  1. Some people know just enough to be dangerous ... like the old guy. The two verses you used are often used and usually completley out of context. As far as the murder verse, the Hebrew is very clear about what constitutes murder. Killing, war, death penalty etc were all different words and would never be confused with the term for murder. It is an English translation "error" that is not often addressed that casues the problems. The forgiveness principle in the first verse had to do with a cultural understanding dealing with the Romans in Jewish culture and how a slave with spiritual "freedom" should respond to a culture that had not embraced their new found spiritual freedom. IT was bridging the gap between being spiritually free while being culturally enslaved.
  2. Come on Webster! I wasn't giving the definition but rather the constitutional principle of amendments the constitution lays out. They are a way to make changes but were never intended to change the original principles. BTW - My spell check at work doen't work as well as at home. Grammar Nazi!
  3. I am proudly on the right and the words you choose were wrong even though your intentions were right. It makes a difference. The so called "middle" is a place for people who don't know what they believe or why they believe it. I care as much for the super rich as I do for the lowest as I do for the middle. If you tend towards a specific group you need to re-read your post about the solid principles of the contitution. It affords the same rights for all. Regardless of position, race, belief, or any other subjective stance. We have as much representation as we have choosen to give up. It wasn't taken from us, we gave it away becasue of complacency. Ammended means added to - not clarified, not reinterpreted, not a change of original thought. The contitution also allows for ammendments.
  4. I understand that, but common usage has those terms meaning the complete opposite of your intentions. The leftist use those terms to mean that it is ever changing and evolving (or growing) as we out smart the generations that came before us. Just saying.
  5. The Constitution is not a living breathing document. It is a solid statement of principles that do not change with the desires or cultural wishes of a particular generation ..... Thank GOD! There is one principle that we apply to where we are but not the other way around. The "living/breathing" mentality is why parties can claim polar opposites of the document as "right". BIG mistake on the authors part. Other than that I agree with most of the rest.

    Lowers..

    The state only allows 5 guns on one BC and then you have to sumbit another BC for the next five and so on. The transfer fee is ca conveinece charge from the store doing the transfer and I told that varies in this area.
  7. I've got 8 coming (4 kids four adults). I think my membership has lapsed anyone know what the cost is going to be and do we have to buy memberships? Looking forward to finally making it to one of these.
  8. They did, but Mr. Kazner is reorganizing and planning to reopen at Shot 2012. At least this is what he indicated on AR15.com. It will be a welcome back for a lot of good imports. I hope they bring back the CD HiPower as well as the Tavor! I've been watching this thread over on ar15 and I could almost see Charles having a heart attack getting so excited!
  9. Yep, small accounts are where a lot of the car, refinance, personal, LOC, etc loans origninate but buisness and large loans need large acoounts to make those possible. So big loans need large accounts so that small buisness can get the loans to pay employees who use smaller accounts to fund the smaller loans. It is a nifty little circle working there. I just don't understand why some folks can't see the forest for the trees. Sure there is abuse on both ends. The welfare and the rich end. However, the rich abuse still puts out net positives in our economic system. The low end .... all they can do is take.
  10. Yes. It can still work at certain times and is really cool when the enviromental factors are right. It works by evaporation cooling the air. If it is too humid then the moisture can't evaporate fast enough to cool the air.
  11. Blaming Facebook for unproductivity and the decline of our students academics is like blaming guns for killings and spoons for Rosie O'Donnels fatness. Again, nobody is forced to speculate in the market. The market for the most part is fairly stable untill the feds pump out monopoly money. That is the real problem with the market ... the government, not buisness and investors.
  12. Earp, what exactly are "they" supposed to give back? It is business and the reason America has prospered beyond the rest of the world. Workers work and get paid in return. They are then able to buy and "earn" more than they produced by investing. The risk is directly tied to the reward. Nobody put a gun to anyones head and the money is easily liquidated at the customers convenience. IN fact if you look back to the Great Depression, statistically speaking, if people had left their money in the market they would have not only made back what they lost they would have gained 10% in as little as 5-10 years after the collapse. The vast majority of millionaires in this country are 1 generation millionaires. It is that reinvested money that makes it able for you and me to get a loan and buy a house or start a business and have the potential to become the next millionaire in the richest, nicest, most prosperous country in the world. I'd say "they" have given back. As far as the "attacks", near sighted revolutionary anarchist are how Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, and Obama got in charge.
  13. This works ... if you're in Arizona. There is a reason we don't use swamp coolers except in arid regions
  14. I'm told you can call S&W and they will send you one for free.
  15. I used a Vortex SPARC and really liked it. It comes with multiple mounts and a magnifyer all for >$200. Hard to beat for that money.
  16. I wish. I sold my AK to pay bills so the only one I have is the Mosin! Man, I miss that gun!
  17. Maybe some of you LEO's can clarrify but why where they trying to enter the house if they believed there was an armed individual inside? I've never heard of that being SOP, especially when they can see the guy through the door. Secondly, shooting through a barrier I think is going be probalmatic for the LE. Good shoot or not, it seems that the cops could have given more space, which they are taught to do, instead of closing the gap unecessarily. That of course assumes they had no reason to beleive anyone else was inside. Story doens't indicate. Just thought I'd post some thoughts from the other side.
  18. Both are great guns and were proven in the military test. The only real difference is that the FNP-45 is a HUGE gun. The M&P45 is realatively small feeling for a full size gun. It has a very similar feel to the M&P9/40, which was surprising.
  19. I'm going to try and make it with a few people. Possibly 6, including myself.
  20. 900
  21. double tap
  22. Walther has the same thing. Their demo's of the P99 at Shot Show had them. Evidently it's only for Europe.
  23. Good choice on the 7.62x39. It just feels more fun shooting than the 5.45. That being said the 5.45 is a nasty round.
  24. Well, that was a Hyosung GV250 (an excellent bike for the $!) and it bought me the Vstar with louder pipes!
  25. The Yamaha Vstar 650 is what you are describing. I have one and love it. I can keep up with any cruiser on the interstate and it is very easy to get around town on with it's light weight and solid motor. Very easy to work on. The other benfit is that when you decide to move up the Vstar 650 is THE bobber project bike.
