Wonderful guy, but heartily drank the MAGA kool-aid. Him - and his friends.

Used to forward me "those" emails we all got, generated by the Reich-wing nutbags. Or Russians. He and everyone of his friends (all of whom live in WEALTHY suburbia) went out and bought Glocks or similar to "protect their shit!" And brag they had all the guns, and libs like me, didn't. I took it as a threat.

One day I got pissed. I replied back that I'd bet that of every one of his fucking friends (and him), I was the only one to serve in the military (1st Infantry Div.), and had fired and qualified on more military shit than him and all of his friends - combined; that I was qualified on the Army's main battle tank and every weapon on it! I even fired a guided missile! And not just those Armor weapons, but most of the weapons carried by infantrymen.

And I wasn't the only one, you fucker!

Final: I don't have or want a gun. But just to piss him off I applied for a Concealed Carry permit!
