    One thread (the 14 page one) turned in to a pissing match by a bunch of haters and it got locked. :popcorn:   I already pre-ordered one. I'm order # 2046. :up:   When I get it, I'll post a review. :cool:

Also, I can hardly finish a full size cigar anymore, especially because my wife has asthma and I can't smoke anywhere near her. So when I buy a cigar now, I try to find small sizes in the tins. I've had these for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro v2.2

I smoke a pipe on a rare occasion. Mostly burn the black cherry stuff. If I smoke a Cigar, it's going to be a Macanudo Robust or similar. That's about my limit pricewise for a stogie. If I smoke a cigarette, I buy Turkish Tabaco and roll my own. I smoke for taste, smell and enjoyment, not addiction. So I rarely smoke, but when I do, I won't fool with crap like Marlboro and all.

Have you put a comment in? Your opinion?   I think at the very least, we should all make sure they have an appeals process because a lot of people get evaluated and have a temp 1 time issue in life, but otherwise learn to cope with whatever got hem down and they move on to being mentally healthy productive folks that are not taking drugs to correct anything.   My sister works in MH and she said they have a court room in the building they can see a judge and I guess be adjudicated mentally ill, etc.   So if they have a real issue, I don't think they'll make it out of there without being corrected and the court knowing about the issue. :shrug:   Also, I really don't see the mental health of folks being a huge issue with gun violence or murder.   But adjudicated mentally ill, sure, no gun for you. Otherwise, not adjudicated mentally ill by the court, you're OK to have a gun. That's where I stand on the issue. No gun only if they have the court judgment. No bureaucrat deciding who is eligible or not based on personal opinion of medical records.

  Thanks, John!   Keep us posted on your findings!

  So help me out.... Where the heck is the link to the page we can comment. I've looked off and on for two days and I can't find it!   Next, what area needs commenting on to protect against that abuse of our vets guns rights?   I will tweet, facebook and spread this on other forums soon as I can find the comment page, etc.

    Is this a yes?  

    Have no clue.... But now ya got me. Time to google....

Anyone see any problems with this new proposed change by the DOJ? Anything need commenting on?   Are there any loopholes in there where they might be able to screw folks over with who might of had a temp issue (like got a divorce, got depressed, took Zoloft for 3 months, and got over it later and are otherwise not on meds and completely normal) but use it to deny them a gun?   Anything in there to screw over veterans?   I mean this as in being able to deny a gun purchase without someone actually being adjudicated mentally ill, etc., by an actual court.   I don't want just any bureaucrat deciding themselves during a background check if folks can buy a gun or not without it being proven in a court a person is really mentally ill, etc.     The PDF: https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-00039.pdf   DOJ: http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2014/January/14-ag-002.html   You know, a system like this could be abused if they don't have to prove you have mental health issues in court.   But I'm not a lawyer nor a mental health professional, so that is why I ask these questions now. :)   The below is the short version, the PDF has a lot more.    

  So do you see any reasons to comment on this one?   Any loopholes in there where they might be able to screw folks over with who might of had a temp issue (like got a divorce, got depressed, took Zoloft for 3 months, and got over it later and are otherwise not on meds and completely normal)? Anything in there to screw over veterans?   The pdf: https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-00039.pdf

  My sister got strep this year. We don't even know how she ended up getting it.   But this time, it was fever, chills, some really light sinus, dry throat, an occasional cough and tons of fatigue. Not the normal real bad sore throat that you get with strep. She thought she had a cold or whatever, but the DR did a swab and found it.   She got a shot and that cleared it up in a couple days. (She works in Mental Health, so she takes the flu shot every year.)   Odd that it was more like a light cold than a bad case of strep with sore throat from hell that I recall it being like.   Last time I had strep was like 1998 (and I think I got it at work testing milk products by tasting before I ran it on the filler machine - have to do that with every changeover and the pipe from the bowl that you purge from and taste sits in a gutter on the side of the machine). I got it like 2 or 3 times while I worked at that dairy. Never had it before and never had it since I quit there.

Looks like FNH is in the AR15 market now...   http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/carbines/fn-15-series/fn15-carbine   http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/carbines/fn-15-series/fn15-rifle

Interesting.....   A little off topic but where the heck is the link to comment on the new background check crap?   http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2014/January/14-ag-002.html   I looked on regulations.gov and couldn't locate it for some reason. :shrug:

My wife's mother is a nurse, a vegan and in to natural stuff as well. Her mother and my wife got me drinking what they call "garlic tea.' We use: 1 full bulb and boil the garlic in water until it has boiled down half way. Then juice 2 fresh lemons and pour it in the cup of garlic tea (the garlic water, no cloves in it). Then add local honey to taste. That might taste better to you. :up: This stuff really helps you get over crud faster. I've seen my wife get over crap in two days when I was sick for over a week. Sometimes I got sick and she did this and the below vitamines and never got what I had! She also bombs herself with vitamins. Zinc, vitamin C, magnesium, Echinacea golden seal, and a multi vitamin.

    They have doubled down on that now. :down:   They treat the kids themselves like terrorists now if they wear a pro-gun, pro-2A, NRA shirts, or even draw a gun and/or play like a cowboy. They interrogate them and even have hauled some off to juvenile. So they're not just telling them Daddy is an evil bad man for owning guns, they're also instilling the anti-gun-rights in them through fear and punishment. That really instills in them that guns are bad!   I've said it before, but if folks don't get back in to being involved in the education system, etc., the left-wing will continue to take control of the curriculum and before long, they'll be turning out little socialists who hate guns and the constitution, etc.

  I've got no pins in it yet, but it was tight just putting it together.

  On what gun-rights issue and how did this go down? I'd like to at least learn from your experience. You can PM it to me if you don't want it public and I'll keep it between us. :up:

  If a well organized peaceful non-violent non-compliance happens, will you join, or will you willingly give up your rights?   That is the question I ask of every gun owner on this forum if you will honestly respond.

  1. No, if you mean it as launching a preemptive unorganized violent response instead of exhausting all other peaceful and non-violent proper legal means.   I am saying they should have exercised peaceful non-violent non-compliance with said unconstitutional law and then followed up by going through and exhausting all proper legal means to repeal or nullify that law.   I am for fighting these political battles through non-violence as long as it takes to win.   If the CT gun owners had at least taken the first (non-violent) steps in preserving their rights, they wouldn't have been standing in that line (see red bold text above).   2. Exactly right. I agree with this totally. There is no way for an individual to respond preemptively and/or by his or herself violently and have a positive outcome. If anything, it would even hurt the cause and give the left-wing media and their political friends more fuel for their anti-second amendment movement.   Aside from that clarification, did you even read his post? It says go through all the peaceful legal means first. I was agreeing more or less with that: "ideally the legislature and the courts are exhausted before ANY other options are considered."       And let's get this right. None of us are looking for an excuse for violence. None of us want to be in any battles. All we want is our natural and constitutional rights, unrestricted, not revoked, and interpreted as originally intended by our framers.  

If you do nothing and just comply, that will be true. But as the many political battles that have been fought to preserve our rights, or renew them, historically show us, if we get off our asses and do something, we can keep ourselves out of that line. Again, I keep hearing nothing from gun owners and conservatives except comply or run. You all sound like you've already given up. Hell, even the polls about gun rights from the overall citizens show more are in favor than are opposed. You're essentially letting a minority revoke your rights with the stroke of a pen with no opposition or fight. I just don't understand you people that are so easily willing to surrender your constitutional rights to a bunch od spineless left-wing political asshats.

Oh, you've gone and done it now! MEGA pr0n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Billet MEGA MATEN .308 Billet MEGA Ambi AR15 MEGA Forged AR15 Pistol

This is exactly the way the CT gun owners should've responded.

Like I said in a similar thread, the best way to nullify an unconstitutional law is DO NOT COMPLY in mass peaceful organized fashion. There is no way they could enforce a law like this if not one single gun owner complied. And who would want to go knock on thousands of folks doors to confiscate unregistered guns and arrest the owners of said guns just because a spineless politician made law abiding citizens yesterday, felons today via the stroke of a pen? If I was an LEO, SWAT or any of branch of law enforcement, there is no way I would enforce an unconstitutional law. I'd tell said spineless politician, you ride in the SWAT van and you be the first out of the vehicle to knock on the door if you want to make unconstitutional laws and enforce them!

I found this info on "murder by communism" which has some studies with some estimates on how many millions perished under those political dictatorships. http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/COM.ART.HTM
