The news media wonders why we don't trust a lot of them...

Especially the "big cable" outlets like MSNBC, Faux "news" and TNN (Trump "News" Network,&quot formerly Cable News Network.

And some sacred cows will be in this article...

2. Works just fine for me...

But it's "news" stories that have been mostly blown absolutely out of proportion, or simply are lies.

3. Some here won't like the gun one...

4. I know.

It is factual, though.

And semi-auto guns aren't JUST military weapons.

My brother-in-law goes deer and duck hunting with a semi-auto shotgun, 12 gauge.

When he's duck hunting, he can only have 3 shells in the magazine.

The true deadly semi-autos are semi-auto handguns, like the Glocks carried by many cops, and guns like the "Taurus."

Keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and crazies is a noble goal, but one that is unworkable, since there already are hundreds of millions of guns out there.

And the criminals and crazies will still get their hands on whatever guns they want, to hell with laws.

5. I'd be perfectly OK with greatly restricting semi-auto handguns.

Unlike semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic handguns have no other use but to kill people, yet is seems like people go insane over "military-style" rifles rather than handguns, it's idiocy. IIRC most gun deaths are from handguns, not "assault weapons".

Glocks

many in attendance were strapped, as they took off their sport coats in the heat to reveal their Rigs!

7. That's cool.

Wouldn't be my kind of wedding, but I am cool with folks choosing what they want to do at their ceremony.
