Hey BCR! For some reason I’m not able to respond on your thread but I highly recommend John Van Lierop – I took lessons from him when I was in elementary school. Very well-rounded, theory driven lessons. Here’s his info – he’s located in the Morgan Junction area.

https://www.rt.com/usa/327614-obama-gun-control-executive-order/
it’s two topics in one!
i don’t believe that obama’s executive order will make a tinker’s damn worth of difference in the frequency of american mass murders, let alone trample anyone’s second amendment rights.
as the article points out, his 2013 executive order closing the gun show loophole didn’t prevent subsequent mass shootings, and gun sales actually increased. again.
the guns are out there and anyone can get one – legally or not.
maybe we should enact chris rock’s “bullet tax.” at $1,000 per round, maybe the individuals inclined to go full auto would be a little more discriminate… or just stay home and play mass shooting 2016 on x-box.
I thought the first half of this article was pretty interesting … if we can’t limit corporate contributions, should we require elected officials to wear the logos of their top 10 ‘sponsors’ during public legislative sessions? Is that enough or should we go further?
The second half of the proposal is pretty interesting too … maybe we should have so many legislators that it would be impossible to afford to be able to buy a majority.
This should be a fun discussion to start the new year!

Coastline’s not there yet but maybe 2016?
like the one on the front page… where a gofundme site is set up for a woman who was brutally attacked..and met it’s goal in 24 hours.
and get so dang proud of us as a community
there is another go fund me site for another local victim listed in the comments on that story that is still roughly 3 grand short of meeting it’s goal…
did you know that on many of these sites if the funding goal isn’t met the recipients don’t get your full donation?
maybe we can tip this one over the edge before Christmas
