The government now knows how easy a gun take away will be.

If it weren't for boot lips you wouldn't burn powder.

If it flys it dies son!

Damn paywall--says I have to subscribe to enlighten myself with this guy's thoughts...

Do you believe in representations? Metaphors and the such? You keep making this about a single tournament. It's not...good day.

How do you cut someone’s hair or do their nails from six feet away?

Tim Haugh's response highlights the reason these decisions are being made. It's all about liability and litigation. Our court systems are about to be over run with the number of lawsuits that will be filed. The Government is overstepping it's bounds and the legal fights are going to last a long time.

Just looking through MSN quickly this morning you see lawsuits from the NRA regarding the closure of gun shops, small business owners filing suit because officials have shut down their ability to make a living, a Wal-Mart in Michigan refusing to sell a car seat because it was deemed non-essential, and many more.

FEAR has taken a hold on the country and stupid decisions are being made.

Coachallenta Thanks for making my point. I counted five I's in your little response. Yes OUR government is not perfect but still is the best in the world, thanks for people like your dad, I was there in 65 thru 67, so along with your Dad, I also did my duty ( I didn't jump out of a plane). But I didn't do it so the "I" people can go fishing when their Government needs their help to Shelter in Place. You stated that you would pick up the Fight "if needed" , Well Stand Tall and do what "We the People", Not "I" think what's Best for Our Country. Your Father didn't jump out of a Plane so "I" people can go Fishing in a time when our Government "We the People" need you to Shelter in Place. You are Not Arguing with Me, You are Arguing with the Leaders of Our Great Nation that We the People have elected. Unfortunately, we don't have much Leadership now, but that will change.

Care to acknowledge the dichotomy in your own closing statement?

I love when people put so much time into an argument, only to destroy it in the end because they want to get a personal beef off their chest. Beautiful...

Luckily we are a Constitutional Republic and we have some of us that know what many think is "What's Best for Our Country" is not really what's best for our country, and get our representation instead of falling in line.

I thank God we have the leadership we have now. This would have been much worse otherwise and somehow she would have been given a Nobel Peace prize for it. The Hippocrate Party and their media buddies have no shame. Maybe you'll have anther shot in 2024 but ain't happening in 2020. Good luck.

Duck hunter, are all the team members going to ride to the tournament in separate vehicles or 6 feet away from each other? We can go on forever!!! Lol

You said, “if he can operate and keep people six feet apart...” speaking of a barber. Uhhh, he can’t keep people six feet apart because he would need to stand within arm’s reach of the person getting a haircut, thereby not keeping people six feet apart. That’s what I was pointing out. In a store, you can theoretically space out lines to keep people six people apart (it doesn’t work very well, but in theory it can happen). You cannot cut someone’s hair from six feet away.

And all team members wouldn’t be six feet apart on the way to their spot, unless they’re going to troll there with one guy in the front of the boat and the other in the back of the boat. Otherwise, they’re sitting right next to each other while using the big motor.

That’s the problem people have with this tournament. It isn’t following social distancing protocol, even if they all ride in separate vehicles. Now, if it was limited to teams being of the same household that would fall under social distancing, but that’s not the case and is impossible to enforce.

The difference between grocery shopping and holding a bass tournament or even going to get a haircut is that people absolutely need food. There is no feasible way around it. Allowing people to fish is feasible, as long as they follow protocol. There is no way to have a team tournament and follow protocol. It’s just not feasible.

*Im not making a commentary on whether or not the tournament should take place. I’m trying to stay neutral on that. I’m just explaining how I see it based on your comparison of barbers and riding in a boat with someone else.

Yes your barber should be allowed to operate. Just because your barber rolled over for that gestapo doesn't mean everyone has to.

Ask Dak and Zeek what they’d do.

Yes we have great leadership right now.. Thank you Lord
