Ohhhh Finchi, you're getting me started! Especially irritating is the way Americans (of all 'colors' ) look at this. This could (as usual) get lengthly.. When people ask about my heritige I usually anwer mostly Irish with some Czech and French. Nobody bats an eye. If, however my French ...

I don't understand why ammosexuals are so afraid of gun control.

ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 8, 2018:

We are taking it all back in November, we don’t need them to like it... they have gone to far and awakend a sleeping giant. They were insidious until they got in power, then the power went to their heads and we are going to crush them!

MikeFlora replies on Apr 11, 2018:

Not to bust your balloon, just voting out Republicans doesn't mean we're in the clear, ammosexuals are going to keep trying to own Congress. There is no guarantee they could come at it from a different angle. We have to start with the election process, make it so that candidates don't need ridiculous sums of money to get elected.

I don't understand why ammosexuals are so afraid of gun control.

ArtemisDivine comments on Apr 11, 2018:

I'm not afraid of gun control. I'm glad we have background checks and safety classes. I have done both to get my CCW and my firearm. What I am concerned about is people who think they should be allowed to bully others because they don't like something. I'm concerned with people who want to change ...

MikeFlora replies on Apr 11, 2018:

I didn't say anything about dicks. I know and you know that that whole thing about protecting your family is bullshit, you are more likely to win the lottery than have somebody break into you house while you are there. Just say it "you like guns" instead of coming up with excuses to have one. With a few exceptions the only legitimate reason to own a gun in this country is target shooting and putting food on the table. How about my right to not get blown away at the; mall, movie theatre, school, church, work, concerts or just minding my own business. Your toys are not more important than my life, or kids being scared to go to school. None of these are more important than your bullshit excuses.

Assault Rifle Slaughter of Denali Wolves By Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility ...

MikeFlora comments on Apr 8, 2018:

I had a wolf for a pet and they are nothing at all like they are portrayed to be.

MikeFlora replies on Apr 8, 2018:

@BettyColeman Yeah that's what I thought until I had one. Dumbest dog I have ever seen, but not in a bad way, just goofy as shit. She went to smell a candle and put it out with her nose, got her head stuck in a doritios bag and wiped out half my living room before I could stop laughing enough to catch her. I took her to the vet the day after I got her and she weighed 8lb.s took her back 30 days later and she weighed 38 lb.s. Loved everybody wouldn't hurt a fly, absolutely hated to be alone. Couldn't drive her around the block in a car without her puking in it. Ate the cover off the armrest in my parents car, left one tiny string on the seatbelt, tasted the sun visor front seat, back seat and after she was done decided to recline on the roof of the car and in the process scratched the trunk getting on and the hood getting off all toll she did $1400 dollars in damage. The best part was explaining to the insurance man that my wolf ate my parents car.

"If Jews had guns there wouldn't have been a holocaust" you're now victim blaming.

sassygirl3869 comments on Apr 8, 2018:

Thank you. The resisistance had a few guns but the non-Jews let it happen. Don't tell me they didn't see the Jews - their neighbors being dragged away and most did nothing, absolutely nothing.

MikeFlora replies on Apr 8, 2018:

The most important didn't do anything is England and France. After the end of WW1 they were supposed to make sure Germany didn't build a big Army and they didn't do shit.

I am sending you 2 posts.

Lancer comments on Apr 7, 2018:

I don't think you'd be saying the same thing if you were surrounded by a pack of wolves trying to kill you for food. All life forms kill other life forms. That's the way the world works.

MikeFlora replies on Apr 8, 2018:

Not like that they don't. Wolves won't attack people unless there is nothing else around which doesn't happen very often. They scare easy a few pot shots in there direction will keep them away easily enough. Yellowstone found that no wolf population does worse things to the environment than wolves do.

AMEND NOW!

Lancer comments on Apr 7, 2018:

I'm sure the Jews from WW2 Germany would agree... or the Chinese under Mao... or the Russians under Stalin... oh wait. They're dead because their governments killed them. If only their constitution had allowed them guns to defend themselves and their families. Let's be fair, even if they had ...

MikeFlora replies on Apr 8, 2018:

Protect their families from what? There are over 300 million people in this country. The odds of someone breaking into your house while you are there are way worse than winning the lottery. All of your arguments are bullshit as I have told you before. What are you people so scared of that you have to keep up with the same bullshit excuses. The only legitimate reason anybody can have for having guns is for target shooting and putting food on the table. The odds of having to protect yourself or your family are worse than winning the lottery, which means saying that is bullshit.

AMEND NOW!

AntaresRose comments on Apr 6, 2018:

Interesting info. It's such a shame.

MikeFlora replies on Apr 8, 2018:

I haven't got to this part of the story yet, but I'll tell you. The biggest tragedy of Titanic(at least to me). the life boats on Titanic would hold 1176 people and since the ocean was like glass you could have put a few more in. The Carpathia picked up 703 people the reason is long and you'll have to read about it with everybody else. There should have been over 1200 people in those lifeboats, several hundred people died that shouldn't have.

I started a group called the" Truth about Titanic" to relieve a little stress.

I agree. I love history. I will watch documentaries, read history, took college courses. The first thing as such a man as Hitler does is to erode at the people's minds in a subtle way. Then Hitler gains control of the media. From there, only propaganda Hitler wants seen is shown or written. Sound ...

MikeFlora replies on Apr 6, 2018:

Hitler had help and apathy. After the end of WW 1 the treaty of Versailles reparations were unobtainable, and Germany was in a serious depression. Hitler promised to bring Germany to greater days ahead. England and France were supposed to keep watch and not let Germany build a big army, they didn't, so Hitler blamed the depression on the jews and built a huge army and everybody knows the rest of the story.

MikeFlora replies on Mar 27, 2018:

@JackPedigo What I'm saying is a total gun ban is not a good idea, because there are people, however small, that have a legitimate reason to own guns. There is still a lot of wilderness left in this country where I wouldn't go without a gun, a bigass gun. There is a mountain lion living under the Hollywood sign in LA, been there about 2 yrs now. There is a town in Canada that is in the middle of a migratory path of polar bears, so they have to deal with polar bears walking through the middle of town twice a year. We also have a bunch of people living off the grid that have to hunt in order to put food on the table, and bears out of their house. A total gun ban isn't the right thing to do, and Remington should not go out of business.

MikeFlora replies on Mar 23, 2018:

@Lancer Why are you so determined to keep access to weapons that civilians should never had access too, to begin with, nobody needs a AR-15 or a AK-47 there are plenty of other guns out there you can use for protection. It's not like 15 people are going to break into your house at the same time. The ban in 1994 didn't lead to other guns being banned. The people in my group want me to find some middle ground to make a deal with, but I can't do that when your way is the only way. I noticed you are a member of my group so you know what I'm talking about. Why are you so scared that if you give in just the tiniest bit that all guns will go away.

MikeFlora replies on Mar 22, 2018:

First, 2nd amendment advocates are wrong in their definition of what it actually says. Any 3rd grade teacher can tell you that. The way we are taught English in school says, all the 2nd amendment says is if you are in a militia you can have a gun. How can we interpret what a 250yr old document says other than by the book. Neither one of us can say they meant it this way or that way, we weren't there. We have to go by the book, by the way we were taught in school. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE HAVING A GUN FOR HOME PROTECTION, OR TARGET SHOOTING, OR HUNTING, OR ANYTHING ELSE, I JUST DON'T WANT THEM DOING IT WITH RAPID FIRE, HIGH VELOCITY WEAPONS THAT HAVE A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE. THAT'S ALL I'M AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP COMING AT ME ABOUT CRIME AND SELF PROTECTION!!!!!!! ALL I WANT TO DO IS REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MASS MURDERS DONE WITH WEAPONS OF MASS MURDER. The other stuff is in the studies I post, it's not in what I write about, and I'll deal with the best way to do that after this is done. Mass shootings kill the most people so that's the first place to start.

MikeFlora replies on Mar 22, 2018:

Ammosexuals is a joke. For the record, I don't like being called a " bleeding heart liberal". There is no common ground, so far not one has agreed to give up a single bullet. I dropped everything else but assault weapons, and they still won't give a inch. Mass shooting after mass shooting and very little has changed. If regular mass murder doesn't sway them even a little, just what kind of common ground can there be when it's their way or nothing?

Gun bans won't save as many lives as you may think. Sure it might eliminate school shootings. For the umpteenth time that's what I am trying to do. Mass shootings is what I am after, banning guns that should have never been on the street to begin with, and also one of mass shooters favorite weapons. After that I'm not interested in banning anything else. Properly stored I have 0 problem with guns for home protection.
