My girlfriend sent me this article, knowing I would roll my eyes at the anti-gun part. It's how to spot "psychopaths" in your daily life. This former FBI profiler gives her list of things that should make you pause. Here's one...
Know how your mind works! Profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole lists five common ways you undermine your perception of people:
NORMALIZING: finding an explanation for risky behaviors. Example: Your daughter’s boyfriend complains angrily about his job and has been practicing at a shooting range. You tell yourself he’s just letting off steam.
Read the whole thing. Some good points, but mostly alarmist bullshit. Basically, it's typical women's magazine-level psychobabble.
There was a time when a profiler could tell you if you were looking for a suspect who was left handed, was a plumber for his day job, smoked, his favorite color was Orange, and how he voted in the last election. By the time Malvo and Muhammed were doing their thing, these skills had largely perished and the best they could come up with was "angry white guy." They really haven't impressed me since.
Once again, this is no surprise - especially since they've been indoctrinating their personnel for years now (and likely DECADES) that only LEOs have any right or need or use for have firearms. After all, "anyone can simply go to the store and pick-up their meat instead of having to hunt and kill it, so what's the point of hunting other than killing things???" This is likely the thinking behind the current (and probably previous) administrations. Both of which are looking at RKBA as being linked to "sporting use and/or hunting" - never mind it's not supposed to be infringed in the FIRST PLACE - AT ALL!!!
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
