It's the reality of the world. No one cares about you. No one cares about me. And the choices I make as an adult are the fault of no one else but myself.
I'm really starting to question the whole "libertarian" part of my political ideology if this is what being a libertarian in 2018 means.
Well, since I'm a strident libertarian, I can tell you there's no question you're not one. You seemingly favor big government. That runs counter to the libertarian ideology.

Already have, ex-wife in fact. It was her problem and I have no pity for it.

The last I heard, my cousin was on meth. The family has washed it's hands of her. She grew up in a good home, got pretty much everything she wanted and she still decided to to marry a meth dealer and get hooked herself, when she was warned he was trash and would drag her down. He ended up dying of an O.D. and her son was shot and killed in a drug deal gone wrong, a few years later. As far as I'm concerned, she brought this life on herself, due to her own bad decisions. That may sound harsh to you, but people need to be held accountable for their actions.

My ex finally got her life together, but it took years, jail time and the inevitable rock bottom stint. By that time our relationship was severed and I and my children are better off for it.

But let them be ask risk for harming innocent individuals you say.
Needle sharing is not my concern and not a public health concern.
Children born to addicts, though sad, aren't my concern.
Driving under the influence is already a crime.
A person murdering innocent civilians with military grade weapons aren’t your concern either

Military grade weapons? Stop parroting the ignorant media line.

Since the shooter is a minority I'm surprised you aren't defending him. First time for everything I guess.

Just curious, do you get turned on by challenging someone’s intellect about guns when they have different social/political beliefs?
The left = knows nothing about guns
The Right = gun experts

Well, since your statement was either ignorance about the event or an intential misrepresentation of the event into something that didn't actually happen for your own personal gain, I'd have say, no, I'm not concerned about it. No more than I'm concerned about Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, or The Bogeyman anyway.

Nope it was a complete waste of time, resources and a shot to our criminal justice system. It destroyed a lot of families and neighborhoods.

Nah not ignorance, just a honest assumption since the left is portrayed as “too emotional” to issues like this. I figured to give it a shot and ask a rhetorical question and hope you try and bring up something stupid and irrelevant like you did with the race
baiting thing that didn’t work.

How homo erotic of you. Regardless of your social or political beliefs, I challenge your intelluct because it reeks of ignorance and the ‘military grade’ label is in no way factual. It’s just more regurgitated and irresponsible drivel that simple minded sheep latch on to. There is stupidity on both sides of the aisle. No need to put yours out there with a neon sign. I’d say as a 22 year combat veteran that is actually proficient with numerous weapons systems and with documented lethality, I’m qualified to challenge your statement.

Don’t understand your point of bringing up “homo erotic”, you must be having one of those triggered moments. That’s neither here nor there.
So with your expertise, what shall congress do with weapons like the AR15. 223, M-16 or any aug automatics that are in hoods all over the country?

The "Bogeyman" is real. He can't make par no matter what club he uses.
