Leave it on?

Typical reactionist answer.

A man has got to know his limitations. 
 

My dad had a gun. He was a Bombardier with a 3 mobile Bofers anti aircraft unit. When there were no Luftwaffe left to shoot down he was asked to shoot snipers out of bell towers with high explosive rounds. When the war was over he put away the gung-ho boyish childish things and led a decent life. He was a hero serving in three theatres of war. He taught his 3 kids family values.

l bet my dad could beat your dad.

l have 1 wife, 2 houses, 3 cars* and 4 hard earned pensions and a life and attitude which l would never want to compare with yours: but l did have an air riffle pop gun and a 100cc Yamaha in my youth.

*Obviously l can only drive one at a time

In canada  we need arms only to hunt, not against, but with the Indians. The native Wendat tribe is always here on his territory. I bet it is not the same in the US. We keep arms only for hunting or in case US invade us.

My amplifier is sometimes "on" many days but sometimes "off" ...i use it for my headphones...

My small speakers are active one then off for the night...

• @mahgister “….only to hunt”

A very interesting perspective. I have friends who emigrated to Virgina, Sascathewen who now live among many Ukrainians. Lot of respect there for these people who escaped barbarism during the last century, who had very little, and carved out a future in a difficult terrain that not many wanted to live in. They would l think all agree with you as they lived off the land and the forest, just like they did in Ukraine.

A Question of Balance….
 

At last a voice of reason.

A typo… “Saskatchewan” Canadian Province.

My friend is a plumber (and Red Cross volunteer) who married a Canadian nurse while she was on a years secondment to a hospital in the UK. 
He was a first generation Pole over here as his father escaped from a POW camp and joined the Polish Army in England, then to go back and fight in Italy and Normandy. He settled in England to escape Communism.

It all goes to show what a small world we live in.

Reactionist?

You are assuming to know my attitude. That's quite an assumption. 

My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on you.
