I'm fixin to sell my 3 guns. I was an NRA member back in the day but that sh*t up in Connecticut f*cked me up. I've got two boys that are 3 & 7. I'm done with firearms.

i've never heard of anyone making that decision as a reaction to those shootings... interesting. what specifically led you to this?

Not sure other than causing a self evaluation. I haven't taken my guns out of a locked case since '98. I have nothing against gun ownership. Some of these automatic weapons are a bit extreme. I just have no use for them any longer.

Sweet. Finally got a firearm in my home as well.

Glad I got what I did when I did.

Bring an 870 home later in the year. Its older so I want to recondition the stock, add an extension to the mag and shave the barrel down to 18.5.

Got the same gun for christmas love it! only thing I didnt like was it only came with one mag and I had to pay 50 for another mag.

down the road or what?

my daughter is due in six months so these are the sorts of things i'm starting to ponder now

I've been wanting to get rid of them since my first son was born. I don't use them anymore. I have no interest in teaching my boys to use them. When they get older and friends come over, I don't want them finding a gun collection and then getting curious. Those kids that got killed by that psychopath were my boys age. I can't explain it, I just started thinking about getting the firearms out of my house when that massacre happened. It's a pretty irrational thought to have but I can't shake it.

You know automatics are illegal, right?

      ESPN's Barnwell Early Offseason Grades

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers

      How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.

      I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
