Alright, let's see.
Continue.
We haven't figured out why our screen turns off every 2 minutes or thereabouts.
If if you're a techie kind of person in you, one at a time and see how long it is, and figure out why it does it.
We would welcome that Because it's kind of a kind of weird.
All right, we have been in this series called hot topics for a hot month and man we have just jumped right into the frying pan.
I came up with a list originally and provided survey and we picked together which top for topics we were talking about that.
There was a tie for first place.
So we extended that and so this is one of the tied for fourth place topics today.
So we've talked about environment, race abortion, lgbtq + and Today's topic is guns.
so, let me start with
Let me start with a couple of story and that that's probably what the screen will save Anjali stories.
So first of all, about guns, I want to just acknowledge that I am gun illiterate Relatively speaking, we didn't have any guns and our house and I don't know whose deal that was.
I think it was my mom's cuz my dad went hunting a few times with some friends and I think my dad probably like that guns were cool, but it must have been my mom.
And why my mom was a farm.
Girl, I would assume there were some guns on the farm, but maybe it was cheese, world war ii-era.
No gun.
So we can, I remember that as like a second grader.
I loved playing guns with the other little boy, that lived on our cul-de-sac.
So, I happen to find a metal gun about that big.
You can hold it like this and go.
And I I I remember the empty lot next to our house and the two other boys in our cul-de-sac, they had holsters and like very realistic-looking guns and they're pulling there and I'm hiding behind a bush.
I can I can picture the bush and I'm betting, rather voice going.
All right.
Now fast forwards to my adult life.
And there's a couple of great guys in Rockford who were going to help me experience guns, and take me bird hunting.
So, the first thing we did was on a couple of Saturdays.
We went to a shooting range and we shot clay pigeons.
And you know, I I learned important things like don't point the gun that way it's loaded and how it works.
And and eventually I got to where I could get hit the occasional clay pigeon and so they figured okay, I think we're ready.
So now it's bird hunting day.
These two guys for dogs and John, and I, you know, I'm borrowing a double barrel, shotgun side-by-side double barrel shotgun, and they put me in front and we're going to stand.
In front of me.
And they said, here's how it's going to go, John, the the dog will flush the bird.
When when the bird is flying, it's all you.
And when you empty, both of your barrels, if the bird still flying, then we'll shoot.
So we this was our day, the dogs would flush a bird and you'd hear a boom, boom!
And a bird would just be flying happily along and then you'd hear and down the road would go.
Except for one time, one time the dogs flush the bird and you heard boom and the bird went down and John is just popping out his chest like yeah, baby, I know what I'm doing.
That's about as much as I know.
So I thought I need to go talk to somebody who really knows guns.
And I had heard that Sam and Carrie niemeyer's dad has a Gun Room, carries walking little baby around in the back of the room there and And that they have this family party, where they all get together and shoot guns.
So, his name is Bob Drew.
I called him.
Could I come over and see, your gun room?
Would you tell me about your party?
I drove to Coral this farm that he lives on and I saw his gun room.
It's a room because they wouldn't all fit in like a safe.
There's 30 maybe rifles to start 30 shotguns and right long, guns, 30, long guns.
Many of them are Shotguns, over-and-under double barrel side-by-side, double barrel.
I don't know what you call the kind that's got a single barrel and you can put the second shell in and then it kind of wrecked it's up and I'm sure there's a name for that and I was really curious.
So I I asked him to tell me about every one of the guns us.
Most of them have wood stocks and I, I don't know guns but I know a little bit about Woodworking and so I really love the the wood, the craftsmanship of guns.
The metal craftsmanship in the in the wood craftsmanship of these guns.
His biggest one is a 10 gauge shotgun.
That thing is having, it looks like an elephant gun and the smallest gauge, shotgun is a 28 gauge.
I think it is kind of would be a much lighter sort of weapon to carry and too far.
And then some of them rifles.
And I'm I'm not good at my gauges of rifles.
So I know the smallest.
One is a 22.
What the biggest bullet is I couldn't tell you except that it's About that long and it's kind of fat.
And it looks like if you fired that thing, it would if you really go.
So some of them Are ornate with engraving and others of them are very plain but all of them are really pieces of workmanship.
And then Bob has, I would say 10 handguns.
He's got a 44 magnum because it is Dirty Harry gun.
Just a, you know, it's like a cannon that you can hold with your aunt and but I was maybe most fascinated by the the kind of concealed carry gun.
I guess you would call it small.
A small little gun with a Magazine.
That that I'm bad at the gun terminology.
I'm sorry, I'm stumbling around here.
I've got that little thing that you put in there with the bullets in it, but Small and really intelligently designed and lightweight.
And you could put it in the small of your back.
Or I don't know where people carry their gun.
So I guess you can have your shirt out and it hangs over in and nobody knows.
I was there.
So, okay, not tell me.
Tell me about the family gun Gathering.
So, on this Saturday, after the Saturday immediately following the 4th of July, they have their family gun party and extended family.
And friends.
Come there been, lots of people there like men, be as many as 100 people have gum and they lined.
Everybody brings their guns, they line up all these guns that have one field that's for shooting clay pigeons and they have another field that's for handguns and rifles.
And there's a stand that's got bowling pins hanging from string.
And the inexperienced Shooters, see if they can shoot a bowling pin and the experience shooter, see if they can shoot the string and just all day long, people are shooting guns, you bring your gun, you bring your ammunition.
If there's a gun that you're interested in that you've never shot before you ask, can I can I try shooting that gun.
And yeah, you can shoot that gun, and the kids are around, and it's a part of how they learn.
The the safety of guns and it's this big happy family gathering.
Which sounded like a lot of fun.
Maybe maybe carry.
I'll get an invite someday.
Okay, I asked God.
Give me something to say about guns from his word in about a month ago.
I felt like God gave me this word for today and so I would like to read Psalm 20 and I think there's some good stuff and Psalm 24 us For the director of Music, a Psalm of David may the Lord answer you.
When you are in distress, May the name of the god of Jacob protect you.
May he send you help from the sanctuary and Grant, you support from Zion.
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
Maybe shout for Joy.
Over your Victory and lift up our banners, in the name of our God, may the Lord grant all your requests.
Now this I know the Lord gives Victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his Heavenly Sanctuary with the Victorious power of His right hand.
