From the third one: "See what happens when the government comes to take your guns? You die!"

Still true today. So why do folks pretend a rifle is going to keep Uncle Sam at bay?

This country makes me angry, almost all of the time.

Let's play "Spot the Real Racist". (Hint: it's you!)

This is how the Philando Castillo incident should've played out. Good job to this smart gun owner.

Today I was pulled over by police. I had a loaded and concealed handgun on me at the time. Please keep in mind that my actions were completely voluntary for one simple reason. This is what happened.

He approached the drivers side and asked if I knew why he stopped me and I said I did not. He said my registration expired June 30 of 2016. He asked to see my drivers license, registration, and insurance card. As I kept my hands firmly locked at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel I immediately stated.....

"For your safety and mine sir I would like to inform you that I am a legally armed citizen. I have a concealed carry permit in my wallet. I don't want to get my registration and insurance card because I have my pistol in the same compartment as my documents. The pistol is in the small compartment under the cup holder. Please be careful, there is a round in the chamber, the thumb safety is on, and there's an extra magazine with it."

He asked that I keep my hands on the wheel like they were and asked again where my handgun was. He asked where my wallet was with my permit card. I answered and then said.....

" I would like you to take possession of the handgun. I'll get out of the truck if you want me to while you get it." He told me that would be great and thanked me for my cooperation.

When I got out of the truck he wouldn't turn his back to me. I asked if he would like to search me for any other weapons so he knew I wasn't a threat. He said....

"If you don't mind that would be great. Do you have any other firearms or weapons on you or in the truck?" I replied that I did not.

The police officer searched me and retrieved my handgun from the compartment with my documents and asked permission to retrieve my drivers license and conceal carry permit from my wallet. I gladly gave him permission to get what he needed. I also gave him permission to search the rest of my truck if he wanted to if he felt it necessary. The officer declined the consent I gave him to search.

After all the formalities the cop brought my pistol back to me and I said "If you want you can just lay everything on the drivers seat and I'll get it when we're done."

I thanked him for being as calm as he was especially dealing with someone that had a handgun that was legally carried. The cop thanked me for my cooperation. He asked me to sign the warning ticket and to make sure to get my registration taken care of ASAP.

I thanked him and the back up officer for their service and told them to be safe, especially nowadays with all the crazy poo poo that was going on. I told them that was the reason I carry a handgun myself. I shook both of their hands. He handed me my warning and I went on my way.

After the cold blooded terrorist attack and hate crime in ‪#‎Dallas‬ and that day learning about ‪#‎BatonRouge‬ where the blood spilled still fresh in the minds of every American I chose to do what I thought was right.

The moral of the story.

It's about everyone's safety.

It's about respect.

When you treat people with civility you get treated with civility.

Thank you Altoona Police Department for having professional law enforcement officers representing your department and protecting the well being of the city.

I can't imagine that there are real people who oppose black lives matter who would voluntarily surrender their firearm to a government official.

As any of my fellow Western Pennsylvanians will attest, Altoona is a shithole, and had this happened there at all with a black driver it would have ended on the national news.

This is getting painfully close to the "say Radical Islamic Terrorist" line of magic words horseshit. I'm someone who donated to and supported Bernie, he's not going to be President, loving deal with reality already.

Maybe I just have the advantage of my first election cycle I could vote in being 2004, so I know what losing an election looks like and how stupid it is to delude yourself.

I'm seeing a lot of right leaning comments accusing Khan of exploiting his sons death for political maneuvering.

So I guess spending millions on investigating Benghazi, while parading Sean Smith's mom around... That's not exploitation at all, right?

You're right, the Clintons are wealthy. It sure would be nice if the used their wealth and fame to help those who need it. Possibly start some kind of charitable "Clinton Foundation", one that uses not only their own money but uses their fame to get other people's money as well in an effort to help people without needing to involve the pesky government. I wonder why they haven't done this yet, surly conservatives would love them for their free market acts of charity..

An actual quote I've seen is, "I've sat with my gun all afternoon and it never loaded itself and shot me."

quote:

Yesterday I placed my shotgun on the front porch, gave it six shells, and noticing it had no legs, placed it in a wheelchair to help it get around. I left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the boy across the street picked up my yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near my house.

After 10 hours, I checked on the shotgun. It was still sitting in the wheelchair. It had not rolled outside and It had not killed anyone in spite of many opportunities that had been presented. It had not even loaded itself.

Can you imagine how surprised I was with all the hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people? Either the media is wrong and the killing is by people misusing guns or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world. So now I'm off to check on my spoons, because I hear they make people fat.

That statistic is meaningless without considering what portion of the population at large belongs to that group of people. Surprise surprise- there are a bunch more white people than black.

She even brought up Benghazi herself, boasting about kicking the poo poo out of Gowdy and Chaffetz for 11 hours.

Trump won in all the online polls where 4channers could vote multiple times.

Ironic to see Republicans, who so often rant and rave about voter fraud, whole heartedly endorsing these results.
