I'm watching the British series Survivors, a two year, 6 episode production about the EOTWAWKI mega virus thing.
Pharmaceuticals get a good well deserved bashing, but the thing I'm struck with is the one firearm one of the "good people" has is constantly under issue, the women folk and even the black dude, Greg being angry that the guy used it to off an enemy.
In America, every last one of them would be cheering him on, asking how can the get a rifle, pistol, hell, even a BB gun.
I read our local free paper, and here's an quarter page ad:

Special Quotes from Steve Jobs-A Great Man
Steve Jobs, CEO and genius has passed away at the early age of 56.
His photo is haunting. Behind those eyes you wonder what he might have accomplished had he lived to a ripe old age.
He leaves a legacy, and no matter what a person thinks of Wall Street Greed at this point in time, his innovations have changed the world. It can be good or bad, depending on what we do with it.
Like guns, its the people behind those tools that make them evil or good. I'm thankful for the good citizens who own firearms to thwart criminals. Self defense if the god given right of every living thing.
Below are some profound statements I read last night, and wanted to share with you.
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005.
"Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." (Reporting by Edwin Chan; Editing by Gary Hill
How to Shoot a Gun
I've decided its about time I to learn how to shoot.
First, I'm told, we'll learn safety, loading, then firing. I will be able to try various firearms.
The instructor has his work cut out for him.
I don't even know how to load a gun, or figure out which type bullet goes in what. I do know to never allow it to be aimed at anything unless I am prepared to fire. Which means assessing first where said bullet might land.
Even though I know its not loaded or even when no one is in the room, or even when I'm outside, I must be aware of potential hit sites if it would go off.
I understand guns are just tools. We must be taught how to use them correctly, with the proper respect. Like a powerful kitchen slicer, much damage can be done in seconds if a person's not paying strict attention.
I'll be reporting and posting photos as these classes and field work unfolds.
