"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Damn that boating accident in 2010.
I can’ t afford a boat but I had an unfortunate accident while shooting in the California desert and all my guns fell into an abandoned mine shaft, barely escaped myself😱 Just realized that the question was about location of gun, singular?

Just a comment. I am watching old westerns/comedies for a break from politics.

Last night on the Rifleman...Lucas explained to Mark that a gun was a tool...just like a hammer. Which is true.

But how many shows in today's world would do that? We've come a long way baby, to get where we've gotten to today.

   I was watching Being There last night on TCM and Robin couldn't see the humor in it.  Obviously she's not a Peter Seller's fan.

"The Rifleman" was one of my favorites growing up!  I love westerns; "Gunsmoke", "Wagon Train" and I'm a huge John Wayne fan.

Great movie. Wonderful commentary on the whole political scene, especially how people read into statements what they want to hear.

   I'm Guilty of comparing Chancey Gardiner to DJT often, I love that Film.

Dunno. It's Kamala who was talking about the neighbor's landscaping and making vague statements that apparently her supporters are projecting their wildest hopes and dreams on.

I support Trump at this point because he isn't likely to lead us down the same road as Kamala, which is the road we have been going down...

It's easy, here, but its seasonal. Of course that time of year, you can drive on it, too.

In all fairness, I'm not looking for a messiah in politics, that job is filled and apolitical.

I just want someone who will restore some common sense to government, as incompatible as that mixture seems. He won't be the uber Republican, he won't be completely conservative, but I see him surrounding himself with people this time who are not really mainstream DC, and who each have their own areas of talent and reasonableness. IF he gets in, it will likely be far more benevolent than a Harris administration. In Harris' direction I see only darkness and death, the other way is at least partly cloudy.
