Oh Shoot

  Well, that's a new wrinkle, I must say.   - OS

  No, and still based in Italy ... since 250 years before we were a country. :)   - OS

  Yeah, I've read all the various iterations over the last year, but fact seems to be that not one company has been sold out of Freedom Group, let alone the whole conglomerate, so we can only guess at the real reasons at this point. But as always, follow the money -- the teachers union thing may have proved to simply be a canard, for example, and not as important to the bottom line as other considerations, or the union didn't have the power to decide the investment strategy of their pension investments , or whatever.   - OS

S&W and Ruger have already announced they won't even be attempting to market handguns in Kali anymore.   - OS

  Cerberus made announcement was looking for buyer for entire Freedom Group shortly after Sandy Hook in 2012, but never heard anything going to fruition about that, and is mentioned at least in Wiki that as of last of 2013 had not done so.   My guess, Freedom Group making beau coup bucks, and Cerberus has let whole thing slide once press calmed down.   - OS

They seem to deem it a successful test or something, still chorus of God Is Great afterwards?   - OS

Remington is not putting all its eggs in one basket, even in the South - NC, KY, AR, GA, AL.   - OS

Was letting you post first. But, the pic was indeed convincing, a Face Book screen grab or something, even a pro could have been fooled, especially since it's a black one. ;) - OS

  Well, that would sure look appropriate, anyway. ;)   - OS

  Yep, a primary guiding principle that has been validated much more often than not.   - OS

  I pinged them all too. But don't necessarily share the confidence.   - OS

Thing is so muddled now,  not sure what to tell any of them exactly what to support.   - OS

  I don't have a lot of luck getting stuff off my antique phone, but maybe --  I'll PM you my email address and you can send to that I imagine, if not will send phone # also.   - OS

  You know any of them will fire when the trigger is pulled, not just that Bad One you got rid of, right?  ;)   - OS

I need some of them hot glowing bullets, how you keep them up to temp? ;) - OS

  Yeah, but there ain't enough with that kind of stash to support a separate forum. ;)   Actually, I like the idea fine also; I have various .22LR rifles and handguns and do indeed think of rimfire as a distinctly separate genre of gundom.   On the other hand, the long gun and handgun forums aren't really overwhelmed seems, and I'm sure there would still be plenty of scattered postings outside a rimfire section.   - OS

Maybe after there's rimfire ammo available again. :)   - OS

You have to check PSA daily and strike while the iron is hot.   - OS

Kept up with it in watched items just for the helluvit. Guy finally gave up, after running it FIVE times. Never did list it for less, so he's still quite proud of it I guess.   - OS

Lots of eyewitness accounts of alien abduction and Big Foot, too. Gotta watch out for them hoop snakes though, especially downhill. I notice you didn't post the pic. But of course I believe you anyway. - OS

  Rep. Steve Stockman -- said he's "considering it". Likely just a campaign statement, as he's trying unseat  Senator John Cornyn, also a Repbulican, in '14. Very dirty campaign underway there already. 'Course, any member of the House can "draw up the papers" any time, I guess.   I'd say that there really is a decent chance of impeachment if the Senate goes GOP this year, which I wouldn't have thought possible a year ago, but seems as if there's a 50/50 chance of that right now.   - OS

So, to spare me the research, what's next? Was there any mandate/time span to get things cranking on changes to the permit program out there, like what happened in IL?   Is there a Federal Appeal court above the District ones, or what?   - OS

  Amen. No gun is a quicker defense than your feet, or in this case your horse's hooves. Otherwise you're just killing a snake because you want to.   - OS

  No, they're not "here". Something about just being incorporated in TN with a PO box address here, for whatever reason. Our own Linoge says that Ammo.net, BulkAmmo.com, AmmoforSale.com, GunsForSale.com, and Military Ballistic Industries and Lucky Gunner are all the same biz entity.   http://www.wallsofthecity.net/?s=lucky+gunner&submit.x=0&submit.y=0   I think they're really in Atlanta -- somebody who has ordered from them can perhaps verify where it was shipped from.   - OS

  Which decreases the number of ineligible people carrying just how?   - OS
