The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Criminals and crazy people are the leading cause.

Also, without an ability to defend ones self and family, there would be millions of successful crimes completed that presently are not successful due to defensive gun use.


The site was reconnoitered by security experts. Not sure of the numbers, but the site was protected by armed police, armed Secret Service personal, and armed expert military snipers (which I assume were positioned in elevated positions). And I bet dollars to donuts there were other active security personnel that we are unaware of. They were all focused on the safety of one person.

And yet a 20 year old white male carrying a long rifle was able to get on an open roof a couple of hundred feet from the stage and kill one person, seriously injure two other people, and come within an inch or two of seriously injuring or killing a presidential candidate.

I agree that criminals and crazy people are responsible.

It’s time we voted them out of office.
