calimary's JournalYep. That must be it.

If we do or change nothing else, we need to fix THAT one.
"Sleeping sentries". DAYUM.
We need Democrats who are wide awake and on guard, ALL THE TIME!
You may NOT kick back, think youve fixed it or youve done as much as you can, and relax or roll over and go back to sleep cuz you won or something.
The bad guys never do that. They never give up. They never kick back. They never rest on their laurels and breathe easy cuz they won or something. Theyre ALWAYS on the alert. Theyre ALWAYS suited up for battle. Theyre ALWAYS looking for weakness (or laziness or worst of all, complacency) in the opposition.
And since thats what they do, thats what we HAVE TO do.
If it were up to me, I'd just get rid of ALL the guns. Period.
And I know, I know, the precious 2nd amendment and all that.
And Ive offered a compromise, on the assumption that I had any power or authority on the subject (which in reality I dont). Heres the deal: I let you have all the guns, in all the sizes and styles, and all the ammo. Now, in exchange, can I get my two friends back?
They were kind, empathetic, smart, peace-loving, mature and well-educated, with terrific senses of humor and wisdom, and everything youd want and hope for in a friend. They were both friends with the local cops, and one of them even worked with law enforcement to help understand the criminal mind thanks to her studied specialty.
But one day, they got into an argument. There happened to be a gun in the house (for protection, of course). The argument escalated and one of them grabbed the gun and blew the other one away, and then turned the gun on herself and blew herself away.
Truth. That was years ago. I still miss them both. And I have heard all the arguments for guns and freedom and self-protection and privacy and choice. Heard em all. But not one of them changed or changes anything for me. I STILL want my two friends back, even while knowing that will never be possible, ever.
Because there was a gun within easy reach of those who knew and fully understood better - at the worst possible time.
LOL!!!
GOOD one!
Btw, I love this:
Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. LeaDeRSHIP.
Good question!
Not being a legal expert, Id like to know, from people here who are.
I see what you did there.
With you on that, ShazzieB!
I hope hes SOUNDLY defeated. Beyond ANY doubt or debate. Go back to the gridiron, dude. Or become a football coach or something.
From your keyboard to God's screen!
