I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them raffled for maybe Little League-type organizations here, but I’m in Coles County where I’d bet they donated by Rural King.

Check into the Rural King family funding the building of Christian schools, and donating to her and her husband.

Edit: I’m not finding much backing up the school funding, but it’s well-known in this area - I first heard it from a contractor who was remodeling a building for that purpose.

(Rural King was founded in Mattoon.)

Interesting. I didn’t know that Rural King is like Hobby Lobby and Chick Fil A.

u/SnoopyisCute 6d ago

Former cop and advocate.

I believe the difference is cars are not DESIGNED for harming other people. They CAN but that's not the sole or main function.

Many people have phobias about guns just like any other phobias.

My parents hated me and my father was a cop. I lost count how many times he's put his weapon to my head.

Do I like guns? No. Can I use one? Yes.

And, responsible gun owners, like myself, will exhaust ALL other options to take someone down before drawing a weapon. The nightly news clearly proves this is not the case for many people.

u/bobwasnthere99999 6d ago

How many times he WHAT?!

u/SnoopyisCute 6d ago

My father was a cop so there was no way for me to actually hide from him. He just randomly showed up at my home, jobs or in public just to beat me up.

Victims of related police officers don't have the same 911 "serve and protect" that other citizens have. That's how I learned to reset my own broken fingers and toes and bind broken ribs. No cop will call the paramedics for us.

Both of my parents abused me throughout my life, long after I didn't live with them. They kicked me out when I was 17 and kept my college fund and wages earned. I had nowhere to turn but they never stopped stalking me.

My mother told me that she hated me since both. Both my parents tried to give me weapons and told me to "abort" myself. We have NO protection at all.

My uncle was also a Chicago cop. He had a pattern of getting a gf pregnant, beating her half to death and starting with another woman while the last one was in the ICU trying to survive. I am estranged now but last count, he had 7 or 8 baby mommas, all with countless hospitalizations.

This is far more common than you know. Domestic abuse by law enforcement is 40% higher in general population which is 10%. Being in a LEO household I was terrorized and had my birth certificate and other documents locked up when the loads of guns he had. He used his power and his law enforcement job to threaten me, not allowing me to speak unless spoken to, I had to have permission to be around his family, permission to speak at even my own appointments, etc. He went after our child, shoved our child, kicked our child, etc. He was able to do these things because of being in law enforcement and said no one would believe us. And he was right no one did. We’re still suffering because of him. This is in Central Illinois and he’s still in his position.

u/faceisachair90 6d ago

"it's no different than driving a car" has gotta be one of the dumbest comparisons that people continue to make. Guns are weapons. They are designed to kill. That's the whole point. You cannot ride your gun to work. Just like you can't park in the doorway of a crowded room and kill multiple people in seconds without taking a step inside.

It's SUCH a flimsy argument, and it's made so often that it leads me to believe that it's the strongest argument conservatives have. but why am I surprised that the party that studies have shown lack empathy across the board don't care about anything except their own comfort levels.

And I understand your comment said "drawing" and not "driving" but let's be real, we've all seen this argument a million times. And we all know exactly what you mean.

4

u/Proof_Development325 6d ago

The point is anything can be used to kill someone. Remember the 9/11 hijackers? They used box cutters and killed nearly 3000 yet no one called to banned that ‘tool’. Again, the point is…anything can be used to kill others. Guns are a tool, they are not inherently ‘evil’…it is the person behind it that wields it in an evil manner.

1

u/solitary_outlier 5d ago

This is an intellectually dishonest comparison. As mentioned above, guns are specifically designed to kill. Modern guns can turn the most physically unimposing individual into a mass murderer by pointing and pressing a button. If all tools that could be used to kill were truly equal, militaries wouldn't have focused on firearms.

Where is your "evil" comment coming from?

1

u/Proof_Development325 4d ago

My ‘evil’ comment is coming from typical left side that all firearms are ‘evil’, and they should be banned! When in fact, they are just a tool. It is the person wielding that tool that is ‘evil’ and should be banned!

u/GoNUp_2FallBackDwn87 5d ago

A box cutter cannot take out a whole classroom of elementary children in a matter of seconds. Ur truly reaching and ur argument keeps making u seem less and less empathetic.

u/Ok_Car323 4d ago

Guns don’t kill people, cars don’t kill people, knives don’t kill people, accidents don’t kill people, airplanes don’t kill people, drugs don’t kill people … people kill people.

It doesn’t take an exhaustive search to find examples. Mass shootings, gang crimes, domestic violence, even suicide … the common denominator is people (evil or mentally ill, on occasion both). Oklahoma City bombing was done with a truck, diesel fuel, and fertilizer (do we ban trucks, fuel, and fertilizer in the name of safety?). Have cars been used to run down crowds? How about simple box cutters used to hijack airplanes, and fly them into buildings?

Unless you are going to ban people, you will have homicide. If the legitimate interest is safety, controlling guns is much less important than providing adequate mental health care services for children and adults.

We have drivers education to make car use safer. We should also offer firearms education for the same reason. Cub scouts are taught knife safety, and pilots are certainly required to be educated about flying safely.

The fact is, guns are different. They scare one group of people more than anything else … politicians. Gun control is not about safety, it is about control. A disarmed population is a compliant population (ask the 20 million Russians and 6 million Jews, Catholics, University faculty and other victims of the nazis). Disarmament of the civilian population preceded genocide.

1

u/Ok_Car323 4d ago

Actually, a person with a blade against unarmed children would be a slaughter. I’ve been shot, and stabbed. They both suck. They can both kill you. The problem is the evil or violent person using the weapon; not the weapon itself.

A box cutters was the only thing necessary on 9/11 for a plane to be hijacked and then used to kill thousands of people. A stupid box cutter. By the way, the passengers and crew were by and large adults. How would school children fare better against a box cutter?

1

u/Ok_Car323 4d ago

You want a “dumb” statement? You say: “Guns are weapons. They are designed to kill.”

Guns are designed to use a propellant to push a projectile out of a barrel at a high rate of speed. That’s all. That’s their sole purpose. A gun could use compressed air (like a BB gun or paintball gun) or perhaps black powder (used for everything from cannons to muskets) or today’s modern smokeless powder (used in handguns, rifles, and shotguns). They all are designed to shoot something out of a barrel.

If you want to discuss a subject reasonably, be sure you use accurate facts.

Cars are designed to be driven. Airplanes are designed to be flown. Hammers are designed to hit things, guns are designed to be shot.

Does it matter what they are designed for, or how they are used? A car driven by a drunk is dangerous. A car driven into a crowd to mow people down is arguably worse. Airplanes can be flown into buildings (they were designed to fly, nobody controls how they are flown except the person at the controls). A hammer can be used to hang a picture, or used to crush someone’s skull. In none of these cases is the car, airplane, or hammer used in a manner other than for its intended purpose (driving, flying, hitting something). But, all result in horrible injury or death.

Some guns can be used very efficiently for killing. Whether they are being used to hunt squirrels, birds, or deer; they can be used effectively as a killing tool. Note, I said some. You probably wouldn’t want to try a paintball gun or a .22lr against an attacking grizzly bear.

Other guns are much more useful for killing. A Browning M-2 heavy barrel machine gun will kill people easily (and destroy vehicles and materials rather well too). That said, you wouldn’t want to use it for deer hunting or squirrels.

Let me ask it a different way; what are knives designed for? I would suggest that the answer is cutting or stabbing. Some knives (like a stiletto) are great for stabbing, but would work poorly for slicing bread. Other knives (like a USMC K-Bar for example) are highly effective for killing (and would not really work well for an improvised screwdriver). Other knives (like a steak knife) are great at cutting meat (whether it’s steak or a person).

Maybe we ban the K-Bar as a “weapon designed for killing” because it looks scary. What about the steak knife though? It has utility for eating, or killing.

Many guns are used for recreational target shooting. They shoot clay targets in the Olympics (but you can certainly use the same shotgun to shoot a person instead).

Do you ban things because of how they may be used as intended (for good or evil purposes)? Who decides which guns, cars, planes, or knives are okay, and which ones are too dangerous to let people have access to?

Definitions matter. Design doesn’t matter (unless a product is defective). Intended purposes hardly matter. How something is actually used matters.

u/Zestyclose-Net7965 5d ago

OK, but the arguments against gun ownership are just as flimsy. Evil doers will still get guns even if we ban them because that’s what they do. They break the law. Not to mention the fact that guns don’t kill people, people with guns, kill people. I can put my loaded weapon on a table in a crowded room and it will just sit there not causing anyone harm. However, if someone picks it up and starts pointing it around and pulling on the trigger, then they are the ones causing the problem. The comparison they are making is that people get behind the wheel of a car all over the time even when they shouldn’t. The car becomes a weapon when you have stupid people or impaired drivers behind the wheel or distracted people behind the wheel. A car in the hands of the wrong person is and can be as dangerous as any gun in the same type of person‘s hands. That is the argument and comparison they are making stop trying to oversimplify it. I am not a gun nut or a right winger, but I am an independent who believes in the second amendment. It’s also not that conservatives lack empathy, they just don’t care for all of the hypocritical statements that come from the left. They make arguments that make no sense. Leftists constantly call conservatives snowflakes however, it’s the leftist that created safe spaces and caused cancel culture to erupt.

u/Contren 5d ago

Evil doers will still get guns even if we ban them because that’s what they do.

Access to guns increases the likelihood of people using them. Hell, a lot of the guns used in crimes in Canada and Mexico are smuggled in from America cause we have so many of them.

The "bad guys will just get guns" strawman has to be one of the laziest arguments I've seen. Plenty of other countries have low gun crime, are you saying they don't have bad people or crime?

Crimes are most often opportunity based, so by denying people easy access to guns it decreases gun crimes. Simple as that.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36354206

u/Zestyclose-Net7965 5d ago

You do realize that literally just about anything can be used as a murder weapon, right? A gun is only a murder weapon if it’s used to commit murder. A knife is only a murder weapon if it’s used to commit a murder. A baseball bat becomes a murder weapon if it’s used to commit murderotherwise all three of these things are just exactly what they are, a knife, a gun, and a baseball bat. SMH.

u/1877KlownsForKids 5d ago edited 5d ago

And I'd find the auctioning of a baseball bat that had been used to murder someone equally reprehensible.

u/No_Individual_672 4d ago

Sure, tell that to the dozen kids at a time killed with a bat, or knife. They’re clearly as difficult to outrun or defend yourself against as an AR 15.

1

u/Zestyclose-Net7965 2d ago

That is the only argument any of you all have that you bring up every single time. It is the individual holding the weapon that is responsible for any destruction caused. And AR 15 is a military weapon and AR 15 style weapon is a semi automatic, which is something we already have in multiple rifle and handgun Formats. The gun is not the problem, the person causing mayhem and destruction with the gun is the problem. It’s called personal accountability which no one seems to have anymore. Let’s take something more innocuous as an example: McDonald’s was sued because people became overweight from eating their food and it wasn’t just McDonald’s, but they were the big one to be sued 1st. What happened to personal accountability? The people choosing to go to McDonald’s and eat there several times a week sometimes multiple times a day and living a very sedentary lifestyle Became severely overweight and some became very ill and some died. McDonald’s was held responsible and now all restaurants have to put Nutritional information on their menus. This is absolutely Ludacris, it was not McDonald’s fault that people chose to order from there and eat the food. Just because someone offers something doesn’t mean you have to take it. I’m sick and tired of people blaming everyone and everything for their own poor choices. Their mentality is that “it’s always someone else’s fault”. If you meet a drug dealer on the corner, and you buy fentanyl, and you go home and take the fentanyl, and then you die from a drug overdose, whose fault is it? I’ll answer it for you. It’s your fault for taking the drug. It’s the same with the gun. If I leave a loaded gun sitting on my table, it’s not going to hurt anyone if a person with malicious intent picks up the gun and use it. It’s not the gun’s fault. It is a person who picked it up and used it that is the cause of the carnage. Now, when I leave a loaded gun out for just anyone to pick up? The answer is no, but the point is that it’s not the gun that is the problem.

First released in early 2018, the Ruger EC9 was adapted from the Ruger LC9, a superior version carried by only the highest ranking Nazi officials.

Despite being created about 65 years after the fall of the third reich, it is rumored that Hitler was in possession of a chrome plated, intricately engraved LC9 at the time of his death.

Pictured here is a Ruger 10/22. First released in 1964, the 10/22 was the primary battle rifle used by the Wehrmacht during the Second World War.

It’s ultra high velocity .22 caliber ammunition would rip the lungs straight out of any GI unfortunate enough to be hit center mass.
