I grew up in south Georgia. Every guy in school had a Buck knife on his belt. Every truck in the parking lot had a rifle and/or a shotgun in the back window.

Somehow, no one ever got shot or stabbed.

Then the automatic guns came and mass shootings began. How do you explain that?

Same here in northern ND. I recall trucks parked at the bar in the cold of winter with engines running, doors unlocked and guns hanging in the back window. Nothing ever stolen.

As a kid I watched the bang bang shoot’em up cowboy shows and was shooting a real gun in my early teens. At 16 I bought my own 22 rifle. I knew not to point a gun at a person or shoot them. Gun safety was some how or another just common sense back then.

The left has turned our culture into a lawless one where on one hand they do everything possible to create a criminal friendly atmosphere and on the other do everything possible to limit self defense.
