Had a doc's appointement this morning at Skyline and went across the street to Walmart afterwards, just hoping a I might get lucky and find some 22 there.   No luck of course, but I was close and thought I'd try. But while I was there, the young man beside me started a conversation. Asking what I was looking for.   I didn't think too much about it and said I was looking for some 22, maybe even some 9 or 45.   He then proceded to tell me he was looking as well, hoping to find some more for the weekend. Going shooting? No.   He's looking for it to resell.   Well....after a few seconds looking into his eyes I asked if he was going to take it to Hendersonville this weekend. Yes, he says.   So I believe I stunned him then.   I looked him right in the eyes and said "So you're the reason the rest of us can't find anything. You're buying it and feeding this mess by trying to make a profit from it He looked shocked that I'd said that. So I continued.   "You will be selling it at Hendersonville tomorrow?"  He said yes rather quietly. I said thanks. "I'll be sure and tell my buddies to avoid you.""   Over reaction? I don't think so.   If I can resist trying to resell mags at inflated prices, or jack up rifle prices about retail and beyond; I'm not ashamed to say that I'm offended by someone doing that with ammo to me and others.   So if you see a early 20-something young man abou t5'10" and puxhing 300 lbs'  stop in and give him your money.  Or your thanks.

Before Christmas, my wife and I were in a local jewelry/cosmetics store. The conversation behind the counter?   "Gun control is not the answer."   I was the only man in the place, and I didn't bring it up...

Overreaction? Yes. It's the free market. Supply and demand. If people didn't think it was worth the markup they wouldn't pay it, leaving him holding the bag. Since people are paying it, it's obviously worth whatever he is asking.    Unless of course you prefer a planned economy? If so, there are plenty of Socialists out there who can help you with that. ;)

This weekend, I'd send you to the Hendersonville Gun Show. Look for a sign at a booth that says "Reloading Supplies", and a great big fella underneath it.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/16/andrea-mitchell-argues-govt-can-infringe-upon-americans-inalienable-rights-hear-pro-gun-advocates-epic-response/     The claim may seem outrageous, but here’s how Mitchell defended her stance after her guest claimed the Obama administration can’t infringe upon Americans’ inalienable rights:   “Well, they can be infringed, because the First Amendment is infringed, I have to obey all sorts of regulations from the FCC, there are things we can’t say in a crowded theater, so every right also carries with it responsibilities and obligations.”   In response, Eric Pratt, of Gun Owners for America, provided a well thought out analogy that seemingly dismantled Mitchell’s argument.   “What’s interesting about that, though, is we don’t gag people before they go into the theater, we punish the lawbreakers,” he said. “And in the same way, we would argue punish those who abuse the right, but don’t gag law-abiding citizens before they exercise their right. We shouldn’t be registering them like sex offenders, like they are in New York. We shouldn’t be in any way impeding them if they have not committed a crime.”

We need to get the word out.   One thing the antis have that we do not is a comprehension and use of social media. They use social media regularly to get the word out while there are a lot of us who do not use things like Facebook, twitter or other forms of social media. That is also the sole reason why we failed to elect Romney. If we could offer and get more like mided individuals using socail media it will help us immensely. It will help now as well as in 2016, which will be a huge accomplishment if we win that election.   I have often said we need to take the plays from the antis playbook and social media is one of the better plays they have. We also need to be more vocal through calling friends, family or engaging complete strangers to explain to them why we are the winning team. A person who is sitting on the fence will choose to be on the winning team and if they think we are it then they will side with us. Those who are diehard antis are not fence sitters and no amount of logic is going to sway them. But for the fence sitters I think we can make a huge impact on which way they will vote by being more vocal.   Dolomite

the sad thing is they are americans too . they should not have to live like this

I'm pretty sure there's plenty of folks in the commie states that are pissed off too. They're screwing a LOT of people right now. Hopefully it will rid us of a bunch of the assholes in the next election.

Here's a compilation I've never seen before, apologies if everybody else has, really enjoyed it. Juxtaposes some pithy ironic viewpoints that really speak volumes.   http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2010/09/21/40-reasons-to-ban-guns/   - OS    

We have Rights.   Perhaps that's why the left's get so pissed... ;)

This is Boba. He was a rescue. Forgive the cliche but he really IS a junkyard dog. He came from a nearby wrecking yard. That group of Aholes lost their lease and were going to kill him and throw him in a hole where they were burying trash. He came to me, I've had him ever since. They used to kick him and be mean to him. When I found him, the chain he was on weighed more than he did. 12 mos old and weighed around 30lbs. Well Aholes, If you guys ever wanna kick him again, I'll let you. I'll go in the house and promise NOT to get involved. Go in his pen and kick him now! Later that afternoon, I'll get a mop and clean up what's left of you. People who abuse dogs deserve a slow death. It took time, but we come to an understanding. That understanding grew to the best friend I got. I swear, he'd jump off a cliff if I ask him to. I once snapped my fingers and told him to jump into the middle of a pile of tires. I was just screwing around and would have never thought he'd actually do it. He bailed off in the middle of them and busted his ass. I felt really bad, he got a couple McDoubles from McDonald's and I doubt he holds it against me. He's never mentioned it. Anyway....Here's my buddy. 80lbs of faithful retard. I no like you pinch a da cheeks!

I have always said that their lives are too short not to spoil them.............especially for as much as they freely give. I have had German Shepards most of my life, my wife had King Shepards, so they are our fur kids. A house is not a home without a dog..............

THE ONLY PERSON TO BUY FROM!

Think real hard about small-of-back carry.  It's not nearly as accessible, secure, or concealable as you think.  It also really, really hurts if you fall on it.... AMHIK.  If that's the only spot you've got room in your pants for the gun, I'd strongly recommend you consider larger pants or OWB.  That said, I have crossbreed and a galco that work pretty well.

For anyone considering a Weimaraner they go from this at 8 weeks to this at 6 months to this at one year And yes he's spoiled. In all seriousness though, too many people get this breed just based on how cute they look as a puppy with their blue eyes and all and don't stop to consider that this a breed that will positively own you if you don't take the time to train and exercise them. Please adopt responsibly. Too many Weims abandoned as it is.

It was a tragedy for everybody, and a great opportunity for some. But, why would these caring commies manipulate the information? They have been so honest with everything else, like F&F and Benghazi.

What about finger in the trigger guard for the win

GOd almighty damn! I hate social security.  I might would turn in one of my assault rifles to see that system collapse.  Thankfully, a little patience and I believe I'll get to see it for free.  Filthy socialists, get out of my pocket you theivin' bastages.  

  No, that's a lot of bull from people who have never been in a self-defense shooting.  Remain armed until the police get there and have control of the situation.  Do you want to be unarmed if the person you just defended yourself against has friends, family, accomplices nearby who are unhappy about you doing what you just did?   Nope.  Remain armed.  Disarm when instructed by the police.   Edited to add:  I often see comments from folks saying they're not going to throw their nice Nighthawk 1911 or whatever on the ground when the police get there because it's too nice / pretty / expensive.  When the police are arriving, holster your firearm before they get out of their car.  Hands up and wait for instruction.  If they tell you to unholster and throw it to the ground, throw it to the ground.  If they tell you to lay it on the ground slowly, do it slowly.  If they tell you to tap dance and pat your belly at the same time, do that too.   Bottom line being, your stupid high-end boutique firearm isn't worth you getting shot over.  If it's so concerning that your gun might get scratched, don't carry it.  If you think it  might go off when dropped or tossed to the pavement, don't carry it.  Good guns don't go off when dropped.   Do whatever the nice police officers tell you to do, following their instructions to the letter, and keep your mouth shut until asked to speak.  And even then limit what you say.  You were in fear for your life, that guy over there in a pile is the guy who attacked you, and you'll be GLAD to cooperate with the police after your attorney is present.  You are in no state of mind to say anything else without your attorney present.  Period.   Establish that you're the good guy, point out the bad guy, point out the knife or gun or ball bat or chain or axe or whatever he was about to attack you with, and then shut your hole.

  Bingo. Like any of these nutjobs has ever said, "Gee, I'd like to go on a killing rampage today but all I have is 40 ten-round magazines. Guess I'll take up basket weaving instead." 

this word, mass destruction, I do not think it means what they think it means....

This thread is certainly making it easier to figure out who not to try and do business with...

The poor forgotten third amendment   http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=F584p5kJL-U

So I agree with what the video had to say. But what's up with the cheapo animation, text to voice and the crash test dummy?  I think that kinda kills the credibility, least for me.   Next time I would suggest a badger, holding a wooden spoon and riding a segway.

I agree fully with the observations on folks speakin up over what is goin on now; especially with regard to the guns, magazines, and ammo thing.  More and more folks are waking up to what these people really want to do. People can understand what the plain reading of the second amendment says; and can compare it very quickly with what these sons of satan are proposing; and are, in fact, doin in the blue states like new york.    Its the ultimate irony to me that this unholy alliance of apostate jewish eastern european demigogs like Bloomberg and the great "godfather" Rahm and their useful children in the black community would think that restricting gun ownership would be a good thing.  It seems to me that i remember that black folks were mistreated with gun laws until just after the civil war (...slaves dont own guns...); and the fathers and moms of these european folks gave their guns up to a guy by the name of Adolph Hitler (...and Joe Stalin, as well...).  If i wuz a member of either of those groups; it would be a cold day in hell before any stinkin politico took any of my guns and ammo; but that's just me.   In my mind, its just another proof that there just may be something to "social darwinism"; as my 23 year old so artfully argues (...mostly for the sake of arguement...): ...." There must be greater and lesser human beings; more advanced and less advanced...."  "Those anointed to rule and those consigned to be ruled over"...etc, etc...You get the picture.   I say what they need to do is to keep stirrin this pot.  I think it will bring them a bitter harvest.  Lots of folks are ambivalent about taxes (...especially if they dont pay any....).  Folks can understand when things are contrary to the plain language to what is purported to be the supreme law of the land.   I say "...keep talkin..." dear sweet brother barak, bloomberg, coumo, wrangle and others.  More and more folks are listenin and gettin mad.   listenin leroy

Do not put Walter down like that, he would make a much better VP! :rofl:

  I sincerely hope and wish it so.   On a similar note, I was in a local Wallyworld Tuesday and happened upon some WWB 45. As I was paying for them, a young man passing by saw them and we struck up a conversation. He was probably mid 20s and actually could string 3 words together without a F/S/MF; and was intelligently talking with me about his guns. Ended up letting him have some of the 45. It was a pleasure to see a young man not a flaming lib and intelligent enough to know the difference between his butt and Obama.

The organizer in chief never left campaign mode. That stunt with the children was as low as I've seen. Stalin and Hitler did the same stunt. Right before they disarmed the people and sent them off to camps and slaughtered them. History repeats itself. If we let it.

Politicians like that don't do public transportation. He's rich, runs New York and thinks he knows what is best for everyone.   As much as we would like to see him depart the earth, when the gun ban fails, Seeing his face and the failure of the Obama Administration on AWB#2 would be better.   I hope congress has the balls to stand up to the "telepromptor reading, Hypocritical, Socialist,Better than the rest of us POS" Obama is.

Here's some ranges:   Grains/round = rounds/pound 2.5 = 2800 3.0 = 2333 3.5 = 2000 4.0 = 1750 4.5 = 1556 5.0 = 1400 5.5 = 1273 6.0 = 1167 6.5 = 1077 7.0 = 1000

    Except that when the cop gets there and finds out you've got a gun on your hip, you're gonna do a face plant with a knee in your back and your gun is gonna get tossed anyway.  At the very least they'll make you disarm yourself and put it on the ground, likely at gun point.  Then they'll move in and cuff you.  Hopefully you'll get released in short order, but I seriously doubt the cops will let you remain armed.

A doctor can ask me anything they want. My doctor is a serious liberal. She has also known me for a long time. Ask away, but you only get what I want you to have.

 Interesting info !!!     History Lesson on Your Social Security Card Just in case some of you didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and Card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION was removed               An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message. Our Social Security: Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 1) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary. No longer Voluntary 2) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program. Now 7.65% On the first $90,000. 3) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year. No longer tax deductible 4) That the money the participants put in went to the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General Operating Fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program. Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and spent. 5) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:   Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it? A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically controlled House and Senate. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -- Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?   A: The Democratic Party. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----- Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? A: The Democratic Party with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? (AND MY FAVORITE): A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! ------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- --------- Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!        

I for one approve of the fact that we're not being bombarded with pictures and stories of the fu&$ stick. That's exactly what these lunatics want, recognition. I'm sure the right people are well informed and still gathering information, information that won't be kept private per say but also thankfully isn't being blasted all over by the mainstream media, feeding the twisted egos of other degenerate losers. I'm all for freedom of information, but in this case I say let people work for it. Don't turn these psycho's into celebrities.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/documents/2013/01/rand-paul-nullify-obama-gun-document.php?page=1   Make sure that's on every forum around, and that people start turning up the heat even more on every senator before it comes out.

  How about rightist idiots?   - The great conservative God Ronald Regan is pretty much responsible for Kali's restrictive gun laws. He even wanted to ban handguns entirely and license long guns for hunting only. Of course was 100% behind Brady Act also.   - Dubya was for extending the 94 AWB and for universal back ground checks.   (just a couple of examples off the top of my head)   - OS

Do not know if anyone has posted any of this info as of late.  NRA is now taking lifetime membership over the phone for $300 no need to have a sponsor,just upgraded myself.   Tn Firearms Assc. has its first Nashville Meeting of new year,it is in Hermitage @Golden Coral and you do not need be a member to attend.  

yeaaahhhh....I can see that sliver of glass in the palm of my hand and a shoe full of port.  

Generalized response of an elevator full of doctors this morning, "We barely have time in clinic to ask patients about their diet, exercise, and medications which are all critical to their health why would we wast time asking about their guns?"   I'm interested to see if the younger residents' opinions are much different this afternoon.

I have been sending at least once a day. Just finished sending one to Alexander. Now to Corker and the others. I also did the Ruger site twice today.   WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET! In fact, we're deep in it.   I know it's exhausting, but keep it up and spread the word.

Bloomberg has no patience.  He was blowing his horn five seconds after Sandy Hook.  Obama's plans are more long term.  He has four years to get done what he wants, and it's ultimately the same as Bloomberg ---> total ban.  Once he gets to replace one of our 5 gun-friendlies in the SCOTUS he will move another chess piece.  Then if the Dems take Congress, it's checkmate.

depends, white snow or yellow snow.       5:1 ratio may occur in which it takes 5 inches of snow to produce 1 inch of liquid equivalent.

Don't go to the doctor and this will not be a issue. :)

just say no. 

I am now the official Tennessee state organizer for Guns Across America.  If you have questions please let me know.  I can tell you that this will be a great event.  I just spent 3 hours on a conference call with the organizers in the other 49 states, along with the national organizers.  I have speakers being lined up right now and I am working on more.     There is a Right to Life rally at the Capitol building, so we will be assembling across the street at the War Memorial.  I have obtained permission from the people at Legislative Plaza, so we are good to go.  This is a public rally, so they have informed me that we do not need a permit or anything.  I urge people to dress somewhat nice and to not have a rifle on your back.  We do not need to feed the media stereotyping of gun owners.  Bring a sign too, but please make sure all the wording is spelled correctly.  Also, do not write any derogatory things on the signs.  The media WILL be there.  Please do not accept an interview unless you are prepared to do so.  Also, in the event that an anti-gun person tries to start a confrontation please WALK AWAY.   Thanks everyone!   

  I always buy my own coffee.  :)

    Absolutely. I own and read all of the books I've listed above.   The Road is excellent, very dark...but I've read all of Cormac McCarthy's book and he is a dark SOB, rambles like hell, but I like his work.   There is no good or bad with him...there simply "is".   :2cents:

I didn't vote because it doesn't matter whether I "support" it or not -- if  only one proposal passes this time around, it's gonna be the end to private sales.   The devil will be in the details of how it's to be handled nationwide, the biggest of course being whether a permanent registry will go along with it.   On a minor note, I wonder if our little TICS fee might get a bit of federal scrutiny in the process.   - OS

Myself I really want to shoot the AA-12. Full Auto 12 ga.
