i see a bleak future for gun rights up here

[Anchorite]

If you want to look at a case study for gun confiscation, you really need not look any further than Australia.

And look how that turned out for them.

and NO DAMMIT, I DO NOT VOTE FOR POLITICIANS THAT FAVOR GUN CONTROL.....so DO NOT give me any sh!t about......

"YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR"

I am SO with you on this one! I am in Portland. I am completely surrounded by man bun wearing (fill in the blank), and FAT blue haired, hog ring through the nose, disgusting pig women.

Is was nowhere near this current community when I moved here and throughout the years my vote has had ZERO impact.

Some idiot keeps coming through the neighborhood hanging "NO ICE IN PDX" signs on all of the utility poles. Quite frankly, I leave the sign up on the pole that is in front of my shack out of fear one of these crackpots will see me tear it down and burn me out in the middle of the night. Can you believe this is our current environment? Me, a grown man, a 6'1" 245 pound man, a well armed man, is afraid to tear down a stupid sign out of fear I will be attacked by an army of skinny, man bun wearing (fill in the blank).

I was right along with you until that lasr sentence.

A camera tells you what happened AFTER it happened.

When seconds count, help is only fifteen minutes away, and you'll have a picture of it tomorrow.

The feds are installing facial recognition cameras every 1/2 block in Santa Clara, CA right now for the Superbowl.

No Cameras thank you. How about a bunch of people with short lengths of rope and tall trees.

You bring the rope and I'll bring the tree!

As the legendary Charlie Daniels said "Take these rascals out to the swamp, put em on their knees and tie em to a stump, let the rattlers, and the bugs, and alligators do the rest."

these are not the old days however.

Nope.

I have a couple concerns about the not-old days.

The people in the private sector have better access to camera networks than most public agencies and are not bound in how they use it.

And access to this technology is not only available and provided here, it is shared world-wide. We have no control of it. While it can be accessed in Beijing and Moscow, my guess is we don't have as much acccess to video from China or Russia.

our F'd up LT Gov, said at a rally "we will ban all guns in RI" many months ago.

she's as much a moron as a dumbocrap can be.

She should worry about how she fluffed signature numbers (or blamed a company she contracted) on her Senate run before she opens her mouth about anything else.

Obviously the additional laws RI has did absolutely nothing to deter this

 

[Jsimon78]

Let me bring up something I like to complain about and that is “Chicago”. Yes Chicago has the strictest gun laws out there but what is it really happening. I’m affected by it because I live in Illinois. Yes I can move but I have a decent union job that helps with my medical but if it wasn’t for that I’d be gone. The red tape is horrible compared to every state around me.

 

[Jsimon78]

they "got the guy of interest" in a motel in Coventry, RI, like 20-25 miles south of Providence, in the same town as the gun range i go to.

this "almost" tells me, he is NOT from RI, but maybe NY, or NJ....maybe even CT........

and if so, then this also tells me, that "many criminals" from out of state, come here and start some sh!t, then run back to mama's house.

we get thugs from up north, "the Boston area", that come down here, shoot up the malls, or crowd rush/rob the malls, and drive back up to the Boston area.

again, this is why i advocate for cameras EVERY WHERE

Lot of those areas you mentioned are really strict on the gun laws. I think Boston is stricter than Chicago. It also shows that criminals don’t care about the laws.

OR. Where the men wear dresses and the women are easily mistaken for livestock.

Yep, livestock. The only decent women in the PNW are either imports (like my lovely), or college students attending from out of state. The local stock is livestock.
