Happy New Year...

...looking forward to battles on 2A and taxes.  That's OK - just ignore the real problem of government spending.

Yea, it's going to be ugly.

Health wise, I think I may push my workouts and keep trying to change my diet habits - ever so hard when you have Christmas eve at the house, with all the yummy leftovers.

Who knows - perhaps Texas will call for me.

Thoughts a few days later...

Evil people, insane people, will always exist. You can not legislate that... EVER. If you think so, you are one of them.

What we need are people that are not afraid.

Not afraid to defend, not afraid to offend, not afraid to act.

More sheepdogs, fewer shepherds.  When it takes the police 20 minutes to respond AFTER someone starts killing, someone is just negligent   

The old joke is that I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy truly applies here.

What ifs:

• The principal had a gun: Only the Mom would have died.  They are insane, but they are still afraid of other people... especially the ones with guns.
• We had no guns in the USA:  Nutburger would have used a machete, ampho explosives, or even a sharp stick to maim, mutilate, or kill.
• A responsible parent, security person, or staff member was designated as armed security: see above.
• Nutburger, being identified as dangerous, put into an institution (like pre 1970 America): nothing, just treatment.
• Nutburger saw the "gun free zone" sign and turned around:  Ya, right.

Putting bans on guns (due to aesthetics , magical devices to safe or track the gun, or preventing the sale of ammo does nothing to secure our most vulnerable in society.

Gotta go to lunch...

Just sent my Congress Critter this...

"Boehner offers to take debt limit off the table"
Get this man out of there.
He is in trap and he doesn't know how to get out.
Pass a budget, cut spending the way you want to do, then adjourn for Christmas.
Let POTUS squirm while on vacation.
But primarily, GET BOEHNER OUT!

These "Republican" idiots are really pissing me off.  They agreed to this idiotic "fiscal cliff" and yet they didn't have a clue that it is what Barry really wanted in the first place... Where is his incentive to negotiate???

Seriously - yank the whole bunch of them and start new.

John Moses Browning, etc...

Thank God for John Moses Browning, Samuel Colt, and William B. Ruger, for with out them my family would be defenseless.

Sheepdog - never a sheep.

That is all.
