    Neither is the rioting and looting, it’s sad it’s come to what it is, but I get protecting your community from potential destruction.

    yep me too. Im just concerned these looks are what Americas enemies have been waiting cor to pounce. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if any and all of America's enemies are covertly communicating on thoughts and ideas of how to use this as an angle to bring our country down.

    Yeah, I really don’t think those with the guns are trying to hurt the protesters in any way. They just don’t want the assholes who are using the protests as a cover to destroy their neighborhood. How is protecting your neighborhood any different than protecting your place of business? It’s your community, take it back.

    I’ll be the first to say I am with the message of the actual protest, I am against police brutality, I think the unfair racial discrimination needs to end as well. However, I will protect my family and property from those who want to cause damage and assault people.

    Sure. Most things are attainable, if you have the right contacts and enough money. The question is how easily accessible we want to make tools of mass killing.

    Let's be honest. That stunt is intended to intimidate. Nothing else.

    of course. And i bet they wouldnt deny it. Intimidate any lawless factions from committing senseless crimes of violence.
    When the protests leave the business district and enter residential neighbors and its a FACT the protestors have those following that are intent on destruction, it changes things.
    How can anyone put these people down for wanting to protect their own?

    no its not a good look at all. It terrifies me the global image being formed.
    But lets not criticize those who are wanting to protect their homes from what is happing all over the country.


    there has got to be a compromise.
    There must be some common sense and common ground.

    it may not look good but i would never criticize anyone for wanting to protect their own family to the fullest extent of their capabilities.
    It isn’t like its a hollow threat and the danger isn’t real.
    Turn on the news!

    It takes two to tango. Now, which one is more controllable? Is it the shooter or the gun? Pretty hard to control the shooter unless he's an ex con. So, what does that leave?

    The best weapon for self defense has to be the shotgun.

    I’ve shot all kinds of guns. Been around them all my life.

    First gun I ever shot I was 9 years old at my uncles place up in Scappoose. It was a .357 magnum that about put me on my ass. My cousins thought it was hilarious.

    I used to go shoot shotguns all the time with some buddies up on larch mountain.

    I’ve shot an AR15 up at Larch mountain as well.

    I never understood the thrill. I mean it wasn’t like some kind of rush or high for me.

    I’m also not very paranoid so I’ve never thought about getting one. I just have never felt like I needed one.

    I am thinking about getting a Doberman. I’ll train it to be family and people friendly. But like German Shepard’s we had as kids they’re protective of their people. Only don’t have to put up with the hair shedding BS that you gotta deal with on the Shepard’s

    I never got the thrill either. Been to gun ranges for bachelor parties, and thought it was pretty fucking boring tbh.

    I’m gonna one up you. I went to a bachelor party in a barn in Warren, Oregon. No strippers, no blow. Just a bunch of dudes sitting around bullshitting drinking coors light.

    The night ended for my group when some red neck rando swung at me from behind and missed and a buddy popped him in the face and knocked one of his teeth out. We decided it was lame as fuck and dipped.

    I'll do you up one better than that. Bach party about 15 years ago or so in Vegas. Big party, maybe 15 guys I knew maybe 3 or 4.

    Had tables set up at Tao. Two secretaries from my work were in town that weekend. Met them up at Rehab in the afternoon to set shit up for the evening and one of the girls had friends who were hired by the WWE and this was their going away party weekend (they were the Bella Twins). Anyway, the bach party decided to just stay in and have a strippers come to the room (we had a big ass suite at some Off Strip Time Share and I was in a sleeping bag) and ditch the table. Strippers were ugly, they had to pay like $1000 just to have her take her top off. It was the saddest shit I've ever seen. They kept on asking us to throw in more money so the girls would put on a better show, but it didn't get better at all. We ended up going to a strip club, got a private room. The guys were fucking tightwads, half of them were married or whipped and the other half were fucking incels and stopped spending money after a round of dances, so girls stopped going by. So we had like 15 guys there, in a big fucking circle jerk, not doing jack shit. I ended up ditching them with another guy and ended up at the Palms. Jack shit happened, was in a bad frame of mind.

    Found out the next day that one of the secretaries from work had sex with a girl who was a Playboy Playmate from the year prior. I was so fucking pissed that next day.
