  • Good. I started learning when I was six. I had to of course relearn many of the things I was taught as a child. I used to own nearly thirty firearms. No reason really. I just enjoyed shooting them. At targets. I didn’t like to hunt. Over time I sold them all down to two. One is the first firearm I every bought myself. The other is the first gun my dad ever gave me. It jammed and the feed tube was maligned and he couldn’t fix it. He bought another and gave the bad one to me. I broke it down when my parents were not around and fixed it. I haven’t fired more than a dozen rounds in the last fifteen years. I really hope I don’t have to fire one ever again.


  • As someone from rural Arkansas who in my early life was around these farmers and their families quite a bit until I was in my mid twenties. I can tell you they are some of the most obstinate people you can meet. They regularly got welfare in the form of subsidies and then talked trash about anyone needing welfare or food stamps. Some of those people were their workers.

    I’ve watched them buy new vehicles and trash them in just a few years when they could have taken care in the fields with them. Instead they would twist them like pretzels pulling and pushing on farm equipment instead of thinking things through. They didn’t care because they would be getting some graft from the government to pay for a new one.

    So no they don’t need help. Unless it mental health. They will never vote in their best interests. They will continue to believe they are better than everyone around them. They will of course whine like toddlers when they don’t get their way.
