And not music.

I'm not in charge of music because @MormonGator wouldn't know good music if it blew his eardrum out.

Believe me, my eardrums are in bad enough shape as it is. I wear earplugs to every concert I go to now, from club shows to large festivals.

Celine Dion can really blast it.

At least you can truthfully say that @mirkwood has worse taste in music.

If you think I listen to Celine Dion, you thunk wrong.

Yes, but using his music taste as a measuring stick sets the bar really low.

Hey, don't say "blast" in a thread about guns.  Someone will get triggered.  --- See what I did? ... you see.. triggered... see, I ... nevermind.

[NeuroTypical]

Didn't read the thread.  But yeah, just about the best solution to just about all of societies ills, would be to help everyone find their testimony and baptize them into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Discipleship brings stuff like:

Centrality of the family. 

Principles of self reliance. 

Law of chastity. 

Law of Sacrifice.  

If everyone did that stuff, just what societal problems would be left?

For shame, Carbine, rifling though people's paranoid thoughts. You're better than that. Consider this bulleted list of suggestions:

• Calm down and mentally reload.
• Set your sights higher. Target something of real substance; don't just settle for a flash in the pan.
• Scope out your intent.
• Once you're barreling along at a good clip, go another round. Don't just follow; lead. Bang away.

Remember: Men of good caliber are not afraid to go against the grain.

Look! A magazine ad!

That's why I keep a gun - to avoid being shocked into permanent hysteria.

There's this meme going around:  Planned Parenthood, NRA:  Only one of these sell arms and it's not the NRA.  

@unixknight, sell arms... heads, shoulders, knees, and toes... and arms.

Oh I got the joke right away.  I was just stunned at the boldness of it.

Then lamented that I can't share it with my left-leaning friends because they will freak. Right. Out.

Dunno why they'd freak out.  It's all on video.  If they would have freaked out, they'd freak out then.

Well they rationalize it by saying it was just PP being reimbursed for the cost of storage and transport.  Nonsense, but better than admitting the reality.
