LawTalkers - Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.

So what random thoughts.

Way back in college, my roommate was into a girl who lived on our floor who is now his wife. He sorta tried to hook me up with her roommate, to whom I probably should have been more attracted give the circumstances. Regardless, we wound up agreeing to go to a dance together, despite at least my awkwardness around whether we were really into each other.

This lead to questions around our dorm about whether it was our first date, to which I reflexively responded "no" meaning I had had other dates before. Later, I took her for e ride in my dad's convertibel during which she reasonably but unexpectedly to me asked if my parents would be okay with her being brown. They would have been but it wasn't really a date to me so I didn't get the question.

More than a decade later I moved back to Minneapolis and met her out for drinks. She was divorced (and now years later I know out of an abusive relationship). We wound up at her place as I took the bus and she didn't want to drive home having had some drinks. I drove her home and she immediately called me a cab, although we talked about how a mutual friend (who wanted to fuck her) told her back in college that I was only going to the dance with her to try to fuck her and she weirdly (from my perspective) sidled up to me after effecively telling me to go away via calling a cab.

So, anyway, she and I had weird vibes and I let her fall away after meeting and starting to date my now wife so it's a bit odd aside from really liking and respecting her because she's great but also realizing I was super weird with her twice because I'm a dweeb and neither of us was good at saying we were down.

This is a truly weird post and I'm not sure what the takeaway is intended to be or should be.

It made no sense to me - seems like it was posted after a several cocktails.

I think you are overthinking this. I'm pretty sure the only "takeaway" is: Adder is typing words about things that he remembers.

I missed that one. Did you really have to quote it?

I don't know about his parents caring about her being brown, but I bet they're pretty embarrassed by just how white he is.

The problem we're talking about is "gun nuts."

Tried "changing the hearts and minds" of any nuts - on any issue - lately?

You don't talk to nuts. You manage them. And no law aimed at managing gun nuts, and the object of their bizarre fixation, has been passed. So no, my approach has not been tried.

Either he leaned over during the act, quite awkwardly given his massive stomach, or he has enviable aim.

And it compels the question, Did he push dirt over his work like a cat in litter?

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Just... Wrong.

About the shift among gun owners away from hunting.

Yup. That's right on target.

Back in the 80s, when I was fresh out of college, I managed campaigns for a state senator and later congressman in Western Mass., and he was both very liberal and very pro-gun, and it was when we were talking about gun control in the 80s sense, focused on hand-guns, sawed off shot guns, some kind of registration, and outright bans on automatic weapons because WTF!?! Pro-gun NRA-supported (yes, they did this then) liberals could and did support automatic weapons bans, but held the rifle sacrosanct. I spent a lot of time at political affairs at a couple gun and rod clubs.

But the world changed and by the late 90s he'd become very pro-gun control, as had most of us, because we were talking about controlling weapons of mass destruction being glorified by a bunch of nut jobs and used in mass murders. The gun nut of today doesn't really know much about their guns or gun safety, either, they're just trying to be rambo and are easily sold on totally wacko stuff.

One big problem is the NRA still has most of the hunters, though, even though it's really marketing to the overcompensating small-dick crowd.
