Tell me something good is happening

[Jbondmonroe]

Of course, all I seem to hear is about is how some idiot shot someone or robbed someone at gunpoint. There has to be some good things happening. I get tired of all the negative rap guns are getting just because some bumba** has one. Anyone hearing anything good?

only locally. mainstream media, which is run by our gov. I believe, is not airing anything positive about guns. just their way of pushing their agenda foreward. that's the way I see it anyway.

Do you read your rifleman magazine? There are lots of good stories in there. Often they go bad guy X tried to kill, rape, steal from ect. good guy Y and got shot. There are even some of them that end VERY well, where X can no longer do any of the "bad things" again.

I second that!

The Obamedia is sticking to the party line. For years you could get stabbed, beaten, run over, killed in a stupid hospital mistake or any number of other bizarre causes and it won't make national news, UNLESS a firearm is involved and it isn't a case of self-defense. It isn't a tinfoil hat thing, it really is a conspiracy.

You can confirm this by looking at real data and statistics on causes of death instead of accepting the hand selected anecdotal evidence that guns are all bad, offered by a leftwing controlled media.

Mostly just gun owners are reading it though. It's not out there for everyone to hear about it.

I'm buying a 1940 home that has a root cellar / storm cellar that will make a great gun safe / safe room / reloading room. That's good news for me that I just wanted to share.

It is truly sad that the main stream media just show the bad things people do with guns, instead of all the good things and good memories being created by guns. Maybe we will eventually get to where people recognize all the good done and not just the few bad things done.

Which seems like a good reason for parkerj112 to mention it

Something good is happening....you feel better now?

I get American Hunter. I read the armed citizen in that magazine. Some really good stories in there.

I hope this will qualify.

it all depends on what you are looking at and allowing into your brain. Stop watching main stream media, you know exactly what it is, its lies and garbage, look up local truth tellers. you will see how much better you feel daily and how much happier you are. it sure changes me.

I entered this thread for a "pick me up"...so far I am left with "really, that is the best we can do?!?!?" Where is the good news out there?

Fantasizing about living in the country or finding a house with a root cellar is a nice escape but not in the cards in my future (just frustrating).

Lets hear from the guys that have their ears to the ground regarding:
-anti gun legislation that isn't going anywhere, because (like Scutter01's signature) taking ONLY SOME OF OUR RIGHTS isn't a compromise, it is still taking something that wasn't theirs to take!
-pallets of .22lr at their LGS at prices similar to before the supply dried up.
-people stepping up to say they are pro-gun suggesting the tides are turning and you don't have to stay "in the closet" in society as a gun enthusiast. (Not that I put ANY importance on celebrity endorsements, but it does serve as somewhat of a feeler for what is socially acceptable)
-Local, INGO members, or otherwise regular folks that have stories about winning over their friends, neighbors, or random guy from an internet forum and getting them to open their minds about gun ownership.


I love the concept of this thread and WANT TO HEAR MORE!

I seen a "teaser" story on Fox 59 one morning about 2 guys trying to rob a guy who was packing and shot and killed one of the robbers, the other took off. It was last week but I never seen the whole story.....

Congrats. Question: Do you have any concerns of flooding or humidity (I would be surprised if the concrete has any vapor barrier under it).
