Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not sure if its the overly emotional reactions to the recent shootings, or the blind stupidity of legislators and pundits who think that the world will suddenly change if US civilians are effectively disarmed - but either way, I need a place to hide from the news until it's time to stand up and be counted.

Tyrel Cody Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 good luck with that, it's on every tv, internet forum, radio, etc... I've even got a couple of "friends" sending text updates and panicking; had to tell them both to cease and desist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Japan, Uruguay, and Venezuela have all issued travel advisories to their citizens about traveling to the USA: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Foreign-Governments-Issue-US-Travel-Advisories-in-the-Wake-of-Mass-Shootings-524630851.html Forget the fact that their citizens are 100x more likely to get killed in a car wreck while they're here than by some crazed Rambo.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I never watch television news, of whatever channel or network. Haven't for years, except in extremely rare cases. It is designed to agitate. I read newspapers. I get the same news, but with much less emotional content. Digestion thus flows smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading Canadian "News"papers. We used to call the so-called "news" reports Editorials. And left wing editorials at that. Our progressive Prime Minister has just allocated 195 Million to news papers here in Canada, in addition to the annual 1.1 Billion given to the Canadian Broadcasting System. Just prior to our October national election. Just a coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move along - Move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Let me guess...It’s all about the guns...not about human actions.... A couple of years ago I quit watching the news and reading newspapers. I quit looking at Yahoo and MSN news feeds on line and I managed my Google feeds (until I just got sick of battling their leftist stupidity). I had also quit smoking. I no longer take blood pressure meds. I am pretty sure stopping my daily dose of bull $&@# had as much to do with lowering my BP as quitting smoking.

Pat Riot Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I just read some of the news Loophole was talking about. Stupidity and Ignorance reign supreme in this country. It is no longer the "Land of the Free". It is the land of the manipulated. Even Bill Clinton is getting in on the act calling for a renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban. If this isn't agenda driven I do not know what is. Not one thing I read mentions mental health reforms or the tracking and control of mentally unstable people. These Motherhumpers want regulation? How about regulating some mental health and tracking those that need psych drugs to function? That might be a good start. Yeah, I'm a little PO'd...
