I just got ID'd in a bar. I have grey in my beard.

He/she just wanted to know your name to Facebook stalk you.

It tells of a deeply sick culture, when

• The default response to gun violence is "we need more guns", and
• A common response to "we need stricter control" is "you're not going to take our guns away".

I mean, where else in the world are people even remotely considering arming ground school teachers? The kids have lost their freedom, indeed.

In other news. I forgot what I actually was going to post.

You were going to post something about beer?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Possibly

No, I think it had to do with the Olympics but was too silly to post in the Pyeongchang 2018 thread. And now it's bed time.

If someone broke into my home with a gun, I sure as hell would want one as well to protect myself.

Yes, but a shotgun works just as well as an AR-15, right?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I think more about the culture as a whole - where many people feel they need guns to be safe in their everyday life, and where organizations who feed that fear have great influence on politicians. I'm not saying that there's something wrong with an individual's desire to protect himself/herself, but Americans should ask themselves why the need for guns for self-defense is apparently so much greater in the USA than in any other western country (bar Mexico, perhaps). There are more guns per capita in other countries, but mainly for hunting and sports shooting.

Please explain.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Estonian Declaration of Independence. Baby Estonia became a centenarian!

 

[Black Wizard]

But then it became part of the USSR. Does Estonia have two independence days?

 

[Saapanael]

Yes, the Restoration of the Republic of Estonia took place on August 20th, 1991. Thus, both February 24th and August 20th are celebrated. But I'd say the emphasis is on the former.

You guys have twice as much freedom as Americans.

I was going to say "There's a thread for that" but instead I will say something else:

I see what you did there.

Ideally everyone should have a machine gun nest in their bedroom, overlooking the front yard and driveway. And carry a semi-automatic everywhere. That would make everyone safe.

Or in Trumpish;

Many gun
Much safe
Wow.

You're gonna get so tired of guns.
