I tend to have multiple guns in my bedroom, usually there’s the one I wore on my hip today, and the one I left on my bedside table last night. I also have my gun safe in my bedroom, it’s a good place to keep the one I’m not using at the moment. A gun is a simple machine, sitting on a table it can do no harm, just like a sheathed sword. If I moved somewhere that gun owning was extremely uncommon, I would feel uncomfortable. If I were prevented from carrying a gun myself, I would feel naked. If no one around me had a gun, I would wonder about their reasons and be uncomfortable with their social norms. I would wonder about their ability to protect themselves from dangerous people, or dangerous animals, like bear or mountain lion. I would be worried about their inability to back me up if I ran into such a creature. I also grew up in Alaska and live in the Colorado mountains. Dangerous animal encounters are not impossible in my daily life, heck, even the herbivores like elk or moose here can cause significant injury to an adult human.
I would also insist, that I am not afraid, I’m just prepared for eventualities.
@MITACLLC@HarborFreight It’s not hard. I built a roll cage for a jeep with a barn find 70’s AC only stick welder. I need to buy the harbor freight one for thin stuff though
I will go the rest of my life without worrying about another election
It doesn’t matter who wins
Neither side actually gets anything done to make our lives better
I’m going to focus even more on my kids & their accomplishments, the gym & making money
Let me know who wins the next one & when they actually do something productive
The rest of this is just noise
@RicciGeri That’s actually a great way to look at it. Most Americans see Scientology as a cult, regardless of its legal status. Islam is a dangerous cult, like Heavens Gate. It must be condemned and controlled.
Explaining it won’t work. The contingent who want to believe that things will go back to normal, is unable and unwilling to change that opinion, they are too invested in “normal” to let it go. Those who are willing to fight the Bolshevism already see it. We have to hold the line until things collapse and get violent before anyone who’s invested in the current system will be willing to look around and throw in on our side. The goal at the moment, is to still be around, able to resist, and available to join up with when “normal” is proven to be an impossible status to return to.
