    Changes of hearts, all around.

    So I go to my friend's house tonight to pick her up so we can have dinner at Denny's and I strike up the usual conversation with her parents (talkative bunch, they love me and all that good stuff )

    Here is how the conversation went...

    Dad: Hey Nate, what's the word on the street?
    Me: Well, I hear Obama is going to be trying to ban our guns!
    Mom: You know, I've been looking to buy one lately. I am going to ask my dad if he will sell me one of his.
    Me: No way, you guys finally came around, eh?
    Mom: Well, I haven't talked to my husband about it yet but I am seriously considering it.
    Dad: What do I have, Nate? A shotgun and a .22 semi, right? I should be fine.
    Me: Your single shot is in 16ga... (decent-sized convo about calibers, guns, suggested retail, where to go, etc)

    More and more I am seeing people turning a new leaf and looking to purchase guns.

    This might be a good thing.

    Of course, their daughter still thinks I am a redneck hick with an insecurity issue or some crap like that. I just always tell her what Freud said about emotional retardation and fear of weapons

    Crikey!

    Well are you?

    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
    - Ronald Reagan

          Take her Mom shooting. And, if she's hot, take pictures and post them here!

          Seriously though, this type of interaction is far too rare in today's society.

                Actually this isn't a Freud Quote.

                    The 60 year old receptionist at our office asked me yesterday what the procedure was to buy a handgun here in California. She and her husband discussed it and decided that even though both of them have not owned or shot a gun in over 40 years, they are going to buy a couple of handguns "before they are baned".

                    I gave them the rough procedure and told them where they could get beginner's handgun training, etc.

                    Strange times.

                              Does this mean the majority of the people in this country are suffering from retarded sexual and emotional maturity? I think so because when things don't go their way, they get emotional and throw toddler like temper tantrums?!
