Good morning Dave . Starting right in I see . I also live next to two states as you describe : New York and New Jersey . I try to avoid going there . The problem is they keep coming here . :confusion: Go west young man , go west . By the way , how come national carry is going nowhere fast ? They gave it good lip service , probably will never see the light of day .
Be careful when you CCW

I don't know, DR. If it ever gets to the point that I forget I'm carrying a gun, I'll probably stop carrying one. For me, that would be right up there with forgetting to take my driver's license when I go to drive my car.
So you got a few good years left ? We'll have to take away your bullets .

42 years worth in September, mukwah. :thumbsup:
Wow , that is a lot of anger , Dave . So you are saying all Virginia's problems started with this Governor ? Easy solution , vote him out . As far as releasing people serving long sentences for non violent crimes due to mandatory sentencing , that was a bipartisan cause popular with both Rep. and Dem . before the last election . Save the room for violent criminals . We incarcerate more people per capita than any other country on earth . Anything I read at Breitbart I would take would a grain of salt . Sorry , but our problems in the cities run deep and I don't pretend to know how to solve them but the family unit , education , and jobs need to be invested in . That should be a bipartisan cause . We need to get down to brass tacks and quit fighting over BS the media wants us to fight over to cover for our politician's ineptitude . Both parties are playing us like a fiddle while Rome burns .
Pennsy, what is wrong with the drinking water up in PA state? Man you need to come on down this summer and have a taste of reality. I will see and if can get some free tickets for a week in lovely Norfolk, or Portsmouth. You the MRS. and the grand kids can roam Atlantic Avenue in the evening. You will be right at home. Your comments down here would be qualified as Urban Democrat. Don't like Breitbart news? Lol, Most of the thugs down here don't either.
Even the local Rag Virginian Pilot has now been taken over by the Blue Urban Dems. There goes history. I love how they preach their stuff, and I loved it more when the same group of Pilot Dems reporters Broke down in their car near Bramelton Ave. near the Martin Luther King Memorial. It was actually a pleasure to read how they got the snot beat out of them. What poetic Justice. First time in my life I actually gave the gangstas points. Heck, if I had known, I would have loved to have joined them. I will check out the price of the run down Holiday Inn near there and you can spend some time on enjoying some of our Rich History. You need to be in a three way kiss with MAC and Hill, below.

I'm afraid it's like that in a lot of places Dave. Where I live there's 2-3 shootings EVERY night. Yesterday there were 2 home invasions within 8 hours. Firearm protection is more important here than ever before. It's just reality. It's a shame that I have to know that my 16 year old grandson knows how to handle a firearm just in case.

Again , I would put the Daily Caller in the fake news category . Highly partisan . If you continue to get all your news from sources that reinforce your beliefs , you are only getting one view . Have to keep a open mind . This is where Congress has gone . It has paralyzed them into a non functioning entity . Until we can get past stigmatizing people who we disagree with , nothing gets done . Don't misinterpret me as sticking up for thugs . Thugs are thugs , and that won't change . I'm trying to talk rationally about what can be done to make a change . That doesn't make me a bleeding heart liberal . Look at that wack job yesterday . He was radicalized by the internet and the talking heads . Bad for America and bad for a functioning democracy .
Yes mukwah it is a shame. And so much reality is hidden. Even so many of the school systems here are out of control. Parents do not want there kids left in some of them. Bullying, etc. My brother teaches high school, my sister is substitute. I have a friend that is retired and started driving a school bus. Through my past decades as a Security Consultant I am in touch with many in the industry even though I am retired. Here is a fact. There is rarely a day that the Bus Transportation administration does not get a call from a driver to have the Police respond immediately. Every day! I am on a confidentially agreement, but can tell you right now, if the public saw what happens on a school bus they would be astonished! This is not the way most of us grew up. We never saw this, never experienced this. Never would any parent want their child exposed to this.
I visit many school systems. I just talked to A Security guard of a Middle School, that told me recently that he does not know if they can even contain the chaos that is building up toward the end of the year in the lunch room.
You now have children that are beyond belligerent. I have seen so many video tapes etc. I have talked to the students. Beyond rebellion. Taught to go against rules and laws. Bus drivers threatened by Parents. A constant nightmare for the drivers. Retention rate is low. Many just cannot handle it. You can see the schools effected by just following a map. You can see the progression to the next one and so on. It is a cancer spreading all the time. And then they become adults.
That is getting to the source right there . Parents nowadays are not raising the kids . Then the teachers get blamed for not transforming the little darlings into adults . Society started going down hill when middle class America started disappearing . Kids as young as 2 going into day care so both parents can support a household . No one instilling their values to the children . Over 50% divorce rate . No home life . A decent meal . Security in a stable home like we grew up in .

Yep. Sure seems as if the American experiment has run its course. I wouldn't be at all surprised if my generation turns out to be the last one to enjoy its benefits. Meanwhile, between now and the time I bite the dust, I'm going to do the best I can to protect what's mine and party like it's 1999. :icon_ banana:
Yes , after WW 2 , we were living high on the hog . Suburbia grew . Interstate highways opening up America . Good jobs with pensions . Hell , we walked on the moon . Optimism galore . Then the playing field went flat and big business talked our gutless politicians into selling us out . Globalization is now the way of the world . Society pays the price . We need another Teddy Roosevelt to break up big business . It is not self regulating .
It is a shame . It doesn't have to be that way . All the disinformation out there is staring to take it's toll .

Disinformation is a symptom of the disease our species suffers from, pennsy, not the illness. The illness is human greed and avarice. Disinformation is simply a way for those who wish to perpetrate it on others to try to sanitize it. These days "disinformation" goes by the euphemism of "alternative facts".
