One year I went up to my brother's place the night before Thanksgiving. The next day we were all gonna drive to his wife's family's Thanksgiving dinner a couple hours away. Then a f#&^ all ice storm came through early Thanksgiving morning. Roads were not usable. So we stayed at my brother's place and had ribeyes and baked potatoes, drank wine/beer, and watched football all day. It was great.

Good on you man. I’m all for teaching responsible firearm use and ownership. I was raised in a house with guns, and I was always taught to be very careful, respectful, and procedural with them. I definitely consider myself left of center politically; but I enjoy shooting as a hobby, and I do it fairly frequently. And I’m thankful to my father for teaching me about responsible firearm use as a child. Among those lessons was not ever threatening or implying a threat to others because of our ownership of those firearms. And I’m glad that you seem to be imparting that same sentiment to your daughter. The Huff thing about implying some sort of armed revolution based on a political situation (maybe, or possibly worse) is just freaking gross to me though. I’m all for people shooting for fun, or hunting, or defending themselves or their homes (if they do so responsibly). I’m just thoroughly grossed out by the tough guy fantasy scenario of defending one’s self from the Bernie Sanders scenario of healthcare for all or something. It’s just a ridiculous escalation to me.

This is some LT level shit right here.

I predict he’ll end up in one of the four major US time zones. I also have a hot scoop on Rich Harden’s throwing program with his son’s little league team.

Can't win them all. At least you now know that I am completely uninterested in doing any research before I spew my superstitious thoughts about questionable pitchers with ties to the far east.

Then why were Bernie Sanders, President Trump, and socialism mentioned?

I'm all for people exercising their 2A rights, but shit like this is just douchey.

I don't see it happening, but it certainly is a sentiment that a lot of people (especially in my area of the country) often express. I think it's mainly BS tough guy talk, but I'm sure there would be a few nutjobs that see "fighting socialism" as their "patriotic duty" or some BS. But yeah, I highly doubt it would ever turn into anything more than that. The fact that people feel comfortable expressing that so openly though is not a great sign, IMO.

I posted it because it’s a sentiment that is not uncommon within the populist right.  I don’t give a fuck about Aubrey Huff specifically. 

This is some LT level shit right here.

Any tweets by Huff talking about guns and socialism right after Trump bailed out the farmers because of some of his tariffs? Or is that different?
 
It really does amaze me how all sides can show such cognitive dissonance. Especially in this age of information and technology. 
 

It would be great if that tweet was only about guns.
