Sometimes love can come from unexpected places, but if you find someone you can give your heart to, and they welcome it with open arms and give you theirs in return, you'll dance together through life's ups and downs. Just a note, I do not own the picture, I downloaded it off of Google images, I just needed a background to match my story.
Would Actually Pay To Be There To See This
Then they'll pull it back up AGAIN and lower them in because the first way was right.

Iâm excellent programmer, went from intern to team lead in 3 months - fail every interview due to anxiety
My main character: he can't die. Not forever. Forever immortal, yet not invincible. He can feel pain, and die, but when he does die, he wakes up in a different universe.
Hero vs. Anti-hero
No. Why are there boundaries? Your writing it's unique, and there are no rules. Stop restricting yourself to the "norm" when there is none. Deadpool for example, isn't exactly a hero, but he is fighting against the villain, and he does save the woman he loves. Logan/wolverine, he's a hero, yet he smokes, drinks, is vulgar and most of the time just gives zero fucks. Stop restricting your writing, write what you want, the way you want.

Just when you think the US has hit rock bottom two bald eagles are stuck in a darin.
Well actually only one was stuck, the other one was protecting it.
Already halfway through nanowrimo, and I'm only at 6,000 words. I could make excuses but the fact of the matter is I'm way behind where I should be. I don't know if I'll be able to catch up, but I got a long weekend coming up. So it's time to grind. Wish me luck.

Today an old man came into the restaurant wearing an NRA hat and I thought âman, Iâm so glad that that generation is going to die off here coming up so that people can stop being murdered in a broad scale.â
Except gun violence as a whole is down, and has been going down for the past 20+ years. What do you mean when you say ââŠpeople can stop being murdered in a broad scale?â Unless youâre referring to gang violence, then I do not understand what you mean by the NRA.
Mass shootings using semi automatics.
Well funny that you mention semi-automatic firearms because Iâve actually experienced a mass shooting, do you know what weapon caused the most destruction during that? It wasnât any semi-automatic firearm, but rather a pump action shotgun. Do you know what a bigger killer during mass shootings is? Â Itâs no firearm, itâs actually the gun free zone sign. Please tell me what you think is the bigger problem here. Lastly, you have not answered either of my previous questions.Â
Get out. You donât even follow me. This post was not made so you could start arguing against it, it was made because I take a different stance than you and it wasnât made for you to see since you donât even follow me. I donât have all these sources ready to slam you with because I donât spend all my time obsessing over guns and looking for arguements with people. But i know that gun control works because just look at Australia. Leave me and my post the fuck alone now please.
Except that it has not worked in Australia one bit.Â
[this segment brought to you by lee-enfeel]
People die Australia as a result of firearms violence at almost the same rate they did prior to the firearms act, and some sources state that more than a quarter million illicit firearms exist in Australia currently.
The total firearms death rate in 1995 - the year before the massacre and the laws introduced - was 2.6 per 100,000 people. The total firearms murder rate that year was 0.3/100,000. From 1980-1995, Australian firearms deaths dropped from 4.9/100,000-2.6/100,000 without the implementation of firearms laws. This is a rate of decline that has remained fairly constant; Looking at 1996-2014, in which the rate has dropped from 2.6-0.86, it shows that the decline has been slower in a longer period of time since the lawâs passing. Likewise, homicides declined more quickly in the 15 years prior to the firearms laws (0.8-0.3) than in the 18 years since it (0.3-0.1). This just indicates that firearms deaths havenât been noticeably affected by the legislation youâve claimed has done so much to decrease gun crime.
It should also be noted that around the same time, New Zealand experienced a similar mass shooting, but did not change their existing firearms laws, which remain fairly lax; even more so than some American states like California, New York, or Connecticut. Despite this, their firearms crime rate has declined fairly steadily as well, and they havenât experienced a mass shooting since.
The âAustralia banned guns and now theyâre fineâargument is really old and really poorly put together. Gun control is little more than a pink band-aid on the sucking chest wound that is Americaâs social and economic problems. Itâs a âquick fixâ issue used by politicians to skirt around solving the roots of the violence problem in the United States, which are primarily poverty, lack of opportunities, and lack of education.
You could ban guns tomorrow nationwide and gun violence and overall violent crime would not be reduced at all.
[this segment brought to you by cerebralzero]
In 2005 the head of the New South Wales Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, Don Weatherburn,[37] noted that the level of legal gun ownership in NSW increased in recent years, and that the 1996 legislation had had little to no effect on violence
In 2006, the lack of a measurable effect from the 1996 firearms legislation was reported in the British Journal of Criminology. Using ARIMA analysis, Dr Jeanine Baker and Dr Samara McPhedran found no evidence for an impact of the laws on homicide.[40]
A study coauthored by Simon Chapman found declines in firearmârelated deaths before the law reformsaccelerated after the reforms for total firearm deaths (p=0.04), firearm suicides (p=0.007) and firearm homicides (p=0.15), but not for the smallest category of unintentional firearm deaths, which increased.[43]
Subsequently, a study by McPhedran and Baker compared the incidence of mass shootings in Australia and New Zealand. Data were standardized to a rate per 100,000 people, to control for differences in population size between the countries and mass shootings before and after 1996/1997 were compared between countries. That study found that in the period 1980â1996, both countries experienced mass shootings. The rate did not differ significantly between countries. Since 1996-1997, neither country has experienced a mass shooting event despite the continued availability of semi-automatic long arms in New Zealand. The authors conclude that âthe hypothesis that Australiaâs prohibition of certain types of firearms explains the absence of mass shootings in that country since 1996 does not appear to be supported⊠if civilian access to certain types of firearms explained the occurrence of mass shootings in Australia (and conversely, if prohibiting such firearms explains the absence of mass shootings), then New Zealand (a country that still allows the ownership of such firearms) would have continued to experience mass shooting events.â[44]
HONESTLY I DONâT CARE. LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
Very good, when faced with facts that challenge your beliefs the best thing to do is to ignore it. This is the logical way of thinking. Â
I TOLD YOU I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR A GODDAMN DEBATE WITH YOU AND YOU CONTINUE TO BARADE ME WITH FACTS THAT IâM CLEARLY NOT PREPARED TO ARGUE AGAINST. IâM NOT EVEN TRYING TO ARGUE WITH YOU, YOU CUNT. BUT FINE, YOUâRE RIGHT. YOUâRE FUCKING RIGHT! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANA HEAR? YOU ARE RIGHT. YOUâRE CLEARLY THE WISER SMARTER INDIVIDUAL. THEYâLL HOLD YOUR NAME IN HIGH ESTEEM FOR CENTURIES BECAUSE YOU TRIUMPHED! YOU WON THE DEBATE! YOU DID IT! GREAT JOB BUDDY! GOOD ON YA PAL! NICE GOING MATE! HAS THE PARADE STARTED YET?! HAVENâT THEY COME TO LIFT YOU UP ON YOUR THRONE MADE OF GOLD AND CARRIED YOU OFF INTO THE SUNSET CHANTING YOUR NAME AND WORSHIPING YOU LIKE A GOD?! WELL I HOPE THEY GET THERE SOON BECAUSE GODDAMMIT YOU WON A DEBATE AGAINST A PERSON WHO DIDNâT WANT A DEBATE AND WHO CONTINUED TO ASK YOU TO STOP WITH EVERY RESPONSE YOU GAVE! MURICA HAS ANOTHER HERO! HERE TO SAVE US ALL! MAYBE TRUMP WILL ASK YOU TO BE HIS VICE PRESIDENT! WHEN HE ASKS HEâLL SAY âI CHOSE THIS PERSON AS MY VP BECAUSE THEY WON THE DEBATE AGAINST AN 18 YEAR OLD WITH MINIMAL LIFE EXPERIENCE, NO SOURCES TO COUNTER WITH, AND WHO NEVER WANTED TO HEAR YOUR OPINION IN THE FIRST PLACE!â AND THE CROWD WILL CHEER AND THEYâLL ALL BOW DOWN TO WORSHIP YOU SOME MORE. BECAUSE YOU WON. Now please leave me alone
Whenever someone asks why I think liberals and anti-gunners are fucking children that donât understand anything they say, Iâll show them this post.

Happy Birthday Marines!
Could someone please explain to me why any ordinary citizen would need to purchase any one of these guns?
These weapons are designed to be light, customizable, easy to use, and in many cases, ambidextrous.
The projectile in most of those weapons is the 5.56 mm NATO round, based on the .223 Remington hunting round. It is inexpensive and useful for hunting a wide variety of game animals, from rabbits to woodchucks to gophers to deer to coyote and fox and even small to medium sized boar.
The weapons are designed to be easy to use and easy to strip and clean and maintain.
I am a left handed shot. The vast majority of these weapons are easily used by left handed people without modification, or with some slight and inexpensive additions to the weapon. Bolt action rifles and many other weapons have to be manufactured explicitly in left handed versions and those versions are quite often difficult or impossible to find.
The light weight and ease of use mean that older people and elderly people can use these rifles with ease where they might not be able to manipulate a bolt or other mechanism with reliability. My left wrist has nerve damage and I have a difficult time working my sonâs left handed bolt action hunting rifle.
I know a pastor who lives down the street from my son. He keeps cattle on his farm. He has used his AR15 to shoot coyote that were harassing his calves. He has arthritis and would have a hard time using a heavier weapon or one that wasnât as well designed.
I have used my rifle (similar in design to the ones in the picture) for hunting and for killing a sick coyote that was trying to chew its way through the screen door of one of my sonâs neighbors. The weapons are easy to use and designed to be durable and accurate.
My mother is four feet eleven inches tall. She simply cannot hold a regular pump shotgun or bolt action hunting rifle and use it with any competence. She can use my sonâs AR and manipulate it in all necessary ways in spite of her size and comparative weakness at the age of 73.
There are many logical reasons for people to own a âModern Sporting Rifleâ.
There are no valid reasons for someone like you to tell me or my son or my daughter or my mother that we cannot purchase or own a rifle that you know nothing about because of reasons you cannot articulate other than fear. No one in this country is beholden to your unreasoning fears of inanimate objects.

The above link has 629 PAGES of documented events where an armed United States citizen stopped an armed criminal from hurting or killing someone. Six hundred twenty nine PAGES of evidence for why you should take stock of your life and figure out if you want to be one of the people forever cringing in fear or one of the people who is ready and capable of handling any situation that might arise.
Your fears are things that are entirely real to you. You should seek counseling if they start to infringe upon your quality of life. Your fears will not be allowed to infringe upon my Constitutional Rights.
Every gun blog should reblog this amazing rebuttal.
Damn
Always reblog.
Couldnât say it better myself
Impressive more anti gun people should read that because itâs very hard to argue such true non violent points
