More U.S. adults carrying loaded handguns daily, study finds

SGT James Murphy - Lol, my wife read it, and she laughed too.

SGT James Murphy did you get a new toaster! Lol

SPC Jon O. - Yup!

I highly don't recommend rural America for anyone after being born and raised there. They aren't always welcoming to certain people and many people don't find "safety or sanity" in rural areas.

Maybe it's YOU?

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I find safety in small towns with traditional values, like treat others as you want to be treated, and what happens in my home is none of your business as long as no one is injured.
The problem with liberals, dare I say it, like yourself, is that you have a need, no a burning desire to force others and force the government to enforce your way of thinking.
As a total Libertarian, I would tell you that as long as what you do does not adversely affect my family, then marry a head of cabbage for all I care, but give those that disagree with you the same freedom.
You may be all about the new found freedom of the LGBTQEIEIOH community. I still think it is an abomination before the Lord God, but I am polite, agree that they have the right to live as they please under the 14th Amendment, to marry whom the choose also under the 14th, and to live as they please so long as they do not try to recruit or influence kids to their way of thinking. If the kid is gay so be it, but no adult should try to influence that, and teachers running around in gay pride gear does just that.
As far a police brutality and that goes, if you want to avoid interactions with the police, obey the law...simple. Don't drive with a revoked tag or license, don't carry illegal firearms and don't buy, use, sell or carry drugs. If you do these things you will get arrested. If you resist arrest you will get your ass kicked and I don't know how many cops it will take to kick that ass, but I sure as hell know how many they are going to use.

This is NOT hate speech. My disagreement with you does not constitute hate, it constitutes a disagreement with your standards and beliefs. I am truly sorry that you were the victim of domestic violence. I hope the perpetrator was dealt with severely because there is never an excuse, aside from self defense to raise your hand to your domestic partner. I can say that my former spouse was unfaithful to me several times and I just left and let my lawyer deal with it when by rights that "Crime of passion" card could have been played. I am now married to the most awesome woman on Earth and have been for nearly 25 years. I wish you the happiness that I feel you seriously lack by reading your posts.

SSG Roger Ayscue - I lived in rural Nebraska my entire life and that town I grew up in was a bastion of racism, bigotry, homophobia and just literally outcasting anyone who was "different." If you weren't "from" there, as in family roots going back to the founding, you were trash. My family moved there when I was 2 - that's the only home I know - and we were treated as if we were scum solely because we didn't have "the name" OR we weren't small town rich.
Yeah they did try to hurt people - they'd go shoot at Mexicans who moved into apartments there. There was an couple - black man and white woman and her daughter. They ended up leaving town and the woman wrote a letter to the paper stating they left town because people harassed her husband for being black, harassed her daughter about her stepdad and just vile, racial things. Also one time the town doctor was Arab. I can't remember where from but it was him, wife, child and MIL. The wife and MIL wore head scarves. People harassed them when they were out in town over it. Again racist, vile things so he moved out of town. He still practiced at the clinic, but he couldn't stay in that town.
Oh you're a libertarian...go figure. I'm not a liberal but to each his or her own.

Oh look at your bigotry mocking LBTQIA. Dude you're no better than MAGAGAs. I know libertarians think they are but you're not. No one fucking cares what Christians think about homosexuality. If there is a god - it made LGBTQIA people. It doesn't care if those people exist or they wouldn't exist. No one is forcing you to be LGBTQIA so I don't understand why people want to restrict them or are out there murdering them (ex: Colorado Springs).

I know you sit in your white cis hetero male privilege but not everyone lives in your world. PLENTY of POC have been unarmed and cooperated when pulled over and still got hurt or killed. There are POC who were killed IN THEIR HOMES minding their own business. So just fucking stop with the bullshit. Actually a lot of white people do those things you mentioned and don't get in trouble for them even when they get caught.
If a cop is violating MY RIGHTS I will 100% defend myself and if they want to assault me or anyone else for doing it, I'm going to make sure they are held accountable. The fact you support police brutality is sickening. I bet you're ok with cops who arrest children who misbehave at school - as young as 5 who get arrested just because a teacher isn't trained to handle them or if they have behavioral disorders. I bet you are ok with the guy who called the cops on his 9 year old black neighbor for spraying trees to get rid of a type of bug that was killing the trees - and he called her a woman on the phone knowing she's 9 years old.
There's so much more you need educated on but what's the point? You're settled into your bigotry and hate.
Yes a lot of what you said is hate speech. Have a day. Don't bother to respond.

SSG Roger Ayscue - Gotta brag about our home schooled grandsons who went thru all that and at the age of 10 with their father and mother were winning Paint Ball Gun Equipment for free because they were so good the range attendance went up every time they signed up for an event! They are at 16 and 18 years of age. Both in Civil Air Patrol The Youngest is a Training Officer and his brother is completing US Army Combat Eng. School. Our Daughter is Outstanding as well as our Son-In-Law.

SGT James Murphy I embrace the idea of young people doing so well, many even better than I was, with firearms. The world needs more.

SSG Roger Ayscue That's really terrific. Those people involved in the other types of death will be the first ones to condemn firearms when they are used in a crime.

CPL Douglas Chrysler - My Grandsons are crack shots. Their Dad is pretty good to but I can drive nails. The secret is to know how to relax.
