I’m building a wall.

They also have an absence of a Second Amendment. Gun ownership there is a privilege, not a right. One massacre in Tasmania caused all semiautomatic rifles and shotguns, along with all pump- action shotguns, to be banned in Australia. Same thing happened in the UK and most recently, in New Zealand.They do still get contemporary Norincos and can also posses sawed off shotguns.
I will firmly agree with you there. I’m only jealous I can’t have that sawed off trench gun. Oh, but wait......?They also have an absence of a Second Amendment.

I do dry fitted fieldstone walls. There’s a bit involved with maintaining longevity. It is very rewarding not to use concrete. Height is heavily proportional to pressure behind the wall. Since my job is low height I’m not concerned with much soil pressure and there is also many tree roots to hold the hillside. I collected all that fieldstone in the pictures from a resident who was giving it away for free. That took me about 12 rental truckloads to get it all moved!If you're good at that and want a side job fixing a wall made out of those kind of rocks let me know. Mine partially collapsed (about 8 out of 30something feet) in my backyard and I have no friggan idea why. I think it was damaged years ago and water/frost heaves or something pushed it over and it just spilled into a clump in my yard, lmao...

This is where you're off the mark
Government have been dealing with infections
But to date they've been limited to quarantining the sick
News flash....the brits lost the war here in the colonies
We can continue down thiis road the way we usually do and I present a pile of facts and you wring your hands and get your feels hurt ......
Here's the NYC response to 1918
The 1918 Influenza Epidemic in New York City: A Review of the Public Health Response
New York City approached the 1918 influenza epidemic by making use of its existing robust public health infrastructure. Health officials worked to prevent the spread of contagion by distancing healthy New Yorkers from those infected, increasing disease ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
City didnt shut down
Schools didnt shut down
We could go on and on.....but please....if you're going to try to cherry pick....read the whole thing first.
I’m an introvert, and I still have my job, so I’m probably not the best person to ask these questions, but I will anyway. There’s a very long thread in here about how people are staying safe with gloves and masks and prepping food etc. , but there is also this push to open things up. So my question is do you want things open and “hope” that shit doesn’t get worse of do you want to keep things shut down and continue the downward trend in infections. If we open things back up, we have an uptick in infections/deaths, we know this because science. Is it you’re looking for a fight or do you think it’s better to just let this thing do the the same thing the Spanish flu did and have a massive resurgence? I urge you all to listen to the cidrap podcasts with Michael Osterholm. He’s a conservative republican, but also a smart epidemiologist. He is the one person I’ve trusted to listen to through this whole thing. He is not beholden to any politician, he has a vast amount of experience in pandemics and he has been right in every prediction he has made.
I don’t think 100% burnout is a reality either, the idea is to keep it contained until a vaccine is available or a viable treatment is available. Opening up small portions would be great, but if you open up one county, call it Sullivan county in NH, but the Manchester area is still shut down because it’s a “hotpspot”, what’s to stop people from Manchester heading into Sullivan county and thus creating an outbreak there? I don’t have answers as to how to make it work and how to keep people from dying while keeping the economy viable, I’m just asking if protesting to “open” everything up is a good idea. Seems to me it’s being portrayed as a conservative agenda to open things up and a liberal thing to keep it shut down. Shouldn’t be a political thing, it should be a scientific thing.The idea that you can achieve 100% burnout with this thing is silly, unless you're going to go "ok mr and mrs america, stay in your house for 14 days, if you don't, we'll blow your
brains out, its for your own good" and then test all 300+ million americans after. Otherwise its just going to spread at some point. Also whats to stop someone else from carrying it back in here from bat juice land and just causing another outbreak?
Staying closed forever and hiding in the basement isn't viable. The pandemic karens are acting like there\s a nuclear fallout cloud outside or something and that just isn't reality. And the whole scared of their own shadow thing is ultimately going to get more people killed. It should be fun when they find dead people marinating in their own juices in their houses because the jerk on TV scared them into not going into a hospital that was "filled with rona". etc. Or people that hung themselves because the lockdown destroyed their career or business in such a way that
they'd never be able to come back from it. Given enough time this will be just like "the war on drugs" etc, where the ham fisted government control efforts have a side effect of killing people
in addition to the ones already being killed by the main problem.
I'm not saying sure open everything back up, but the current situation is absurd. You have states with counties in them with like a handful of cases in them (with no increases in over a week or more) where some guy can't open his shop that like 5 people a day come into. Or that people can't even open businesses that are open to the public, businesses where workers could eaisly
practice social distancing and other safety procedures. But they're still being blocked, because of .gov edict.

What if the vaccine isn't effective? What happens to society when you haven't let people work for another month, much less another year? Opening up portions of the economy ASAP is the way to do it. Let people work at their non-essential job with new safeguards in place. We need a slow burn. No burn is not realistic. You're also not going to see people at sports stadiums or sitting fully packed on the old starting chart at your local restaurant either. Everyone who feels they are high risk is welcome to continue to self isolate. I have a feeling herd immunity will be the answer, not a vaccine.I don’t think 100% burnout is a reality either, the idea is to keep it contained until a vaccine is available or a viable treatment is available.

I thought the expression was " don't shit where you eat"?Wrong town; I only shoot there. I don't shoot where I teach!
... Nevertheless it's starting... the wholesale killing WILL begin. May 1. People have had enough.
"Wholesale killing? ...crucifixion"? By May 1st?. Cmon man, get a grip.I'm going to be very blunt. If this doesn't stop by May 1, hell will break loose. Seriously. The courts will be COMPELLED to deal with it, one way or the other.
If they don't curb it... in days past, I had a .sig here that spoke favorably of crucifixion. That may come to pass.
Expect more of the same.
And suicides.
And ODs.
And treatable stuff going untreated.
And...
A couple week shutdown to assess and respond is one thing. What they're doing now is beyond insanity. The courts need to intervene at this point to declare the major emergency is over, and executive actions null and void.
At least some of the victims were killed when fleeing their homes after he set them on fire. None of this was spur-of-the-moment.

That’s sadistic. I know the thread turned to him possibly having cracked and pressure put on people with the economy shut down leading to other outbursts, but this was in planning for quite some time. I don’t think he acquired a uniform and detailed his Ford to look identical to a RCMP car in the last few weeks. He obviously had some form of accelerant (molotovs?) and a well thought out plan. This happened overnight so those people who’s homes were set on fire had it done late at night/early early morning. You wake up to a fire, get the fam outside only to be ambushed by someone in a police uniform. I don’t think any degree of situational awareness helps in that situation. If you run out of your flaming house to see a police officer 100 out of 100 times you think he’s there to help. That’s some deep seeded psychological fu*kery.

I don't know much about Canadian gun laws. Do different jurisdictions have vastly different schemes like the various US states? Or is it all the same everywhere?
This seems like a case where self defense might have come in handy.... despite the ambush situation.
Edit: The infection is spreading. The only way to contain it is to use the ignore feature.

This seems like a case where self defense might have come in handy.... despite the ambush situation. Also supports the "always be carrying" idea.
