    Love this.  Looking forward to reading it. 
    Thank you….

    I was reading another book that just wasn't working for me and gave up on it last night.  I started poking around trying to find something good to read and decided it to re-read this excellent book.  It's just what I need right now, the perfect antidote to despair.  I'm loving it all over again!

    I was/wasn’t going to tell you that I ordered it already because I know how much the whole Amazon thing should be a no…..well you know what I mean.  Looking forward to getting it tomorrow.  I read some of the reviews, all excellent, and seems many were recommending “Lamb” as well.

    These mass shootings are good for the GOP bottom line. The fear and chaos are great talking points in election years, and the cash from the gun lobby is great because $$$$$$. 

    They are pro mass shootings. Once you accept that, their behavior and inaction makes perfect sense.

    Well, let's put it this way, if I dissed every person I know who uses Amazon I would be a rather lonely soul :lol:   I'm just glad you're getting a copy.  Looking forward to hearing how you like it!  :smile:

    I was almost banned once for having bad Karma (I saved our wonderful mods the trouble and banned myself for 6 months).  Why?  Because I said terrible things to people on this site who voted for 45.  That was my bad karma.  Them having voted for 45?  I would have to say that is their karma and let them figure out whether it's good or bad.

    Because everyone needs a sniper rifle or big game gun for self defense, right? 2A, ‘Murica!

    What we know about the weapon: The rifle was a Ruger SFAR, chambered for high-powered .308 ammunition, the sources said. 

    The .308 round is favored by military snipers firing at long distances and big game hunters. It's larger and more powerful than the regular ammunition carried in the rifles of soldiers and SWAT teams. 

    One of the challenges in identifying victims at the two crime scenes from Wednesday's mass shooting was nearly all the victims were shot in the head, rendering some of them unrecognizable, a law enforcement source told CNN.

    The sources say the weapon found inside Card’s 2013 white Subaru Outback appears to be the same one fired by the gunman at the bowling alley and a local bar, though a ballistics match has not been confirmed.

    The weapon will be processed by the FBI and ATF for fingerprints and DNA, and then run through laboratory testing to determine if the bullets and shell casings found at the scene match.

    Sources tell CNN Card also bought a Beretta 92-F 9mm semi-automatic pistol, along with the rifle, in the same July purchase.

    he should have saved everyone the trouble and shot himself before he killed all of those people.

    fucking trash human he was.

    I don’t recal anyone else coming out and saying they were wrong and will support future bans. I think it’s a good response

    If the problem is people’s hearts as the new speaker claims! Why give anyone with a heart a fucking gun? Or if people are the problem why give people easy access to any weapon they so desire?

    He also claims he is going to follow God's rule.
    What if someone was elected and wanted to follow dionysus' rule?  Satan's?  We should have the same reaction

    Fucking stupid.  Follow the constitution.   Keep your God stuff to rule your personal life, if you so choose.

    Yeah, so much for separation of church and state.  This fool should have become a deacon and stayed the hell out of politics.

    Not Recalling anyone else apologizing- that was my point.  That sooner or later tragedy would hit close to home and then, and only then, would someone come out against guns. 

     I didn’t say it was the wrong response.  

    I’m saying it’s too late.  There’s no way to get these guns off people and no way to stop the underground sales.  

    We live in a country where you need to tell the people you love them every time they’re out of your sight.  Bowling alleys, movie theaters, grocery stores, concerts.  No where in America is safe.  

    I wish you could see that basically we all want the same things for our families, loved ones, instead of being so defensive all the time.  Sometimes I think you only read part of our posts. Or interpret them negatively instead of asking what we mean.  I said nothing derogatory about that “republican” politician but you turned it as if I said something ugly, which I didn’t. 

    PS. I didn’t even know he was a republican when I posted my response mace so there’s was no reason to defend him.

    I was almost banned once for having bad Karma (I saved our wonderful mods the trouble and banned myself for 6 months).  Why?  Because I said terrible things to people on this site who voted for 45.  That was my bad karma.  Them having voted for 45?  I would have to say that is their karma and let them figure out whether it's good or bad.
    I had a strong opinion about Russell Brand and the allegations of rape.  Nothing against any of the members, just rapists.  

    I was confused because everyone on this forum wishes horrible things on trump but I guess they don’t get flagged.  I also love when everyone posts nasty shit about a member w/out posting their name and gets away with it.  
    Then there’s those who claim they didn’t flag someone but they did.  Just be honest.  I flagged someone for calling women bitches but the post remains.  I’m thinking the mods play favorites😂. The whole Boebert responses were totally out of line so I flagged all those after my punishment was over.  I have no clue if they were ever removed.

    Sorry to hear about your time out.  I think it takes some time to get accustomed to what is OK to say and what is not.  And with only two mods and lots of members here, I'm sure some things get overlooked.
    It helps to establish a rapport with our mods.  In my early days here, I made a post that I thought was totally fine and was called out on it by Kat.  Actually, I'm sure that has happened more than once.  I took that as a learning experience and found ways to say what I wanted to say that would stay in bounds of the parameters here and would float.  I still have to check myself at times because I tend to get a bit passionate, angry, or riled up over certain subjects.

    In any case, I'm very glad you're here with us. :smile:
