    Pretty much like California then. In Georgia, I could walk in a shop and buy anything. Here in CA, I think the wait period is lover a week, and shops are all but non existent. In GA, there is legitimate hunting and need. CA is more for the paranoid, at least here in SoCal. Y’all also have a lot more police training, if memory serves. That makes a big difference in the numbers and risk/assessment.

    Most real liberals I have ever met look more like conservative stereotypes, own guns, are reasonable, and do not get tangled with idealism. That is not to say, indifferent to egalitarian cause, but realize the greatest evils in the world are ignorance and indifference.

      That is idealism.

      There’s no amount of information or appealing to morality or being really good and smart that will cause US politicians to stop giving weapons to Israel; they wouldn’t be in positions of power if their ideology didn’t benefit the military-industrial complex that finances their campaigns.
