     I dont love or hate the NRA, but its the only safety agency that promotes guns with any traction. So ill support it.

     @mxtthxw @freemo The irony of the caption is hilarious lol, according to gun safety standards, the camera should NOT be facing anyone, even if it is unloaded.

     > Love or hate the #NRA — and no one, it seems, is indifferent toward the organization — logic that stresses education and safety around firearms is something that pretty much all of us can get behind. Isn’t it?

     Ah, simpler times

     @mxtthxw @freemo In your dreams, perhaps. But no casualties were reported. You can read more about it here:

     @freemo One could blame liberals for a lack of this useful education in our schools. The amount of time it would take to teach a group of kids how to field strip their AR would be far less than teaching bastardized Mathematics.

     The USMC and USAF should adopt a bunch of children. It would be beautiful because at least the military would give a damn about the kids. If only there was a department that didn't destroy potential, make criminals and give themselves raises.

     @freemo Public education doesn't teach Mathematics in a sensible way. In College I worked as a peer tutor in Mathematics. The amount of students I encountered that were in remedial Math was staggering.

     They were failed by the system. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to realize that Algebra and Trigonometry can be taught to elementary school students or Middle School students.

     Knowledge, Discipline, Character and Drive are the keys to anything great in life.

     I met a plumber who was working in the apartment that I lived in as a kid. Is there a reason why that plumber taught me enough trig in an hour that I was able to out perform my peers for a few years?

     I was sick in elementary school and I had to go to college with my sister. It was A&P that day and after establing that I wasn't going to be a disruption in the class, I was able to stay and participate. I passed their exam and I was having so much fun just being there.

     I guess what I'm trying to say is that many levels of difficulty are not too great for a child. It takes a hostile environment, abuse and neglect to make a young mind have difficulty.

     Give a growing mind as much knowledge as it can handle, it's not a flame but rather an inferno.

     Have an Air Force Officer start teach children about fighter jets and they will soon realize that the children don't run out of questions and their thirst can't be quenched. That's how I got an Airman to get more Airmen to take me away to something else cool. Tbf there was an SR-71 in front of me. How does it fly that fast and what is this RAM made of? That's likely why I was taken aside and given a talk about the U-2.

     I might have mentioned something about carbon, ferrite or some other material I read about. I was escorted away from the SR-71 by two Airmen. My teacher was told to mind their own business. :ablobcatbongo:

     Any funny stories from your childhood Dr. Freemo?
