[quote name='Caster' timestamp='1354592590' post='854644'] Yup, that's a dang good day. Kings to you. [/quote] Great reference.

This is just another straw man by an avowed gun grabber. Schumer will whittle away at our rights one little group at a time until none of us have any.

Use some Loctite on the new screws to avoid this issue in the future.

Oh my God, my face hurts from laughing so hard.

I would never have believed any of that was remotely possible without seeing it with my own eyes. Absolutely incredible.

[quote name='kesava' timestamp='1352310450' post='841097'] I think he's been doing a fantastic job. I'm a hard working American that believes in responsible gun rights. Not trolling, just sharing. It seems that most people who were pro Romney didn't see the fallacy in his economic policy. He Is out of touch. All of this anti obama rhetoric will subside when we see that he's been doing a fantastic job a the economy continues to recover and unemployment continues to drop [/quote] [quote name='kesava' timestamp='1352311162' post='841115'] I think he's been doing a fantastic job.

Keep repeating the exact same thing until it sinks in. [quote name='kesava' timestamp='1352318733' post='841253'] You're a very sad example of an individual to assume that I can't articulate myself or support my stance because my response wasn't within the time frame your expected. I would challenge you in a game of wit, but clearly you're unarmed. [/quote] Hey, a dim-witted 3rd grader called. He wants his witty retort back. [quote name='mcurrier' timestamp='1352324327' post='841333'] That's the liberal way. Sidestep the question, then distract with name calling and personal attacks. Diversion successful. [/quote] Not true. He forgot to call him a racist. [quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352332169' post='841435'] I would have loved to hear kesava's answers to ET. Looks like that won't be happening. He's just around for the moment, stirring poop. kesava, you know that bed you made will slowly wither away, until it's nothing. Enjoy it, troll. [/quote] You would like an intelligent response and some people would like monkeys to fly out of their butt. I'm guessing there's going to be enough disappointment to go around.

[quote name='sL1k' timestamp='1354067558' post='851700'] I hate you :/ I dare someone get the "back to the kitchen" shirt for their significant other I want the diesel powered mech warrior. Edit. I see lion fan beat me to it lol. [/quote] I'm getting it for my wife. And possibly the "'That's what.' -She" T-shirt. Thanks to you guys I have about $12,000 worth of stuff in my shopping list. And not nearly $12,000 worth of cash to buy it with.

Beautiful gun. I am definitely jealous.

I can't do the 15th, but I could definitely make the 16th.

This may be the final straw that makes the Republican party FINALLY start acting like Republicans. A big time fund raiser for the RNC and conservative causes in general has threatened to steer donors away from the Republican party if they vote with Obama to raise taxes. Let's hope it works.

Replace "liberal" with "non-shooter" and you've got a winner. There are also plenty of people who are ambivalent to our 2nd Amendment rights and they are just as dangerous. Shooters tend to be white, conservative males by a large margin. So if you have friends that don't fit into that category take them too. Take every person you know that is willing and able to hold a firearm and point it in a safe direction. I have found, at least for me, that guns were an introduction to freedom in general. When I saw what people would resort to in order to remove my 2nd Amendment rights I began to see what they were doing to remove my other rights as well. Come to think of it maybe that isn't such a good thing. Ignorance is bliss, you know.

I would just park behind them in a manner that makes it so they can't leave until you're ready to move your vehicle. Then when you're ready explain that you will continue to one-up their douchebaggery until they stop. But that's just the petty, childish side of me talking.

[quote name='gun sane' timestamp='1354122924' post='851971'] Powerball/lotto is a tax on the mathematically challenged. [/quote] You are absolutely correct. But every now and then when the jackpot gets super high I can't resist throwing math out the window and dreaming about what could be. I have some disposable income so a few bucks a year ain't gonna break me. Hell if I win I'll buy every member here a beer. Or twelve.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1353970073' post='850987'] So, my guy is one of the bad guys? Maybe a few of us from his district need to have a talk with him? [/quote] Since politicians listen so well to their constituents?

I would like to remind some folks on here that the reason that the general public thinks gun owners are a bunch of vigilante a-holes is because some of us act like a bunch of vigilante a-holes, and are doing so in response to this story. I understand that the thief escalated the situation (supposedly) and that is very likely why he is dead, but reveling in his death over petty theft is pretty asinine in my opinion. I would wager that every single person on this board has at some time in their life broken a law. I would also wager that none (or at least very few ) of you deserve to be dead.

[quote name='maroonandwhite' timestamp='1353085703' post='846621'] I would just rather be able to carry my gun everywhere CC or OC. If a local business can post to not allow weapons/guns then I would think they could include batons, brass knuckles, etc. in that. Just my opinion but I would rather have less laws than more. [/quote] Yep. Ask the government to exercise a Constitutional right, or ask the government to exercise a Constitutional right. Not a whole lot of difference to me.

[quote name='HvyMtl' timestamp='1353041444' post='846387'] They were on a flatbed trailer, on, probably, lawn chairs. The Train sounded its horn, the crossing signal was working. It looks like the driver made a wrong decision, 4 veterans and/or veteran family members got killed, and a lot of others are critical and in the hospital. I feel terrible for the Engineer and Conductor. There was nothing they could do. I feel terrible about the needless loss here. One of my last jobs was to teach safety around railroad tracks. It makes me physically ill when I hear of an event such as this. Please watch, listen and look both ways. You are too important to be lost like they were. Do not ever try to beat a train, cause it will beat you to death. [/quote] The sad part is that you have to teach a class on safety at railroad tracks. How much intelligence does it take to know that something that weighs 100 tons and is traveling at 35MPH and takes a mile to stop has the right of way? Sounds to me like a stupid driver made a stupid decision and people are dead because of it.

Ammo cans are cheap. I like it.

[quote name='Steelharp' timestamp='1353075137' post='846479'] I've never in my life eaten a Twinkie. Not one. I feel partly responsible. [/quote] [quote name='Caster' timestamp='1353075357' post='846480'] Communist. [/quote] I hate to, but I'm going to have to agree with Caster here. Twinkies are more American than apple pie. Everyone should at least try one.

All the more reason to buy guns at your local gun shop. You may pay a little more but at least you don't have to deal with morons like this guy.

I am so going to make this. And a French press full of Ethiopian coffee to go with it.

[quote name='scoutfsu' timestamp='1352816989' post='844784'] That and pick up your damn brass when you shoot in a National Park. And don't drink. And don't smoke illegal drugs. And don't illegally kill wildlife. And generally be respectful, consciences of other people enjoying the Park. It sounds like they've had many complaints, things were getting out of hand, and they're stepping up enforcement/trying to stem the flow of stupidity. Gun owners are their own worst enemy sometimes. I would rather them tell the retards to go police their brass than shut the park down to shooting. I'm surprised they didn't do the latter. [/quote] Wouldn't the latter be contrary to federal law? I don't know, I'm asking.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352163496' post='839687'] All I'm saying is my think both parties played a part of what happened. It seems me that the Marine was showing a bit more attitude than necessary and the cop responded - Maybe this puts me in the minority, but I try to avoid confrontation on the side of the road with people that have handcuffs. I am not saying that the cops were correct in how they handle this, only that both sides played their own parts and what happened [/quote] I can't argue that. I do think he should have just answered the question, especially since he was open carrying and it was painfully obvious that he was in fact carrying. That being said, if I end up in handcuffs there needs to be a lawful reason.

Honestly, I think anyone who carries daily needs to attend something like this. Definitely count me in.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352157408' post='839603'] Okay...at first blush, I don't see this as some big breech of this marine's rights. Regardless of our "rights" and regardless of whether the state we are in at the moment does or doesn't allow open carry and/or constitutional carry; I don't think it should be difficult to understand that when an officer stops us, whether he was or wasn't justified in doing so, it's not unreasonable that the officer may be concerned about the fact that we are armed and may be overly cautious. I guess what I'm saying is that both this marine and this officer could benefit from some relaxation techniques. In the meantime; I'll listen to this again...maybe I missed something. [/quote] Next time you're handcuffed for nearly an hour by an officer who admits you committed no crime come back and tell me YOUR rights weren't breached.
