Sunfish, you're picking up a vibe that keeps me from aligning with this rally. I think our members ought to dig a little deeper before being so enthusiastic to attend what looks like it's going to be a patriotic Pro 2nd Amendment rally. This NCCPA (National Constitutional Coalition of Patriotic Americans) is publicly affiliated in some way, if only by association, the Three Percent and Oath Keeper organizations which have been classified as hate groups and anti-government separatist groups. From their own "About" page: Red and bold emphasis are mine. If you think that this connection won't be exploited by the media and turned against us, you probably haven't paid much attention to the media lately. It's one thing for an organization completely unassociated with these groups to organize a rally and have some of them unexpectedly show up and hold signs, wear their "colors", etc. In a public setting, you can no more control that than the Far Left and Anti-2A groups can control any of us showing up and peacefully holding up signs supporting the Second Amendment. But it's another thing entirely, in my opinion at least, when the organizers of a rally claim on their own website that they are an affiliation of Three Percent groups and Local Militias, even if that affiliation is "loose". This will completely keep me from being there or showing any support for it. And that's a shame because we still need a good, organized, Pro-2nd Amendment rally.

Will some of yall "like" this post so I can see if I am getting any messages sent to my e-mail? Post to the thread as well. Thanks

With all due respect, your opinion about the liberal mindset is one of the reasons that gun owners are getting trounced in the media right now. Pretty much every anti-gun person that I know with the exception of the youth are college educated and gainfully employed members of society. Underestimating them as “takers” is one of the reasons gun owners are getting our behinds handed to us by teenagers and media. There are a lot of smart people with money behind this movement. Just like we raise our kids to appreciate the gun culture, anti-gunners are raising their kids to despise the culture. Never underestimate your adversary!

We oldster better support youngsters, they will influence the 2020 elections and may figure out they can own the 2024 elections JUNE 25, 2015 — Millennials, or America's youth born between 1982 and 2000, now number 83.1 million and represent more than one quarter of the nation's population. Their size exceeds that of the 75.4 million baby boomers, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates released today.Jun 25, 2015

Leo is awesome.

All the talk of AKs made me want to post my latest project gun, a Bulgarian AK74. Built off a Childer's 80% blank. Not much else to say about it other than it slings brass like no one's business, almost embarrasses my G3.

Vinyl is wonderful. People that actually think they are listening to music are missing out with all this digital crap.

Vermont has some truly beautiful areas, and to think this kind of gun control will be seeded across their great land is disappointing. They were never as a state truly in favor of guns, but their dedication to liberties was consistent in how they treated the 2nd Amendment the same as the others. Sad times if this is signed by their Governor.

What they call history class now has been so perverted with PC ideals and constant reinterpretations the simple recorded facts are quickly being lost. My FIL is a retired history professor (and flaming liberal) and would be the first to agree. Before he retired he constantly bemoaned the “new history”.

The media can't influence the people who don't listen to it or participate in it. You can also trust that when our guns are all gone these college educated gainfully employed anti's are not going to like it when the fascist's dictators show up with a whole new set of rules for them. At best they are near sighted and were not paying any attention in History class.

Has anyone else besides me started looking a little closer at hats that people are wearing? Before the TGO hats became available, I didn't pay any attention to people's hats, but now I find myself actually looking at them.

Cool. Same phone I have. Let me try to replicate the problem.

Yeah, but I'd probably kill myself. That's why I don't reload. It's a good thing to know your limitations.

I hope people are taking notes. I believe this is the 2nd Republican governor to sign new gun control legislation in the past month.

Many big name instructors donated classes for this raffle, and I did too. It's your chance to attend the Tactical Conference or take a class for as little as $25. All proceeds support "The Mingle" which is an event for women in the self defense and shooting community. https://www.auctria.com/ev?site=4568008a-c3d3-4cb5-b323-d8efc2708952 ***Note: I have no financial interest in this event.

I’m using an iPhone 8+

"High capacity" is defined in the bill as >10 for long guns and >15 for handguns

I'm shocked that the main stream media gave these young people the coverage they did. They said it was happening in other schools around the country also but did name any of them.............

If you can tolerate muddling through the horrible presentation that state gives their citizens of legislative actions I think the 10 round may limit is in a house amendment.

My suggestion would be to constantly engage on a civil level on an ongoing basis. I’ve been watching both sides calling names and being reactionary after every crisis. Try engaging when there is no crisis. Emotions are high right now, and no one wants to hear what the other side has to say. There are people totally opposed to guns, and no amount of fund raising or reasoning is going to change their minds. I’m the forum liberal and I’ve had “friends” mock me about gun ownership. I don’t think it’s anyone that I know on this forum, but when we have supporters of the Second Amendment having rallies and open carrying, which is their right in some places, it terrifies hippies. They don’t want to see anyone with guns except the police and military. My opinion is that if we ever get to that place, we may as well be prepared to surrender all of our rights.

Take it on, they're fun and I have all the tools (for the most part) that you need to build one.

I just threw away two garbage bags full of hats a couple of weeks ago so I'm down to about 20 now

If I tried to use a desktop at work, they would go full retard on me.
