Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Our people are lost for lack of knowledge and the wisdom of our Creator.
Yesterday at a college football game while tailgating ,these guys were playing the most vulgar music I have ever heard across from us, extremely loud. I told my wife that a guy use to be able to go over there and tell them to turn that crap off but nowadays a man will be attacked for speaking out and correcting others children. Can't even tell the truth on this forum w/o getting attacked some days. Sad.

Somehow we need to find the way to start righting them. It's our responsibility as citizens not to just ***** about the problems but to push our legislators to do the right thing.
Trouble is determining what is the right thing . . .

Seems he really wanted to make a get away.
I dont understand why they havent released the shooters name yet. They have released a bunch of names of victims. Why protect the dead criminals ID?

I’m a huge proponent of outdoor ed in school.
Teach responsibility
Teach respect for all living things...including human life
Teach SAFETY...including firearm safety. (We fear that which we do not understand).
Look at NASP...archery is the #2 safest sport you can participate in...why? Safety is continually taught and reinforced, and you’ve got kids 2’ apart on a line with weapons. Teach safety.
I believe this would take a generation to fix but it’s taken a couple to get to this point.
If we ever got unified in this and pushed our schools to teach safety and conservation (like with the Outdoor Adventures program through OTF), we could turn this whole mess around.

Originally posted by Muddy Bud View PostJust saw an update on fox. Putting the shootiers name out there glorifying him as a martyr of some sort would be exactly what the shooter wants. And the press would then direct all their attention on him. Our focus right now needs to be with the victims, their families and the folks of Midland/Odessa. The shooter is a coward POS. And that's all we need to know.

I'm in Odessa, and I shut down my shop early and kept the night shift home yesterday. the mail truck was hijack 6 blocks from my home and happened on the same street that several of our friends live on.
Something we have found very odd here has been the total lack of information, both during and after the incident. In other shootings it's been like they can't get info out fast enough, even if it's wrong. In this case it's been mostly just crickets.

So let's just call names, ignore the fact that these mass shootings are an epidemic and close our eyes and ears to any discussion about how to help control the issue.
Despite dumb asses like Beto it's not about banning guns. But it is about making sure we make getting them out of the hands of the mentally I'll who will use them to do damage to innocent citizens a priority.
Until we honestly fix the mental health side of our healthcare system we don't even have a foundation to start.
