gun sane

Got a picture?  Our guesstimate accuracy improves significantly if we know what we're looking at.  :stunned:

Try the Georgia Arms table at the next gunshow.

      I'd take the credit if it were mine.  It's making its way all over Gundom.   Of course, I'll get blamed if somebody does something "extreme" about it.  :wacko: :koolaid:

Saying he was unwilling to let what he called a “lazy-a** Congress” go on a Kwanzaa break without doing something to end gun violence, President Obama on Sunday wrote and signed Executive Order No. 57-ought-nought, demanding that law enforcement officials in all 57 states immediately confiscate any and all guns believed to have been, or are potentially able to be used in crimes. This is to be retroactive, so will include any and all guns, weapons, explosive devices, etc. made or imported into the continental United States and/or territories existing on or before the founding thereof. Per previous arrangements, imported fireworks are exempt. The Smithsonian Institute has filed a complaint, stating that moving and melting down numerous guns, cannons and related explosive devices would be cost prohibitive, and would cause hardship when trying to rearrange the existing artifacts and update the catalogs regarding the remaining exhibits. The Director of the Smithsonian requested an immediate fund of $3.8 billion to offset the costs. “This will get those dang guns off the street,” the President remarked as he signed the order, which was written on a cocktail napkin from the Kappuhualuhannilannamaliki-aha Hotel where he, the family and their entourage of 700 personal assistants, servants, cooks and interior decorators were staying. Some Republican critics immediately criticized the order in a critical fashion, which other Democratic critics deemed overly critical. Nonetheless, the critics of the first part noted that the executive order was unclear on whether the president meant to say law enforcement should arrest all “guns” or “gun owners,” primarily due to a large water ring left on the order by the president’s fifth papaya-mango daiquiri of the morning. “What the ****?” said congressman Paul Ryan, furrowing his Eddie Munster-like brow into a full vampiric scowl. Democratic Rep. Barney Frank also commented on the new executive order, but no one could understand what he was saying above the wet, flapping sound of his jowls. His office later released a statement in which he wrote, “It’s about time we put the blame where it belongs, on the weapon, not the weapon’s user. People don’t kill people. Guns kill people.” Former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, when asked about the president’s executive order, jumped up and down and giggled hysterically for several minutes before saying, “I just bought a gun recycling plant last week called Dolomite's Potjie Pot Meltdown Plant. I can’t wait to cash that check!” Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid’s only comment was “Huh?” as he slipped back into a coma at his desk behind an inbox overflowing with unread budget proposals. The executive order would also hold bullets and high-capacity magazines accountable as accessories to a crime. Frank said he was glad that targeting scopes were exempted from criminal responsibility under the new law of the land. “Let’s face it,” Frank said, “targeting scopes are kind of gay. Therefore they must be given special consideration.” Under the executive order, guns convicted of a crime would be melted down and turned into speculums and other probing devices for use by the TSA at airport security checkpoints.

This is interesting.  Zoom in to New York City and you will see there's only a handful of permits.  Go north off of Manhattan Island and you'll see a definite boundary where permit holders are crowded in.  Must be a Ziegfried Line of sorts.

I'm still looking for white accessories so I can call it my assault & pepper rifle.

I prefer the Taurus TCP's trigger to the LCP, although my wife did carry the Ruger for awhile.  Then I made that age-old mistake of letting her shoot my TCP and now I only have visitation rights.

  Why stop at 10?  They'll probably leave us with 3 in the mag and we have to count to 10 before firing each shot.

According to body language expert Tonya Reiman, a good liar can look you right in the face while he tells a whopper.  She says that to detect if a person is lying or not, look for other body signs which may be a giveaway.  Among them is rubbing the eye.   http://www.tonyareiman.com/articles/Liar_Liar_Pants_on_fire

if he genuinely cared about the children of America, why the 16 trillion dollar debt?

This UN treaty business is still being debated as to how it will affect our rights. Article VI, Clause 2 of the Constitution, states: [quote][i]“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under that Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, [b]any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding[/b].” [/i][/quote] In 2010 we amended the Tennessee Constitution to preserve our rights to hunt and fish. We need an amendment which will do the same for our rights to carry--without limit to magazine capacity, type of firearm or accessories.

From what I read, it's a war trophy and was not subject to GCA '68. She will have to go through a Class III FFL to sell it now, however. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968

I was aboard the Ranger and we swapped places with the Big E at Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin a few times. That is some ship.

Powerball/lotto is a tax on the mathematically challenged.

Heavy coats and thick shirts are not made of Kevlar. Just get'r done.

Rush Limbaugh's clever line: "Too many generals are taking orders from their privates."

They wouldn't ban assault rifles....they'd tax the stuffin's out of you for having them. They do have the power to tax anything, thanks to Chief Justice Roberts.

[quote name='HvyMtl' timestamp='1352325872' post='841359'] We were never considered a Christian-Judeo nation, even by the Founding Fathers. See the Treaty of Tripoli, written in 1796, approved by the 2nd President, a certain John Adams. See the treaty's article 11.

[quote name='Drewsett' timestamp='1352074109' post='839120']Gun sane, the reason our candidates didn't make the cut is because they weren't Democrat or Republican. Between the fact that the DNC/RNC control the access to the debates through imposition of arbitrary percentages and the fact that the mainstream media are in the business of appealing to the... mainstream, you won't hear anything about these so called "fringe" candidates. If you were less adherent to the utter control of your independent mind by punditry, you might have noticed that these so called "fringe" candidates are rather moderate.[/quote] Quite the contrary. I did listen to the message which was more popularly espoused by Ron Paul, who chose to present himself as a Republican, rather than a Libertarian. Two planks of the platform are for me a deal breaker. (1) I cannot support an isolationist view of dealing with terrorism, as this is akin to living in a dangerous neighborhood and believing that hanging a No Trespassing sign will keep the perps at bay. (2) I will not support the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. I won't bother you with the reasons, only to say that my wife is a medical professional and I trust her judgment on this issue as well. Lest you think I'm whistling past the Republican graveyard, rest assured I have concerns with their policies as well, but there are none so reckless as the two mentioned above. Money wastefully spent can be restored through better management, lives thrown away are irreplaceable.

Not for nuthin', but have you Libertarians ever considered why your guy didn't make the cut? Either it's the man or the message. Money will naturally follow the candidate and the policies that people think are winners. Or maybe it's the way in which the message is delivered....

This has been a nail-biter of an election. Since I have already voted, it doesn't matter much what I think of one candidate or the other. I have now left the ultimate decision before God Almighty, Who gives authority and takes it away. I ask Him to weigh both candidates in the balance and judge their hearts. I firmly believe that God loves righteousness and hates evil, therefore I pray that He will reward the man with the character most like His to be given the office for the next four years. It's the best "not my will, but thine be done" kind of prayer I can muster. It also relieves me of a lot of anxiety, as I also believe that God will not forsake them that are His.

[quote name='seez52' timestamp='1351990147' post='838565'] I'm not so sure. If O gets back in people may be clamoring for a real conservative in 4 years. [/quote] If O gets back in, what makes you sure there will be an election in four years?

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1351960265' post='838366'] It's not true except to the extent that it could change a very tight race into a decisive victory for Obama in that state, which in turn would give the electoral votes for a wrong choice. I have no problem with protest votes, but would you want Obama in this case? [/quote] I heard on the news last night that Johnson could give Romney trouble in New Hampshire. That's 4 electoral votes that will go to Prez Zero if Romney doesn't overcome the gap.

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Cambridge, Mass. * Celebrated historian Bertram Oxley has uncovered a memorandum from former Japanese Emperor Hirohito to Admiral Yamamoto dated December 6, 1941, showing that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was motivated by an offensive film made by Charlie Chaplin ridiculing Japanese cuisine. “Contrary to historical accounts over the last seventy years,” Professor Oxley said in an interview today with the BBC, “What appeared to be a meticulously planned surprise attack was actually a spontaneous demonstration by moderate sushi connoisseurs in the Imperial Navy in response to a hateful and offensive movie. Thereafter, extremist elements within the Japanese military co-opted the spontaneous attack, transforming it into the overseas contingency operation sometimes referred to as ‘World War II.’” The discovery has created a sensation in scholarly circles. “This is a remarkable find,” declared Reginald Smythe, chairman of the Progressive Historians Association and former Obama State Department official. “Had President Roosevelt condemned this movie instead of uttering that infernal ‘Day of Infamy’ provocation the war could have been avoided and millions of lives would have been saved.” Reached at his home in Houston, former President George H. W. Bush, an aviator in the Pacific during the war, expressed skepticism. “It’s simply inconceivable that the Japanese First Air Fleet, with six aircraft carriers, could have staged a spur of the moment attack on an island thousands of nautical miles from the Japanese homeland with such stealth and precision.” Most experts dismissed Mr. Bush’s remarks, however, since it’s widely understood that World War II was primarily his son’s fault. White House spokesman Jay Carney, asked this afternoon about the memo’s discovery stated, “Of course, hindsight’s 20-20. But one can only wonder how much pain and suffering could have been averted had FDR simply apologized to Hirohito at the outset.” “Fortunately,” Carney continued, waving off questions from White House reporters anxious to return to questions about Mitt Romney’s grooming habits, “We’ve evolved to a more sophisticated strategy of leading from behind, so we’re unlikely to repeat the disastrous mistakes of the past.”[/font][/size]
