I guess we all need to have guns in the background of our homes for all Zoom occasions.

[Evolve Dammit]

Seems many repukes now consider this normal and somehow ego-enhancing, appealing to the millions of seditionists. I hope Garland does a full sweep after confirmation. We got a problem, and not just Houston.

1. I'm sad that I no longer have my johnny 7 oma

n/t

[rsdsharp]

6. Here ya go.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. I would have been all over that....when I was 8-10. Seriously.

[rsdsharp]

15. I didn't have one. I did have a Defender Dan.

Because every ten year old need a .50 machine gun.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Where was I?? None of my coolest of buddies had one. Never saw one until now.

[JanMichael]

26. Agreed. I don't recall ever seeing anything like those (born 1968).

Of course had access to a pump pellet gun from the 20' or 30's when I was 8 or 9 that had a brass pump handle and was like a sniper pistol. That thing was cool as hell. Looked kind of like this:



That and a .22 when I was 12.

But not tactical looking toy guns.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. That would be highly coveted as a youngster. We knew to be safe or we'd get our ass kicked. Right?

[JanMichael]

40. Only let one friend use it. It was totally out of the norm in the suburbs.

If I had ever truly misused it I would have literally rue (or rued?) the day.

It was beautiful piece of pump pistol history.

[rsdsharp]

28. Well, it was the age of westerns on TV.

Maybe you were a Fanner 50 kind of guy.

[Evolve Dammit]

31. I had a Fanner 50! Loved it. Had a great musket cap gun too. Real wood and steel. We had fun and

knew it was for fun. NOBODY thought about shooting anybody with a real gun. Although I do recall a few BB gun thugs...
Daniel Boone, the Virginian, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, High Chaparral, Wild, Wild West, Combat, Rat Patrol.. So many more. Am I dating myself??

[rsdsharp]

36. I spent five weeks in the hospital last year.

On their TV system, everyday I watched Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, The Rifleman, and Wagon Train. On Friday and Saturday nights they had Combat, Rat Patrol and 12 O’clock High. It was like reliving my childhood.

I had never known that in the last year of The Rifleman his love interest was Patricia Blair — who played Rebecca Boone on Daniel Boone. One episode that year also costarred Ed Ames — Mingo, although he played a bad guy.

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Rebecca Boone gone wild. Who knew??! Hope you're doing OK now. Ed Ames was a great singer.

[rsdsharp]

44. And he went to Oxford!

[In_The_Wind]

2. Sad.

But then, I don't Zoom.

[Evolve Dammit]

9. These days there are all kinds of platforms to "connect" live. Zoom is just one.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Wow! 72,000! That is impressive. I'm going to be 102 if I make that many! Congrats

[lame54]

3. They don't have books

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

4. Right?

Guns where books should be.

[lunatica]

12. To them we put books where guns should be.

That’s what shelves are for.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. Ha! Probably right.

[IcyPeas]

23. look on the bookshelf behind boebert.... she has 2 copies of Dressed to Kill

there's a couple of books with that title. one is about spiritual warfare. the other is about bras and breast cancer. I wonder which one she has?

Rick Renner's book Dressed To Kill is considered by many to be a true classic on the subject of scriptural warfare. The original version, which sold more than 400,000 copies, is a curriculum staple in Bible schools worldwide.

(from amazon book description)

[Evolve Dammit]

37. And she wanted you to see that. Either way, she is Cookoo for Cocopuffs. Batshit crazy, IMHO.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

48. Well spotted

[Hoyt]

5. I can deal with a nice hunting rifle or musket. But toter handguns and AR15s are like confederate

flags, sign of a rube (with a few exceptions).

[Evolve Dammit]

7. agree. It is an attempt to intimidate, but looks really stupid to me. Also seems weak.

[Hoyt]

10. Agree, those gunz are all about intimidation and appealing to GOPer rubes.

[lunatica]

13. Backgrounds on Zoom are all about the message.

In MAGAT world reading is bad, guns is good.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. It doesn't get much deeper than that, does it? Growing up in Midwest, everyone had guns, but it

for HUNTING and an occasional rodent eating your whatever. This is now a very real problem and not what the framers envisioned when muskets were the state of the art firearm. Kentucky Long rifles were the latest, improved model.

[lunatica]

30. Firearms back then were necessary for survival from starving to death

and back then defending one’s property and family was for real. Especially for those who moved West.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. exactly. Times have changed dramatically and most of the weaponry is largely optional. Unless

you want to take out the "government" which is where this is headed by a good number (sadly). And NO, they are not "patriots." They are seditionists and traitors.

[Midnight Writer]

17. I remember when we had guns for self defense and we kept them hidden out of sight.

That way we wouldn't attract thieves and would not tip off bad people where our weapons are kept.

Nowadays, freaks are Look At Me! Look At Me! I'm armed and dangerous!

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Right? It is some dark pop culture status symbol I suppose, but AR's etc. should not be legal. Beto

was right.

[msongs]

18. one never knows when your 2 yr old child will want to kill somebody nt

[Evolve Dammit]

27. And it should be their right to arm bears Dad Gum It. @%&! I meant bear arms (roll up sleeves)

[Hortensis]

20. :) Books or guns? I missed whatever started this, but

it makes sense enough for those currently frustrated by limited audiences for their open carry.

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Never know when you'll have to shoot your pastor or guy in front of you asking you to put on a mask

[Hortensis]

34. Praise Jesus and pack lead.

[Evolve Dammit]

38. What the hell is that??? Saw something similar on a Romulan ship in the Next Generation???

[Hortensis]

39. Lol. Another picture was of a man packing a bazooka while

waiting for a barista to serve his coffee. I liked this one for what might well be a selfie.

[Evolve Dammit]

45. I like my coffee hot dammit! (Bazooka blast). Good God

[bottomofthehill]

22. Someone with better technical skills than I

Has to put up the dildo background.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Thanks for the laugh. That was good!

[bottomofthehill]

29. This crew nearly killed me of laughter.

32. A civic minded, inclusive group. Much safer than being with the "general population." Thx.

[jmbar2]

41. My choice

[Evolve Dammit]

46. Much better! That looks like a pro decorating package.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

49. Hahahahaha...nice...I'll take a couple of slugs from you

[krispos42]

42. Start putting up zoom backgrounds of that scene in The Matrix

When Neo is arming up to rescue Morphious.

If you can't shame them, mock them.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. Perfect!
