The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'd offer a deal.

First, I'd stop degrading bullying and talking down to gun owners, and those that value gun rights.

Give them a fraction of the courtesy that Liberals give to terrorists and violent criminals.

Then.....

*Really strong background checks.

*Banning of weapons that are needed for quick and mass murders.

In return.....

I'd get with the NRA, and even citizen volunteers - where in public schools there would be courses about firearms - history of them, how they were used to obtain independence, why to respect them, be safe with them, and how they are *not* the answer to simple conflicts, or problems in life.

And as a cherry on top: If we get the mass shootings down, you can rest easy and potential groundswells for gun-grabs - will go away.

BUT this would require Americans to put aside Tribal Colors - and also - do nuance.

Better chance of me being a good looking guy and trust me it's not a good situation. I'd have no kids if not for the ability to turn off the bedroom lights.
