Trump 'danced' on stage at the NRA. After reading the names of the 19 children who were slaughtered.

Yeah I don't get it. Same thing with how rural and working class people see or feel a connection to NY real estate developer. I just don't understand it. People and their emotions are weird. The Republicans can play to their crowd, that's for sure.
Larry the cable guy should run. His fake hick accent to sell them shit would be gold.

You can't get a job in most any state now without background and drug screen.
Or live somewhere..people do shit and once landlord sees 'felony'..? There was a girl begging for a place to live with her and her daughter on our local town app a few weeks back..she got many offers from private citizens (that won't work for me). I think she was looking for another sugar daddy though.
What you do matters because you'll be socially extracted now.
Did I miss something?

dude, do some research before you believe shit about the south...
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/gun-ownership-by-state
southern states are only 4 of the top ten, the people up by the canadian border are the ones with the arsenals...think about that...
as to towns that only have a general store and a gun store...i drive the back roads of Tn., Ga, north and south Carolina, and Kentucky....i
've never seen such a town....they don't open gun stores in small towns, which are usually full of broke ass hillbillies, with no money to buy anything more expensive than food and beer.
your other two questions are valid, though, and i don't have a very good answer...i could explain why they do what they do, but i couldn't offer a workable solution to that problem...how do you make racists not racists? if i had a handy answer to that question, i would have been sharing it a long time ago

they were phenomenally lucky...that is not the way it usually works, which is unfortunate.Luckily it worked in this scenario Wednesday:
Police: Woman with pistol killed man who shot at crowd of people in Charleston
UPDATED: 8:30 a. m. , 5/26/22. Police said a woman who was lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who began shooting at a crowd of people Wednesday night in Charleston. Dennis Butler was killed after allegedly shooting at dozens of people attending a graduation party Wednesday near the...wchstv.com

expansive research out of Stanford University found states that passed right-to-carry (RTC) concealed handgun laws saw between a 13 to 15% increase in violent crimes in the 10 years after. The data spanned stats from the 1970s up until 2014.
“There is not even the slightest hint in the data that RTC laws reduce overall violent crime,” Stanford Law professor John Donohue stated in the paper.
Previous research on this topic came to similar conclusions, though noted not enough data was currently available.
In 2019, KXAN News in Austin worked with the ALERRT Center at Texas State University to compile data on 316 mass shootings in Texas between 2000 and 2019. The data showed that citizens stopped shooters 50 times out of 316 but only 10 of those instances were by using a gun. The other 40 times, the citizen used either their hands or another weapon.
the best way to stop criminals from getting guns is a multiple prong approach, stricter control on weapon sales, no person to person sales, no "constitutional carry" which is a bullshit term to begin with...expanding mental health care, counseling for those at risk of becoming shooters, but the one thing that would help stop this shit more than any other thing? forcing politicians to break ties with the gun industry...do not elect people who speak at NRA events, who are in the pockets of the gun lobby, who value dollars over lives...

this is the best republicans can come up with...the best thing i can say in Walker's defense is i'd rather deal with him than any member of the freedumb caucus...Herchel is just a stupid fucker, they're all educated, which makes them not ignorant and easily manipulated like Hershel, it makes them fucking evil...they DO know better, they just fucking don't give a shit if kids get shot, as long as they can keep their voter base happy

I would think most rural gun ownership would be for the sake of hunting but that’s just feels
. I would be more worried about urban gun ownership for the purpose of protection, given there is probably minimal training/education for that purpose. Again only my feels. My first purchase (worked a whole summer haying) was a pellet rifle and that was at 14. After one year and a lot of training with the old man I was able to purchase (legally) a shotgun. I honestly think a huge starting point for any gun ownership is training that shows a commitment to responsible handling and use.

I understand how they feel a connection to trump. He used racist messaging to pull many out of the closet. Brown people are bad, Muslims are bad, the Chinese, etc... Those feelings were always there it's just that many kept them suppressed. Many still do but they connect with trump because they feel like they share a bond with him having the same thoughts about brown people and other minorities. By supporting trump they can live their racism vicariously through him and not have to actually come out as a racist.
If asked why they support trump they never say it's because he demonizes minorities it's because they like his policies. If you ask them to name one of those policies they can't and if they can it's always building the wall to keep the brown people out.

I guess you just go by red state vs blue state moving forward, because people who vote for republicans support this shit or keeping it the same way, or making it worse. The average GOP political ad looks like a firearms TV ad, the base obviously loves it and they get elected. Gun culture was always the strongest in the south and it was and is a symbol of white supremacy.
I read an article years back about a journalist who toured the south and he described one place he saw and was perhaps making some generalizations, he was more focused on attitudes. However I've noticed gun culture pervades every state in the union these days and America has changed quite a bit in this regard in the past 50 years. Back in the 70's gun ownership rates in Canada and America were similar.
I used to hunt as a young man and we always had firearms in the house, but when dad passed away the weapons were turned over to the police for disposal. People still hunt, but it's popularity has waned, my buddy was a forest ranger and used to give the hunting safety course and he told be back then that every year the number of people applying for hunting licenses was falling. I live on the edge of a small town in a pretty rural place and the popularity of hunting has diminished over the years as more people become urbanized and lose their connection to the land.
