    Hi Ken, I think you have hit the nail on the head. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, That is your opinion. I'm OK with that. Also, I thought you said that you were leaving. Now, I'm not asking you to leave; just wondering why you are still here. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi airdvr, From the very bottom of my heart: THANK YOU Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, As if there was any doubt on where they stand: Senate Republicans shut down gun safety debate, block hate crimes legislation in wake of Uvalde, Buffalo mass shootings - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, This is what the gun folks cannot & will not accept. I am complete agreement with you. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi DF, Re: The purpose of the 2nd amendment is to protect ourselves from our government. You cannot legally or illegally obtain enough weaponry to successfully take on a SWAT vehicle & it's occupants. We live in a different world than 1776. IMO you have to be fantasizing if you truly think you can out-gun the gov't. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, In Reagan's case, I think it was the truth. IMO he was definitely suffering from early on-set dementia; especially during his 2nd term. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, This should be fun: Former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath Trump loses an appeal and must testify in New York's civil investigation : NPR Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Sky, For a short period in my life, I was a local firefighter. I can assure you that once again the GOP has come up with a very stupid solution. They are getting real good at it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi airdvr, Inflation always hurts the poor the most. Gas price increases are nothing like food price increases. However, when you look at all the people here and their costs for basic essentials, they are better off than a lot of people around the world. If you are really concerned about the poor, then you would support a re-distribution of wealth in the country. Something that I support. I live alone in a 2,000 sq ft house. I do not need it. I increased the size to make money when it is sold. IMO people here should quit complaining about the prices of gas, it is cheaper than almost any other place in the world. We've always had cheap gas here. People simply want that to never change. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, So, tell me about the last time you had to defend yourself in this country. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, I cannot and will not speak for Joe Weber. The petition effort I listed in my post to him has a 10-round limitation. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, That fails to address my argument. Almost always a cheaper car to own & operate is an option. Motor scooter, anyone? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, I heard that you are back here in Oregon at this time. Here is your opportunity to support this. Lift Every Voice Oregon - Reduce Gun Violence My two petitions went in the mail the other day. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, Re: I for one am open to the discussion. Re: it’s foolish to try and tell me if I should or should not be armed Sorry, but I don't buy it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, Actually, I think it is proper form for YOU to post those stats that you want to discuss. Do not ask me to do your work for you. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, Possibly your reading skills need improvement. I posted: only LEO's & the military. I would also add Border Patrol, etc; however, I do consider them LEO's. Re: so nobody else should carry to defend themselves or somebody else? When I consider the carnage that continues to take place in this country, I would support this. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, For me, only LEO's & the military. I would also add Border Patrol, etc; however, I do consider them LEO's. I've travelled in Asia, So. America, Europe & a bunch of No. America. Plus, 44 of the US states. I have never had the need to carry a gun/rifle/etc. I do not consider that I live with evil all around me. Will someone come into my house tonite & kill me? Less probability than someone coming to my granddaughter's school and blazing away. In my entire lifetime, I have only known of one person who ever fired a gun inside of a house. He shot himself in his leg. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi airdvr, No one forced them to buy a car that they cannot afford to put gas into. Maybe they should have thought of that prior to purchase, no? I'll cry no tears for them. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alex, I'm thinking that you did not know him as much as you thought. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Doug, And, let us not forget that they are being replaced. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, You have to wonder just how someone like this can get any form of security clearance: Hale-Cusanelli lived and worked at Naval Weapons Station Earle, where he had "secret" level security clearance and access to military munitions.
