Racial venom spewed toward any susceptible population can result in bad outcomes. Germans weren't born hating Jews. Muslims aren't born hating everybody else. And I strongly believe the shooter in Dallas wasn't born hating white people and cops.
I accept that that a lot of good Americans feel differently than me and even though more feel as I do, all citizens have the right to their opinion. I respect that. That is what America is all about. I just wish there was a solution to what has taken place the last couple of days. It is sickening regardless of how any of us feel about gun control. That, I'm certain, is true. Thank goodness we can agree on that point.
Armed citizens prevents armed takeover by our Leftist regime. Without this checks and balance, we would've been subjected to tanks in our neighborhoods decades ago.
There is much, much money to be made by a select corrupt and sinister few within the government once the enslaved citizenry is placed under their dominance. Greed, after all, is the #1 sin. It leads to unfettered power and control. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Just look at the nut case in N. Korea as an example of what we can become once enslaved.
But then, there are those who enjoy the notion of being dominated.

I don't worry about enslavement by the elitists in pur government for one large reason. Who could they have fo their dirty work? The military and law enforcement is largely made up of folks just like you and me. The end result of any order to the military to violate our freedoms or use force against us would result in the removal and imprisonment of those who tried to give that order.Armed citizens prevents armed takeover by our Leftist regime.

The Left's agenda under the current regime is, in part, to racially divide this country. The obvious plan is to fuel ethnic dissent to keep the African-American and Hispanic vote trending toward/firmly entrenched within the Democratic party. Despite past Democratic atrocities committed against African-Americans, the media over time has convinced them that conservative policies are harmful and that institutional enslavement and economic manipulation/oppression are in their best interests.Don't forget that it was people like Al Sharpton who fanned the flames in Ferguson and don't forget that we have a president who simply divides us with every word he says about these events. These folks have so polarized us that we have paralyzed ourselves. And, don't forget that it was the president who inserted his justice department into this whole mess who have just pointed all the blame at local law enforcement.
We are in a really bad place and simply dividing us is doing the exact wrong things.
And, please don't forget that it was the Dallas Police Officers who died while protecting the freedom of speech and the freedom to express their political beliefs of the Black Lives Matter protestors. They died so others could enjoy their Constitutional rights.
Yeah, about 20 year ago, a news agency polled 500 assorted law enforcement and national guard peeps.I don't worry about enslavement by the elitists in pur government for one large reason.

I'm strongly opposed to anything that infringes on the Second Amendment because the right to self defense is an inalienable one. It was not granted to us by our government. We're born with that right. The Framers got it right in explicitly removing the ability of our government from infringing on our right to self defense.
Dallas police now under an anonymous threat tonight.
HERE WE GO!! BLAME OBAMA!! SO TYPICAL...Well hey these guys have been taught that they can shoots at cops, burn buildings and do whatever they want in the name of protest and nothing will happen. Our president seems to fuel the fire
REALLY??!!!! YOU JUST BLAMED THE PRESIDENT FOR SOME STUPID *** SHOOTING AT THE POLICE?? Are all Oklahomans redneck jackasses??https://www.yahoo.com/news/three-officer-fatally-shot-during-000000452.html

As I went to bed at 2:30 a.m., five officers were dead. One a female. Six in various conditions in either Baylor Hospital or Parkland. Most are DPD, but one is a DART officer, assigned to the local transit authority.
This isn't about gun control. This is about the president of the U.S. giving people permission to shoot at police, because he decided that police are the problem, and used an incident where he knew the facts, lied about them in Ferguson, and said it is the fault of police in general. But he'll use this as yet another occasion to rail against legal gun owners. He will not accept any blame, when he is the chief reason these events keep happening. He'd rather protect terrorists, than those who put their lives on the line for us every day across the country.
It's a very disturbing night in Dallas. They still don't know exactly how many shooters there were. Police were shot in the head and in the back by snipers on top of a multi story building.
When the perp in Ferguson died, because of his owns actions, Obama spoke from the White House to blame the police officer who was doing his job. Obama's own justice dept, the most corrupt of my lifetime, found the facts were the opposite of the POTUS claim. But that fueled these ongoing shootings of our police across the country. And he views those events as an op to rail against gun owners. Last night, when five police officers died, HE TWEETED. His priorities are clear. And he is causing one of the most dangerous professions in the country, and perhaps our most essential, to be much much much more dangerous. This IS on Obama. To defend him is to support the continued violence.

I will not be surprised if what happened in Dallas will happen in Cleveland at the Republican Convention next week.....and the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia July 25-28.

George Soros gave BLM 12 million bucks.It won't stop at the conventions. It's full on now. After the conventions, if Trump is elected, it'll get even nastier, if Hillary wins, she won't attempt stop the violence. Civil Law & the rules of society has been allowed to completely break down. And the Feds in charge have done nothing to investigate the funding & sponsors of the terrorism we're all experiencing.
The eggs have been laid, nurtured and have officially hatched.

He should be brought.up on sedition charges.
If Trump were to win, which is not likely given Hillary's aptitude of playing the race and class warfare card (like a good liberal), riots will occur everywhere. As far as sparing the lives of many people, Hillary's win in November may be the "best" option.....and Obama's tainted legacy will continue.It won't stop at the conventions. It's full on now.

Yep, that's the most galling part of the caper,The problem there is... there's nobody in any of the Legislative Branch, the Judicial Branch or the Executive Branch willing to lead the charge (who has the power to do so). Most of them have turn their backs on the American people and side with Soros.
Yep, I'd like to think his last words were...I hope they release the first-person-pilot video from that parking garage robot soon. I'd love to see the look on that POS's face before boom.
Its all good Tom.Awesome. Now this thread has spiraled down to name calling and personal insults, as they usually when political issues are raised. This is why we can't have nice things. Fall can't get here soon enough so that we can get back to arguing about Sooner football. See you boys and lady then.
Agree, fitty.Its all good Tom.
Considering the gut wrenching emotions this event hath wrought, I believe that everyone that matters has comported themselves admirably.
If you would have told me 8 yrs ago that Cop Killing would be a weekly event in 2016 I would have scoffed and laughed at your comment. Where do you think we are headed in the next 8 years? Do you see any type of leader from any direction, from any party that can unite us as a nation? I don't. Obama ran his first election on the platform of a 'Uniter'. He wasn't. He failed. He is no leader of people. He's a community organizer. He's organizing 100's of thousands communities w/ a divide & conquer playbook. He is dividing this country further than we've witnessed since the Civil Rights days of the late 60's. I see things getting much, much, worse. This is why we need protection. At least me anyway. Our Govt can no longer protect us.
BTW, I added a newbie to the safe today. I picked up a nice Glock 19 Gen 4 (9mm/15 rd) & for good measure tossed a nice laser on it.![]()
Good call on the Glock 19.
I mean come on...several million law enforcement officers worldwide can't be wrong.
I love my Sooners in all sports and I guess you do too. What you typing is very ignorant . If you sit next to a black person at a sooner sporting event,please don't high five them.This is just an interesting fact for those who are supporting the Black Lives Movement.
Between January 1 of 2009 and December 31 of 2012 Black men murdered 4,472 other black men.
During that same time period of time 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police involved killings.
It stands to reason that most of the police involved in killings of black males were justified shootings. That is black males killed either in the act of a crime or in the apprehension of a black male who was in the process of committing a crime. Such as the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
I can't get around the idea that the Black Lives Movement isn't or won't focus on the over-whelming cause of murder of black men, which is black men killing black men.
Chicago is the murder capital of the US. We all know that the vast majority of the Chicago murder rate is black men killing black men and these murders are connected to the black illegal drug business. Black gang members killing other black gang member.
Now, we know 5 white cops were murdered in Dallas two days ago by a black man who hates whites and was bent on murdering white men who were cops.
I don't know how any reasonable can make any sense out of any of this.
I think we are going to learn that the killing of the black man in Minnesota by a white cop was a justified killing. And, when we do we will have another incident where the left wing political established have used another unfortunate incident to call for gun control.
My bet is that the vast majority of black on black murders/killings involving guns are being committed by black felons who used illegal guns to kill.
