We're not allowed pets as we rent so I always live vicariously through the pets of others. So please keep the pics and videos coming, I can't get enough!<br /><br />As for gun laws, I have absolutely nothing of use to add because I've always lived in places where guns are just not a thing. I've never seen a gun, apart from on police officers maybe a handful of times, and they bloody terrify me. I can't imagine ever wanting to own one. I can't imagine a world where others around me want to own one. So I'm just baffled by everything going on in the US, I want to help but am so ignorant of what's going on. So please keep educating me, it's not a fun thing to learn but is definitely important.

I...My house is a WRECK. It's making me insane. <br />I can't get enough Bruce pictures. I don't care about the quality- keep 'em coming!<br />This gun thing.... holy balls. I come from a VERY pro-gun family. My dad used to hunt, he's always defended the NRA, he has a whole safe full of firearms, and we spend our Labor Day and Memorial Day target shooting. I have a small gun just for self-defense. It's only a .22- I don't want to kill anyone though I'm well aware any gun can be fatal. And I don't have a CC licenses nor do I want one. I have been taught gun safety all my life and I see no need to walk around with one. All of that said, I can't understand WHY THE F*CK GUNS AREN'T MORE REGULATED, RESTRICTED, AND TRACKED. I love that quote by Steinem. First of all, hell NO to automatic weapons, silencers, bump stocks. Even from a hunting perspective, none of that shit is fair to the deer! I don't get it. We are a country obsessed with guns and it's disgusting. My dad has definitely tamed down since the new administration (which he's very against), but his friends are all still whack jobs about their guns. I come from a rural place so I know people with dogs and KIDS named after guns. I just don't freaking get it.

KC doesn't like it (WHAT) so maybe that's why. <br />everything you said about guns? yes. all the yes. every time there is a shooting (every time because this happens way too often!! there have been so many since i moved here, i can't wrap my head around it) i tell anyone who will listen that we had a mass shooting in 1996 and 2 weeks later our gun laws were changed. you can still own guns in australia, but we haven't had a mass shooting since. and now, there is like a picture or something going around the internet talking about our port arthur massacre and how we haven't had any shootings since then. i'm not trying to say our country is better but for pete's freaking sake when the f*ck will this get to the point of enough is enough? because SURELY this is it? surely this is the turning point. for f*cks sake. i keep wanting to talk about it but have nothing new to bring to the table.<br />stirrups - ew. are you kidding me with that paper towel throwing? are you kidding me right now? what a disgrace. <br />i cannot wait to read your post about the Women's Conference. that sounds SO amazing. <br />3rd anniversary of SUYB??? time flies! i can't believe it. well i can, but i love it.

I don't understand this. I grew up in rural Minnesota where there are lots of hunters and lots of farmers who have guns. And by far, they respect their weapons and the privilege of owning them. I don't understand why common sense gun control scares people. It's common sense! How is it common sense that Paddock had better guns than the police AND military? And that guns are a right and healthcare is a privilege. That anyone can own a gun, but I can't decide as a grown ass woman to make decisions about my body? This hypocrisy makes me want to puke. I remember stirrup pants but did not realize they were making a comeback. Nope! I'm so glad Bruce is adjusting well and I love that picture of him with Mae. So cute! It still amazes me that people think Trump is tough when he is so intimidated by brown people (especially those who are successful) and women (especially those who speak up against him). He's truly turned the presidency into a joke and is completely oblivious to it.Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-20598052075942071042017-10-05T11:06:38.569-04:002017-10-05T11:06:38.569-04:00That meme about abortion/gun owner regulations - t...That meme about abortion/gun owner regulations - that's pretty eye opening.<br />I swear, the first time I saw that Trump clip of him tossing paper towels, I literally laughed thinking it was a joke.

And I seriously still do not understand how people who have guns always seem to think that gun control is taking away their guns. It's absurd! Also, last time I checked, in order to hunt you don't need an automatic or semi-auto machine gun. Unless you're hunting humans, in which case, you're insane. GAHHHH this whole thing infuriates me, and I'm tired of thoughts and prayers--I want this to STOP! <br /><br />On a less heavy note, stirrup pants are a biiiiiig no no! And puppy pics are always the best!

We're one of the only countries that consistently has this problem. It should not be this easy to have a gun, and some guns should just not be in the hands of civilians. I'm not really a fan of guns, but you have the right to one, and nobody is taking that away. People just don't want to listen. Any gun control talk and it's all "omg, they want to take my guns away." It's annoying and stupid. And politicians are seriously owned by the NRA - stand up for the people of the country and stop these mass shootings over whatever money you're getting. <br /><br />-Lauren<br />www.shootingstarsmag.netLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173712310551704579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-77031058245329110472017-10-05T09:19:03.058-04:002017-10-05T09:19:03.058-04:00I'm on board with gun legislation because none...I'm on board with gun legislation because none of it is about taking my guns.
