Every man, and especially every woman in America should wear and carry guns with them at all times...especially if they are driving across America alone towing a trailer or not.
Crazy kidnappers/killers/rapists/violent thieves are there waiting to prey on 'sitting duck' victims.
All shown in the movie 'Alone'...and documented in real cases.
An assault rifle and several handguns as the minimum.
Plus enough ammunition, food, water and Sat phone for a long standoff.
Chance favours the well-armed.

McDonald's vows to keep prices low through inflation.

https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/falling-costs-may-boost-mcdonalds-other-restaurant-profits-2023-2023-01-30/

This is good news for the Cattle Ranchers who raise Beef for McDonald's, and it is good news for the Hay Growers, etc, and for the Dairies which make the Cheese, etc.

Salute,

Talladega National Forest Alabama...2022...hikers Adam Simjee and Mikayla Paulus became victims.
Allegedly kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint by two women, Adam Simjee ending up dead.
Allegedly tricked into stopping to help the two women with 'car trouble'.
Their fatal mistake, trying to help.

Two women on trial for alleged kidnapping and robbery, illegal use of a firearm, and maybe more.

Hiker Adam Simjee is dead...age 22.
He was wary, but his companion age 20, was obviously way too nice, was trying to fix the alleged armed kidnappers'/robbers' car for them, even ringing her father for advice and watching YouTube videos to try to help the two women.

Nothing wrong with me...no way I'm stopping for people with broken down cars, anywhere.
It's the bad people's oldest trap for the kind and helpful.
Tony in this forum warned about rocks etc put on roads by the bad people...so they can bash and rob the kind and helpful who might stop to move the rocks off the road.

Lucky you weren't 'totally sure' and bet a lot of money on it. lol

You can't make this stuff up...and anyway, don't have to...to demonstrate why I would need to be well-armed and ready wherever I lived/went in America.

Two women allegedly lured a driver to death. They may be part of a fringe sect

Police said that they disarmed Pinkins' son after the five-year-old approached with a loaded shotgun.

Misinformation and lies that come from out of state, from people who pretend to care about "our farms."

Well then I think that for every "guns are really great and everybody should/must own one or several" article you link to, you should also link to a story about a kiid killing himself, a friend or a sibling "accidentally" with a gun.  You know, collateral damage stuff.

And if "[e]very man, and especially every woman in America should wear and carry guns with them at all times" how do we keep those guns out of the hands of the "[c]razy kidnappers/killers/rapists/violent thieves...waiting to prey on 'sitting duck' victims"?

That goes against bambis ethos as a shill and cancer on society. It is not going to happen.

Nothing in that report can be construed as lies unless you subscribe to the theory that people who disagree with you are misinforming you.
In Crawford County, Ohio this fall voters, after two and a half years of legal battles, voted down a planned Wind Farm on farmland, 3-1.

The people who care the most about farm land are the farmers who work in them.

Gordon Smith of Oregon is a Republican and former Senator of Oregon who is a Billionaire from frozen vegetables.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_H._Smith

Farmers can get rich if they are smart, and then they can help other people and give back as Gordon Smith has done.

Some of the Cattle Ranchers who my Father used to sell Hay to were Billionaires. There are some wealthy Cattle Ranchers.

Farmers and Ranchers can get wealthy, and then they can give back and help others. And hippy communes that do Farming and Ranching can be successful communes.

Salute,

Tony V.
