Do you drive a vehicle of any sort?
Did Shakespeare ask the question of being or not, if he thought existence would predicate it?
Is it an image which set it into emotion, motion and/or commotion or? It comes from the imago-nation which uses it for self preservation?
It is not a personal thing, a real thing, but one where by one can sleep, and not be aware, of it’s necessary function
This came to me in sleep, from my deep unconscious, reassuring me of the brain’s special cargo, mind you!
Please don’t let me explain, but it’s so special, so real!
(As you see, no animosity needed, per example)
I’ma let you esplain for favor de nada, gracias.
Recovering from stroke thank you, clanked does live, to the tune of ghoast’s existence, thanks, did not want to make explicit, of the universality of fears’ protective barrier…
Besides it’s past witching hour , no fear of lost loves!
Ok, but what is the point of all that in relation to the young man’s murder?
Wish could figure that out, only a clansman, one riding through, a motorcycle through Deep South could fathom the rye.
Could also mention life, as real, and then clanked, and no simulated fear of AI, but that could have been perceived as a logistical error, a-priori.
Sleep now, oh brain, refresh in the am (I)
(( are ghosts there, or, am ghosted here?$)
Easy, rye der
Be frank Meno, did the guy’s death make you sad or could you hardly hide a malevolent grin when you heard the news?

I meant to say “..no more in-person appearances, in general”, as.. better to ensure One’s safety, than be prey to another’s folly.

Such is the general rule of totalitarian societies, first they try to censor you and overtime if that doesn’t work they just flat out murder you. It happening in a nation that supposedly prides itself on ‘free speech’ makes it all the more ironic.

Gun deaths outpaced motor vehicle deaths in 35 states and the District of Columbia in 2022, the most recent year for which data is available.
Do you have TV?
Watch on Stan or Youtube and this was produced in 2017.
America’s gun death rate is unacceptably high and far above other Western industrialized nations.
The nation’s gun violence epidemic is linked to the easy availability of firearms and weak gun violence prevention laws.
This correlation also holds at the state level: An annual VPC analysis shows that states with higher rates of gun ownership and weaker gun violence prevention laws have the highest gun death rates in the country.
Conversely, states with stronger gun violence prevention laws and lower rates of gun ownership have the lowest gun death rates in the country.
It is like the Wild West!

You forget the fact that when criminals procure firearms themselves illegally it’s nice having them yourself if they invade your home, incidents like that are only increasing.
I dont understand the mentality of owning weapons of mass destruction in one’s home!
Maybe yes a small handgun, but most is heavy artillery.
and this is normal? WTF.
Life is hard in the U. S of A.

What do you mean by heavy artillery?
In the vid I suggested Ich to watch, Murder in Milwaukee, by Louis Theroux the gun looks like an AK-47, I dont know anything about guns, I have never handled any, but it was BIG and had huge shells that could blast someone’s face away.

First lesson on firearms is that visual looks mean very little at all, the real information comes with model, caliber, and whether if it is automatic, semiautomatic, or a single shot firearm.
There’s lots of rifles that look like AK 47s but are in fact semiautomatic knock offs.
(Unless the rifle has been altered or tampered with making it automatic. A good gunsmith knows how to do that very easily.)
Umm……… right………ummm. Scary stuff.
So what I am getting is that if you live in the States, you own a weapon to protect yourself.
Question.
Is this acceptable for a Buddhist?
I know the Dalai Lama’s stance on this, but is there a core belief on this?

My dad had a rifle and a hand gun, when he and my mum moved back to the Caribbean.. suffice to say, nobody ever troubled him.

Buddhists aren’t wooses!
Are there any gun laws in the Caribbean?

..is this true Meno?
..if so, you and I are over. 
In Buddhism it is perfectly acceptable to defend yourself and your loved ones from harm.
Violence is viewed as the option of last resort and even then bloodlust is frowned upon in that Buddhist soldiers are taught to fight with the intent of not taking enjoyment in killing.
In short, a necessary evil as an option of last resort or defense only.
