You guys need to do a lot less shooting and a whole lot more observing. And that means looking thru scopes and that's telescopes and NOT riflescopes(Greg).  For instance, last night I was up at Mt Pinos observing with Don Pensack whom I see up there from time to time. Great night with good views. Don's a nice guy, visit his website:

Before golfing, Trump was, of course, tweeting. As we know, he tweets a lot. He's an indiscriminate tweeter. So much so that he took a picture of a classified explosion on an Iranian launch pad with his cell phone and attached it to his tweet.Then he went golfing...

Rich,
Find out who that guy in the church is that you distinctly remember. 
Maybe we should have him on retainer...

Get rid of the AR-15s and the hi-capacity magazines. Universal background checks for all. And not the BS from Rich...

Thank you Walmart for banning all handgun ammo today from its stores across the country. Additionally, persons with guns on their persons are also banned from Walmart so armed customers in Texas take notice...

Dick's sporting goods got rid of their guns not too long ago and I'm glad to see Walmart going on the same path.
I saw a CNN special the other night on gun laws in other countries and one other country has a gun per capita type of population similar to that in the US with very little, if any, problems. Switzerland engrains its population in gun rules and regs and proper training from youth onward. Part of it has to do with compulsory military service because the country maintains a citizen militia and because sharpshooting in a national pastime. They go absolutely apeshit over there with target-shooting competitition.
They start in at about age 7 and well into 70 and beyond. They got some real shooters over there. I suspect they don't have all the nuts we have over here, either...
