Random Politics & Religion #32

Well kindergarten but only nerf guns there.

I got in trouble in first grade for standing a few feet away from a friend and exchanging imaginary Mortal Kombat projectiles on the playground.

Some people be uptight, yo.

I got in trouble in first grade for trying to tell the teacher about negative numbers....

Yours was cooler.

There was no indication that he called for backup.

He just stood there quivering is his highly polished shoes.

WHILE HEARING GUNSHOTS.

So he had a gun but was scared to use it why have a gun then ?

To be fair, a school resource officer does not sign up to stop a school shooter.

They sign up to get out of patrol duty, to flash the badge, and to handcuff 12 year olds.

So much for the good guy with a gun theory.

They should have let me at him I would have shot that sum *** for free.

You assume women don't use guns you sexist sum *** !

Well his job is to protect people. Maybe he should have done something. Instead of looking like a cowardly ***.

Maybe he saw too many cop shows. Being close to retirement is a guarantee that someone is going to kill you.

The only problem I've had like that was that time I've talked about where my crazy cousin went on a rampage and kind-of shot at me. I had my 1911, but wasn't scared enough to use it. More accurately, I didn't feel using it would be justified. Which is kinda nuts.

I don't get scared much. Basically what happened was he took a Xanax the night before opening morning of deer season. Woke up late and got mad that no one woke him up. Stomped out, as dad and I were having coffee, we heard s gun shot in camp. "Go make sure he's ok." So, I walk out and "BOOM" he's walking down the trail shooting in various directions, shouting "Here, deer!"

He does this for like 20 minutes. In that time, this commotion jumps up a deer which another guy shoots and I have to pass crazy to go help retrieve. So, I get down there, and crazy shows up, shouting, bitching, etc. Muzzle-sweeps me and this other guy and pulls the trigger. Bullet kicks up leaves about 3-4 feet to my right. Two other hunters come up the hill, rifles in hand (one being my brother), and after screaming psycho babble at my brother, he turns and heads back up the trail, shooting in all directions again and shouting. I call back to camp to tell Dad to take cover. Luckily he runs out of ammo and returns to his truck on the verge of tears.

Later on, he complains that he "spent a lot of money coming up here" to which I tell him that he just blew through a box and a half of ammo which isn't cheap.

He isn't allowed to hunt with us anymore. We don't even talk to him.

I am looking for the actual case to research but it was Mark (Klepeski or something like that vs supreme court.) it was just on news that proves why these gun laws are terrible.

Case story: A man loses his wife and daughter in a car accident caused by a drunk driver 10 years ago in California. He is grieving and having a hard time so his doctor prescribes antidepressants. He was only on them for 6 months and he came to terms with his loss and got off the meds. Fast forward to 10 years later. He is remarried and applies for a gun permit. He is denied because he has a past history of mental illness. He appeals decision in California and is denied again.

Now it just so happens that this gentleman is a lawyer and took this all the way to the supreme court and won. This case was last year so it should not be to hard for me to find when I get home.

How many people did this law hit that did not have the money to appeal or challenge this butchering of the basic rights?

I brought this up on my Congressman's website as he had a pro gun post and liberals in my area were flaming him. Their response was if it kept the gun out of one crazy persons hand then it was worth the injustice. I say that's like comparing the fact that 10 people are arrested and only 1 is guilty but you got that 1 guilty person so *** the other 9.

I deal with bouts of depression but don't see a professional about it for this reason.

Depression can go hand in hand with suicide but depression and suicide are not the same thing nor does it mean I'm going to kill anyone else.

A lot of shootings ARE caused mental illness but there really isn't an umbrella solution with the way things are.

Personally, I think depression can be more of a neurological disorder than a mental illness, isn't it caused by chemical imbalances in the brain?

Yes it can be. I think its a serotonin based thing.

But it can also be caused by a metric shitton of bad things in your life.

There may have been 4 not do good guys with guns who were too chickenshit to go into that school in Parkland....

TLDR: His department missed many red flags, 4 of his officers cowered outside the school, but is has no bearing on his job performance.

Holy ***Fone, I nearly sprayed mountain dew out my nose.

This crisis actors got their scripted memorized pretty quick:

#neveragain


Six weeks later another school shooting.

Time to ban schools !
