 People like this guy just don’t help gun owners. This sort of thing makes all of us look like loons. 

People who shoot at census workers for trespassing or fathers who leave an AR unsecured under their beds where their children- 12, 10, 7 years and a newborn were sleeping don’t do us any favors, either.  In the case of the father- this jerk had bought a Diamondback DB15 from a friend. The friend had removed the safety from the weapon, and the father had been storing the loaded rifle under his bed without a case, without a trigger lock, and within reach of his kids- and this wasn’t the first time. That careless stupidity cost the life of a 12 year old child. This father deserves to be in jail, with pictures of the dead body of his child taped to the wall outside of his cell, so that he has to look at it every day. 

A person appeared on a friend’s social media was criticizing Trump for calling out “shithole” countries. I responded by saying this:

I would argue that “shithole” countries is an accurate description. I have travelled all over the world, and I can assure you that there are many shitholes. Defecating in the street, homes built out of pallets and scrap.

How would you describe this?

Less than 5 minutes later, I got this reply:

It’s poverty largely due to corporate and political greed. Which can be improved with the proper allocation of resources, public health education etc. You need to do some serious soul searching, stop traveling around the world to places you judge with such ignorance. You haven’t learned a thing. 

So I click on this person’s profile. She graduated from a high school full of rich kids in 2016, then attended college at the University of South Florida from 2016 to 2018, receiving a degree in Health Science. Here is my response:

You graduated from a school paid for by what you call “corporate greed” and have been more of a recipient of the wealth generated from it than 90% of the planet. You don’t know shit about shit.

Don’t try and lecture me about poverty and ignorance, little girl. You haven’t seen or experienced shit yet. The only poverty you have seen has been on television.

Typical spoiled rich kid who thinks that because they have graduated from college they know everything. 

 Heh

 Last month, I posted about a company that sells covert body armor. The name of the company is Bulletproof Everyone, and I saw an ad that they had level IIa body armor for as low as $249. So I ordered one that looks like this:

That was on October 3, and at the time I placed the order, there was a 2 week lead time. That two weeks passed, and the status of my order- “Awaiting Fulfillment” hadn’t changed since the day the order was placed, so I sent them a message. The reply was that demand was heavier than expected, but the order would go out in a week. 

That week passed, still no merchandise and no change in online status. This time I called. They man on the phone told me that my order would be shipping within 2- 5 days. 

That was more than a week ago. Still no merchandise, still no change in order status. 

They have not answered multiple emails or messages left on their site. When I call, I get a recording that says they are moving their operation to a new site, and if I just leave a message, they will return your call within 24 hours. They don’t. When I call from a number that isn’t mine, they will answer but the call disconnects when I give them my order number. 

I am not holding out much hope of getting my merchandise. If I have not heard that my order has shipped within the next ten days, I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company. 

Buyer beware. 

EDITED TO ADD: 

Just after I posted this, I got through to a man who claims to be the owner of the company. I had to call on my wife’s cell phone, which has an area code from an entirely different state than mine. He assured me that my order would be going out Monday. I will keep you posted.
