From one of Old Crocs sources (under "Who We Are")
"The problems of race cannot be solved without adequate understanding. Attempts to gloss over the significance of race or even to deny its reality only make problems worse. Progress requires the study of all aspects of race, whether historical, cultural, or biological. This approach is known as race realism."
Don't worry, we know who you are.

Well folks, I may leave this open for a little longer but if all we have here are Old Croc and Paul poking at each other I think this topic may have reached its end.
Assume the best and ask questions.

“Just to confirm there is a serious problem with that website, my security stuff won't let me go there. It's been hacked and has malware. Do not go there.”
I have a Mac. Maybe the Website attacks only Windows systems. Totally transparent to me. Sorry about that.
“I don't know where to begin with that pile of garbage so I won't.”
LMAO! Paul truly is a loyal soldier of the DNC.
“Give me gun confiscation, or give me death!”
We must be careful what we write to him, for someday he might be appointed to political office and rule over us (sorta like the district supervisors in HPP).
Paul, Political Commissar of Puna.
I can, however, sympathize with his statement to some degree, for one of my sources is the New York Times.
“Who he is arguing with, primarily?”
Anyone who believes we can make another country's restrictive gun laws ours and expect them to be effective.
“People who quote extremist websites about black crime, no thank you.”
Attention! The Department of Justice now hosts an extremist Website!
Well, that could have been true under the Obama Administration.
“The worst "source" is, of course, Info Wars.”
Did I use that?
“New Zealand is a good example however, for how a country can have guns and keep the risk low. They must be doing something right.”
So is Switzerland, but do we want Swiss gun laws in the U.S.? There are about 1.3 million members of the U.S. armed forces (sheesh! Source = http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/201...ographics/).
Suppose half of them, 650,000, have combat-related jobs. That's 650,000 M4 automatic rifles kept at home like in Switzerland. And you believe we have a mass-murder problem now?

Yes.
Requiring military service does seem to create a stronger society, with or without the guns.

Thank you. As Andy Clyde used to say, "I've had mah say."
I would rather devote my time to HPP problems, which are serious.

Enough for me as well. I'm glad, Old Croc, that you support common sense restriction on military-style weapons for civilians.
That we can agree on.
Keiki back to school tomorrow, keep eyes and ears open for support and safety of them and kumu.
Shake the hand of school security, police, fire/rescue. Beeg mahalo to them as well.
