Hipster or Homeless? Hipster Repellent

Here's a game you can play with your friends. It's called "hipster or homeless."  Take the above image for instance.  Bets anyone?  Hipster or homeless? 

Hipsters.  The annoying young adults who think they've invented coolness.  Each generation has their form of 'hipsters' be it hippies, beat nicks, flappers, whatever.  Hipsters are not special nor unique however much they think otherwise. 

Hipsters have do have a quality like no other.  They find authentic diners, bars, and other old school hangouts (and I do even dare say they are trying farming after they turned their nose up at us hicks for years on end) and gentrify them. 

If your place of business is old school and void of hipsters, you are the hipsters next target.  They want "authentic" experiences but generally they are whiney pains in the asses and the next thing you know the pizza joint that has been around since 1962 is being asked if they have "gluten-free" crust.

Get the guns, NOW. 

There is relief from this invasion of gentrifiers (that's not even a word).  Hipsters HATE anything to do with the republican political party - especially Trump and the Make America Great Again campaign.  All you have to do for hipster repellent is to have Trump propaganda complete with the American Flag be your decoration of choice.  Don't forget the NRA sticker and gun rack on your oversized pickup truck. 

Non-hipsters don't get their panties in a bunch if other people have varied political and social beliefs.  They will be nonplussed by the pro-Trump decor and NRA sticker and won't even care. 

Paris Gun Control: Is it Working?

I know.....Americans are dip shits for allowing AK-47's.  Let's dismantle the NRA and make them ILLEGAL!!!!!  Gun Control!!!!!!!!  It's TIME!!!!!!!

Slow down there, non-cowboy.  Think this through.  Tell me, doesn't Paris  have extremely strict gun control laws?  Tell me, how did Daesh terrorists manage to get their hands on them?  Is it true the police are unarmed?

Here in America we tried making alcohol illegal during prohibition.  It didn't work.  We tried the 'war on drugs'.  It's not working.  It's only creating violent drug cartels and a highly profitable black market.  If people really want something they are going to get it one way or the other.  You can't put this genie back into the bottle.

Background checks?  Psychological evaluations?  The pro gun control crowd is crying for more restrictions.  Are you kidding?  Neither background checks nor psychological exams are worth anything.  We are all nuts and half a bubble off.  Who is going to make that judgement call?  All I see is a field day for lawyers creating entire practices for individuals who were so-called discriminated against and denied their second amendment right to own a gun.  Lawyers love this kind of shit.  I pretty much hate lawyers.  I can already hear the Oakland thug crying on television that he was denied a gun cuz he be black and da man want to keep 'im down and hep-liss.  Full riots will ensue.

Hey, getting on TV and crying discrimination works.

The pro gun control crowd is trying to liken owning a gun like getting a drivers licence with the bureaucratic process as a deterrent and safety filter.  I don't see that happening.  We all know that people just drive with revoked drivers licenses anyway or just drive without a license at all.  In fact, we could not enforce our own laws and caved into granting drivers license to illegals.  We also caved into those who violated safety laws and gave an 'amnesty' program for unpaid fines and tickets so they could get their license back.  We even go so far to stop impounding cars at roadblocks when the driver is under the influence or not licensed because it's 'discriminating' and a 'hardship'.  Bullshit.  All they had to do was whine and cry a little.  More people are likely to die in a car accident than die from a gun shot wound.  I dare anybody to correct me on that simple fact.  

Are our roads any safer?  I don't think so.  I bet you can personally name somebody you know who died in a car accident.  I don't think you can personally name somebody you know from a gun shot wound.

The pro gun control crowd is using Australia as the poster child for gun control.  Australia is the island continent with no other countries within it.  They are self-contained and accessible by only sea and airplane.  The United States shares a border with Canada and Mexico.  We all know that Mexico is the exporter of whatever it is that we can't get in the United States -- including our slave labor and drugs.  Why would guns be any different?

And no, non-cowboy, I'm not anti-gun control.  I just want people to think every angle through.  There is no easy sound byte solution to this.

D.C. Shootings: Gun Control?

A former Navy reservist open fired at the Navy Admin Headquarters in D.C. yesterday killing 12.  I'm sure you've all heard as it's plastered all over the media ad nauseum.  The timing and location hits uncomfortably close to home for Quiet Rage for reasons I can't disclose.  This attack hit me on a personal level. 

Although the motive has not yet been officially established, my guess is that the nut-case perpetrator has a string of being arrested and dismissed from jobs for being a dumb, volatile, violent asshole.  

I know.... let's make accessible an AR-15 assault rife, a shotgun, and a semi-automatic pistol to people on the psychiatric edge!!!!  What a GREAT idea!!!!  They can go into places of former employment and take out innocents!  So much for background checks. 

I'm going to start a campain:  Marajuana NOT guns.

If he had access to pot he may have been too mellow to even think about doing such a dastardly deed.  I don't know who even NEEDS an AR-15 assault rifle, anyway.  I can hear the NRA on my ass already for accusing me of giving away our constitutional right to bear arms.  I've got news for the NRA.  I agree for the right to 'bear arms' against our government.  The intent was to give means for protection for the population from an overly oppressive, controlling central government.  I completely agree with that.  However, the second amendment is outdated.  It was written in days where modern technology was not even in the wildest science fiction fantasies of our forefathers.  'Arms' has a totally new definition in the post 18th century.

In the age of artificial intelligence, drones, satellites, chemical warfare, bomber planes, atomic bombs, etc., waving an AR-15 assault rifle will not help you.  The fascinating question is just how do we protect ourselves from oppression and censorship via technology when we all depend on it?  The central government is unchecked monitoring our free speech and right to assemble by tagging trigger words spoken and typed over phones and internet activity without our consent.  We are being intercepted and squashed before we can even organize ourselves for protest. 

This is the evolved issue that the second amendment tried to address.  In honor of the United States Constitution that was adopted on this very day in 1787 in Philadelphia, I respectfully pose intent of the second amendment and its relevance in the modern world to the authors.  You will find me in a dark room with an Ouija board awaiting answers.  LOL.
