Having never fired a gun in her life she passed the cc course after the ro explained to her how her weapon and sights work. It's laughable. It's just another tax on what is your freedom.

So you feel a hunters safety course should be taken if it were actually a beneficial course?

Same for the CC course?

If you have taken hunters safety or bought a hunting license, EVER, then why is gun registration so scary? Registration would be the long way around to identifying right wing gun owners wouldn't you think?

Boycott licenses and hunters safety.

On another note, how come everyone is a proponent of hunters safety courses prior to being able to hunt, but any talk of required course for gun ownership is tin foil hat city?

Good Point....

Goooh, Registration is not required because it was never required. It is a protection afforded by the constitution. I have a God given right to own a means to protect me and my family. I do not get my rights from the Government, nor should I need permission (license) to own a weapon if I am a law abiding citizen. There is always too much discussion regarding the weapon. We just had nut choose to use his truck to attack 10 bicyclist, killing at least 5. It received one day of news...had he used a gun to pick even 1 or 2 off, it would have been discussion fodder for a week, with the POTUS calling for a ban. Our point is, it is not the 99.997 percent of gun owners committing crimes, so don't make it more difficult to protect ourselves, and don't put me on your govt list so that when you do have enough in the supreme court to overturn the 2nd amendment as we know, govt WILL begin confiscation of guns. Read what happened in Australia in the 90s.

Anyone else find it messed up that there is more time spent on social media by people trying to advocate their pro gun / anti gun , pro Islam / anti Islam , pro gay / anti gay .... Etc instead of promoting prayer for the people who lost their lives and their families?

Well, I think the simplest answer to that is that people don't believe in prayer anymore. You could post that on social media, and I guarantee you would get someone making a comment about "asking a big imaginary friend in the sky" to help us.

Or, as I've seen, comments about how these were gay men and women, and God doesn't help them.

It's just the day and age we live in. Prayer takes a backseat to everything else.

I think a lot of people are praying but not bragging about it. It's a private thing for most. No different than donating to a charity then getting on here and patting your own back about what you did. Smalls this is not a shot at you or anyone just a thought.

Or perhaps those who believe in prayer also believe the Lord instructed his people not to call attention to their prayers.

Something about praying in secret.

Apparently you both missed my point. There is a pretty good chance that if you say something about praying for anyone on social media, you are going to get ripped for having an imaginary friend. My post was in direct response to Pox's post about why you don't see anything about prayer on social media.

No doubt there are people praying, but you can't broadcast it on social media without being ripped by those who don't believe in prayer and God.

Yeah, you shouldn't go around patting your back about prayer, but no one said anything about that. And the posts that both Pox and I are talking about are not those. It's the "we need to be praying for these innocent lives that were lost" posts that you aren't seeing much of, as opposed to the "ban guns" fights going on, or the "guns don't kill people, terrorists kill people" posts.

You missed your own point. People that are truely praying aren't talking about it. I'm not one of those so no I'm not patting my back.

That would be politically incorrect and offensive.

Although it is very sad what is done is done. Nothing will change that.

We have become so well conditioned........respects to pox's thoughts......the end of the day we need a three party system where we, normal people, are not made to feel we have to hate the boggy man to be a part of a party

[duckman1911]

Gooh I don't disagree with much you have said. I believe a person should take it upon themselveses to seek to become qualified in anything they do. Driving, shooting etc. I don't believe the government should take away freedoms you already have then sell you back to you. It should be a personal responsibilty to do well in anything you do. I think maybe we can both agree on the lack of personal responsability now days.

How do you know how much time anyone on here has spent praying for the victims today? I started off this post offering prayers....actually when I read the news this morning I prayed, when I went to Bible study we prayed as a group, and in church service we all prayed for the victims, their loved ones, AND our enemies, that they can have a changed heart. I didn't just type "sending prayers" on a social media site, I actually spoke to the living God and creator of everything on their behalf, asking for His Grace to heal. And I ended with some what of a prediction about how it would be covered. Prediction wasn't fair, because it has become so...well, predictable.
