Our "job", and national security concerns were done in Afghanistan 8 or 9 years ago. Since then we've been trying to do nation building, which we suck at... A good President would have a simple foreign policy, mess with us and we'll place your country back in the stone age, no power, water, or bridges left standing... then you're on your own to fix the mess. If we had followed that policy, less than 200 troops would have been killed, and it would have saved us almost a trillion dollars of our grandchildren's money.4 points

Shorts aren't exactly quiet out of that short barrel. Even out of a 4.5" barrel shorts will ring your ears. I would grab the new CCI "quiet 22". They use a 40 grain, rather than 29 grain, bullet which hits pretty hard. It also uses as regular sized case so accuracy is good too. Velocity is listed at 710. Dolomite1 point

My son brought this event to my attention and since I always like a challenge I'm thinking about doing it if I can now talk him into it. I'm not much of a runner, but hey it's only 5K (3.1mi). The TN event is in Chapmansboro which is near Ashland City on 3/3/0/12. Plenty of time to get ready. The home page link is below the video and it answers pretty much all your questions. And in case you were wondering, this is not a shooting and running event. It says you can't use weapons to protect you from the undead. Oh well. Who's in? http://www.runforyourlives.com/1 point

As a former police officer myself from another state that issues ZERO handgun permits - Personally, I would REALLY think twice about ---ordering--- a citizen to handle a firearm simply because of liability especially with it being a stressful situation for the permit holder. You have to realize if any accident happens, its ALL on you. Could you see the driver accidentally hitting the horn? There are far too many things that could go wrong. You may want to rethink your routine.1 point

They should focus their energy on practicing propper trigger pulling technique with shotguns in their own mouths. A "respectful proximity" to the ceremony would be them, burning in hell.1 point

Dang, that long ago?!?!? There was a huge spring on my parent's farm, and it was loaded with watercress. They say that watercress only grows in clean water and that it's presence usually means the water is pollution free.1 point

Our fathers and grandfathers understood the concept of total warfare. We seem to have forgotten that the purpose of war is to make the other side bleed enough that they stop or the people force their government to stop. If a government is the representation of its people, then the people are responsible for the actions of that government. If the government has gained power by illegitimate means and is acting contrary to the wishes of its people, the people are still responsible if they grant their approval by failing to take action to the contrary.1 point

I saw it earlier today, pretty effective at getting your attention. I'm not a big fan of the GOP but i'm not any fan of the socialist democratic party. That's why i'm about to head down to the Pegram City Hall and vote early for R.R. While I wish I had a better candidate to vote for the main mission is to get the current Communist in Chief out of the White House.1 point

He didn't let anything slip. He openly said years ago that he wanted to see all semi-auto guns banned. Some people seemed to think that meant assault weapons; he didn't say that and I don't think that's what he meant. I don't think he can get it done, but I don't see how anyone can be surprised when he tries; especially when he doesn't have to worry about getting reelected.1 point

A decent country, which I hope we still are, is never going to "lay waste to everything" in a country because it simply isn't rational or moral to kill innocent people (which is what we would be doing under the scenario above. What I'm saying is, as long as terrorists exist we will need to have intelligence operatives on the ground so that when we are attacked, we know WHO to lay waste to. What we don't need are thousands of our troops billeted in these god-forsaken armpits of the world on a continuing basis to try and save them from themselves.1 point

We've been over this a bunch of times before, it is no longer enough for me to vote against someone. I have to be voting FOR a candidate. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for Romney. There is a better candidate on the ballot and he will receive my vote. I reject as false your assertion that any vote not for Romney is a vote for Obama.1 point

Watercress is usually found in cool spring feed waters in TN. One thing I would like to bring up, half the battle is not finding edible plants but weeding out the poisonous plants. And while something maybe edible it may not be palatable and may actually upset ones digestive system due to not being accustomed to eating natural foods.1 point

Yes, even if they don't show in the polls. The reasoning begin that being having them in a debate with the R and the D gives a clearer picture of the other choices and shows how little difference there really is between the R and D. Both the Libertarian and Green parties would pull significant numbers away from the R&D if given equal access in what is now a rigged debate structure controlled by the R&D parties.1 point

The US doesn't have enough tanks to lock down a couple of our largest cities, let alone the whole US. If you think it'll come to that just to get the guns, might as well toss in tactical nukes too. - OS1 point

You want to solve the illegal aliens, cut off the money. Pass a law that is both continuous and one time, to work in the U.S. you must have a legal state issued birth certificate, both for new employees and existing. Heck my kids must show a notarized birth cerficate to play baseball, why not for work.1 point

Look at the race riots over something as inconsequential as the Rodney King ruling...and while it's true that most of the rioters ruined their own neighborhoods, they still hurt a lot of innocent people. For something as important as losing the Presidency, I'd expect worse and more widespread rioting. Its such a shame that our first black President had to be Obama. There were a lot of others that would have made a fine President. Thomas Sowell for one, though he didnt run, Alan West, Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, any of these would have been good. I think many people will take the opportunity in a riot to just pillage burn and steal. Nashville may have it's own problems too. On a more positive note for black Nashvillians,. Have y'all listened to Carl Boyd on 99.7 on Sunday afternoons? Quite refreshing to hear a local black conservative, and when he talks about Obama, I am so happy to hear the truth!1 point

On my stops we use our judgement on what guns to run. Not once have I ran the sidearm of a legal HCP licensee. In fact, it eases me to an extent to see that the driver is an HCP holder.1 point

Nothing is impossible, guys. The issue with Katrina is that civil unrest was cited as why the police disarmed civilians. If there were a major disaster, man-made (to include economic) or natural, and food supply chains were interrupted, there would be civil unrest as a result of this economy having made people live from paycheck to paycheck. A lot of people do not have more than a weeks worth of food on their shelves. We all forget how ugly society can be when we are competing for supplies. This scenario could provide a distraction & excuse for them to confiscate/ban weapons as a matter of safety. While many police officers and national guardsmen say they are "OathKeepers", when faced with the sight of their brethren being arrested for not following orders, they may fall into line as well. Of course, this is just my humble opinion, but it is feasible.1 point

The simple fact of the matter is that a government cannot gain and sustain enough support for such a move without convincing people it is necessary to fulfill the end of some grand purpose, or transcendent mission (national survival for instance). I find it very unlikely that will be easy to pull off, at least in the short run, so it would be obvious when that process was taking place. Even the rise of the Nazi party in Germany took many years and was in response to dire economic and social circumstances. I'm not saying it couldn't happen here, history shows us it could, but it's not something I'm all too concerned with. The only way it could happen in a rapid manner would be in response to economic collapse and a subsequent social uprising. The sheeple would demand the government go to extreme measures to restore and maintain order, and I could see weapons confiscation to be a central part of that action. It happened to an extent in New Orleans following Katrina. Many gun owners are not hard-core 2nd Amendment supporters to the degree that they would challenge the government, and they would turn their firearms over to the government, likely with the expectation they will be returned at some point. Again, I think this is unlikely, but possible. As a guy who studies genocide and political violence, I have very little faith in the rule of law to protect individual rights in the face of social chaos.1 point

Iv'e read this thread with great interest. Some things to think about: Do any of you believe that Nobama is a greater friend to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights than any candidate that is running against him? Do you believe that Nobama will appoint Constitutionalist justices to any court; especially the Supreme Court? For you mizers; have ya taken a look at how much more or less your dollar will buy today vs a few years ago (....that's if ya have any dollars....). For ya lookin for work in most any industry that pays pretty well (....mining, heavy manufacturing, transportation, etc....); how is the business doin that ya work for? ... better, worse?.... . For ya that are lookin for a job; hows the job market?? Lots to choose from???.... The fact is that ya have two choices on the ballot in november; Nobama and Romney. Ya need to make up your mind who ya are gonna vote for. I already have. All this baloney and grousing about the canditate positions is simply "....pickin the fly s***t out of the pepper...". If ya like keeping the freedoms ya have; you know what to do. If ya like authoritarianism and bein poor(er); ya know what to do. Choose wisely. leroy1 point
