We had pretty much every item on this video as a kid. Such good times where outrage didn't really exist unlike the past 20 years. In 2nd grade I made a cig ashtray for my parents and 3rd grade did a manger scene for Christmas talent show and no jew, aclu or democrat complained.

Had a middle school teacher who liked to do something different on Fridays.

Our assignment: 'Ask your parent for something useful you can teach the rest of the class.'

My father handed me an antique lantern and a piece of steel wool. Told me to start removing the rust.

It took work, and patience. When I finished a section, Dad told me good job, now you can show someone in class how to start restoring antiques.

That was not a bad idea, I showed something useful and really didn't have to say much.

We always went in alphabetical order, which meant the town tough kid, Tommy followed me.

Tommy stepped in front of class. Pulled out a sharpening stone from one pocket, a folded knife the other.

"I am going to teach the class the proper way to sharpen a knife"

Tommy clicked his 6" switch blade and quietly sharpen for five minutes. Occasionally offering a tip or two.

No one flinched. We all, including the teacher, knew Tommy was just showing off.

True story.....back in the day, I took a shotgun to school to teach the class how to properly clean a firearm. Took it on the bus!

Don't try that today.

Back in the day, our HS parking lots, all across America, had at least a few old pickup trucks with gun racks above the seat.

During deer hunting season, the gun racks were loaded with shotguns - students hunting before school.

I have a young coworker, a very nice and polite 18 year old.

Police found a gun in his vehicle during a traffic stop. The dirty DA wants to put him away.

Oklahoma is a right to open carry, no license required. The young kid was just underaged.

He went from a happy go lucky great kid to frowning all the time. He should be working hard making a future, but The System wants to make him an indentured servant to the State.

I've gotten to the point here in Oklahoma if I see a cop or assistant DA get gunned down, I'll raise a beer to whomever did the deed.

Yes, piggy corruption is out of control here in Oklahoma.

In another recent case, a highschool kid was showing his friends a new gun he purchased.

A "Karen" passing by called the police. Because the kid was within 1000' of a school, he is looking at serious prison time.

The police used to show discretion, today they are nothing more than thugs for the ZOG machine.
