Jared Jeffries owns nearly 75 guns

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

I like his mindset about it, if more people were responsible with their guns like he is, a lot of crap could be prevented.
 
He also likes country music unironically. :MARIS61:
Good, I am getting tired of our current batch of 20somethings only liking things ironically. I hope they instead just start liking things sarcastically, which will be more entertaining.

The funny part is, you start out liking something ironically (e.g., you start a traditional heavy metal revival band), but pretty soon, you either stop making the joke (break up), or start liking it unironically (keep making albums that actually stop being parody and start actually rocking). There's a lot of people out there who now love certain things without irony because it's more fun and less effort than liking something *and* pretending to only kind of like it ironically. The shift from hipster to geek.

I think that's the way bromo's come out of the closet too. Not joking.

I can see it. Ironically liking something is just a way of liking something while keeping an emotional distance... like training wheels to protect against ridicule until you're confident enough not to need irony anymore. This use of irony is what separates hipsters from geeks, where geeks can't or won't use irony as a tool to protect themselves from ridicule; their enthusiasm is full-bore and is the reason they're ridiculed.

Though, and this might be a ray of hope, geek culture "coming out" lately might actually mark the beginning of post-irony. Geek-like enthusiasm is spreading and is becoming slightly more acceptable socially, which I think is a good thing.

Yep will gun control really do that much good? A lot of people already own multiple amount of guns. People are still going to be able to get there hands on them if they really want to.:MARIS61:

Taking guns away won't solve shit. I would like to have more emphasis on safety and training courses though.

Like I got a hunting license once and in order to get one; you have to have proper hunter safety training. I like that idea.

That's me and mid-century modern furniture. I used to think it was tacky 1960s kitsch, but have learned to appreciate the sleek retro/modern lines and the high quality compared to today's mass produced crap.

BNM

P.S. Still not gay.

It will make ignorant people feel more secure and it will help politicians secure more voter support.
 
Gun control (unless you start discrimintating against would-be purchasers who have mentally deficient offspring) wouldn't have done shit in the case of the school shootings. But the crazy people in the White House can use this tragedy all they want to push their shit-agenda.

Crazy people will still obtain guns in order to cause mass harm, regardless if ma or pa can get an AK47 from their local dealer.

And I am happy that Jared has a nice collection, that is pretty impressive.

In Oregon you do not have to take any sort of safety training to hunt unless you are under 18. No surprise that nearly all hunting "accidents" are committed by an adult. Both my father and my cousin taught Hunter's Safety Courses for years as volunteers, and I have taken them 3 times since I raised 2 sons. They should be mandatory for anyone who hunts. Gun safety should be taught extensively in elementary schools.

World's slowest workers. But since their "job" can't possibly accomplish anything meaningful or worthwhile, I guess the speed at which they waste time and energy doesn't really matter much.

Maybe they should just have a weapons class.
