  1. They are usually about $100. Yes, they have to go through an FFL.
  2. Interesting watch. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the others.
  3. I am in support of Planned Parenthood, ACLU, and I'm in favor of gay marriage/civil unions. I will not be voting for a Democrat in the upcoming presidential election.
  4. Here are at least some of the threads regarding his build. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/49474-pictures-of-the-lightweight-ar-i-just-built/ http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/49052-my-lightweight-ar-build-second-thread/
  5. You may want to talk to Dolomite_supafly. If I remember correctly, he just built an ultra-light AR, or is maybe in the process.
  6. As far as the actual price differences between gun stores are concerned, there are likely many factors, just like any other business. It's up to you to figure out who has "legitimate" reasons for being more expensive, and those who have ridiculously inflated prices just because they know there are plenty of ignorant people who are willing to pay whatever they are asking. I generally don't price-haggle when shopping for a firearm. I've done my research long before I step foot into their store. I know what the average price is, and if they aren't within a certian range, I walk out. This is another advantage of buying online; you don't have to haggle. The online store has the price listed, and you already know it's their bottom dollar. I've purchased both online and through local vendors. Generally speaking, if I'm looking for an ordinary and readily available item, I usually look for the savings online. I don't take into account the tax savings. If I'm having a difficult time locating a specific item or need to utilize their expertise, I'm willing to pay extra for the services of a local shop. For example, I needed some one-on-one time with Joe from Hero Gear when building my first AR-15. For his knowledge and amazing customer service, I was willing to buy everything through him, rather than saving a chunk of change by purchasing the components online. Another example would be when I purchased my Smith & Wesson M & P Pro Series. I was having a difficult time finding one, so I utilized the knowledge and customer service of the guys at D & T Arms. Because they took the time to hunt down the M & P I was looking for, I was willing to pay more than I would have if I had waited to locate one online. While there, I even purchased a couple holsters and magazines that not only could I have found cheaper online, I could have purchased quite a bit cheaper at my local Academy Sports & Outdoors. If you know exatly what you're looking for, in most cases, there's generally not a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to customer service. Unlike your average returnable/exchangeable Wal-Mart purchase, if you have an issue with a firearm you've purchased from a local gun store, you're almost always left dealing with the manufacturer. Some gun stores are kinder and gentler and more sympathetic than others, but almost always will they tell you that there's nothing they can do about it, call the manufacturer. Oh, and just like the MSRP on almost anything else, the MSRP means very little to me when purchasing a firearm. With the invention of the internet, it takes only a few short minutes to figure out an average selling price of whatever it is you're looking for. In my opinion, the MSRP is just an inflated number to make you feel like you're getting some kind of great deal.
  7. Your marriage is gay. Your religion is gay. So there.
  8. With the divorce rate of first marriages hovering around 40%-50%, second marriages hovering around 60%, and third marriages hovering around 70%, it appears the straight folks have already done more than their fair share of watering down the religious meaning of marriage.
  9. One thing is for sure, many religious folks and them homosexuals have at least one thing in common; they love cramming stuff down someone's throat.
  10. I have a 13-year-old daughter in 8th grade (middle school), and she claims that, at no time, has any faculty member told them that it was or wasn't OK to be gay. She says that she doesn't recall the subject ever being discussed.
  11. Yeah, just like they did when it finally became normal for 5-year-old white girls to have "relations" with those yucky black boys.
  12. Homosexual relationships are no more or less about sexualization than a heterosexual relationship. Most all relationships involve at least some sexualization, which is why most people choose a mate they are attracted to, hetero or homo.
  13. It's strange to me how some of you automatically sexualize gay relationships. All this talk about them keeping it "private" and "in their bedroom" is odd, because shouldn't that automatically go for all people? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a gay couple doing anything inappropriate while in public. I can't say the same for some heterosexual couples. Then again, what's inappropriate to one may not be to another. Just like there are a few of those flamboyant and in-your-face gay couples (can't remember the last time I saw one that wasn't on TV), there are those heterosexuals that find it perfectly acceptable to suck face and play grab-ass in the middle of a crowded mall.
  14. They just wanted to push him around and give him a hard time. The .fed can legally harass anyone who may be getting too big for their britches.
  15. You all better watch your mouths, or the same thing can happen to you. The fact that he was released will not prevent this very same thing from happening to countless other U.S. Citizens on a daily basis. Those with the authority to make such decisions don't really have to answer to anyone, and there certainly aren't any consequences to fear.
  16. Although I'm not "pushing" for anything, I believe a gay person should have the same exact rights and opportunities as us regular folk. With that being said, I don't fit into any of your above mentioned generalities.
  17. With a mindset like that, it's all fun and games until you find yourself in the minority. Don't think it can't or won't happen.
  18. The author obviously has a hard-on for big, bad paleface. It's equally obvious he purposely ignored the fact that a vast majority of the "nightly shootings" in Nashville are at the hands those other than that of the cracker descent.
  19. Congratulations, David. Here's to many more successful years ahead. :beer:
