Even after all of the knowledge we have gained over the years, people still do silly things. Then they wonder why the issues by authorities about their actions. Bringing your loaded weapons (guns) to the airport even if it is in a suitcase. One example: Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport was ranked fourth in the nation for […]
There is evidence that a higher minimum wage causes a lower suicide rate. I would not have guessed this: “Suicide is often connected to financial stress, so it makes sense that increasing income might reduce the risk of suicide.

It has been a while since I have covered the issue of bullet spewing weapons on Angry Bear. For the record, I own and I shoot. My weapons are trigger locked and ammo is separate from them. I am also an XMarine Sergeant. My experience is extensive. My training with an M14 and M1s was […]

I do not believe there is anything shocking enough to get Americans to react to deluge of killings from bullet-spewing-weapons. No matter what happens, everything goes back to the way it was pre-mass murders. In this case we have had multiples of shootings of 4 or more which qualifies as a mass shooting. Our elected […]
The title is mine. We do not appear to have any good guys as portrayed in all the western movies we would see on the big screen. No Wyatt Earp or Matt Dillion to take care of the bad guys. Maybe Justice Clarence will get out there and pull a bit of guard duty to […]
