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

Odd Things About The Bible

I've read the bible many times and recently I've been thinking a lot about some of the things found in the bible, what religious people find deplorable, and how many of the things they hate are in the bible. Here are a few examples based solely on word definitions and characters and their actions in the bible. Bastard - a person born of parents not married to each other. Is it just me or does this describe Jesus? Adultery - voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse. This may or may not describe God and Mary. While the bible never says if God and Mary had sex, she did get pregnant by God and I only know of one way that is possible. There is also the conflicting passages saying she was married to Joseph and wasn't married yet in a different book of the new testament. Sinner - a person who transgresses against divine law by committing an immoral act or acts. I find this one to be the oddest. One of God's laws is

Atheism - The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Disclaimer: I have chosen my words carefully on this topic and I would appreciate you doing the same. Preaching and/or derogatory comments about me or anyone else will not be accepted. The Overview: There are many misconceptions about atheism and what it means to be an atheist. I thought it would be a good idea to clear these things up right from the start. First, atheism is not a religion. This can be proven by simply looking up the definitions of the words. Atheism has nothing to do with science, politics, or any worldview (if that term even means anything). Atheism is only a stance on one subject, the belief in a god or any god. That's it. Just the one thing. Does that surprise you? Atheism does not have any special book or godma. There is no other beliefs that is necessary to be an atheist besides the rejection of the god claim. Therefore, nothing can be done in the name of atheism. Not the good things people do like donating to charity or leading a country to prosperity.
