We had plenty of weapons 50 years ago when I was a kid. People just did not behave this way in such large numbers then.

Exactly.

Another thing I would like to know is where this kid got the scratch for about 10 grand in firearms and ammo. Those rifles he bought were top of the line models and ammo ain't cheap these days, even in Texas. How does an 18 year old from a dirt poor family come up with that kind of green?

Onkel Neal · 06-06-22, 06:17 PM

Yeah, exactly. How did he get that kind of money?

I guess he passed the background check, so that did nothing. Appears a lot of these crazies passed the background checks and purchased their weapons legally, yet I keep hearing we need "universal background checks". What gives?

I think the true purpose of a ubc is to create a firearms registry. One would think so as to make it easier to come after them when they decide to outlaw them completely.

One of the reasons I suggest raising the purchase age to 21 is that it's my understanding juvenile criminal records are sealed and I don't think show up on background checks no matter how comprehensive they are.

But a persons juvenile criminal records would still be sealed whether the applicant is 18 or 21 so I don't see your point.

True, a juvenile criminal history would remain sealed regardless of age. But in my world

Since they are sealed I figure a background check at 21 ought to reveal something of whats been going on over the last three years in that persons life. Especially if they haven't changed their ways.

Do the people of this planet really need a Politician ?

It looks like the used car salesman figured out how to get off the lot.Go for the local vote, Go for the county vote, Go for the state vote and get to Washington here in America.I'm sure you can see the relation in your own country. Do we really need a Politician? Or would you rather have the business owners the people you buy your groceries and the products that your own country produces in charge?
And another thing when was the last time in your memory your country and it's leaders that you elected are showing the amount of your GNP. And a break down of where that money has been spent and how much has your country for your collective efforts received. And how will you as a citizen ever know if you could live better?

I will say this every single person in your tribe must contribute.It's not what your country can do for you. But what can you do for the country that you want to call home. And if you drop those standards, well you get war and misery. And this is why we have war and misery today.It's called Politician they and their families of course will never have to do without. Will they?

Neal 50 yrs ago. In high school, Here in central florida we brought our 30.30 lever action hunting rifles to school they were in those racks in the back windows of our truck's.Or laying in the back floorboards of our car's.We were out at 2:30 pm and on our way.To our hunting stands or blinds. And i can tell you in 1974 when i was 16 yrs old nobody thought about shooting any of our fellow students or teachers for any reason. We were 6 years past the Indochina war and a lot of us lost fathers and uncle's, brothers and cousins.

I think it's a unique dynamic that people behave this way today. I will tell you this. I want my family and those that believe in a future for our and their families we must take whatever measures it takes. The best Political minds that have been elected have brought the world to this point. And they have brought nothing but War and misery.

The world's Politicians have shown us they haven't a clue.They they could not run a Donut shop on their own and not have it go out of business.
