I agree with most of what you say. I'm all for expanded background checks, I am all for intense training before you are allowed to own a gun. I also agree with you on this, the government is not coming for our guns. It isn't happening, its not going to happen. Zealots have it in their heads that is going to happen. It's not so grow the fuck up. Our government has its heads in its asses (Dems, GOP) and its not this lead by a communist socialist regime either. Its just plain broke because no one wants to compromise on shit. The party lines are so set in stone that no one wants to talk to each other. It's sad, really really sad.

The big 57! Have a good one Kevin.

I highly doubt all those gang bangers and gang related killing in Chicago were done by guns legitimately bought in gun shop in Chicago. "The real criminals are the merchants of death." You mean people? Whether you like guns or not Jamie, the point is the people will ALWAYS be the common denominator. He wasn't allowed to have that gun on post. That was the law. Yet he ignored it. So making more laws will work? Or will the next one ignore that one too? People need to be fixed. You can't legislate problems away, because a criminal or a nut job isn't going to follow the laws anyway.

Mmmmmm Beer.....

Sheila takes good care of me.

Gun control isnt going to fix shit. Chicago is proof of that. How about better help for people so they do not reach that point. Or at least make it so they aren't allowed to get a gun. A few weeks ago armed thugs with knives attacked people at a rail station in China, look that body count. No guns used. People are the problem. Car's kill more people than guns, ban those. The fork that obese people used to shove too much food in their mouths until it kills them should be banned too. So what, he bought it legally, he passed a background check. Lets ban the dealership down the road that sold the car to the person down the block of me who hit and killed a child the other day with his new car.

He used a personal firearm. Which he wasn't aloud to have on base. You cant check every person coming on base, it would take hours and the duty day would be over. They don't get their military weapons unless its training in the US. So they are taken away. Also why don't Swiss or Finnish armies don't have that problem? They haven't been to war in the 21st Century. I'll say it again HE killed those people. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. My .45 is sitting locked in my case, its hasn't attacked anyone yet. We need better mental health and a better way to be able to keep people with issues like his to not be able to purchase even a BB gun.

And over a personnel dispute too. Dumb dumb dumb...

That is what I have been doing too. I took good care of my kids and any of the other grandkids who comes. I also cooked for everyone too.

The funeral is Friday. Sheila, her brother and her brothers G/F got into it bad. He's trying to take charge of everything and he wasn't there for my father in law for shit. He even accused him of faking at one time. I was told by Sheila not to come up there because of my....lack of sunny disposition.

That was awesome, he gets to do what I have always dreamed of doing.

Keep fighting my friend.

Thanks you all very much. You know I am kind of relived he is gone, because he is no longer suffering. You all know we never got to the treatment stage of the cancer? He had the surgeries but then got infection after infection after infection. He was always too sick to move forward because of the infections. Makes me wonder if the he had not gotten the infections would they have been able to stop the cancer from spreading? He lived with us for almost a year fighting this. We became close. Watching the Tigers won't be the same this year.

TSgt Donald Fulton my father in law has lost his battle with brain cancer and has left the earth for a much better place. RIP sir.

Thank you all very much from the bottom of my heart.
