    No matter what I said, I totally knew you would say something like this.
    In fact, I nearly ignored your question as I knew how you would run with it.
    So it doesn't surprise nor phase me. ;)

    And yet, it hasn't even slowed you down ;)

    See how sarcasm works? Others can use it too. Too bad we can't just discuss things like adults, even if we disagree without all the cynicism and sarcasm.

    As far as FoxNews goes, they are sloooooowly moving over to the Left (as expected) since the change in ownership. The left pretty much has a death grip on ALL media outlets in the USA barring only a few radio talk shows.

    FoxNews is slowly becoming Hollywood-centric. So naturally, more and more of the articles are going to agree with the Leftist POV.

    If all you bring to the table is your opinion and you refuse other information, there can be no discussion.

    Not that I need to explain what I own to the likes of you but I will take this chance to educate uninformed people like you about firearms.

    Guns are tools. And like all tools one size or model does not fit all jobs. I have guns of all sizes because they serve different roles. From Concealed carry which ranges in size based on time of the year to home defense guns which differ greatly from concealed carry guns. Hand guns, rifles and shotguns, a variety for a variety of reasons. When I have a gun with me while not at home I have guns at home for my wife. I have guns that are worked of art from a craftsmanship standpoint because I wanted them. In short it had nothing to do with how many guns I can use at once. That is a stupid analogy, do you have a single pair of shoes? One hat? How many can you wear at once? Just one coffee cup? How many of those do you use at one time?

    I’m hardly a scared little boy who has guns out of fear. I’m a aware adult who knows that my self defense is not anyone’s primary responsibility but my own. I have the tools to do that.

    I’ve been shooting for 40 years now. Been shooting those scary black rifles since 1987 when the USMC taught me how to do so properly. I’ve had my concealed carry permit since 1994. If you want to debate the reality of firearms in personal defense I’m can do that. I know squat about hunting, that is a topic for someone else.

    What is your experience with firearms?

    Likewise to you.
    I think I frequently add links etc to many of my posts.
    The problem with links / graphs etc is that anyone can easily find one to support their perspective, regardless of their "side".

    Okay. Let's try.
    You didn't like the NYT post on the raw number of deaths.
    Show me something - anything besides I don't trust that source that would dispute it.

    Ronv,
    Please....let's be honest OK?
    No matter what I post, you will find it unworthy.

    Thanks, but no thanks. You're more than welcome to read
    my posts if you like and pass judgment (or ignore them).

    I think the relevant take away is that we disagree on most things.

    How am I a NRA propaganda victim? What does that even mean?

    Of course there are limits on the 2nd A. Just as there are on the 1st A. What is your point?

    You never get tired of being wrong. Do you.
    Fox never told me this C19 crisis was overblown. CNN did with their BS coverage :)
    No doubt some stragglers showed up on

    Good. You probably had good people.
    These are not good people.

    The “NO” was in a racist font? That is what that link lead with. Racist font...let that sink in. Then tell me you have seen that font 1000 times on signs from show stores to mattress stores.

    Next we see that some asshat Nazis show up at the rally and then by default everyone there is a racist? So by default anybody who goes to a BLM rally is a racist because anti white groups show up at those? Or any women who go to feminist rallies hate men, because there are groups there that do indeed hate men. You can not be that naive.

    Such a negative angry person!
    Since you apparently are willing to put some time and energy into it......
    Why don't you instead agree to look into any 'BS" I post to see if there's a shred of truth?

    Too much to ask, I know.

    What part of that was incorrect?

    I don’t watch Fox, to be fair I do not watch the news I prefer to read it. Which is why I don’t bother with MSNBC, they have no stories on their site. Just videos because their demographic can’t or more likely are too lazy to read.

    CNN was a prime example of the doom and gloom cries about this virus. Their agenda is clearly present in the titles of articles before even having to read the articles. Like I posted yesterday their lead “analysis” was about how Trump is just worried about opening the economy for his political gain. Top of their page, lead story.

    The next story down, number 2?
    20,000,000 jobs lost last month.

    Let that bias and stupidity sink in.

    And I addressed your attempt to paint the rally as you think it was in a different reply.

    You seem a bit small minded. But I guess fear and isolation will do that to someone already living a dependent life such as liberals do. Fear is a horrible thing, try and shed it if you can.

    That's how we got here.
    I did read Nates article and I agree with him. Just quoting cases is misleading.
    But.... Number of deaths have no relationship to more or less cases. They are just dead people.

    Well I'm out of questions as you pointed so now I can not even ask WTH you are trying to imply or say.


    But on a brighter note, new vinyl arrived in the mail today. Two of them in fact, Great band out of Sweden. Their new album Black Metal is all acoustic.

    And look who has a unopen bottle :)

    I'd invite you over but I think you are still bunkered down hiding from the hunter killer virus right?

    Does not matter if they were or they were not, the media found a camera shot and automatically anybody white is a racist at the rally. typical lefty mindset.

    To try and say there were not good people on both sides at that is just as stupid as it sounds.

    You can not make absolute assertions about a group like that, well unless it's NYY fans cause yeah they all suck :)
