SO Tired of this [expletive]

...'cause, you know, law abiding citizens have the right to shoot shoppers and students.

i like how gun control is in quotes

its unfortunate something as simple as that graphic and filled with a complete diarrhea rephrasing of the situation will influence a lot of dumb people.

Every time a measure is proposed to take guns out of the hands of criminals, like closing the gun show loophole, or creating a national gun registry that could be used by law enforcement to track the illegal movement of guns, the NRA and its surrogates fight it tooth and nail.

But people need to shoot other people. How else will someone know that is your parking spot if you don't have a gun to tell them? Or how else will someone be able to tell you, you are trespassing on your float trip if they can't shoot you? Guns are simple solutions to difficult everyday problems we face in America. Ladue is [expletive] dangerous. I mean you gotta be strapped to go there. They have gates on their communities. That's how you know you are in a rough neighborhood.

Pro gun people are being willfully ignorant on this.

A post from someone I had to unfollow on Facebook, who is actually a minor public figure here in QC:

Why do people shoot up schools, churches and malls? Because they know no one there is armed. There is a place for this if done responsibly, and it's not the responsible, legal gun owners that are causing the problems. Please don't spout off if I piss you off with this. You won't change my mind, so don't try.

My brother has a government job and his wife is a teacher. They realized they needed to be apolitical (at least publicly) due to their jobs, and Facebook was making that very difficult. So they deleted their accounts. I find I am using Facebook less and less because the people I used it to keep in touch with are also using it less and less, if at all.

My facebook account is for business only. I have zero friends on it, but I have to have it to keep my business page. Otherwise I have no use for facebook. Hell I've even banned people from my business page (which is about freaking cars) because of politics. I posted a pic of a superbird one time and someone posted "won't be long before Obama bans these too." Then three other people jumped on the stupid train. I banned them all. Hate to do that to readers but screw that noise.

The day I deleted my actual account was bitter sweet. I liked keep up with people from college who are now scattered across the world, but as you say. People I wanted to talk to used it less and less. It was to the point where everything posted was some hyper political nonsense and I just don't want to expose myself to that stuff any more. I worked in politics when I was younger. I saw these "good Christians" send death threats and bomb threats to our office because the Senator I worked for was pro choice or pro gun control. It just got all too familiar on Facebook when I'd see people threatening others because they disagreed.

As far as I'm concerned Facebook is trash.

A year or two ago the biggest reason I'd log onto Facebook was to catch up with my brothers and their families who live out of town. Now the biggest reason I log onto it is to manage the page of my side business and the page of a social club I belong to.
