What would Odin say about GUN CONTROL?

Here's a link for you. Helps to explain my particular point of view a little, as the author is of my faith.

The Allfather and gun control

An excerpt:
While we're at it, let's look at the idea that our world is less violent than that of, say, the Vikings. According to M.I. Steblin-Kamenskij in his book The Saga Mind, we have a record of acts of violence in Iceland over a period of several centuries. At the height of the heroic age in that Viking colony, when every freeman carried a sword or axe or spear, the per capita murder rate was a lot less than in most urban areas in America today! We live in an extremely violent time, and the prognosis is for more of the same.

Perhaps, as I believe, the faith of the Vikings has more place in today's world than most people think.

Just to make things perfectly clear, the police have no duty to protect you or even respond to your calls for help.
Warren V District Of Columbia

Just to pique your interest:
"

Warren and Taliaferro crawled back inside their room. They again heard Douglas' continuing screams; again called the police; told the officer that the intruders had entered the home, and requested immediate assistance. Once again, a police officer assured them that help was on the way. This second call was received at 6:42 a. m. and recorded merely as "investigate the trouble" - it was never dispatched to any police officers.

Believing the police might be in the house, Warren and Taliaferro called down to Douglas, thereby alerting Kent to their presence. Kent and Morse then forced all three women, at knifepoint, to accompany them to Kent's apartment. For the next fourteen hours the women were held captive, raped, robbed, beaten, forced to commit sexual acts upon each other, and made to submit to the sexual demands of Kent and Morse."

The police never came.....

Overwhelmed.

Ever have one of those days where the world comes crashing down around you? I'm having one of those. It's not any one thing, rather the sum total of government intrusion into my life has goten to be too much for me to bear.
The passage of the Real ID act, McCain-Feingold, The be a snitch or go to jail bill, the anti gun crap being pushed by members of my own legislature. It weighs on me, and occasionally, it's too much. Why can't I be left alone? Why can't the state and federal government just do their jobs? No, they need more power. click it or ticket. Am I the only one tired of being told what to do?
I have an idea. Let's give the lower 2/3 of CA to Mexico. We'll keep it from Redding on North. We'll send all the leftist freaks to New York and Chicago. The rest of the country will be the United States, and will go back to strict Constitutionally supported law. All Alphabet agencies will be disbanded and the employees thereof put to work on something useful, like building a DMZ between us and Mexico.
I don't understand why people focus on how others live their lives. What I do is my business, so long as I'm not harming anyone. Ramble, ramble, rant, rant.............
More later....
