Re: California lawmakers pass unprecedented package of gun control bills
Frankly, I can't believe anyone is surprised by this. We so-called "normal" gun owners are similar to "moderate' Muslims. We can't believe anyone would associate us "normal" folks with the egregious behavior of those deviates that shoot people randomly. And similar to the &q...

Re: Nearly hit a deer on the motorcycle today
It's pretty exciting when you do. I hit a small yearling deer heading north on FM 1174 heading toward Bertram going well in excess of posted speed limits. Short version, I was fine, the bike stayed upright, no damage to the bike ('94 Honda Magna), deer split in half with a small strip of skin holdin...

Re: Governor Abbott Meets With Israeli Prime Minister
You are completely entitled to your own political viewpoint and your opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. The Texas / Israel economic engine is huge and benefits both the state of Texas and the country of Israel. You can read about it here: http://texasisrael.org/about/ Thank you. B...

Re: Governor Abbott Meets With Israeli Prime Minister
Why is he not running for presidency? Rest assured, he will be. With all the issues going on here in Texas, I think it would be more appropriate for him to spend a little more time governing our state, hence the term Governor. It's a absolute waste of taxpayers money. But hey, it gets him out of th...

Re: Editorial in Denton Newspaper
Thanks for the link/post. Personally, when I OC to me it's a matter of convenience. I suspect that vast majority of people who OC do so for that very reason. The OCT nuts unfortunately have really bad tactics that stigmatized the rest of those who just want to, on occasion OC, and be frankly left a...

I'm with you. Sell me some inexpensive ammo and they can give me a piggy-back ride to the car if they want to.

Re: 5 Gunfighting Myths Debunked By Massad Ayoob
Let's not forget Austin Police Sgt. Adam Johnson who shot an active shooter who was shooting up downtown Austin with an AK. He shot him through the heart with a one-handed shot from his S&W .40 from 104 yards away while holding the reins of two horses in the other hand. This was mentioned on sev...

Re: Obama acting on executive action
VM, I largely get the same response from some people when I mention "compromise". Compromise isn't promoting that we give something up and get nothing, it's promoting that we both give something up and both gain something. No one that I know of promoting reasonable discussion or compromis...

Re: Obama acting on executive action
Does anyone else think we're kind of expressing a cognitive dissonance? We have insisted for years that 'guns don't kill people, people do',(which I firmly believe) and yet when Obama, (sorry, Satan) suggests checking out the people, not the guns, we get our panties in a wad. Is there anything that...

Re: Obama acting on executive action
No offense taken, just frustrated in general. I really don't mean to take it out on anyone. You are correct that "reasonable" means "reasonable" on both sides. Unfortunately, the other side of these issues are not "reasonable" in the sense we both intend. What we have ...
