Tombstone, Arizona, had a law that all firearms had to be left at city limits. The Earps confronting the Clantons about an apparent flouting of this law led to the Gunfight at the OK Corall.
My mom's small town had an excellent Chinese restaurant, but the owner decided to retire, and it shut down. I miss that place. my not quite as small town had two Chinese restaurants, but now we're down to one. It's just ok.
Gun violence is the go-to-term for grabbers and confiscators. It’s brilliant for public relations and incendiary to owners of firearms. Nobody says, “That gun is violent.” Literate persons say, “That person is violent.” Violence is a quality that applies to people and actions, not objects. The term is wrong in many ways, but psychologically, it is powerful. If you ever hear someone use this expression, hide your arms.
Although use of the term is clever, democrats cannot grasp the fact that criminals don't ask government's permission to use or even possess a firearm. Nevertheless, "gun violence" has become a mainstay of the democrat flimflam because it narrows the focus to fit the objective. The objective of course is to disarm the American public. Think about it. Have you ever heard the term "gun gentleness" used by a politician or anyone else?
No? Then ask yourself why the democrat party doesn't focus on just violence instead of gun violence. Fact is they're after guns, not violence. They couldn't care less about the entire field of violence because it commingles criminals with peaceable, lawful citizens and deflects from their intended focus on peaceable, lawful citizens.
Democrats hope to transform firearms owners into dependents. Once they're dependent on the government, democrats will choose which of them they'll allow to own firearms. Unfortunately, that privilege will be reserved for party bosses.
Democrats want citizens to believe making the U.S. safer for criminals will make it safer for their victims. Ask yourself, do you believe being disarmed makes you safer? What kind of political leader would disarm his people while howling about the peril they face?
I'm an Independent and I have no problem with responsible persons, responsibly trained, who responsibly store their guns and ammunition when not in use, owning guns. I object to any attempt to make it easier for persons who are mentally unfit to own guns, let alone guns suitable for massacres, to buy and keep guns.
I live in an Army town. We have several Chinese and Mexican restaurants, as well as Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, German, etc. As for myself, I learned to love flour tortillas when the Air Force sent our family to Honduras when I was 7 in 1961. (Then Dad gets stationed at Andrews A.F.B. and all Mom could buy was frozen cocktail tacos. Boo!)

How often do we hear the term "sober drivers" in public discourse? They're not the ones folks are worried about on the roads.
"The entire field of violence" is a wide span. There are indeed folks working on dysfunctional families, especially regarding domestic abuse; youth and adult gangs; access to firearms by the wrong people or under certain circumstances; suicides; impulse control; terrorism; violent bigots; and many others. All of these are legitimate areas of concern, which, after years of study and work, are beginning to be understood. It is poorly-informed or disingenuous of you to suggest otherwise.
Besides, I thought all this had become moot after Obama took all of our firearms.
The whole million mile high hierarchy pyramid of different amounts of ❝excellence❞ coupled with the invisible-man-in-the-sky with the overly-complicated rules just seems stupid and an excuse for hurting certain 'others'.
I dunno, a 6-shot black powder revolver might be reasonable. I mean, you might miss that first shot, what with the adrenaline making your hands shake and your blood pressure spike.
I will allow that. You just want to be able to drop the assailant, and keep him or her down until the authorities can get there. There is absolutely no need for anything powerful enough to shoot through a wall.
"Democrats hope to transform firearms owners into dependents". Huh? Based on what information besides your own conspiracy theory addled brain? That would be a NO. No sir.
I'm baffled by the precise method of equating "peaceable, lawful citizens" with disturbed characters who tweet and utter their murderous intentions for weeks, if not months, before they finally act. "Red flag" is not just a phrase left wingers use. The reddest of red flags are often flying for a long obvious time before the latest Hostile O'Frustrated cuts loose with his assault rifle and a couple of dozen more peaceable, lawful citizens -- grateful for that phrase -- are dead in their blood.I'd call the mugs who showed up at a state governor's house toting weapons and hung him in effigy -- with a placard on the effigy's chest that displayed a classic crazy assassin's catch-cry -- a raw case of red flag syndrome. I'd also call them a lynch mob.A tried and proven red flag that warms of potential shooting murders is domestic violence, too.None of this is theoretical. None of these red flags are false flags.

When I read such articles about Oklahoma, I'm grateful that Dad left Okmulgee when he was 17 (lied about his age to enlist during WWII).

"I was raised fundamentalist, and I approve remember this message."
My brain didn't work that way, and I couldn't fit it into the surrounding gestalt. By puberty, I had no interest in doing so.
Muskets. That’s all.
