Mild case of PTSD here post-Texas trip.
Texas was full of guns everywhere I went. Christmas presents, AK-47's on the couch at home, my uncle has become a federal arms dealer since I saw him last, and I nearly shot myself while digging through the center console of my mom's car looking for her phone charger and found my hand gripped around a small handgun trigger with the barrel aimed straight at me. Responsible gun ownership FTW.
I handled it as well as possible for the most part.
I started breaking about 5 days into the trip when the Maury show was on the tv in a podunk burger diner my family and I were eating at, and my parents started riffing off ofĀ each otherĀ that we don't need gun control in this country, we need Obama to take trash like the Maury Show off of TV because it incites more violent thoughts Ā than any gun availability to consumers ever could.
The conversation got heated, but there's just no point in trying to argue against a ridiculous point like that. Apparently I am just very naive as to the power Obama has to come into their house, break the lock on their 4'x4'x6' gun safe, and take all their weapons away.
On a different note, my mom was telling my aunt at Christmas dinner that the company that checks my grandmother's pacemaker remotely over the phone semi-regularly had gone out of business last summer because of the new Obamacare laws being in place. This absence of the company was a huge stress on my mom's life apparently. I verified that the company she uses is the same company that I use (I have a pacemaker as well that I get checked over the phone), and then I got really confused because I just had a phone-checkup with them less than a month ago. My mom told me that was impossible and I had no idea what I was talking about because Obama put them out of business.
Thankfully I escaped in one piece. And zoomed up to week 4 in C25K in the process as getting out of the house and running around was the only escape I had from the insanity some days. So one positive came from this trip I suppose.
