I used to go to their Loretta Lynn's rides each year. I used to ride a 2000 Honda CR 500R modded with high comp head, bored out carb, etc., running on VP C12. My dream bike: http://www.servicehonda.com/cr500af05.html

I like it so much I think I'm going to go get one.... :drool:

Not mine, but I finally talked my dad in to buying a new AR15. Ruger SR 556 He is mainly a bolt action and revolver guy, so this one has taken me some time. I can't tell you how many times we've gone to the gun store and he's walked away from an AR like this.

$1,999

Go to different Walmart stores. They all have different stuff in stock. Mine had the Magpul and SOCOM Colt 6920's, plus the Sig 716 and a few others....

I'm so sick of these Progressive RINO's. Swear if I had the money and support, I'd run against him myself!

Obama administration pushes new public health research agenda on gun control Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/06/26/obama-administration-pushes-new-public-health-research-agenda-on-gun-control/?test=latestnews#ixzz2XOJFr6xM In the near future, Americans who own or want guns likely will be subject to rafts of new questions from social scientists, medical researchers and law enforcement officials intent to discover just what guns they own, why they own them and what they intend to use them for — not to mention where and how they keep them. They will also likely have more researchers poring over such issues as whether childhood education programs against gun violence actually work; whether there actually is any relationship between violence in the media and in real life; and whether the safety plans that were drawn up by schools, colleges and communities in the wake of highly publicized mass shootings actually are effective. Those and many other gun-related questions are the thrust of a new social science research agenda that the Obama administration hopes will keep the push for gun control alive for years to come. The research agenda is intended to produce mammoth amounts of raw data on American gun owners, users and their circumstances, meaning that violence resulting from firearms use will be studied for “its causes, approaches to interventions that could prevent it, and strategies to minimize its health burden.” CLICK HERE FOR THE STUDY This includes, for example, such things as “the potential health risks and benefits (e.g., suicide rates, personal protection) of having a firearm in the home under a variety of circumstances (including storage practices) and settings.” The agenda, which aims to sidestep Second Amendment political and constitutional issues of gun ownership through its public health focus, was released earlier this month in a 124-page report titled, “Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearms Related Violence.” It was sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) with financial support from private foundations. The major impetus came from the White House, which mandated the study as one among 23 executive actions President Obama ordered last January, just weeks after the December 14, 2012, massacre of 20 schoolchildren and six teachers and staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., by disturbed killer Adam Lanza, who subsequently committed suicide. The horror of the crime, and the mental state of Lanza, contributed to the perspective on the sweeping design of the study, as well as its urgency. According to the chairperson of the group, Alan Leshner, its goal is to encourage “productive, useful answers” to some of the most divisive questions in American politics within the next three to five years -- more or less within the next major political cycle. Moreover, it is intended to be value-neutral: “We are fact people,” said Leshner, a psychologist who is CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and former head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “I’m a basic scientist,” he added. “I was asked to chair because I’m neutral.” So far, the study has drawn plaudits from liberal sponsoring foundations, and a cautious level of support from the National Rifle Association, which took part, according to NRA Director of Research and Information John Frazer, “because some of the research that is already out there is due for an update.” Among other things, the NRA argued, the steep drop in American violent crime —about a 46 percent decline between 1994 and 2011— deserves study in the context of the spread of “right-to carry” laws permitting citizens to bear firearms in public. The NRA would also like to see more research work on the deterrent effect of firearms on crime, and the benefits of firearm ownership, including “socialization into lawful gun use.” Other groups argued for more monitoring of international efforts to reduce gun violence, the study of best “state and international policy approaches to gun safety technology,” and the extent to which childhood education programs actually reduce firearm violence among children at an early age or later in life. The research study has also drawn skeptics, who wonder whether the amount of data that the CDC study suggests collecting might not amount to a gun registry—opposed by many on Second Amendment grounds -- by backdoor means. That is something Leshner emphatically denies. Others have a skeptical attitude. “There is nothing in there directly about a gun registry, but there is obviously plenty that could be used toward that end if one wanted to,” says Ted Bromund, an arms trade expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation. “I don’t see how one can regret the lack of a single database on gun owners, as the study does, without seeing the possibility of making the case that we need a national gun registry.” Bromund also pointed to references in the study document to “gender-based violence” as indications that research might intersect with the terms of the controversial U.N.-sponsored international Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which opened for signature on June 7, and which the Obama administration has declared it will sign, though congressional ratification is far less likely. The research area of optimal conditions for firearms storage and safety, Bromund points out, also “could tie in fairly easily to the ATT.” Given the spectrum of concerns that it covers, the report represents something of a rocket-propelled event for American social science. It was mostly hammered out in a few days of closed-door sessions last April by a select group of 14 academics and public health experts, assisted by eight staffers from the National Research Council and Institutes of Medicine. The secret sessions were preceded by a single “town hall” day for public input, which Leshner says was “successful in getting the views of as diverse a group as one would want.” The hammering out of the priority document was followed by a “couple of weeks of back-and-forth,” in Leshner’s phrase, among the committee members and staffers. Most research outlines of similar ambition can take months or even years of committee study before they appear. The crash schedule and high-speed publication was intended to break through what Leshner described to Fox News as a 17-year congressional ban on such CDC research, but it was also clearly intended to promote near-term action by “people who want answers in a systematic, rapid way.” Much will depend on whether the money flows to make sure that the high-priority research actually gets under way. In hailing the study, the CDC told Fox News that it “does not currently have dedicated funding to conduct this research.” For its part, the Obama administration has called for Congress to approve $10 million to get the research ball rolling. Whether that will happen is open to question. That may leave private foundations -- a number of which have prominently supported gun control research efforts in the past -- to carry the burden -- which in turn may affect which priorities get satisfied first.

A recent study by Congressional Quarterly shows that Senator Alexander voted with President Obama 62% of the time, more often than any other Republican Senator in the South. http://tnreport.com/2013/06/26/tn-liberty-group-plans-protest-of-alexander-voting-record/ = RINO aka Progressive Republican. :down:

Yard pics plz....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N96XnfK9YNI Interesting. Wonder if they do this to all groups rallying/protesting or just gun owners?

You need to delete foxxhox comment with the n-word in it.

Thanks, guys. :up:

I just got back from Washington D.C. protesting this BS. IMHO.... What a spineless bunch of pandering scumbags they are for even thinking about passing such a monstrosity of a bill. And that's what it basically is, pandering to illegals in hopes once they're legalized, they will vote for them in future elections - costing tax payers at the federal and local state level tons of money (welfare, social security, etc.). I heard on the radio it also exempts the illegals from Obamacare and gives employers an incentive to hire them over legal immigrants and Americas since they would not have to deal with the cost of Obamacare on the employers side as well.

Well, I'm in my vehicle with my sister and wife to go stand with the Representatives on the steps of the capitol who are opposed to this immigration bill John Bonehed wants to force the party to vote yes on. Too bad more folks wont say enough is enough and start showing their faces in opposition to all this crap they're doing in Washington. And I believe that is what they're counting on is folks being lazy and not doing shit about anything they impose on us. It's not like I wanted to lose the sleep or spend the hundreds of dollars I really don't have right now, but I refuse to sit on my ass and do nothing but complain. Sent from my iPhone

Kawasaki engines are awesome. I have a 1996 Eagle Star (Yazoo Kees made them) I bought 3rd hand that was used commercially and I've had it for at least 10 years. It has been kept outside in the weather just covered over with a vinyl tarp and that engine has not gave me an ounce of trouble. Only time I had to even get close was when E10 ate the gas line and fuel filter up, but no problems even out of the carb or engine itself (I use non-e10 now from CO-OP). A friend of mine mows commercially with an old SCAG and while I helped him cut grass one year, it never gave any trouble either. That said, I'd not hesitate to buy the Kawasaki powered SCAG.

If that cut is 1/2 inch deep, you should consider stitches. Deep cuts are not always easy to heal up right without them.

This might be a jumbled up explanation as I'm not feeling well after being rear-ended by a silly chick on her cellphone driving a Lexus today, but here it goes anyway. I've said it before and I'll say it here again, you win this by taking back the education system and then the kids will graduate and take the place back from the old left-wing when they start retiring and taking dirt-naps. How the heck do you think the left-wing did this in the first place? Look where they are, what they're teaching, what movies are playing, and what the media propaganda is on 95% of the news outlets. Every time you can take more of the curriculum back through revisions and updates, you graduate a more pro-freedom youth. Those graduates will take back the schools, judicial, media, entertainment, politics, etc. There is no other way to win this because nothing can be won over night and once people make up their minds, it is almost impossible to get them to change. FWIW... I said something similar here not too long ago:  

My Dad, wife and I were out last weekend looking for new gun shops and came across this place: http://www.sumnerguns.net/ We decided to try the indoor range out so my wife could finally shoot the Five-seveN and try a .45 to see if she could handle it since she wants a Springfield 3.3 XDS 45 for a CCW now. The range isn't very deep. But he does allow the AR15 223/5.56 if I recall correctly and the 5.7x28 out of the pistol and P90 rifle. They had a P90 for rent for the range if you want to try it out. :up:

Wife shot the Five-seven today:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6CJCbTIQqk   Then she tried out my dads Springfield Trophy Match .45 and loved it! She was actually very accurate with it. This is the first time she has shot a 45 as well, so I was shocked she would even like it or be accurate with it.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN96Edz7lis

Where did he go? :shrug:

That's pretty good! LOL
