Sorry to hear of this disgraceful conduct. The best way to take care of this trash is to do exactly what you've done. Tell everybody you know what happened and dont trade with them. They worship the god of money -- hit em where it hurts the most. Don't worry about this bunch --- find somewhere else to go to dinner -- the hell with them and the trash like them, i say (pardon my french) -- they will allways be out there -- especially in a citadel of lunacy like Memphis. We have the same problem in east tennessee; I live near another citadel of idiocy -- Knoxville. Keep up the good work! Kind regards, LEROY

Great answer. there's no question that reloading is cheaper. You can also taylor your loads to what you want to do -- heavy or light -- any type bullet, etc. If your time is limited; i would recommend a progressive press; but you need a real buddy to help you thru load selection, initial set up, and use. Most people blow themselves up with pistol ammo loaded with fast powders on progressive reloading machines. We have a dillon xl650 (we bought ours used with tons of dies and caliber conversion kits ) that we can easily load about 400 rounds thru in 1 1/2 to 2 hours (i tend to piddle and verify too much). Others can do much better. Hope this helps. LEROY

This is exactly right. Israel removed a threat and made us and them safer -- they were vilified for it by the UN and some in this country -- they didn't care, they simply did what they thought was right. We should take a lesson from them. For the last 50 years we have started out right (when we started); then a bunch of third basers, career polititians, and polititian wanna bees in high position in the military (like Colin Powell), and apologists take over. Just about the time our military has their collective boot on the neck of our enemies; the aforementioned idiots stops our military from finishing what should have been done in the first place. We are cursed with indecision because many in our government have no sense of right and wrong; they are just a bunch of trashy polititians. We in this country have no idea of what those in Israel put up with every day. We may someday, if we don't wake up; but that's another story. The only real ally we have in the middle east is Israel.

Does anyone have the voting details on this on on a senator by senator basis? LEROY

Great point. The character and worldview of those possessing nukes is much more important than anything else. You may want to take the time to read this post in the JPost this morning: The myth of imperial Zionists | Op-Ed Contributors | Jerusalem Post The jews generally dont start anything; they just finish it. Kind Regards, LEROY

Amen brother! You are exactly right! RE: Your Vietnam war analagy. Right on again. I believe that the bulk of the great disgust for the Republicans and Bush 43 is exactly what you are pointing out. We were way too reasonable about handling things. This campaign should have been over in a matter of months; not years. Frustrations about this mistake have been continually whipped along by the news media (again, like Vietnam) and the mongrel socialist hippie class in academia, the media, and the rabid partizan Demorats; along with their foolish sons and daughters. It is diagraceful; and in my mind, treasonable. The same third basing of tactics and general willingness to believe anything bad about the military is exactly the same as it was in Vietnam. Make no mistake; it was about politics then and it is now. These self-loathing third basers hate themselves and this country -- it's all about politics and them being the smartest guys in the room about everything, especially government -- they are dismissive about everything American; and want to remake this country in their own evil, morally bankrupt image; while involking platitudinous pronouncements about liberty and the rule of law. They conveniently forget what happened with the Marine Barracks Bombing in Lebanon by Hezbolla, the total destruction of the country of Lebanon, the almost daily murder of Israelis, the wiping out of a couple of generations of Iraq's and Iranians in the "real Iran-Iraq war in the 80's, the bombing of the USS Cole, Somalia, and several other places the US was attacked -- let alone the Twin Towers. They think it's all right to let American soldiers be killed; but not these murdering thugs who rape their mothers and sisters and kill their own brothers and sell them into slavery. The whole thing is sickening. That's why im so contemptious of them; they are, as the Russians were fond of saying; "enemies of the state." They have no character and seek to degrade those who do. RE: The unending war. It is my firm belief that if we had started killing these thugs sooner, instead of ignoring them and trying to buy their favor, there would not have been the killing that has went on to date. That is exactly what Israel does; they live with this problem ever day. Our inaction on this issue is what has moved this plague from the middle east to our own shores. Now, a Volunteer Army (God bless 'em) is having to fix about 30 years of problems -- I, personally don't see how they do the job they do for some of the trash that resides in this country. They are far more corageous and giving than I am. I do not believe that the whole lot of these tenth century monsters and the slaves they have made is worth one pin prick of american blood. Like you, I don't give a rat's patute about what happens to these tenth century thugs at Guantanamo. As and old buddy of mine is fond of saying about death row inmates: "lets fire up the electric bleachers." That's how i see it --- let the whining and indignation begin. LEROY

This is a great course of action. There is nothin in the cesspool around Beale Street in Memphis that cant be found somewhere else. Let the cesspool stink. Memphis is exactly the same place that New Orleans was before Katrina. Same inner city trash; same demigogue polititians and crooks -- same results. My advice would be not to go into Memphis without a gun; and not to go to Beale Street at all. Im sure there are still some good folks in Memphis and some good places to go. I would find out where they are and patronize their businesses. Let the trash congregate on Beale Street. LEROY

YOU MIGHT WANT TO LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE. AFTER ALL, IM JUST AN IGNORANT OLD MAN -- dont know much about constitutional law, problems with christianity, etc. ---- BE PATIENT AND EDUCATE ME. KIND REGARDS, LEROY

I think the main reason they are still there is that they are dangerous men. There could be a few goat herders in the crowd, but i doubt it. It seems they are pretty rowdy to me; all you need to do is a google search to find out how rowdy. It seems that the great Noboma has tried to hand over a few of the "goat herders" -- seems that no one wants to take them. I wonder why. Could it be that others may think that these guys are dangerous -- probably so. By the way, i wondered where you went. How about the rights of those "goat herders" in pakistan the other day? One thing about it; they weren't tortured. I wonder if they were "Mirandized" via leaflet. You might want to check back in on the ole Miranda thread and enlighten us. By the way, I seem to remember some soldiers being punished and a general being reprimanded over this pesky "mistreatment" thing. I believe (notice the language) you are drilling a dry hole trying to recycle this one; but I enjoy the attempt. Keep up the good work, LEROY

Great history lesson. Thanks for sharing: justme quote: "There has not been in invasion by Iran into what we call Palestine (by the way, the name "Palestine" is not the name of this region from antiquity -- it is Israel. The Romans (a great bunch, themselves) destroyed Israel in AD70 and renamed Israel "Palestine". They were mad at those pesky Jews for crimes against Rome, decimated them, and finished them as a nation. The name "Palestine" is used many times as a convenient "alternate state name" for those who dont like those pesky jews to legitimize the idea that somehow the jews stole the miserable spot of land they were ceded in 1948 from the pore ole Palestinians) since about 614 A.D and no such Persian invasion has been carried out into Palestine by Persia (Iran) in the modern 20th century. Iran has never preemptively attacked Israel, and indeed--Persian kings who have invaded ancient Palestine in ancient times have showed great mercy to those living in the cities that are located in what we call Israel today...Cyrus is hailed as a great liberator, as is Darius the Mede. ..... However, the Turks (Ottomans), Byzantines-- the Arabs, the Crusaders under the French, and Napoleon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria--all invaded Palestine...and Iraq, Egypt and Syria all invaded "Israel" three separate times between 1948-1973, and in the first two wars Jordan, and a number of other "moderate" Arab countries helped...but Iran was not among them during these invasions..." You may want to consider this piece of info in your Iran history, Picked it up from a quick search of Iran history-- did a quick Google search: I remember this very well. The Iran you are talking about in your above dissertation aint the present Iran. that is out there now: CA 1979: "...Khomeini served as leader of the revolution or as Supreme Leader of Iran from 1979 to his death on June 3, 1989 ( its a grea thing when these monsters go to meet Allah!! -- if there is one). This era was dominated by the consolidation of the revolution into a theocratic republic under Khomeini, and by the costly and bloody war with Iraq. The consolidation lasted until 1982-3),[107][108] as Iran coped with the damage to its economy, military, and apparatus of government, and protests and uprisings by secularists, leftists, and more traditional Muslims — formerly ally revolutionaries but now rivals — were effectively suppressed. In the summer of 1979 a new constitution giving Khomeini a powerful post as guardian jurist Supreme Leader[109] and a clerical Council of Guardians power over legislation and elections, was drawn up by an Assembly of Experts for Constitution. The new constitution was approved by referendum in December 1979. -- Wikapedia stuff Khomeini turned Iran from a prosperous, secular, progressive country into a religious totalitarian dictatorship in a matter of a few years. Thats the Iran you need to be worried about; not the "Persia" of bible times. Thats the government that Adidiawhachmacallit represents, as well as the Grand Whoever. Times change, so to governments. You might want to consider that Hezbolla is a proxy of Iran and they have been fighting both the Hebrews and the USA; they aint been doing too good with the fight -- but they are fighting. Food for thought, LEROY

If the Israelis need to do that; ill be glad to leave that judgement to them and help em rebuild whatever they want to rebuild. The hebrews have been doing a great job of taking care of themselves from 1948 until now. It was David Ben Gurion, the first president of Israel who said: "now we have the guns" in his inagural speech in 1948 -- there's a great lesson in that statement alone -- there is a sure 'nuff need in Israel for gun ownership -- they mandate it. You need to remember that they are they guys that get attacked every time -- they don't seem to provoke attacks -- they just finish 'em. RE: China: I completely agree. We should and are concentrating on China. WE introduced capitalism to this bunch and it's working pretty good. Lots of chinese stuff on our store shelves; and the shelves of the world. They are also buying up american debt that both sides of the political spectrum have run up. Aint it great; commies buying american debt. God bless 'em; even though they dont officially acknowledge Him. The best way to 'focus on China" is to keep trading with them. Capitalism works everywhere it's tried; and it is busy working in China. The only place having touble with capitalism is here in the good ole USA. Oboma ran on the old "hope and change theme" --- codewords in my view for anti-capitalism and increased statism (note the new word--hehehe). The foolish, the childish, the communists, the lazy, the trashy, the unions, the "something for nothin crowd", the boschelvics, the communists, and the generally anti-Americans voted for socialism in this country. I hope this is a temporary condition. It is my belief that the producers of this country need to take the government back over so we can continue to trade with the Chinese. If we quit paying, they may get mad. RE: THE OLD WMD STORY: justme =="now where were those chemical weapons found again in Iraq? Seriously--I'd like to know. " Quote: Originally Posted by Daniel Iraq had chemical weapons, aka wmds. 2nd platoon from my rifle company went into an underground storage room full of 55 gallon drums. Half were soon covered in hives and all had to leave the place puking their guts out. After a week or so they were allowed to return to the rest of the company. This administration has not said anything like "gotta get those wmds". Stop living in the past. I have to agree with Daniel on this one. There were, in fact, WMD's in Iraq -- just ask the Kurds and the Iranians -- they found out how they worked (see Smith's post for details). It is my belief that US forces didn't find them all -- they moved out to the Bekka Valley; then somewhere else. It is also my belief that Iraq didn't use WMD in the second gulf war because they feared what might come next. I believe that fear was well founded. The fact is; we don't know everything that goes on, and we don't know about this. RE: CULPABILITY FOR SELLING STUFF TO OTHERS WHO USE IT FOR BAD THINGS. It is an undisputed fact that the Iraqi's and the Iranians have bought both weapons and feed materials from other countries, including the good ole USA. We can quibble about the morality (and even wisdom) of doing such things; but thats exactly what it is -- a mere quibble-- nothing else. This arguement is a "red herring" (it smells). Everything they bought has a legitimate commercial or humanitarian use. The end user is responsible for the end use; not the seller. This is particularly true for the feed materials for chemical and biological agents (they have legitimate uses in agriculture and medicine; the bane of all third world countries). Withholding of these type items can and has been used as a propaganda tool to say that the witholders are monsters and are oppressing and punishing the poor impoverished buyers. We can quibble about nuclear type parts, equipment, and materials -- they got only one or two uses. One legitimate and the other horriffic. Food for thought, LEROY

Israel will never drag the US into anything as long as Noboma is in office (as well as lots of Republicans i can think of). The fact of the matter is; I aint sure that Israel will need any help.

Aaron:____________ I love the Escort and am thinking about rounding one up. Tell me about it. How does it carry? How does it shoot? Got a gunsmith friend who says that STI is probably the best 1911 out there for the money. Kind regafds, LEROY

If you were in North Alabama. i suspect all of the guys had already armed themselves and stocked up down there. I'ts a great place to be and a great bunch of folks to know. LEROY

Take the time to read this post (finally found it) New AG's opinion on Local Ordinance Prohibiting Firearms in Establishment with Beer!!

You might want to take a look at the TN Attorney General's opinion on this. It was posted yesterday (Ithink). It basically said that the local governments couldn't do this kind of stuff. Hope this helps. LEROY

Great idea!!! I'm filing this one away. Many thanks, LEROY

What a great thing!!! Congratulation to you both. Keep that young man well armed with bbs and keep him shooting!! Kind Regards, LEROY

I completely agree! Evidently, it aint possible for a lawyer to give a "yes"/ "no" answer without fully explaining everything. LEROY PS -- WE'LL TAKE IT ANYWAY !! HEHEHE

Great news on your deal; welcome to the wonderful world of Colt firearms!! You might want to try Birchwood Casey "Sheath" gun oil. Or just take a look at what you have and see if it says "moisture displacing" on the spec sheet. CLP Break Free does the same thing. If the place where you store your guns is damp; I doubt anything will work but using a dessicant or some sort of small heater (even a light bulb) to drive off the moisture. Hope this helps, LEROY

I like it!! Great idea. Keep up the good work! Kind regards, LEROY

Great question. It might just be best to tell them to just be careful with them and not let them go off anywhere that's posted as a "No Hunting Zone." My intuition is that Israel will take care of Iran; and that China (China with a simple word, because they cant afford a nut ruining their foreign trade) or Japan (Because Japan sees North Korea as a genuine regional threat) may well take care of N, Korea. God has truly allowed us to live in very interesting times. Kind regards, LEROY

Welcome. Glad to have ya!!!
