybe if you were good at the first job (or really had it), you wouldn't need a second job

 

Also if you do write it up, you should enlist the help of a statistician to calculate the odds of not finding a condition in hundreds of subjects that have an overall prevalence of that condition of over 50%.  It's got to be astronomical!!  Remarkable.  or absolute BS

The following is a partial list of when an AR-15-style weapon was used in a mass shooting:

Feb. 14, 2018: Shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida leaves 17 people dead.

Oct. 1, 2017: The Las Vegas slaughter of 58 people.

Nov. 5, 2017: The Sutherland Springs, Texas, church shooting that claimed 26 lives.

June 12, 2016: The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 dead.

Dec. 2, 2015: The San Bernardino, Calif., shooting that killed 14 people.

Dec. 14, 2012: The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that took 27 lives.

Funny, I don't care what you believe 👍

It was ar-15's. the weapon of choice in mass shooting. 

 

Damn, can't wait to see this thing banned again 

 

 

 

For his 2016 book “Rampage Nation,” Klarevas collected data on every gun massacre — which he defines as six or more people shot and killed — for the 50 years before 2016. His aim was to see whether there was any change in the number of gun massacres while the 10-year federal ban on assault weapons was in place.

He calls the results “staggering.” Compared with the 10-year period before the ban, the number of gun massacres during the ban period fell by 37 percent, and the number of people dying from gun massacres fell by 43 percent. But after the ban lapsed in 2004, the numbers shot up again — an astonishing 183 percent increase in massacres and a 239 percent increase in massacre deaths.
