I agree, B_B. The problem isn't the hardware... it's the software.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Gun Laws: Whats the beef?
- Thread starter SmooveMooves
- Start date
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Don't ban guns, ban metal bullets. Rubber bullets are the answer to all America's problems.
Don't need militias. Just need individuals, acting alone, so they dont get ratted out. 100 guys, each doing 100 billion $ worth of damage to the economy, and big Bro won't HAVE any money with which to pay his thugs anymore. Nobody works for free. Especially not if a lot of them are being silently shot for doing so.
for instance one man, in one night, can burn CA off of the map. presto 10% of the nation is homeless, no job and another 10% will have to be spent on saving them. Just like that, boys. 200 or so of the right people being shot, over a month's time span, would reverbrate pretty loud, too.

I'll go out to left field on this one. This isn't my opinion, just something I've thought about.
Anybody ever thought that guns might be a GOOD thing as far as thinning out the population? I mean, how many gangster thugs would be running around if we did NOT have guns? Yeah, they'd still commit crimes via other weapons but they'd probably still live. I think that's the true reason democrats want less guns, because guns are killing their potential voting base. I think the dems are correct that guns make most crimes more lethal, but is that a BAD thing? Yes, some good people get killed in the crossfire, but by and large it's the sh*tball scum of the earth who are out to harm others and commit crimes, that get whacked.
Same thing with abortion. Abortion is killing 33% white, 33% black, 33% other races from the last study I saw. Population of the U.S. is about 65% white, 13% black and 22% other. And I would guess this is the poorest, most single parent ie susceptible to crime portion of the people groups. Is this a terrible thing that potential orphans and fatherless thugs/hors are not growing up and walking the streets?
Now, I do NOT support abortion. Let's keep that straight. I support the family unit, which produces competent adults. I also do NOT support killing people outside of defending yourself. I don't want to see that get twisted. I'm really just trying to show how messed up society has gotten, that rather than defending the family unit, we've turned to these mechanical means to thin out our population while living with our self-imposed sins.

The way I see it .........the POTUS cries while taking away our liberties.The fuk.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
you don't understand that over 2 million times each year, guns in the hands of civilians STOP a crime? of the 25 million per year killed by gun wielders, 60% are suicides. half of the remainder are shot for committing a crime. and half of the remainder are no loss to our society, being dregs. So it's 2 million good, 2000 a loss. 1000x better off with guns. we need everyone to be able to ccw a pistol. the million or so screwups get shot, and everyone left is way better off.
I think that number is crap. I live in a crime-ridden town and don't know anyone who has ever used a gun in "self-defense." Yet gun advocates claim one in one hundred (or so) people use guns every year in self-defense. Miss me with all that! The real number is more like 1,600.
Furthermore you are more likely to suffer an injury during a crime after using a gun in self-defense instead of hiding or calling the police.
http://www.thetrace.org/2015/07/defensive-gun-use-armed-with-reason-hemenway/
The day I see people all over the country stocking up on AED devices (which you are far more likely to use in the course of life than a gun) is the day I believe people are serious about safety.
I know lots of people who have pointed guns at several (or more!) people in their life. Other than cops and one owner of a store in S.W. Philly they all generally went out of their way to find, promote, and start trouble. They may consider their gun uses "defensive" but I imagine the person on the other side of the gun did not. In fact all of them courted trouble in part because of the confidence that their gun gave them. Not a very good thing in my eyes.
I don't want to insinuate you do the same thing by the way but simply to point out that most "defensive gun uses" I'm aware of are hardly such.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Wrong. I just didn't crawl away on my belly from some pos who THOUGHT he was going to assault/intimidate me, and what I did is what everyone SHOULD do. Actually, what they SHOULD do is gutshoot the pos and society ought to give them a medal for doing so. WHY should some assaultive pos get ANYTHING but gutshot, hmm? and why should the legitimate defender do anything else? Why not just no longer HAVE ANY asaultive pos's in our society. Why would anyone stand up for such complete scumbags?
one punk just "thought" he was going to just TAKE a knife I'd shown him. Wrong. Another punk "thought' he could just take my keys. Another one "thought" he was going to lay hands on me over a traffic incident which HE caused. 4 guys "thought" that they were going to thump on 3 of us one night. All very wrong assumptions. all deserved to get gutshot.
Goundra? All signs point to "hell yes."
Anyway, "gun rights" are slowly being chipped away like "smoking rights." I personally love this and know it's the only way for a common sense gun policy to reign. I think the generation coming after me are decidedly anti-gun and will do the important work in doing the right thing.
Not sure what can be done about the millions still around though. Solving that problem will take even longer.

right, an additional 30 states now have "shall issue" CCW permit laws and you "think' you're winning? there's 100 million more guns in the US than there were 20 years ago, and you "think" you're winning? Supremes have held the 2nd amendment to apply to the states and to be an individual right, and you 'think" you;'re winning? Just goes to show how out of touch anti-gunners ARE.
Now that we have the net and youtube, the facts and fun of guns is many times more available to everyone, and Fox News is constantly showing people how fos you liberals are.
Silencers are going to be removed from the NFA 34 list pretty soon. There's half a million of them made in the US every year and a dozen states now allow hunting with a silencer.

I've had some good laughs today, but that one was the best. I didn't realize there were any Fox News viewers on the Internet. You're quite the youngster among their demographic.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
shows how ignorant you are. quite a few of my college kids watch Fox and agree with a lot of Fox's stances. Especially vs illegals. They know that illegals are ruining the kid's futures, along with these stupid wars and inflation.

All three cable-news networks are hemorrhaging young viewers (as are their network-news counterparts) in an era when television is hardly the news medium of choice for Americans raised online and on smartphones. But Fox News is losing younger viewers at an even faster rate than its competitors. With a median viewer age now at 68 according to Nielsen data through mid-January (compared with 60 for MSNBC and CNN, and 62 to 64 for the broadcast networks), Fox is in essence a retirement community.
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-demographics-of-Fox-News-viewers
In a survey released by analyst Steve Sternberg, Fox News has the oldest audience among fully distributed cable networks. The network's average viewer last season was 65 years old, according to Nielsen. Heck, it's viewers are even older than viewers of Hallmark Channel, Military Channel and Golf Channel.

Don't pull a gun on somebody and not use it. That's a good way to end up dead.
