@BossBullethead I absolutely have no desire to own a gun, there’s a visceral power trip holding one gives you, it’s almost a corrupting power, like how The Ring on LOTRs does to you

We run steel action matches almost weekly at our range, regularly drawing active and retired military and LEOs. You’d be surprised (maybe) to see how often they’re outshot by regular joes who just like to shoot. An armed populace is more important than most think.

@realMWO @TheOmniLiberal “Nazi” and “Racist” have lost all meaning now. They literally mean nothing. FFS you’re a “racist” simply for being white… If that’s the case, then who fucking cares about being called racist? It’s apparently something you can’t fix.

Treat every gun as if it’s loaded. I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; “empty guns” kill people every year. “Sixguns” (1961)
