Gun Sanity?

Gun Sanity…………..Now there is an oxymoron if there ever was one!  There are not any real logical opinions just emotional ramblings of paranoia……..

There has been a raging debate on the 2nd amendment for decades now……my views on guns is well documented….but for those that feel they have better things to do than read my opinions………. I will give you the short synopsis…….

I own guns….I have no problem with people owning guns….I have a problem with assault weapons for personal use…if you need a 30 round clip to protect your home and family I suggest a shotgun more coverage and damage….if you like shooting them then join the Army I am sure they will let you do all the shooting you like……..’stand your ground laws’…….stupid…….killing is killing…laws made for people that are not capable of standing up for themselves they need an equalizer….carry laws…..another huge piece of crap…..just away for some to extend their inadequacy in the penis area…….the NRA…a money generating entity that serves NO one but the gun industry………gun confiscation…..why worry about something that will NEVER happen it is like worrying the sun will not rise every morning……a worthless waste to time and energy……NO need to try explain why I am wrong because like you I Am NOT!  But of all the STUPID laws concerning guns…this one is at the top of the list……

Shootouts could get a lot quieter in Iowa if a new bill ever becomes law. House lawmakers voted 83-16 last week to legalize the purchase of silencers for guns, but the state Senate is unlikely to consider it, the Examiner and Globe-Gazette report. In debating the measure, Republican Rep. Matt Windschit said it would “expand the freedom and liberty Iowans deserve” and protect them from the “danger of instant and irreparable hearing damage.” But Democrats said it would provide “intimacy” for a mass murderer and make schools, theaters, and malls less safe. Broad bipartisan support carried the bill, with urban Democrats logging the 16 “no” votes—even representatives in Cedar Rapids, where gun-range noise remains an issue. But the Democrat-controlled Senate sounds uninterested: “It is my plan not to take up any firearms legislation this year,” said Senator Rob Hogg, a Democrat. “I see nothing urgent about this.” If the law ever does pass, Iowa will join 39 states that let private citizens use a silencer, 29 of them only for hunting. Other states are “diligently” organizing similar bills, says the Examiner; Georgia’s Senate last week approved a bill allowing hunters to use silencers, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

What possessed an individual to wake up one morning and say….”I think silencers on privately owned guns is a good idea?”

This is the most MORONIC piece of bullsh*t legislation I have ever seen…….please someone out there explain the logic and yes, the sanity, behind this type of stupidity.  Beyond that….did you see that 39 states, yes that is a three and a nine states,  allow this already…..why?

Survivalists Take Heed!

Believe it or not…………..the old professor can write on other stuff than hi normal days writing would imply…….so today I will leave Ukraine and Russia in the rear view mirror and see how many people I can piss off today……

I recall back in the 70’s and 80’s when the survivalist movement was getting all revved up…..I had mixed emotions…..on the one hand I could see their paranoia and on the other I kinda thought they were a bit extreme in the whack-a-doodle sense of the word……..I can see their need to be prepared and to think outside of the box….but the whole black helicopters is a bit……how shall I say this politely…..nonsense.

I will admit that I do have an ample supply of dry beans and rice on hand….but mine is because of those bitches called hurricanes.  I have a knowledge of edible plants around my area and always have a week supply of water on hand….and of course the ever present battery supply…..enough stuff that me and mine can live off the grid if necessary…

Speaking of off the grid………

A Florida woman is in a legal fight with the city of Cape Coral for the right to live without municipal water or electricity—off the grid, as she puts it to WBBH-TV. The city just played a trump card, though: It capped the sewer at the house of 50-something Robin Speronis, so now she’ll have to figure out a way to dispose of her waste by other means, reports the News-Press. She vows to do so, and she similarly vows to fight a judge’s order to hook up to the city water supply. “I know how to live off the grid completely and in a sanitary way,” says Speronis, who began living without most city utilities more than a year ago thanks to solar panels and treated rainwater. The city slapped her with a slew of ordinance violations after Fox 4 did a story about her lifestyle, and the case made it to court last week. A judge gave Speronis 30 days to reconnect to city water, noting that she’d been using the sewer system without paying for it. After the hearing, the city capped her sewer, a move she calls “pure evil.” But a spokesperson says the city had no choice: Speronis hasn’t been paying for the service and made clear she had no intention of doing so.

This brings up a whole array of questions….at least for me……Is it mandatory that we have to use city services?  If so, is that not a violation of some sort?  I see the sewer issue as a legal thingy, but if she had had her own waste elimination system would she still be ordered to reconnect?

Survivalist need to watch this outcome….it could crap all over their living off the grid scenario…….thoughts?
