So, for all you folks who say you are absolutely NOT going to vote for the GOP nominee if it's (Romney/Gingrich/Santorum) ... Again, please remember that O is likely gonna get 1-2 more picks in his second term, and conceivably even 4. Add those to his two already installed socialists, Sotomayor and Kagen, and he's going to have more influence over ultimate US jurisprudence that any president in history. What inspires this as a separate post, is the fact that the Supremes are going to re-hear a case of long "settled" law, affirmative action in higher education. This shows that the already tenuous decisions in Heller and McDonald may well only be short-lived. All it takes is another case that works its way up. All it takes is for the Supreme Court to agree to hear it. Do you really think we'd get another 5/4 decision with even ONE more of O's appointments on there? There is really no such thing as "settled law" in the highest court of the land -- it can be changed in a heartbeat to the new "settled law". It'll be bad liberal enough if the Senate goes barely GOP. If it stays Dem, those appointments will be so far left you'll need binos to even see them. Nowhere will the difference likely be more decisive than with firearms law. So I say again, vote your conscience in the primary, but bite the bullet and vote GOP in the general. If you must puke to do it, let it rip (hopefully on a Dem ). - OS

Or a Glock. Whichever's handier.

I have always said "It says a lot about someone when the people who know them best refuse to help them." Generally people who beg from total strangers have already alienated and or lost all their friends and family through bad behavior.

Turn a US soldier over to the Afghans for justice? Are you serious? I'm not even sure how to respond to that.

At this point the mission, nebulous as it was, is over. After this last month, it is time to pack it in and come home, the hearts and minds of the everyday Afghans are now out of reach.

It will probably look like a Taurus.

They retaliate against us, we retaliate against them. It's going to be a vicious cycle until we get out of there.

It is a fine pistol, and a good starting point. If you have around $1000+ to spend, wait and look at many options. If you have $750 or less, you will be hard pressed to do any better (apart from cosmetics).

I dig the shooting part of the show, but hate the reality part. They do get to do some cool stuff on there. BTW...that jacka$$ last year that pouted about getting voted to go to elimination and decided to sleep outside almost ruined the whole series for me

Refinish and stain the wood , other than that neither gun needs tinkering with ; buy the most affordable to you non-corrosive ammo you can.

Thank you for the kind words. According to Faramir "The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards. Yet there was nought in this to praise. I had no lure or desire to do other than I have done." I am just glad that any of those who desire to see this bill given an even shake was offered the opportunity to speak in its support. I am sure there are others who could have done it more justice, but it was my turn, and I did the best I could. The real test will be in the House Employee and Consumer Affairs sub-committee, I will be better prepared for that one.
