    To match her mindset. I've read three sources this morning reporting that the good guys with guns stood around paralyzed with fear for 40 minutes while Ramos was murdering kids in a classroom. Worse, the barricaded door was actually just a locked door and instead of busting it open they waited for the key. Of course, all of our heroes here on SC would have led the charge, shot open the lock, and also have been first through the breach blasting away with their AR-15's and Glocks.

    It's not just appalling, it's demoralizing. Kids. 7-10 year old kids celebrating their school year accomplishments killed while huddling in terror. I ask everyone here what that is worth to you. What if giving up your AR-15's and Glocks and your only good for shooting trees guns for registration was enough to stop the massacre of school kids, would you do it?

    Jim, my business is as focused on fuel costs as any. Sometimes, times suck. Now, we do not want to lose any of our incredible people so we are willing to give up on our end of the deal to make that happen. We are convinced we'll come out of this stronger and make back the profits. If you don't see that in your situation, well, opportunities abound.

    I wish I wasn't lost to the point of despondency, but I am. I'm often in other countries, mostly actually, where Americas silly gun dramas aren't an issue, where people like porpoishead don't exist and life just continues on without concern or fear of not having enough guns. I love my country. I am a proud American on everything we do except this second amendment nonsense. But that may not be enough to keep me here.

    Will do. I was thinking today that maybe we accept that the gun nuts have won the battle over AR's, big magazines, etc... Instead let's focus only on taxes. Maybe $100 on every new gun sold. Maybe automatics more and single shots less. Something per round of ammo sold and a $25 buck per year per gun registration fee. All of that money to be used to put armed guards, metal detectors etc.. at every school in America. If that's not enough money, up the tariffs. I support that and would pay it gladly.

    Phil, I was apparently imprecise on the topic. To be clear, I am a strong advocate of gun ownership laws. I also am an advocate of home defense to where I've explained my choice of weapon and why on these pages. I think AR "platform" guns are useless for both hunting and self defense and should be controlled or banned. Same with high capacity magazines. Further, I think one of the dumbest things we have ever done in America, against stiff competition mind you, is outfitting our patrol police to look like special forces. I could go on but please do add me to the list of those who want gun ownership to be available but are ready to accept regulation.

    No worries. The administrators developed a perfect solution for just this sort of thing.

    You are fantasizing, plain and simple. Also, just to make things easier could you please collect your thoughts into a single post instead of several? And, as this is a public forum it would be nice to know to who or what you are directing comments.

    Good on you for knowing you self and the future so we’ll. I hope to end my days never knowing if I really could pull the trigger in time.

    The cowardice is owned by politicians who care more for NRA largesse than kids lives and gun owners who are paralyzed with fear over giving a single inch .
  11. JoeWeber
    100 Million more guns in America since Sandy Hook, I heard. Idiots like Abbot are again arguing that arming teachers and active school shooting drills are the solution. We are truly screwed.
  12. JoeWeber
    Well, just hang in there best you can.
  13. JoeWeber
    Yes, I am. In fact, as far as I can tell from experience, the only individual with an accurate looking avatar is BillVon.

    ???? How was I to know you were female?
  15. JoeWeber
    Nonsense. I was merely rejecting a specious analogy.

    He died happy doing what he loved?

    How? Only 90 miles of 1200 were built when Biden cancelled the project. If what I read is true, completion was years away. That would mean that 0 barrels would be delivered today.

    Go back into your bubble. Kids don't buy airplanes on their 18th birthday and crash them into schools to get famous.
  19. JoeWeber
    OK, please tell us just how much oil would be delivered daily today to US refineries if Keystone XL was not cancelled.

    Stop underestimating 3rd graders. You can buy her a JR-15 from WEE1 Tactical. https://wee1tactical.com/ For a little defense to compliment her new offensive capability you can pair it with a new bullet proof back to school backpack from Amendment II with their new Rynohide CNT insert. Check out their CEO firing a pistol into a child's colorful backpack to prove it works. Instead of being so negative, be grateful there are people who can control their gag reflex and are willing to spend sleepless, tormented nights to do the hard work of keeping children safe.

    I don't think so. I think we're looking at sending them to Poland and Slovakia so they can send their Russian S-300 systems.
  22. JoeWeber
    Who could understand doing such a thing? I think the mental illness trope is a crutch we use to steady ourselves not to explain away horrendous actions committed by others. We need to believe such things cannot be hiding away in ourselves; that we all might be ticking time bombs or capable of being somehow triggered into committing the unimaginable worst humans can do to each other.
  23. JoeWeber
    Yes. It's so easy to observe that it wasn't seen coming. It causes me to think that there is more behind everyone here on SC that I interact with than I can ever truly know. I need to think about that truth.
  24. JoeWeber
    I have been consistent on these pages that the slow boil strategy was right. I think he facts on the ground in Ukraine, from a purely strategic point of view, have validated that idea. Now, my opinion has changed. Now I think we need to up the game. We need to give our Eastern European NATO partners free rein to supply their soviet era weaponry to Ukraine with a promise that the US will supply replacements. That includes operating aircraft. Just believing the Russians are incompetent is nice. Realizing that if they close that gap will give them an opportunity to sue for peace is another. Now is the time to get serious.
  25. JoeWeber
    Absolutely. Keystone XL would have been completed long ago and already operating at the increased capacity level of 830,000,000,zillion bpd. Modern Dirigibles filled with natural gas for delivery to Europe would be departing on the hour from New Jersey. Once emptied they would be sent back for refill by a new underwater high speed rail system. All of which could have already been constructed with overwhelming bi-partisan support if he wasn't such a bozo.
