  3. It would be worth it. So, how about Obama going down to Alabama and telling that man if he releases that poor little boy, he'll step down as President? Afterall, wouldn't it be worth it?

  4. Jeebus has the media nothing else to report on? How about crushing debt, no jobs, Obozo's leftist socialist policys, the cost of Obozo care, worthless unions and politicians and so on. Oh wait.....nobody cares about that...just destroying the Constitution and everything it stands for. Assholes....

  5. My parents moved to Idaho a few years back, and one of the things I've really missed is the weekend "do-it-yourself" projects my dad and I used to get into when they lived down the road. So when dad told me they'd been in town for a few weeks for a conference, I started trying to find a fun project for us to work on. Dad could only really commit to one day - so I had to find a project that we could do pretty quickly, but I was at a loss. So this past week I was putting the Christmas decorations in the storage room and I noticed this old TV stand. It's been collecting dust (and my overwhelming collection of White Wolf books) for years - basically since we got the flat screen. The wife wanted to throw it away, but I always held out hope that I'd use it for something cool. Today was its day. After talking over the possibilities with dad, we decided to turn this old thing into a gun cabinet. Right now I don't have any way of securing my guns from kids or houseguests. So we headed to home depot early this morning and got some 3/4in maple plywood and got to work. Stuff we already did: - Fixed the doors so they actually close and stay closed properly. - Doubled up the bottom to be sure it could hold the weight - Removed the shelf from the center to make room for the guns (measured it to 5" taller than the Mosin) - Added a stabilizer down the center to hold shelves on either side and to allow me to install a lock. - Added a reinforced back. It didn't have a back before. - Added a reinforced shelf on the right side to catch the door. That shelf will hold my valet where I dump my wallet, keys, etc every day. - Added a shelf for the pistols (10" tall) on the left side. - Reattached a bunch of the molding. Replacing double-sided tape with brass screws. - Replaced the entire top, as it had some water damage from a plant my wife kept up there when it served as a TV stand. Things left to do on it next Saturday after the gun show: - Binding the doors together on the left side, to make one big door. - Install 5 more shelves on the right side - two below the one there now (for Ammo) and three above (Belts, holsters, knives). - Install the pegs that will hold the guns along the left wall. I've got some long wooden cabinet door pull handles for this. - Install the lock on the left door so I can really secure the guns from prying child hands. Things I'll probably do on my own before I put it in the house: - Put a cleat along the bottom to stop the bottom doors and hold the padding. - Stain all the new wood. Refinish (light sanding and light stain) the existing wood. - Put some rubber or felt padding in the left side floor to protect the rifle stocks. - Install battery powered lights on both sides, so I can see back onto the shelves. - Put some hooks on the inside of both doors for hanging.... stuff. - Hang something cool along the back wall. I'm thinking a big metal barn star painted red. I'll post more pictures as the project progresses.

  6. Just linking as the release is oddly worded:   http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/wh-releases-photo-obama-shooting-gun_699234.html   Is there anything "Manly" that he doesn't look awkward as hell doing?

  8. With this administration I have learned while watching this hand (The AWB), what is the other hand doing (Amnesty For Illegal Aliens). I don't think even mighty O thinks he can get the AWB past the house or at least I hope not. Seems to me while we are focused on the 2nd he is pushing for 11-20 million new democrat voters. Stay all over congress about the 2nd, but if you oppose amnesty watch the other hand. I feel like we are being played.

This is so great, I can't tell you how great I think it is, it's so great. :) Lots of blurbs on the web here and there, but nowhere better than this in American Rifleman, so I just scanned the thing. And the priceless part is that Rahm "DeadFish" Emanuel had to sign some of the checks personally!! (click on pic to expand to full size to read it): - OS

  21. I love how the media will reference something from a movie as if it is true. Hollywood used a .50 Barrett in the SWAT movie a few years back. In reality, just about anything can bring down an aircraft if it damages the engine. A .303 bolt action Enfield brought down a AH-64 Apache helicopter in Iraq. Better add that hundred year old rifle to the ban list.

  22. Trying to do some research on this story, and not fining out much. It seems like the Sgt's brother is the source and is asking for money for a "legal defense fund". I'm always suspicious of one-sided stories and a request for money. It would be nice if the reporter would get a statement from the PD or at least get the court papers.

  26.   I bought a Kimber Super Carry HD from them in Nov. The pawn shop is about a mile away at I think 38th street.   The pistol beat me to the shop. Filled out the 4473, paid them $25 and came home. Very quick, easy and painless.   Funny thing is the owner lives on Signal Mtn.

  27. I hate to say it but we need to educate ourselves before running around like the sky is falling or our hair is on fire. I am just saying we need to read the bill in its entirity and not rely on third parties, like WND or Alex Jones, for fact finding. http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/files/serve/?File_id=9a9270d5-ce4d-49fb-9b2f-69e69f517fb4   If it passed tomorrow as written, which I seriously doubt, it will not affect any of the guns currently owned. If passed no guns you currently own will be banned from ownership. You can still have them and you can still take them to the range. Only the future sale, transfer or manufacture of those weapons listed will not be allowed. We are not going to have to turn our guns in if they are on the list, have a threaded muzzle or a second pistol grip.    The government is not going to come around and check for threaded muzzles. They are not going to come take your guns if it has a threaded muzzle, second pistol grip or a barrel shroud. It will not affect any magazines you currently own. You can still take your high capacity magazines to the range with your gun that is on the list.   And don't confuse this post and think I am condoning any part or this. Or that I approve of it in place of something worse. I have gotten so upset at this it has affected my health and my relationships. I hate what is happening with every fiber of my being and I get sick thinking about it.   We are at a bad point right now and we cannot give up the fight or relax. We need to call, write or email our representatives. And not just our own but other representatives as well because they will not verify if you are in their jurisdiction. And besides it is not against the law to call other people's representatives. We need to be MORE active than those who oppose us.   But in the end we need to be informed and not rely on the typical sources that use sensationalism and fear.   Dolomite

  29. Everybody answer this in your own mind. If by accident you shoot an innocent by stander, are sued and have judgement against you for $750,000 how are you going to pay it without general liability? Homeowners might cover a fraction of it but you are responsible for all of it.

  37. You don't have to ship them all home. You get tough on the employers that hire them and they will take care of themselves. When the jobs dry up they will go back home.   If they don't seal the boarder before they do anything the problem is going to be many times worse in a few years. When the illegals get a pass that will only make more come for the hope that they will also get a pass.   Here is the real deal- Dems see more votes if they can turn more of them into voting citizens. The reps. think that they can steal some of the hispanic votes if they go along with this mess. Personally, I don't think the reps. will gain very many votes because the illegals also want handouts that the dems like to hand out.     Unless BHO really screws things up ( He's going to really screw things up but I'm takling about something that screws the "free cheese" people), I don't see us winning a president election in the forseeable future. There's just too many "free cheese" people out there and BHO is going to appeal to more and more in his second term. I do think we still have a chance to hold good numbers in congress though

  41. Truely sad. But this angers me more because Chicago has some of the toughest gun restrictions(I won't call it legislation at it's unconstitutional) in the country, This incident is proof that gun restrictions don't do jack squat to prevent gun violence.
