School Shootings, Mass Murder, Workplace Violence and Guns

My Eggclectic Interests II
Gun Free School Zone

Originally Published: May, 2012
I went to school at a different time, the late 1950s and 1960s. It was a rural area, and most people in the area had guns.

The last thing I, or any of my classmates would have dreamed of, however, would have been to shoot or seriously injure someone. Like everyone else I watched Elmer Fudd point a shotgun at Buggs Bunny’s face and pull the trigger. All that happened to Buggs was a soot-covered face. We knew, however, that you don’t point a real shotgun at a person.

Back Then, We Knew the Difference Between Fantasy and Reality

Killing a human being just wasn’t a concept in my mind, or in the minds of my fellow students. A respect for life was something we knew instinctively in our souls.

What Could Have Changed?

These are Not Your Father’s Video Games

Bloody Pong

What causes a person to shoot up a school; or any place for that matter?

My parent’s generation was wrong about a lot of things. Playing in the fresh dew didn’t give you Polio, your eyes wouldn’t stick that way and much to the disappointment of teenage boys, Rock and Roll didn’t turn teenage girls into sluts. Yet, in spite of a youthful pledge not to turn into them, I now find myself mumbling…

“What’s the matter with kids today?”

META is one of the next steps!

When Guns are Finally Banned

Defense Free Crime Zone

Originally Published June 2014
After you have disarmed all of the law abiding citizens, how do you plan to even the playing field by disarming the gangs, criminals and would-be tyrants who won’t obey any law?

As with drug and alcohol prohibition, a huge black market for illegal firearms spawns a new, more sophisticated network of organized crime.

The illegal gun market explodes. Gun smuggling and black-market gun sales are now big business.

Basement machine shops are set up to make black-market guns. The majority are poorly manufactured and many are unsafe in any hands. Substandard ammunition is also manufactured in basements and garages to feed the black-market needs. Accidental gun deaths rise.

The BATF has the same success in its ‘War on Guns’ as the DEA has with the drug war — none.

No Govt. Mandated Chip Implants Needed

My Eggclectic Interests II
Foil Hat

While the idea may seem repugnant to some and just crazy paranoid to others, there are a lot of tech-crazy trail-blazers who think that an ear-bud is too cumbersome, or that if it says ‘Apple’ on it, they have to have it. . These people will be enough to push-start the market to its eventual conclusion.

These devices won’t come from the NSA or any other three-letter-agency, but from companies like Verizon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon.

Pharmacy employees at Best-Buy and Wal-Mart will be trained to perform the (by then) simple procedure.

The “bleeding edge” people will “pre-order” their implants and then stand in line overnight, in the rain to be the first to get them.

Who Us Is, and Why We Are In Danger!

My Eggclectic Interests II
Coexist

It’s time for Bible Thumpers to put the Hellfire and Brimstone on the back burner for a while. It’s time for every-day bigots to “fake” color blindness and for gay people to stop acting like a bunch of attention starved, spoiled children. And can we please ratchet down the abortion chatter for a while? In Islam, husbands do their own abortions, with long curved blades, in the street.

I want our civilization to survive long enough to have that and other arguments, so I’ll put it aside if you will, at least until we get this fixed.

More is at stake here than the right to peacefully hate one another, our very existence is in jeopardy. Maybe we can afford the luxury of bigotry and hate sometime in the future, but right now we are all, and by all, I mean every one of us who is not them, in a fight for our lives.

A bloated, corrupt, runaway government allows, and even facilitates the process, and our first and only priority should be getting our nation back into the hands of We The People. Can we please get along with one another just long enough to get our country under control?

Only then, can we be afforded the luxury of squabbling over comparatively irrelevant differences from choice of sleeping partner to skin color and political party.

If we don’t act soon, “those of us who are not them,” will vanish forever from the face of the Earth.

It’s Not Islamophobia, It’s A Very Real Fear

It was arguably the darkest, most shameful action taken by the U.S. Government in the 20th Century. I’m referring to the paranoid forced relocation of Japanese-Americans to prison camps during World War II. Before the war, very few … Continue reading →

National Firearm Carry Permit Recognition — A Slippery Slope?

There is talk about some legislation in the works that would require all states to recognize other state’s concealed firearms permits and licenses. At first blush, one would think that persons holding concealed firearms permits, the NRA, USCCA … Continue reading →
