My reference was to Uvalde and Buffalo, but you the point you bring up that no law will stop all gun violence is of course correct.

As has been said before, it is all about change. Humans seem to be programed to want things to remain stable- this can be growth to our cities, changes in culture (note negative comments in several posts about immigration, language etc), or whatever. Except we pick and choose, some of the same...

Here is where all credibility is lost- look up data that you believe will fit you argument, and then on the flip side continue with "without looking at the data" to make your final argument. The Uvalde and Buffalo shootings a lone are 29 deaths caused by 18-21 year olds with rifles. And while...

That hits the nail on the head. As gun owners when we refuse to discuss violence and suicide in any meaningful way, it both turns general public opinion away from us and the 2nd Amendment (hard to generate sympathy for our cause when we don't show it publicly when people die) and leaves...

I have a lot of clients who recent (last few years ) move ins to Utah. California seldom comes up when I ask where they moved from. Colorado is actually very common, a long with the eastern US. My two other veterinarians both moved her shortly before starting to work for me, one from Virginia...

Does parenting play a role in violence and crime? Of course. Can abuse and neglect contribute to mental health issues? Yes. But I do disagree that parenting plays the major role in mental health issues overall. The movie and video game issue is an interesting one. Violence in movies has...

While we all like to blame bad parenting and condemn younger generations as inferior (happens every generation), I think your take on mental health is very out of date, even though your later post tried to back pedal and separate those who are and are not dealing with their mental health...

Honest assessment- comes across (intended or not) as a lot of "not my problem". While I do not pretend to have the solutions, all forms of gun deaths seem to be common enough that we should be looking for answers. Those who choose to stay out of the discussion run the risk of steps being...

I don't disagree with much of anything that you said- which is precisely why gun owners (and the organizations that claim to represent them) need to engage is discussions on gun deaths. I also think we need to more willing than we are to admit there is a real problem of gun deaths in the US...

Dive in and share your thoughts, on both. I am especially interested on why you think gun owners should stay out of the discussions on crime, violence and gun related deaths (of all types.) That is the opposite of what we do as the motorized recreation community.

Hard to decide whether to react with a sad for the passing or a like for the new puppy.

As much as most will deny it, I think the majority here would be far more uncomfortable with an young, armed black or brown young man in West Valley than they are with an old white man in a small town. The challenge this thread poses is what lines do we draw on other's "freedoms"? The...

We are all part of the change- l live in a fast growing community where a lot of people complain about the growth. But most of the complaints come from people who moved there as adults (I have been there little over 20 years), including some who have moved in within the last 2-3 years. I have...

I take some gruff from old cowboy types for where a helmet whenever I am on a horse- not sure why some people are so hesitant to protect their brain.

That is odd, but would actually be very tempting!

Finally dug out a high school era (mid-80s) photo of 1948 Chevy that got me around town.

My son's "white coat" ceremony officially welcoming him into the U of U medical school class of 2026 (and also now able to announce they are expecting my second grandson in December.)

Family reunion at the top of Fairview Canyon (and learned that, supposedly, my great grandfather built the first road up Fairview Canyon.)

Honestly, I actually expected Bullfrog Marina gas prices to be worse than they were this year. Always an expensive place to buy fuel.
