Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 13, 2022

Happy hour for the trigger happy

The NRA is heavily funded by Russia ( Think about that )

Between 5 and 7 is an hour?

No guns allowed, congratulations, you’re officially a target. Mass shooters are basically cowards who don’t want any one shooting back.

Even in the golden years (very few in fact) when men were men and the old west was wild, most places that served alcohol required you to check your gun as you came in. Alcohol is a disinhibitor. Appropriate use of weapons depends on some intact inhibitions.

Love the name of the pub

There are places where no guns are allowed unless you are dealer selling guns.

This gave me a good laugh…It reminded me of the scene in Dr.Strangelove where George C Scott’s character was shuffling with a Russian diplomat and Peter Sellars’ “Presidet” says : “Gentleman, there will be no fighting here… This is the War Room…”

Ye Olde Inertia….I’ve got nothing to do and all day to do it

What irony?

I guess the bar learned from their last promotion: “Hard Liquor and Handguns Night.”

Gun control? It ain’t never gonna happen. Read this and weep. “Trigger Warning:” it’s quite depressing, but a must-read.

Salon: “There will be no gun control: For many white Americans, the idea of the gun is all they have left” https://www.salon.com/2022/06/07/there-will-be-no-control-for-many-americans-the-idea-of-the-is-all-they-have-left/

Who will be triggered most?

Not many people seem to have common sense anyway.

Zero$0.99 uses more BS sources than most.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-daily-wire/

Even ones from the People’s Republic of China! The Turd Reich is using Chinese media sources now?

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/global-times-china/

But the Turd Reich will use any BS they can to try to make you believe their nonsense. It’s more of Goebbels detailed instructions on how to use propaganda that has been helping fascists for almost 100 years. The Big Lie is all they’ve got. And they’re dumb enough to think we won’t fact check and media bias check the crappola they post all the time. What pogues.

Pols are all hat and no cattle when it comes to meaningful legislation, whether for gun control, equal rights, immigration, or any of the problems facing this country. But they love to put on a good show, which is what’s happening now concerning to the Jan 6 debacle. Only thing missing is popcorn and clowns . . . oops. Make that just popcorn.

ABSOLUTElY fantastic. Wiley got “thorn” correct. He didn’t use “Y”

Gun safety, not control. The NRA and GOP want reasonable people to use gun “control”. The true term is “gun safety”.

Yep, before gun control, we lived safe and happy, after gun control we live in fear. . .

You can’t carry your gun into the gun show.

If guns make people safer, why aren’t they allowed at Trump “rallies”?

Never bet on common sense. for being called “common” it seems exceptionally rare.

I hear they’re looking to make a minimum age to buy guns. 21 seems to be the magic number. All I ask is that they bump the draft age to the same. No conscripting men and women who aren’t old enough to buy guns or beer.

Robbery, theft, murder are all illegal. All can carry stiff penalty. The tools of the crime are only that, tools. The real problem is a lack of respect of life and no government can fix that.

The great liberal leader Joyless Bahar said on “The View”(where all liberals get there facts),"Gun Laws Will Change Once “Black People Get Guns”…shows how much she see’s the news.

NRA Convention: No “Good guys with a gun” allowed.

Why is it the more lax the gun laws get the more mass shooting we have?

If they outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns.

Gun are already banned in most bars, so no irony there. Is almost ALL of them, it’s certainly illegal to carrh inside if you are having an (alcoholic) drink.So the common sense is already ther also.

Those signs could be in front of the local gun shop

It’s true, mostly. “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” Guns, modern ones especially that were unimaginable to the Framers of the Constitution, just make it a whole heck of a lot easier for people to kill people. Lots and lots and lots of people. More guns = more safer, right?

Most fights in bars are knife fights anyway

and just like the 18th Amendment succeeded, so too will the repeal of the 2nd Amendment and all of those other pesky Bill of Rights…especially the one about privacy that passed in 1973…oh wait, never mind…

If guns were the problem, ther would be millions of mass shootings. Why isn’t there?

I bet they have a drive by window.

The way I’m understanding this, according to the Republican Party, the nra and folks on this thread the best way to be safe in this great country when we leave our house every day, we should dress in full tactical gear with a military “style” rifle slung over our shoulder and a pistol on each hip dart into the store grab a gallon of milk and run to the car and hope like hell you didn’t accidentally step on someone’s foot! Is this a society that would survive. I saw a shirt last night that said “Canada same freedoms as America without the violence”. Embarrassing!

The NRA does not allow guns in their conventions. Why?

There is some truth to the saying a good man with a gun will stop a bad man with one. Only problem in Uvalde is there were no good men. Just scared ones.

The NRA wants guns everywhere except their conventions. I suppose that the thought of a few thousand armed people eager to show that they are “good guys with guns” is unsettling even to LaPierre.

We executed the Rosenbergs for treason even though they DIDN’T lead an armed insurrection against the US Capitol building.

Sounds like we’ve got a good legal precedent for t hose who DID.

An armed society is a polite society. What a sick mindset this is… be polite for fear of getting shot. Yeah, that’s a rational and sane gun stance…

Only idiots think a ‘gun-free’ zone is gun free. We have gun-free zones so police can arrest anyone with a gun without waiting for him/her to start shooting people.

Some promising news yesterday out of the big house with the round roof in DC. It appears that some bipartisan support is behind a compromise plan to do something sensible about gun violence. Of course, so far it’s only “an agreement in principle”, and the devil’s always in the details (which are yet to be worked out), but this is by far the brightest glimmer of hope we’ve had in decades.

I really think that, if protesters found out who in Congress is voting against reasonable gun control and painted this on their signs, it might be useful: “[NAME of CONGRESSPERSON] How much do we have to pay you to get you to vote for gun safety?” I don’t know if it would have any effect but it would be interesting.

Says in big letters across my carry permit, “May Not Carry While Drinking Alcohol”. The main reason I have not had a drink in 25 years. We follow rules.

I understand the Senate is working on a bill containing red flag laws. I find this disturbing because it opens a Pandora’s box of abuse. If this becomes federal law, you will liberals all over the country reporting their neighbors, not because of a threat of any kind , but just as a method to disarm the neighbor. And the crap about making an evaluation and decision within two weeks is a joke. When has the justice system ever acted in timely manner.

I would hope the SCOTUS would strike red flag laws as unconstitutional .

Tell that to Texas and Oklahoma,who have turned their states into a nation of stool pigeons over abortion.

We have learned that to stop a bad guy with a gun you need a group of good guys with chairs and extension cords. (One of the good guys might get shot and killed.)

I always find funny the reaction of Americans when I tell them that in Europe the highest number of guns can be found in Germany and France. Well regulated. And mostly hunting guns. For some reason none of those countries get school/work/street shootings every week. As well around 46% of all 857 million guns in civilian hands around the world belonged to people living in the United States in 2017, a survey has found.

Go armed to a debate on gun control?? Where’s the irony in that .. so long as everyone else is wearing a flak jacket.

Actual NRA convention policy

Strange thought on this theme: Do active shooter drills in schools lead to school shootings?

Simple research approach: Get all the shooters for the mass shooters. LOTS of data since America averages more than one mass shooting per day. Group them by the target. My prediction is that the school shooters will have more personal experience with active-shooter drills compared to the shooters from other places. Some of the surviving school shooters may even admit that the drills helped their massacre planning.

Yeah, correlation is not causation, but sometimes it makes you wonder.

Oh yeah. One more thing. Even if they fortify every school to Lying Ted’s satisfaction, the shooters will not run out of soft targets. As long as the wannabe violent lunatics of America can get the suitable weapons, they will find opportunities to shoot lots of people.

Love the name of the place!!

Ah, a “gun free zone.” Just asking for a mass shooting.

Amerika, land of Gun Care and Health Control

Probably neither.

In my state, guns are not allowed in establishments that sell liquor. Guess that’s not the case in other places.

Interesting video regarding “Good guy with a gun” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDkEFX52r9M

You gun-loving Yanks are nuts, like the Russians, only you kill your own people. FFS!
