Search Results: instant background check

Here in America we can go to gun stores and come out with a firearm after a few days of waiting period and a background check. I just purchased the rifle pictured, it can hold 30 rounds of.223 or 5.56.

I believe a well armed population who is familiar with gun function and safety is critical for survival. Imagine the very real possibility of a war where the mainland is invaded would you rather have a bunch of wussies armed with a butter knife or fellow citizens armed to the teeth ready to push back against the invasion? Yes we have gun violence here but it is rare the news puts it under spotlight because we live in an age of instant information. Out of our 330m odd civilians the few cases of criminal gun violence are rare, and any violence we have is a fair price we pay for freedom.

I had a first date with a woman I met online. We had a few lengthy phone conversations over the course of a few days; then we decided to meet. She lives about an hour away so I drove to her hometown to meet. We had a nice seafood dinner at a place that was nice but not too upscale. The conversation flowed freely. She had a glass of wine after dinner and we talked more. It seems that we had much in common and I felt an instant connection with her.

We began talking about meeting again and we agreed to our next date before parting for the night. I walked her to her car and gave her one goodnight kiss. I texted her when I got home to tell her that I was home safe and that I really enjoyed meeting her. She replied that she also enjoyed it and was looking forward to our next date. That was the last communication I ever had from her.

She did not respond to text messages, phone calls, emails. . . nothing. I checked the local papers to see if something awful had happened to her but there were no news reports concerning her. I knew where she worked but I did not call her at work or go wait for her in her parking lot when she got off work; that seemed like it would be stalking and if she did not want to talk to me. . . what can you do?

My best guess is that there was an ex lurking in the background and she got back with him. An explanation would have been nice, but. . . Maybe she was put off by me kissing her at the end of the first date, but she didn't act that way when it happened and she texted afterwards saying that she had a good time. Bottom line: I have no idea what happened.

What a horrible experience!
