  1. Well, IMO I'd rather it be done with this bill in place.
  2. Female shooter may be dead, four others injured, no official mention of what type of injury. One witness had one female shot, that ran into Carl Jr's, another shot multiple times in Google Hq, (indicated deceased), and then a last volley of four rounds. So if she committed suicide it must of been with that last volley, 3 for the BF and one for her.
  3. Heard it may be a female shooter.
  4. And some of those would be active and reserve people.
  5. Did a tour at the JD Distillery and found out the REO was an auto company. They have a firetruck that the band REO Speedwagon got it's name from.
  6. I moved my garden, sprayed round-up, twice, during non-rain days. Finally, I tilled the area, but the next day it rained so will have to do it again. I have some garden soil from lowes to raise it, so planting should go well either way. I have plants, peppers and tomatoes, under the lights doing well so hoping for a decent crop. I plan on planting about the middle of the month, hopefully the last freeze will have passed by then.
  7. You must run in a different circle, because this is what I see.
  8. If this were on the table, I'd be more than willing to slide right up to that table and discuss. But that is not what they want now is it. No, they have been waiting for one of these events to pickup steam, they try it after each horrific mass shooting. They bring out the pre-planned speeches, signs and celebrity 'activists' willing to go all out with one goal in mind, and that's disarmament. I want to know where these parents are, who are willing to possibly put their kids safety in jeopardy, because you know there are some on the far right that would love nothing better than to shut these kids up, one way or another. I hope nobody attempts to, that would not be good for us at all, but the threats are allready happening. Are they that sold into the idea of disarmament that they would let these outsiders use their kids as sacrificial lambs?
  9. I for one am tired of being tolerant, seriously, why in the hell do we, who've done nothing wrong, need to tolerate those that do not tolerate us? If they want to talk about how to make schools safer, I am right there at the table, if they want to talk about how to best disarm us, well then they can go to hell. I am also getting tired of hearing all this tolerance talk from our side, I really am. You don't see the left breaking from the ranks, why are we? Many gun owners seem more than happy to work with them on how best to appease them, when all they want is for us to be disarmed, pure and simple. As I've said before, I am sorry these events happen, but it's such a statistical abnormality that it is not worth all this "repeal the 2nd Amendment" angst coming from the left. If they were serious about keeping the kids safe, they would be pushing for more cell phone control instead of gun control since distracted driving kills more kids than guns do.
  10. Sure now he is honest, at 97 and retired what does he have to lose? But no, no respect from me.
  11. Sounds like another anti-American fool to me, probably already succumbed to Alzheimers. This is where the danger lies, with liberal justices that want to change the Constitution instead of defending it. Good thing he is retired, anyone with this attitude should be pulled from SCOTUS or any federal court immediately!
  12. Don't be jealous, we have a heck of a PR firm.
  13. No matter what reason you give, anti-gun fools will come up with something to counter, no matter how stupid. The fact remains, the 2A is there for a reason, and if all the GCA's infringements don't get blocked, we will need all our muskets sooner or later.
  14. I agree on the uselessness of them, but not on the banning of them. Who are we to tell others what to have fun with. I also view those exploding targets as dangerous exploding toys, but would not want them banned. Same goes for many firearms out there to one sector or another, do we really want to go down that road?
  15. I'd put them away, not post them and let everyone know I had them.
  16. I'm not convinced that the bump stock made it anymore lethal than with a standard semi. Maybe because he had little to no training in ARs, but if it were someone with training, I'm sure they could have hit more, many more. If he had put more thought into it, he could have trained at the elevation and distance he wanted to engage at, chosen a heavier caliber and done much more damage. He had the $, he could have purchased an NFA in .308, which would have really made these anti-gun brains implode. Imagine if they knew that with just $200, plus the price of the weapon anyone could get a true automatic.
  17. Well, there goes another piece of the cake. Just one more slice that I'd have to keep on the down low if I had one.
  18. Done, to both the ILA, and GOA, we need to pass the word around.
  19. Not quite smoke and mirrors to me. I don't have a citi...anything, that I know of, but this is a shot across the bow as far as I'm concerned. They have just signaled their intent to control an industry. Their actions are not based on law, yet, so it's an arbitrary decision to try and enforce a standard they set. What's next?
  20. When I enlisted at 18, we could drink beer on and off post with a military ID (until about 85' I think). I was issued an M16, and was soon after made an M60 Gunner. At 20, I was in charge of the entire Arms room, with unaccompanied access. I had a memo from my Commander allowing me to transport my M16 in my POV(only had a couple of CUCV (Blazers), to and from the range when we shot matches. A month after turning 21, I was trudging the jungles of Honduras, Panama, and other spots I can't mention. I must say, I did some stupid things between 18 and 21, but not enough to be a risk to me or others. I don't believe I was an exception, but also not the rule, just average. If I was affected, I would fight for my rights and would let these polititions, many of whom haven't served, know what was what. But now I am 53, and can support the measure only if everything is changed to 21, not just guns, otherwise, they can go pound sand. Since I know they won't do that, that puts me squarely in the opposition of the measure.
  21. I confirmed, on their own page that this is true: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7667605?hl=en So I went to YouTube and unsubscribed from everything, adding a comment why. Going to www.full30.com, where its pro 2A.
  22. Well now, that is the question now isn't it? We, as it currently stands use 18 for many things, legally, but 21 for others, and of course we have the legal opportunity to divorce our parents for cause. I'm ok with either, as long as they use ONE standard.
  23. Personally, I have an issue with students, at all levels walking out of class for ANYTHING, and I would only support them protesting things that happen in their school, or district, like sucky lunches, bad teachers, dress code etc. They are there to learn, not protest, that should be left to parents. And there were a few stories of pro-gun students treated differently than their fellow anti-gun brethren. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/378654-minnesota-student-with-pro-gun-sign-escorted-off-campus-during
  24. One thing I learned in life is "Perception is Reality" to many, me included. I've had my share of left leaning teachers, not all, but many. But while they tend to gravatate to the profession and pass on their beliefs to the students, unintentionally or on purpose, the majority of the problem I think is with those that set curiculum and policy. Many times I've seen schools do things that are really far left, such as this whole anti-gun protest thing. Imagine how schools would react if the kids wanted to protest say, planned parenthood, or the NFA?
  25. I'd be interested to see which way this nut leaned, White Supremacy or Muslim. Personally I hope it's just a run-of-the-mill nutjob, those other two have been getting too much press.
