Tiny House Tour in the Mojave Desert

[@reveiweverything4585]

hey bud im 21 and have to say ive been given inspiration by you to follow my american dream great vid keep it up

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Very cool, Austin. Never too late to pursue your dreams... Well, okay, at 21 you might be too old to become an Olympic gymnast or something, but you're plenty young enough for other stuff! LOL

[@RH-rz9tp]

Hi Eric, just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love your tiny house. I have been watching different videos on these for about 5 yrs now. I would love to do the same thing, but I am afraid of being out in the desert alone. I love that your house doesn't have a loft. I am disabled and can't do a ladder or stairs, nor would I want to even if I could. I have a small cast iron stove that I have always hoped would sit next to my rocking chair in a little cabin somewhere, but that doesn't look like it's ever going to happen. Congrats on making your dream come true. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you so much for this. You know, I often complain that there are 2 types of tiny house viewers - those who watch videos to get ideas for doing the same thing and those who merely dream about it. In saying that, I often berate those who only dream, because they tend to be very irritating and judgmental jackasses who constantly share their unsolicited opinions... "I don't like this part of your tiny house..." "I wouldn't have done that..." "This was a waste of space..." "The storage should have been done this way..." Who on earth made them think their opinions were relevant? Why do they presume their fantasies are an improvement over the reality of a strangers life? But... This comment from you just gave me a whole new perspective. Maybe there is a third category of viewers out there. Namely, people like you. People who have issues and problems in their life, which might physically hamper their ability to live this way. So, unfortunately, they are only able to dream. Not because they lack courage or resolve, but because circumstances beyond their control are dictating their limitations. Fate is preventing them from creating the reality they want... Thank you. You've opened up my eyes to a possibility I hadn't considered.

[@terracethornhill]

If I had a patch of desert, I'd plant it with ironwood. It's not the fastest growing tree, but it's supremely drought tolerant and quite valuable. Not only would it vastly increase the value of the property, having some shade helps keep your brain from baking in the sun, an important consideration when living in the desert.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thanks for the tip!

[@susannethorn1997]

I live in the desert. Ironwood omly grows where there is plenty of water for them you see them closely to springs or where the groundwater is not too far away. As for shade, not in your lifetime

[@benjamingoulet8059]

Susanne Thorn thank you, I’ll rule that one out lol. 40 acres of high desert in central Washington . Little water and no wind blockage or shade trees...

[@Psyberify]

I recommend Bur Oak for dry, sandy areas.

[@foxmulder7616]

​@@susannethorn1997ironwood grows in dry washes. And yeah not much shade unless you're right underneath it, and there are sharp thorns like cactus. They're legumes too , they're great eating, pea trees like palo Verde. and one of the densest wood types. I don't know if they grow that far north though.. I don't think they like the cold.

[@70rosebud]

Wonderful, thank you so much for the tour and your time, I just loved your house, and the way you explained everything, you are so clever and full of fabulous ideas. Don't you get lonely? I am from New Zealand in the South Pacific area, and am a 78 year old great grandmother, and I really enjoyed watching your videos, I would love to have done something as daring as you have, when I was younger, but mothering was my thing, have been widowed for 40 years now, and don't keep the best of health, but still have all my marbles and memories lol, have a wonderful, enjoyable, creative, adventurous life ❤️🙅🙏👏👏👏

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you, ma'am. I really appreciate your comment. Do I get lonely? Not at all. I always say loneliness is determined by the substance of our relationships, not our physical proximity to people. After all, there are many lonely people out there, living in cities all around the world. Even though they are surrounded by people all the time, they get lonely, because the people in their lives hold no value. Like so many American citizens, I became introduced to the splendor of New Zealand through Peter Jackson and the _Lord Of The Rings_ films. You have a very beautiful country. Maybe you didn't do something as daring as I am doing, but don't underestimate the courage of motherhood. Raising human beings, and doing your best to instill them with character and virtue, is a very noble way to live a life. Sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. That's a very young age to lose someone. But it sounds like you have continued to live a life of joy and optimism, and I'm sure he's proud of you for that. Thank you again for your comment and God bless you for being a kind and warm soul in a weary world.

[@babeena_gt_3645]

Very nice , how often do you get your water supply to wash

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Usually lasts 3 to 4 months, depending on how much I conserve.

[@MrMoises27]

Hi, can you post a video explaining the process of your composing toilet? I like to know more what and how you deal with that, thanks. Nice video.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Absolutely. I still plan to create a more "technical" video. Until then, if you want to see a great video on composting toilets, check out the KZbin channel called _Gone With The Wynns_ and their video called "How to Prep and Dump a Composting Toilet". That video really helped me to understand them before I got one. Thank you for watching!

[@TiffYG2133]

I really like the bathroom layout!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you! I like it too. I was very nervous about it because I have never seen anyone do it that way before. It looked good on paper, but that didn't mean it would work in real life. I was happy when it came together and wasn't too cramped.

[@Kristyrich77]

You did a very nice presentation. You need a companion out there in that lonely desert! I hope you have friends close by but if not, technology is a good 2nd inspiration. Be blessed.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Companion? Demi Lovato is welcome to move in with me anytime she wants! Thanks for watching.

[@Kristyrich77]

I sure hope Demi will see this! Good luck and get that ring ready!!!! LOL!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

LOL Thank you. You have much more faith than me!

[@largemarge1603]

Kristy, I saw your "...2nd...", and my brains read it as 'tuned'. One tuned inspiration, coming right up!

[@Brova420]

I've often asked myself, "Why can't you just do things normal and traditional?" I'm now more motivated, than ever, to keep dreaming my way!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

No one who is normal or traditional ever changed the world.

[@bajamike3803]

I love the desert, it’s so beautiful. I hope to move near a desert state one day.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I never expected I would. Keep striving and you'll get there.

[@Brova420]

This was an awesome introduction and production to building a tiny home, or RV reno! Love the way you think and explain things! Janell

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Glad you enjoyed it. This video is the simple one. There are many others on technical information for people who want to create this kind of reality, instead of just dream about it.

[@CleoCoal]

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I thought you really talked like that. LOL. That’s a really nice setup you have. Subscribed.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. One of the funniest jokes I have ever seen in a movie was when the albino in _The Princess Bride_ talks in that hoarse voice, then clears his throat, and his voice changes completely. I first saw that when I was about 17 years old and laughed my butt off.

[@rdlewis3616]

I am happy for you. We are never wrong when we follow our inner voice.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

That is true. Although sometimes we can misunderstand what it's telling us!

[@lukeshepard1253]

Eric i want to see more of your skateboarding videos

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you so much. I absolutely love making skateboarding videos and I miss skateboarding immensely. I need to get back into skating 2 or 3 times a week, instead of once a month. But, as you can imagine, a project like Luthorville took up massive amounts of my time for planning and researching and organizing. Now that I am more settled, I'd love to make skate videos again. I just need to find the time. Thank you again for watching my stuff!

[@vlucidity]

I watched you other video talking about everything thinking it was eventually going to show the inside lol..it didnt ..anyhow I found this one lol.. also why do you wear hot jacket in dessert??

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Yes, I wanted to divide the two into separate presentations. One thing I have learned about the "tiny house" audience; there are 2 types of people who watch these videos. 1. Those who think tiny houses are "cute". 2. Those who intend to build one. The "cute" group just want "tours" and don't care about technical information. The "builder" group doesn't care about "tours" and just want to know technical data. As for the jacket, it keeps the sun off me. Check out my _Why do you dress like a cowboy?_ video.

[@vlucidity]

Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House ok great I will..I like watching you.

[@chuckgregory6453]

Hey man, I agree ! That's a really nice tiny home you have. Smart and living free. CONGRATS!!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting. I appreciate your feedback.

[@primadonnagoingoffgrid4313]

I am so happy your dream is being realized. I have spent the last couple days watching your videos from the beginning up to now and the whole experience has brought me so much hope and inspiration. I am doing the same kind of thing-a WIP and was coming to the point of feeling like a hopeless failure. Watching your journey has really rewired my attitude and I now realize that bumps, obstacles and challenges are just that and NOT failure. It's a hope to see as you worked through them. I look at my list of videos and see how much I have in common with you as far as the whole move in mess, paring down, feelings and some fear involved. I am not where I want to be yet, but have some wonderful people in my life that are of great help and support! After seeing your journey, I have no doubt I will get there, though the journey will NOT be exactly the way I expect it to be. So much congrats and wishing you continued success.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you very much for leaving a comment. I never imagine many people take the time to watch all of my videos, or even a majority of them. But, you are 100% correct - if a viewer wants to truly grasp my "journey", they need to watch all of it. I am glad my efforts have inspired you. And you are right - setbacks are not failure. Quitting is failure. The question is, will your setbacks make you quit, or will you pick yourself up and overcome those setbacks? And, yes, the journey is NEVER what you expect. The journey NEVER goes as you planned or as you visualized it. There will be things you think are easy, and they will become huge obstacles. There will be things you dread for fear they will be difficult, and you will find they were nothing to worry about. Just stick with it. Keep that goal in your mind. Keep heading toward it. Failure is not an option. You will get there.

[@MrJojo8675]

Bro, you have a huge heart and tons of courage. Congratulations, to you for all that you accomplished, thus far. I lived near there '85 - '94; I couldn't support myself, so I had to move. I know I'm going to make it back and live there, again. Tell Heidi at the Inn, that Hank's old friend from Chicago, Joe said, "Hi".

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you for the kind comment, Joe. I have no idea what the "Inn" is, but I wish you well in your ambition to return to the Mojave.

[@MrJojo8675]

Aren't you familiar with the 29 Palms Inn?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I just looked it up. Never been there. Remember, the Mojave Desert covers nearly 50,000 square miles. The desert is slightly smaller than the entire state of New York.

No lounge chair, and didn't see the inside of the shed. Also why was the foot of the bed looking so stacked high? Great upload.

It doesn't suck.

[@bonniegarber9915]

Have you considered a wind mill for water and power? Very interesting, your videos! Thanks

[@LuthorvilleCA]

The goal was to have everything self-contained on the trailer. Building external structures would make a project like this incredibly easy. I wanted the challenge of keeping it all the systems on one vehicle.

[@frankbarajas]

Awesome home and it clearly appears to be very well designed. Well done. I'm curious about one thing; what is the white power around your tires?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. The white powder? Diatomaceous earth. Kills bugs.

[@frankbarajas]

I have used it before, but never thought to use it around the tires. Great idea! Thanks!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

You're welcome. Yep, use it around all the contact points on the ground and kill the critters before they gain entry in the first place. Preventative maintenance.

[@Lifeformhuman]

Great intro!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thanks!

[@smug8567]

My 7 year old daughter recently discovered your channel and she is addicted! But she also likes boils.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Although the technical things may be boring for children, keeping the content kid-friendly is always my goal.

[@womanofGod641]

I enjoyed your video but my question is, don't you freak out at night ? What animals have you observed there at night especially when there's moonlight? I worry that you can be ambushed at night the wild west style. Is it risky to be there at night? Have you ever had a stranger stray into your location ?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I get these questions very frequently. There are coyotes. Most of the time, they will run away if they see you. They are the only animals that could potentially attack you. There are also mountain lions and bears in California, but they rarely wander into the desert. While I have seen a stranger or two, they are usually harmless folks out riding an ATV on the weekends. As for dangerous people, there are not many criminals looking to rob trailers in the desert. Why would they? Most desert dwellers are both poor and armed. Not exactly the kind of target you would want to burglarize.

[@womanofGod641]

Oh ok ,and thanks for your replies ,I must have watched lots of Wild Wests then lol. Anyway your little house was awesome ,i loved it and watch your videos all the time .I bumped on your channel while watching RV's .

[@sonofamountain2862]

My question to you is why are there white circles around the base of the tires of your trailer?? Is it salt? It’s driving me crazy ,in a curious way.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Diatomaceous earth. A non-toxic way to keep out insects. The problem is, rain and wind make it vanish very easily.

[@jeffreygreer]

so whatcha gunna eat out there or do you run to baker for grub in that truck

[@LuthorvilleCA]

There are grocery stores. This is the desert, not Arrakis.

[@hawkins413]

How do you lock everything down for when you move the trailer? What is that powder around the trailer wheels? Did you build the little steps in front of the front door? Have you ever had people driving through your property using the road system that goes through your property? Are you okay with people doing that? It looks nice, congratulations on accomplishing another one of your dreams.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

*How do you lock everything down for when you move the trailer?* That is a process. Takes some time, just like any RV. *What is that powder around the trailer wheels?* Diatomaceous earth to keep insects out. *Did you build the little steps in front of the front door?* No. The builder made those. They are temporary. I want better ones. *Have you ever had people driving through your property using the road system that goes through your property? Are you okay with people doing that?* Some roads on my land are public roads and some are private. I prefer people to not drive on my private roads, but I can't stop anyone from driving on public ones. Even my public roads often go for days, sometimes over a week, without any traffic whatsoever. Thanks for watching!

It’s kinda hard to believe anybody would stay all day in the Mojave during the summer. It’s literally the hottest spot on the planet. How do you stay cool? Where do you get water? My comments are not intended to speak negatively towards you, being a former desert dweller myself.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I can get the indoor temperature 20 degrees cooler than the outside. So, even when it hits 105 outside, the inside can get down to 85. Not bad at all. I can refill at an RV park for water.

[@timlombardini3556]

How do you get it twenty degrees cooler inside? How far do you go to fetch water at RV park? Do you live at that place 24/7 ? Can you show a video or pic of everything set up with you living there?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Insulation and the minisplit are enough to cool it down. There are many RV parks within a short distance. I do spend time in my tiny house and I have numerous videos showing the build, setup and layout.

Solar power is challenging at times here In the PNW. Thanks for the video!

Solar is a challenge in December, even in the desert. Otherwise, it works pretty well. I grew up in Ohio, so I know all about snow and rain. No thanks! Done with that! Sounds like you have a nice place up there. Thanks for watching and commenting.

What was the total cost of your Tiny House?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

$60K including the $10K trailer. But remember, I hired a builder. It would be less to do it yourself.

[@bondpaz]

What do you do with your trash? I've been watching many people's videos for tiny houses and i don't recall anyone mentioning it.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Excellent question. I usually go to an RV park and pay the dump fee they charge for blackwater dumps and just throw out my trash.

Interesting. So have you made a video showing off your line-less landline phone? I'm afraid I've only seen just this one vid of yours...

Is that a real Colt single action or clone? Being you're in California I have to ask such stupid questions. I would not be surprised if that's not allowed in Cali because it does not have a lawyer lock on it.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

That's not a stupid question. Colt isn't the only company that makes a single action. Uberti. Ruger. Cimarron. Heritage Manufacturing. And more. There are a lot of them out there. Colt is a bit out of my pricerange.

[@msr933]

That is Nice !!! 😎😎😎

[@jrr...9356]

Mucho funny... Bravo...

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@whisperaude8057]

Love it great.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you for checking it out.

[@janebarbour405]

Great video. I’m probably old enough to your grandmother 😂. If you are 34 or younger! You are correct, that’s what I like about your video, you got to the point of what I enjoy about tiny houses! Now if you’d do a cooking video from the desert 🌵! 😎😂

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you, kindly, Jane. I appreciate that. I have no plans to do a cooking video. You have to remember, I am heterosexual bachelor, which means my version of "cooking" is to heat up soup or make some rice. You wouldn't find my methods very educational.

[@arcanamystic]

Eric , Any good Rockhounding spots near you? I'm in Los Angeles. Lets hang out bud. Message me.

[@arcanamystic]

Didn't realize you ride motorcycles! Me too ! How are you holding up with the weather lol?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I'm not into rock collecting, so I wouldn't know about that kind of thing. The weather isn't bad. Just have to be cautious of the heat. Thanks for watching. I don't really have much freetime, but thanks for the invite.

[@arcanamystic]

Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House Man... Eric the best part about being out there is rockhounding. If you decide to hang out sometime let me know maybe you can tell me more about your projects. I'm in real estate and mortgages maybe we can figure a plan for luthorville. I thought about going out to Oregon or NorCal and trying this out. I'm a crystal collector www.spiritualresurrection.com

[@Ajkwhatsahandle]

I like your great desire to invest in raw land!

[@MrJojo8675]

Are you looking at the option of drilling a water well?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I have done research on that and have another video regarding that topic.

[@rwdplz1]

I was just going to ask this! Living in the middle of the desert, it seems like the best investment you could make in the property would be to drill a well and have good, easy access to water? Looking forward to the video.

[@brucebrothers9953]

Loved the accents at the end.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thanks. I can't take myself too seriously!

[@mishawakapost2681]

Peter the Great enjoyed staying in his cabin.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Indeed, even a Russian Tsar can enjoy a 650 sq ft cabin.

[@WaterDrive1]

Never quit your day dreams!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

This project wouldn't exist if I did.

[@kenlowder6932]

We’ve got plenty of land here around El Paso Texas just like this. Cheaper than around there too. Come on over. Check lands of Texas El Paso area.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I researched land all over the country. I have a very good idea of what is available. There are some nice places in Texas.

[@mishawakapost2681]

I think Clint Howard should play you, Eric, in the Luthorville movie, unless you play yourself.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Given the choice, I'd prefer Zac Efron or Dwayne Johnson.

[@mishawakapost2681]

Scott Eastwood or Brendan Wayne would also be appropriate. The former is Clint Eastwood's son and the latter is John Wayne's grandson, who has starred in Westerns.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

See? Now you got the idea.

[@Brova420]

I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but your view looks straight of of the movie Tremors!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Never saw it. I'm more of a John Ford person myself.

[@jakeweston8616]

So what happened to the pretty blonde?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Hiring a cohost is like having a girlfriend - I usually can't afford to keep one around.

[@jakeweston8616]

Hey what is the property tax like there in CA?

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Like anywhere else, that depends on what is on the property and the size. You own a tiny, empty plot in the middle of nowhere, taxes are cheap. You own several acres in Beverly Hills, it will be expensive as heck.

[@jakeweston8616]

Well what I meant was in the county where Lutherville is. Say 40 acres or so.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Again, that is not an easy question to answer. 40 acres on a paved road with utilities and a big ranch could have huge taxes. 40 acres that is miles away from a paved road and is just raw land might be $200 in taxes. There are many variables which can change the tax value by thousands of dollars: How accessible is it? How many utilities are there? What is built upon the land? All of these things can make your taxes $100 a year or $3000 a year.

[@DavidREllisAZ]

Love your set up, it's what I am going to down size to real soon, it's over a 100f and your wearing a jacket. And wearing a gun belt, why not get a holster that slips over your pant belt, less weight, I would love to live in the desert with no one around 👍

[@LuthorvilleCA]

The best thing about living in the desert with no one around is that no one tells you how to dress.

[@michellec4857]

Bahaha the accents tho! Thanks for sharing!!

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for checking it out!

[@silentexe1399]

I lived in desert in aneth put idk where I’m going to do on my own i decide where i going to live in land put im native

[@ohduana6746]

LOL at the first minute and a half

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Sure beats that ukulele music all the other tiny house videos use, doesn't it? LOL

[@ReggieTime]

so funny!!! gosh its hot"

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it entertaining.

America is the most beautiful place on this earth

Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House Congratulations on achieving your dreams man, I can only hope to work hard enough to achieve my own

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I have accomplished many dreams in my life. I can tell you two things about that. 1. With patience and determination, you can always get there. 2. You will never get there as quickly as you hope. It always takes longer than you anticipate.

[@anobody6234]

Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House Thanks man, to be honest it’s probably more inspirational to me than you’d think.

[@shellymenzies841]

Planet Earth is all beautiful...just the humans that are the problem ;-)

[@rbstorms]

Upvoted for NRA hat! I love that people keep asking what the white stuff is without reading the other comments, first. I grew up in Lompoc, CA, which has one of the largest diatomaceous earth mines in the world. I had heard of cockroaches, but never saw one until I moved to Santa Barbara. My wife and I had terrible problems being overrun with cockroaches, no matter how much we cleaned. We found out that the neighbor below us was refusing the exterminator service! One day we were talking to the neighbors, a couple of guys in their 30s with pizza boxes, empty beer and soda cans, and dishes clogging their sink... and asked them how they dealt with the bugs. "We don't have any." What??? And then he showed me the baggie of white powder. Being in Santa Barbara during the 1980's, I asked, "What? Do you give them a tiny rolled-up dollar bill and expect them to snort it? Then what?" He then told me about diatomaceous earth, and how it completely cured their roach problem (the insects, anyway). I asked some scientists about it, and they said there were a couple of components at work. The tiny razor-sharp edges in the material, and the super-fine powder. As the roaches crawl through it, it sticks to their legs and underbelly. Then they crawl over and around each other getting it spread all over the other roaches. The fine powder can clog their exoskeleton, suffocating them, and the sharp jagged edges gets in their joints and tears them apart. Either way, a wonderfully gruesome end to roaches, and other insects in your home.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Thank you for the comment and the upvote. Diatomaceous earth keeps away insects and the NRA hate keeps away hippies. LOL The other way the diatomaceous earth works is that it dehydrates the insects. Their exoskeletons also keep all the moisture in their bodies. The cutting action of the powder causes the moisture to escape.

[@madeinmichigan6773]

I am glad that everyone has their own idea of the American Dream Lol! Please tell me thst there is not a female that lives there? It definitely looks like a guy's home for sure. I like some of it and not ? Lol!! Idk? Love in intro though. Too bad the entire series couldn't be like a tiny movie series lol!!! Have a wonderful life in it 😉

[@LuthorvilleCA]

No, ma'am. No lady lives with me. Mine isn't the kind of life a 21st century woman could handle sharing. Now, if you could find me a nice 18th century girl, she'd think this house was the lap of luxury!

[@nickbarrett7163]

lol Jon Cryer voice

[@marrier9999]

When it's thees hawt out... don't wear a jean jacket.

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Okay.

[@aryanmeghwanshi947]

Give me for a day on rent......

[@babeena_gt_3645]

😂🤣 its 100 out and you wear a jacket

[@LuthorvilleCA]

Long sleeves keep the sun off your skin.

[@timothythomas1345]

I am in fact looking for rural land this is why your video came up in my suggestions . On the Californias peoples rights . I think that if the firearms companies hadn't made every compromise in the guns to suit that of the ridiculous restrictions that never stop . That the people wouldn't had stayed in the pot . As it would have boiled quicker . There is a reason for the gradual stripping of rights and restrictions . And I even believe that the huge gun manufacturers coordinate with the state to make the go along to get along comprises . If for no other reason but to make the peasants feel like they won or got over of the man when they never won anything . The reason for the slow gradual 20 + years of raping the second amendment as well as others including the first . Is EASY . FROG IN THE POT & Make them feel they won when they lost . If one has the patience they can control and or rule in any way they please

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I disagree. I don't blame firearm manufacturers _at all_. You honestly think the firearms makers WANT to change countless features on their guns, just to be able to sell them in California? Of course not. That costs them money in R&D and retooling. They don't want to compromise or change. Costs them profits to do that. The blame rests in 2 groups of people: a.) Apathetic gun owners who fail to vote or raise their voices in protest against draconian gun laws. b.) The liberal media who are _constantly_ brainwashing the public with negative rhetoric about firearms. Those 2 groups of people allow politicians to restrict guns. The firearms manufacturers are NOT to blame at all. They are just attempting to comply with the asinine laws, so they don't lose sales.

[@bambangagung5040]

why live there ?, No hope in that land

[@LuthorvilleCA]

The Hamakhaave were not a hopeless people.

Isn't it funny people still say that? It's as if they don't know how to fast forward a KZbin video.
