Texas Police Dept. Provides Statement to TheBlaze on Vet Arrested After ‘Rudely Displaying’ Rifle (Plus, a Texas Firearms Attorney Weighs In)

RANGERSKIPPY – My cousin and I were walking along a country road and all of the sudden, a badger came running out after us. Of course we were faster than the badger. Animals do attack people on occasion, particularly rabid animals. You may not have had such an experience, but I assure you it does happen. Last year, there were a couple of women attacked by a rabid beaver (I think it was in Virginia), and they had to get help from a guy who beat the beaver off with a paddle. They had a heck of a time with it and one of the women had to have several stitches and rabies shots.

As far as your “common sense” comment goes, open carry of firearms used to be considered normal. What we need to do is stand up for our rights and help people become comfortable around firearms, and then someone with a firearm won’t be such a concern. It’s either that, or the anti-gun crowd will continue to vilify those of us with firearms until “common sense” becomes defined as not being allowed to have one.

If you weren’t such an idiot moron (I just figured that since you stooped to name calling instead of rational arguments, perhaps you would understand better if someone applied those terms to you), you would would learn to think before foolishly writing in ignorance.

Nice job taking Rush’s comments out of context.
Why Is the Federal Govt. in the Marriage Business?

In reply to PAPPY72.

THEOSIS4U – I’m not speaking directly to the specifics of how government involvement in Marriage has changed over time (Which is also why I was vague on the subject). My point is that it is in the interests of ALL societal institutions to support traditional marriage as the device by which stable familial continuity is supported. This support is necessary to insure the continuation of civilization. If we agree on that, then the next question is: “how should institutions support traditional marriage?”

So far, it appears that our institutions have not done a good job of supporting traditional marriage. This is perhaps due to bad law as, I believe, you have alluded to. After 80+ years of this, marriage has lost it’s original definition which is why gay marriage is being debated. Instead of accepting this change in the definition of marriage, I would propose that we investigate ways to restore the level of institutional support needed for traditional marriage. Since we’ve changed a lot over the past 80+ years, we have to come up with new ways to support traditional marriage than what were once used.
Why Is the Federal Govt. in the Marriage Business?

March 28, 2013 at 12:04pm

Governments have been involved in Marriage since the beginning of human civilization. Societal institutions (including government) have always recognized and supported the biological device of marriage. This was done automatically and without a whole lot of thought being needed as it has been well established that marriage was an device necessary to promote stable familial continuity in society. Debating why the government is involved in Marriage is like debating why the sky is blue. Up until recent times the value of Marriage was an accepted reality, now, all of the sudden, we’ve lost all sense of the basic biological building blocks of human civilization. If our debate and discussion isn’t a sign of a doomed society, I don’t know what is….
Nevermind: Venezuela Won’t Be Embalming Hugo Chavez After All

Marxists are such hypocrites. They decry religion and the tyranny of the bourgeoise, yet they treat their leaders like gods the way ancient egyptions treated pharohs. They make the so-called “bourgeoise” look like amatuers.
Bill O’Reilly Calls for Gun Registration on Letterman: ‘Just Like You Have to Register Your Car’

This is an example of why I don’t watch Bill. I never trusted the guy. Always thought he was squishy about his ideology in that it’s more important for him to appear like a “reasonable” moderate than to stand up for core beliefs.
It’s Official: Feds Sue Famed Ratings Agency S&P — the Same One That Downgraded the U.S.

This is classic government corruption. S&P does something that the politico’s don’t like, and the politicos turn around and bring the hammer of government down on them. Don’t mess with the power-elites.
Child Whipped Roughly 25 Times by Store Clerk With a Belt Speaks Out: ‘Nobody Should Have That Kind of Torture’

In reply to nosharia.

I don’t know how old you are, but at one time, disciplining someone else’s child was considered normal (this was as recently as the 70′s and 80′s as I recall), and consistently backed up by the child’s parents. This attitude of “no one better touch my child by me” is one of the reasons we have such spoiled children. Children know they can do anything as long as the parents don’t find out, and they know they can pit their doting parents against other adults by claiming to be “little angels” using the “I didn’t do it” or “I didn’t mean it” excuss, and of course, the parent who doesn’t want to hurt their precious, sweet, innocent, child will allow themselves to be persuaded. Result: spoiled manipulative kids, who grow up electing socialist democrats.
Child Whipped Roughly 25 Times by Store Clerk With a Belt Speaks Out: ‘Nobody Should Have That Kind of Torture’

In reply to 1Joyfilled.

Years ago, it was considered normal that when a child got out of hand, an adult could do whatever needed to be done to discipline the child, including spanking, even if it wasn’t your own kid. Then, when the parents of the child were made aware of the situation, the child would recieve additional discipline from the parents. Now, I read on The Blaze everyone saying “you can’t spank someone else’s child!”. The problem with ths approach is it allows kids to pit adults against each or even be spoiled by parents who refuse to discipline their own children. Of course, after many decades of this, we now see the results (not necessarily in this instance…poor reporting gives us only one side of the story). I think we should go back to the “anyone can discipline my child as well as the parent approach”. We might have better behaved children then once they know that no adult will put up with their misbehavior.
Oregon Men Openly Carry Rifles Around Portland Neighborhood to Make Point — Good Idea? (Poll)

January 10, 2013 at 7:29pm

I think this is a good idea. People need to get used to the open carry of guns. Too many have become frightened of guns. I remember when I was in grade school (in the early 80′s), several of the kids would bring their guns into school the on the Friday before Thanksgiving week because they would be leaving immediately from school to go deer hunting. None of us were worried or intimidated. No one thought twice about it….
