But don't you think that cultivates the "We are above the law" mentality?
Isn't that why cops ignore speed limits both on the job and driving to/from work in their cop cars?

If you have a chance to try a P220, you should. It's a wonderful handgun and it is extremely accurate. I have had one for years and love it. I also have a 226, 229, and a 239 in .357 Sig. The 239 is a hand cannon.

Philandering, like sodomy, is a lifestyle choice.

I'm sorry you are misconstruing my logic as a snack food, but I believe you are missing my point.
In case 1, you have a kid painting something that may be annoying, possibly ugly, but more or less just a picture, versus the same kid painting a highly offensive racial slur that you will definitely have to get removed post haste.
In case 2, you have a guy slugging you because you said his team sucked or whatever (which likely could have been avoided) versus a dude slugging you because of your color (which could not be avoided).
I am in no way saying that murderers should be treated differently based on motive, per se. They should hang with the same rope. But in the lesser crimes, certain permutations of said crimes merit different punishment from others.
I believe that you are criminalizing thought with this line of reasoning. The crime is the same, but the thought is not.
That's very Orwellian.

I'm sad for my children. They have to be exposed to vile immorality and have other citizens tell them they have to accept it without judgement.
I hope to raise them differently.

I would use it in my suppressor, but not for general carry. The 9mm round needs velocity to open a JHP, and a subsonic round will not open the bullet the same. The 9mm Black Talon did not perform well. You should search for a +p JHP because the length of your barrel will affect the velocity and performance of the round.

He's probably an ATF informant looking to set you up.

An interesting article that is definitely the camel's nose under the tent:

Put some on backorder and it'll be like a gift when it arrives!

A thing to remember is, most GLBT argue that their alternate lifestyle is a genetic predisposition and not a choice.
Back to the freedom stuff, so, if it's my business, true freedom would mean that the gov't couldn't tell me what to do, so long as it doesn't violate other people's freedoms?
Then I could tell a guy that I was interviewing, "Get out of here, I'm not gonna hire a black man." I could tell my cute secretary, "You should get some shorter skirts, and some lower cut blouses." I could tell my IT guy, "One of the guys in the shop told me that you're a queer, if that's true, I'm gonna need you to clean your desk out by 5." I could tell my shop workers, "We've got a big order to complete, boys, next week you're gonna be working five 12 hour shifts. No lunch breaks, and no, I can't pay you overtime." I could fire my welder because he broke his arm playing basketball. Do you see where this is going?
These laws are important. Nobody likes a big fat government, but some law is necessary.
If you were free, you could do what you postulated. You would also find yourself out of business due to a lack of employees. Freedom also extends to the workers, and they are free to quit and find another job, quit and start their own business, or comply. Regulation begats regulation. And it eventually leads to domination.

Just ordered a couple 9mm 250 round UMC yellow boxes for $54.99 each. Bass Pro sent me a $20 off coupon, so total with shipping is $102 for 500 rounds.
Here is the web address for the coupon in case any of you want to try to see if it works for you:

How far would you want people to be able to take that? Should you be able to decline an application to work on your oil rig from a Hispanic person because they are Hispanic? There's a difference in someone not being to properly perform their duties and them just not being the type of person you like.
Crap, I don't want to take us off track, so I'll go back to the above video. That guy that is answering the questions about who the bill will apply to is an idiot. The bill should say that a hate crime is one committed due in part or entirety to a large ideological difference between the two parties. Having it only be for white on black, straight on gay, etc only serves to widen the gap between the groups.
If you are truly free, you are free to associate, hire, worship, fire, and communicate with whomever you want. The is the purest definition of freedom. There is not a government telling you how to live your life.
-
I agree 100%.
We should also consider our personal liberty. We have the freedom to associate or disassociate based on our own desires. If we do not want to be around a certain race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion, we should not have to. If I start a Hooters, and a 67 year old fat lady comes in and wants to be a waitress, I should have the freedom to not hire her based on her age and fatness.
If I am running an oil rig and a transvestite applies to work on the rig, I should be able to decline the application based solely on it's being a transgender. The political correctness in this country is leading to the fragmentation of society, as is multi-culturalsim.
This country is on a slippery slope.

I believe this legislation has also covered hate speech, which would prohibit a preacher from preaching biblical doctrine against homosexuality.
If this passes, you could be arrested for what you say.

That's too funny! The Wookie almost lip sync's!

Can you guys quote the article or amendment to the U.S. Constitution that allows the federal government to get involved in a private sale?
I think we need to take a step back from this background check nonsense and ask the government to take less of a role in our daily lives.
No one seems to be bothered by the Constitution anymore. Government involvement in the the delivery of healthcare is clearly not Constitutional, but no one ever mentions it.

Obviously, of course not.
There are other states without an income tax that don't have TN's level of sales tax. I don't think it's an "either / or" proposition.
Not to "thread drift" too much, but I'd like to see tax reform get the attention that health care is getting.
Unfortunately, any talk of "tax-reform" will only lead to more tax dollars being demanded by either government or the non-contributors. The non-contributors are closing in on 50% of the working class and they will not vote for a reform plan that causes them to pay taxes. Once they hit 51%, look out . . .

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Do we read enough about these men?

Disassemble that thing as quickly as possible. There is an ATF court case in Wisconsin where the ATF is going after a poor soul for possessing an AR-15 that doubled. The owner is going to jail even though it was a manufacturing defect that caused the doubling.

I'd inquire about a rear sight and see if they omitted it by accident. Do you have a close-up picture of the flash hider?
I went to the website to check, and it seems the sights are special order, so my dealer may have purchased them this way. Here is a link to the flash suppressor:'

I saw an older model Viper in Franklin, but not the blue one. I think I saw Billy Ray driving a blue Ferrari F430 hardtop a couple weeks ago up Hwy 31.

. . . it finally showed up. POF model P-415, with 16" 1/8 barrel and gas piston operation. I'm interested in your comments, especially the unusual flash suppressor. It came with a front sight, but no rear sight, which I thought odd.
Health Care
in 2A Legislation and Politics

Controlling health care costs is about controlling the citizens, nothing more. They could care less about costs, real or perceived.
The selling point is the evil insurance companies. I think government can be much more evil.
