Re: Relaxing Gun Control
Charging a president with being a draft dodger is getting a bit tired - the last President with bona fide military service was Bush Sr. In any case, were it not for President Trump's age there wouldn't have been a draft for him to dodge. I think the youngest man alive today who has ever been drafted, or dodged it, must be 56-57ish.
I've no bone to pick with anyone who for one reason or another avoided the draft. There were plenty of them in the streets of Montreal panhandling for small change when I lived there.
What I do despise is someone who avoided the draft and now shoots his big mouth off about how wonderful our military is and fawns over military men who like Marine General Mad Dog Mattis a soldier who genuinely believed in serving his country and served it honourably.

Plans for tomorrow have changed, bit worried about the size my woodpile but still a lot of snow in the trees.
May need Mr P and his Stihl.

Re: Relaxing Gun Control
America and it's love affair with guns. Was history altered for the worse by a deranged former Marine sharpshooter who purchased a 25 dollar Mannlicher-Carcano carbine from a guns and ammo catalog?
Was it a Remington 30.06 fired at a man standing on the balcony of a motel in Memphis which led us down the path of hate and disunity for decades to follow?

I'd like to give Wayne La Pierre a .38 and confine him to the neighbourhoods of south side Chicago for a month

Re: Relaxing Gun Control
Boiler, I worry about your memory. 
I was worried earlier this week about an expected supply of timber suitable for firewood becoming available, but everything remained standing, including the leaning, hung-up pine that I have been hoping for at least five years, that an ice storm would take care of. It creaked and groaned a good bit though!

Re: Relaxing Gun Control
In the case of Katrina there existed government support but it was ineffective because of incompetence. President Bush Jnr that master of bad judgment and bad decisions had appointed a man whose job it was to take charge of such disasters but who was completely unqualified to hold that post. The Governor of Louisiana seemed to have suffered a brain freeze at the same time.
Many people in N.O chose to ignore warnings of the coming hurricane and became stranded when it did hit. Roving gangs broke into gun stores and when police tried to bring food, medicine and other supplies by chopper to the several thousand who had taken refuge in the Saints football team stadium they were fired on by armed thugs on the ground. Add to that was the desertion of a large number of police officers.
When I mentioned that one of the reasons to justify the right of everyone to own a gun on the grounds of defending democracy against tyranny which I repeat again is a ridiculous notion this has no connection with Katrina and the collapse of law and order and government function on the grounds of sheer incompetence and nothing else

Did you take one of these along? Who needs guns when you can have your very own robocop.
