Well I came to the US from somewhere with much less freedom. And I’ll say I will NOT ban myself from having anything. It sounds disgusting (almost as if encouraging people to become sheeples)

If you don’t like guns, don’t buy one, but don’t give up your own rights voluntarily. Why do you want to let the government have the satisfaction?

Right, so then distill your argument down to actual valid points - not fear of coyotes (and it’s cute that you think you’ll ever be able to bag a coyote that’s taking your chickens so long as you own a gun) or the idea that having a gun in the car will prevent someone else’s aggressive driving.

If those are actual, real talking points for you then you’re either a straight up coward or just someone looking for an excuse to kill something.

Nah. Didn't say that. But it is a tool that may be necessary with some of these issues. If they come in my home and put my family at risk? Sheriff response time out here is 60 minutes+. Yesterday they triggered an alarm trying to get in a house. Seems like mailbox, to porch pirate, to breaking and entering is a obvious escalation. You expect me to sit for 60 min and wait while my family is harmed? Nah.

If there is no way to move to a safe space or ward off a wild animal? Don't get me wrong - we live in harmony with the wildlife around us and our animals (cow, horses, chickens) are pets - not food. But it can be very unpredictable out here and even a tool that is used as a last resort is still a necessary tool to have.

What's super fucked is you can't see past your own world view to understand that it may not fit every other.

Reply to comment by 1dad1kid in Car Insurance/Registration by eecology

🤙🏼 appreciate ya!! Yeah, that makes sense. Like I said it asks where it’s registered to when I quote my insurance- and the difference in rates between Michigan and Washington are tremendous, so I definitely would want it registered in Washington. I’d just change my address on my insurance first, then register the car, then change insurance… correct?

I did drivers license first (which you need for the title and registration) and changed my insurance before getting my title/registration. (Also did that last step pretty late, probably not recommended 😅).

That’s not really the law of the land anymore though is it.

But those who suffer from mental illness, are likely not thinking clearly when they seek a firearm. Since mental illness does not make purchasing ( unless you’ve been involuntarily committed )weapons illegal, it’s prudent to be proactive.

I found I will need my bill of sale because it will be a newly purchased vehicle within 90 days, and I know I’ll have to do this within 30 days of moving- I’m just confused on the order of how I should do everything 😃

I know this is Reddit but I scanned the article and it looks like this is for people who know they have a mental illness to protect themselves when they may not be thinking clearly. That’s it. It’s not some super cure for mass shootings or gun violence and it was never intended to be so.

Anyway, y’all can get back to your galaxy brain comments now.
