Gun Laws

I have been seeing all kinds of post across the internet trying to make fun of the idea of banning guns. Instead of explaining these goofy post, I'll simply show you one.


This one comes to us from Freedom Daily with Brian Kolfage with the caption. "Common sense, isn't so common these days."

Let's take a moment here and think this through logically for just a moment. Currently in many (if not all) states the two masked gunmen in this image are not breaking any laws. Even if that was an elementary school property they are not breaking any laws. Therefore, if the cops show up all they could do is ask to see the registration for the guns and the open carry permits. Assuming both of these upstanding citizens can provide the documentation the cops would have to let them go. The cops cannot do anything until they shoot someone. Even at that point they could not be charged until evidence was provided it was not in self defence. How much common sense does it take to realise this is not a good idea? Sadly, the caption is right common sense does not seem to be that common. This lack of common sense is one reason we have right wing nut jobs walking around with assault rifles into restaurants, school property, and even airports.

I don't mind people owning guns. I'm not saying we should take away anyone's guns. I'm saying stop carrying them around. Leave them at home unless you are hunting. Then leave it in the trunk, unloaded, until you get to the hunting grounds. Want to go to the shooting range. Fine, leave the gun in the trunk unloaded until you get there. Let's make it illegal to carry a gun around town. That way, cop sees gun, not at shooting range or hunting grounds, cop arrest bad guy. Cop just saved lives of everyone who was about to get killed. See someone walking around with a gun, not at shooting range or hunting grounds, call the police. Cops arrest the dumbass and once again lives are saved. Once this is the case, someone looks like they do in the above cartoon, they get arrested, no question as to if it's legal or not. Over all, this makes the cops jobs easier, allows the cops to be safer, and makes all of us safer in the process.

Then again, I'm just a guy named rug. Why would you listen to me? It's just what I think.

Gender and Restrooms

Image
What does it matter what restroom people use? Do you have separate bathrooms in your house for males and females?  Does a female using the toilet after a male or vice versa cause some kind of harm to them? From: openclipart.org Obviously, the answer is there is no harm. People share bathrooms all the time in their houses. Thus it doesn't really matter. There has been a lot of commotion about trans people using restrooms that conform to their gender identity. Many states have even made laws to prevent such things. My simple response to these dumbasses is, "Get over it." However, I should probably explain. I have heard a few dads talk about how they don't want their daughters to use the bathroom with a man in there. Well, they are not. Even if an trans female (often snidely referred to as a male) is using that restroom they have separate stalls. Going the other way, a trans male using the mens room is probably using the stall because gender reassignment surger...

Why Open Source?

When I tell people I'm an Open Source enthusiast I get the same basic questions every time. This past week I went through this with someone and thought, hey that would be a good blog post. Since, I have already done one post on Linux and Android . The following is nothing more then the questions I always get and my answers to them. What is Open Source? Anyone that is from the US or familiar with our laws should be able to understand this by equating Open Source with the 1st Amendment. Let me clarify. The First Amendment is what gives US citizens freedom of speech. Open Source software is freedom to use and modify with no charge or penalties. Without infringing on patents or any other intellectual property rights. Let me use Linux as an example. Linus Torvalds wanted a version of UNIX for his home computer. Since he didn't have the money at the time he made his own using none of the original code in UNIX. Shared it free of charge to some people on the Internet basically with...

Minimum Wage

I grew up very poor. There were times when we had to choose between electricity and food, of course we chose food every time. Sometimes there wasn't even enough for the choice. I've worked some very low end jobs back in the day. Most of them were normal jobs you would think that someone with no education would get or someone still in school. Jobs like fast food, dinners, grocery stores, car washes, lawn care, farm work, and even had a paper route when I was very young. Since then I've gotten a Bachelors degree and a real career. I've worked from the bottom up and everywhere in between. I tell you this so you can see I'm not just some over paid jerk trying to make life hard for people that don't make a lot of money. I can remember back when minimum wage was $3 and some odd change per hour. Since then, where I live, it's almost $9. I have seen gas go from $1 something to about $4 per gallon on average. The price of everything has went up accordingly as well....
