I am disturbed by the tum (GUN VIOLENCE) IT IS people violence
Objectionable words
Actually I am. I am very outgoing and have an active, dry, often acerbic sense of humor. Between law enforcement and fire fighting I have over 47 years in, so this has been my social group for all these decades. Not by any means a gentle or genteel peer group.
In retirement we live in an isolated conservative mountain area where people are plain spoken to the point of often being very blunt. Not an environment for thin hides.
I do not suffer fools gladly.

I was stricken with Gelotophobia at an early age.
I am on a funny bone waiting list. It has been a long wait as so few possess them.

Ooooh good grief! I just gave you a like. Is there like any hope for me?
No, that's the problem. People who use the term "gun violence" don't really care about violence at all. They only care about guns. They only care about pushing a gun control agenda. In their twisted world view it's not really violence if a gun is not involved.
If they actually cared about violence, they would talk about violence instead of talking about "gun violence."
I once discovered the best way to get out a job I didn't want to do, was to simply deny I knew how to do it. My supervisor might know better, but it was almost always easier for him to just to get someone else, than to argue with me about it. It worked for many years.
OP
I had to look up that one:
"Gelotophobia
Type of social phobia consisting in the fear of being laughed at."
That never bothered me much. (It probably happens to me here.
) I was a wise-cracking goofy kid early on. Once, in elementary school, a friend said to me, "You know, they're laughing at you, not with you." My response was, "Well, they're laughing, aren't they?" That's all I cared about. The motivation of the laughers was irrelevant to me.Obviously you do or you wouldn't have lasted very long around here .
OP
I fully admit I missed it completely.
Suffering fools gladly...
Glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that one.
But I do not feel I am suffering fools here. I had read this forum for years before I joined. So I had a great respect for the vast majority of the group when I did come on board.
Of the various firearm forums I follow, I consider this one as my favorite. If one goes back through all of my posts, one will not find a single post where it appears I thought I was suffering a fool, even if/when we have disagreed. In all of this I have learned much of value.
When we post, all of us, we leave something of ourselves in each post, and over time as those numbers of posts grow, more of our character becomes evident through what and how we write.
As I said, I don't suffer fools gladly.
I don't have to do that here. One of the many reasons to stick.

'Went missing...'
I've never seen a violent gun. Unfortunately, I have seen my share of violent people.
My condolences to you and Randy's bud.
"Rainbow Bridge"
I cannot object to this term, or the illustrations that often depict this bridge.
We have lost so many dogs over the years, everyone of which we loved, that we relate to it.
I think Will Rogers said it most eloquently: "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went."
Me too.
The problem with dogs is that we outlive them.

I had one or two stupid men that tried that a few times. I cost them raises and/or bonuses!
Jobs that were especially messy or smelly, I usually had the guy do it just before lunch. Then I sprung for lunch and sent him home with full pay for the day!
