@RossyPrime Okay, if she wants to set up a women's only, apartheid state, do it. Just realize that because of your extreme bigotry, the rest of the world will ostracize you.
Japan has for a very long time been a high trust society. That is because you have been ethnically homogenous. Ethnically homogenous societies are high trust.
The US has been ethnically diverse since its beginning. Studies show that ethnically diverse cultures tend to be low trust. We have had high trust periods for various reasons. But most of our history has been low trust. (And crime has been an issue in cities throughout our history.)
We deal with this through being heavily armed. 'An armed society is a polite society.'
Where there are many guns in non-felon civilian hands, crime is lower. ('More guns=less crime' Which has been proven to be true if the guns are in the hands of non-felon citizens.)
So, yes, we see it as a duty.
'The only deterrent to criminals is the armed citizen. The criminal is not deterred by cops or courts. The criminal only fears a citizen with gun in hand. It is therefore the duty of every citizen to be armed.'
Words to that effect by JD. Cooper
And to hunt. And to fight tyranny. (Looks like we're getting close but it often does.)
To keep and bear arms is our duty.
Howdy friends!
I've been seeing @TheRascallion moseying around the shop in a 25 gallon hat and I just knew this week would be a wheel gun. Rascal has, for this week's giveaway, a @Ruger_Firearms Vaquero 5.5" in the venerable .45colt chambering! I thought it would be fun to throw in a signed copy of @braxton_mccoy 's The Glass Factory for good measure as I know Mr. McCoy appreciates a good hat himself.
Out of his own pocket we also have Mr. A-10 himself, @DaleStarkA10 , offering up one of his highly desirable Heavy Duty Stitched Gun Belts! The winner will get sizing to Dale so you can have a piece of high quality leather that works for you!
Lastly, our good friends @SummRidge continue to help bear some of the cost of the giveaways (WHICH IS A HUGE HELP) so remember to give the the proper howdy and thanks to these fine folks!
To enter this one please be FOLLOWING us, @SummRidge , and @DaleStarkA10 (if you are not already for some reason 😉), REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
@BasedMikeLee I want the damn thing passed but the corruption there in DC will defeat it again. Republicans are faithless criminals and the Democrats are an evil cabal.
@GuntherEagleman@LeaderJohnThune Like most people in Washington he's interested only in the back room deals that secure power, position and wealth. I no longer believe that any elected politician, their staff, or any bureaucrat has the best interests of the country at heart.
@zapatas_mom I hate living in cities and really prefer to live in a rural community. Don't care if I drive to get groceries as long as I have the peace of living on my own land with no one on top of me. If I can have my own gun range on it as well, that would be nice.
