NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
I Return to the Place I was Born
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

This guy is fantastic! Finally – a sane argument for dealing with the realities of these terrible events.
That is Colion Noir, he’s excellent. He’s a lawyer, gun rights activist and he’s with the NRA.
I endorse everything he said; but then, I’m also in the NRA and a gun rights activist, so that makes sense!
What has more metal, a tablet or a glock?
MORE gov’t employees with guns, eh?
Why does anyone send their kids to gov’t run shooting galleries?
Been following Colion for about three years. Found him off a link at Hickok45. This is his most brilliant statement by far. He’s hated by all the right people.
I am thinking @ how the govt failed so miserably at Parkland that it makes our argument for us. The FBI, which is the highest echelon law enforcement in the nation, and the sheriff’s dept., who are the most local authority, failed utterly. The school already was under a total gun ban, I am sorry to say.
My point is that the best echelon for defense is a personal one. The kids themselves are probably 99% incapable of that level of responsibility (perhaps in the Fifties, there may’ve been 10% capable of this in Florida, and perhaps 15-25% so capable in Wyoming and North Dakota), and so that leaves the closest level of responsibility with the administration and the teachers.
There are military veterans on the staffs of every school in America. We are such fools for resisting the plain answer to school defense, and it is because of the liberal mindset that brooks nothing short of total disarmament of the population as the only answer. While they’re at it, the libs may as well go out and sweep up all of the stars in the universe; such is their level of OCD. These are the people who walk down the street in NYC, and pick up every piece of garbage they run into. It’s their job, you see.
If you think I’m joking, consider their approach to global weather. They know exactly what will happen, and they have all the answers for the weather. BTW, how is your thinking today on the races? What are your thoughts on women? Homosexuals? The Left is particularly interested in what you think today.
Oh. I forgot. We need to defend our kids in school…

Jordan Peterson makes Casey’s point eloquently, and understands profoundly the personality damage that causes leftists to project their inadequacies onto everybody else. Absolutely not to be missed.
This is an excellent rational look at the current frenzy to bring more insanity into our lives.
BUT, let me tell you my take on liberal thought. Since the liberal’s currently being mentioned solution to the abundance of noxious addictive drugs is to de-criminalize them, I am waiting for Pelosi or Maxi Pad to make a crazy eyed statement about how we need to de-criminalize murders in school and how that will stop them!
You need people with guns at the point of attack. Metal detector, yeah. That will create a line at the metal detector. The killer will kill the kids standing in line. Because you are 100% correct, these guys are thinking and planning and adapting and kids are always late to school, lines will form, target of opportunity.
We all need to be a hard target. Don’t get me wrong because I think youre right. But metal detectors are not the answer. The only answer is us taking the responsibility to protect ourselves and those we are responsible for at the point of attack. Guvment has demonstrated in the Parkland shooting that it is not up to the task. We are.
“We are.”

No, “we” are not. Obviously.
Please note that the (witch) governor of Oregon has signed a new law where Oregon can now confiscate your firearm if it is “dangerous.” That’s right; no due process (FISA-like) and you’re effed of your 2A rights if someone, even a cop, gets an overnight kangaroo judgement based on the simple fact that your firearm goes pow.
I was discussing this with my smart wife and she made the observation that the application of this will be to go after the marginals. That means, people outside of the I-5 and Portland corridor; ranchers, hayseeds, conservatives. The state will pick off members of the herd that straggle.
There are 2 sets of laws. The ones for liberals, and the ones for Americans. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
