I don't know how far these OPs will go, but be aware that GD seems to be undergoing a de facto rules change, imo. The dumping of these posts (I saw 5 this a.m.) contribute to what I think is a Rolling Exception whereby gun controller/prohibitionists are skirting the intent of GD and thereby get all their posts in all the time. So, if you wish to engage these Guns Discussionists, you will have to go over to GD.

Come Labor Day, and dove season opens in the Central & North Zones of Texas.

"Prospects are good and the birds flyin' high."

Hopefully, the sun flowers are blooming in the field where last year I limited out twice. Wishing for lower temps (we are beginning to drop from 102° back to the mid-90s). I have 150 rounds of 4 different brands, an IC screwed into the 870, and a stout 5 gal bucket to stow my stuff and put my bo-hind on in the field.

If I limit out early, I'll trudge up onto the mesa and check for deer sign and acorn prospects. I'll be on 125 acres of good land for dove and deer, with a year-round spring, and a shot farm house (are there any other kinds of hunting cabins?). Looking forward to pork steaks over an open fire!

Apologies to the Gershwin Bros & Heyward.

I saw one OP on this horrible act. This was a MASS MURDER. I would have supported an exception to the promiscuous GD gun ban topics for this. Even I. But where is the discussion????

As some have pointed out, people in DU seem to have more concern with a theater hatchet man and a theater shooter (2 dead), and can can readily cash in their frequent flyer miles for yet another rolling exception to the GD guns ban. More disturbing, however, is the rolling silence over this Mass Murder. It seems only some lives matter, esp. if they are more fairly complected, or there is a hush-hush of the killings because it didn't fit the proper image

Narratives® are.

Maybe this will get locked, but DU members, esp those who's bile and animos are famous, have some explaining to do. I also wonder if the hosts/mods in GD even noticed this tragedy.

Perhaps even they knew that pushing for 18 and beyond was a little much?
