Well when all is cut and dried and ACA goes into effect buy the time 2014 gets here and so many folks have got totally blistered by it on both sides of the isle as far as the American voters are concerned they might look at the Republican party and say well you were right and go to the polls with RED in their heads and be bleeding read all the time they are in the voting booth, something like Rowdy mentioned. Surely stranger things have happened. You can bet they didn't expect the Republicans to rebound with such authority back in 1996 either but they did. This train wreck that is coming is going to teach a lot of Americans a lesson for those smart enough to learn from it. I am also figuring that all the freebees that folks have been getting will be gone shortly after the debt deal is done also.That will also make folks bleed red. The GOP make take a few lumps tomorrow from the media but i have a feeling the lumps they get will be just little knots compared to what the people are going to get when the ACA starts driving up their health insurance to unaffordable rates and Jobs move in full blow cut backs because of it.........jmho

well, as I have gotten older my driving has also gotten slower. If I am on a two lane highway I will drive what ever the speed limit is but no faster. If I get a guy riding my bumper I just slow down a little and if he remains there I slow down more and in most cases they get the message to back off or I will be diving at school zone speeds soon. I get dirty looks when they finally get a stretch of road they can pass me in. Sometimes that never happens and they just have to follow me. but once I do speed back up and they are still behind me they remain back far enough for me to see their headlights. On 4 lane divided highways I will always drive in right lane and most times drive 5 to 10 miles under the speed limit and get passed by everything on that highway. I'm never in a hurry to get anywhere any more and I just enjoy riding and driving around. I buddy of mine went and had a bumper sticker made in the mall that read "I stop for all animals crossing the road. Be prepared to stop Quick" He had it on the back of his car 1 week and he had to get a new one when a turtle was crossing the road and he stopped. They guy behind him didn't. They guy climbed out from behind his deflated air bag raising all kinds of hell about the guy stopping because for the turtle. All my buddy did was get the turtle and move it the rest of the way into the direction it was headed and put it off in the weeds on the shoulder and while doing that he was on his cell phone calling the police to report the accident. This guy that did the hitting was still raising hell when the cops got there. Finally the guy got on the police officers last nerve. The police officer told the guy in plain English that he didn't care if the guy stopped to watch a UFO land in a field you cannot hit them in the a$$ so just shut up about it and handed him his ticket for causing the accident. My buddy had to go have another bumper sticker made. It was on a small two lane side street so neither person was going very fast. Speed limit is 35 on that street. But I loved the police officers statement to the guy........ :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I watch it from time to time but like swamp people better..........jmho

Well I just like to look at things more positively I guess and I just hope that somewhere there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel for the country I love so much. I can see that there is a lot of negative views and I guess so many folks have given up on the Country that ya'll are probably right. Just give up and let her go down the tubes. That is all negativity does is drag her down farther and if I have offended anyone I am sorry but I just don't give up so easy I guess.........jmho

Thank you very much for posting this article. Men of his stature deserve far more than they ever receive.  It;s not right but then some  things in life back in the days of Vietnam seldom ever are.......jmho

Ya just gotta hate them stone age bomb makers. They have sure killed a lot of good soldiers and innocent people with them IED's...........jmho

Well I don't want any one in the military to be effected and I don't consider anyone in our military non-essential period so I am sorry if I included anyone military related as part of this. No disrespect to you or anyone in your position but 800,000 is a hell of a skeleton crew..........jmho   I was referring more to people like Obama's dog trainers and people in that levels of employment. 

If the Government shuts down and I got furloughed I would thoroughly pi$$ed to be told that my job was Non-essential. That is demeaning, disrespectful and maybe even racist in certain term but what really caught my eye is our tax dollars are paying salaries for 800,000 non-essential positions in Washington!!!!  If they are non essential employees why do they have jobs? And you can bet I hope they don't get any back pay for being furloughed as  non-essential employees in the first place.............jmho.  Now I am speaking strictly employees in Washington and not park employees. I consider them essential for the American people to enjoy our great natural resources. As far as I'm concerned that guy that sits behind that desk in the Oval office and has play like 400 rounds of golf and flies around in Air Force 1 since being employed is the most non essential employee in all of Washington DC at the present time........again.........jmho   Will you notice a government shutdown? Yes, particularly if it lasts a few days or more. If you're one of the 800,000 federal workers who are deemed as non-essential, you will be directly affected immediately and not report to work. But the implications go well beyond Washington. If you're applying for a passport or visa, you will likely be out of luck. First-time home buyers looking for a mortgage will be delayed because the Federal Housing Administration will be closed. And the 401 national parks will be off-limits starting Tuesday morning. The biggest fear for hundreds of thousands of federal workers - and members of the military - will be if they receive back pay. In the last shutdown nearly two decades ago, workers received lost wages. That's not guaranteed this time. And why everyone should care: a shutdown will cost, not save, taxpayers' money. A study from the Office of Management and Budget puts the overall economic price tag for a shutdown around $2 billion.

Well I know I may have opened up a can of worms when I posted that but I think had it not been for guys like Cruz , Paul, Lee and others The Republicans would have bowed to the whims of the dictator long before now. You notice I didn't mention specific back bones, I just said backbones. It was the young guns that pushed the old goats forward and they did move forward so it did show determination by the Young guns to keep their promises to the people when they ran for the offices for which they got elected to. To me that shows back bone and it has sure got Reid and Obama pi$$ed for sure. I just hope and pray that the American people see when the Government gets shut down who actually shut it down and it won't be the Republicans doing what was ask of them by the people. It will either be Reid or a veto from Obama that does it..............jmho

Except for my name on the letter  got the same exact letter word for word and I never wrote him about this issue. I wrote him about the UN Gun Treaty back several months ago and got this.............. :puke: :puke:

Was that an oppp's we messed up or what.................. :rofl: :rock: :rock: Must have had the underwear bomber for a teacher............ :rofl: :rofl:

Had a friend go through something almost similar but the girlfriend was a second wife of about 3 months and he had two children under age 21. It turned out that because neither son was even mentioned in the Will period they we able to contest it. When it got in court the Judge made the decision to divide the estate into 1/3 for each so they all got something. It was also a sizable estate. If the father would have mentioned both of them in the Will and left each of them 1 dollar they could not have contested it. It was because neither was even mentioned that they were able to contest it. My attorney told me about it while I was making my Will out too make sure I mentioned everyone I wanted so no one could contest my micro small estate....................... :popcorn: :popcorn:

I just don't think ole Jeremiah had the luxury of Vienna's and PB&J sandwiches and all the other goodies there is for options we have today or his saddle bags would have been full of them................. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

You may be right but I think this time for some reason Obama is not going to get his way and I hope he does shut down the Government with a  Veto. That will furlough 100,000 Federal folks that thought he would protect them instead he is willing to throw them to the wolves. Wonder where his ratings will be after that since they have been slowly falling for last several months and if the Republicans cave they will not be hero's so I think they are looking at 2014 and what they can gain in the Senate.........jmho

I am proud for them because it cost them little to have. It's not big enough for water cannon. Couldn't carry enough water, but a 37 MM anti Tank gun on it would be nice along with a  mini-gun. As for the gangs and drugs. About a year ago I was asked a question of would I surrender my guns if the dictator to be passed a law requiring it. My reply was if they can disarm all the gangs in LA country, Chicago Illinois, New York city and Miami and prove to me that they were able to do that I might give them one of my guns. Way I got it figured it would take them at least 20 years just in L.A. and blood would fill the flood sewers in L.A. and they still would never get them all so I would not be worried about having to surrender my 1 gun.............jmho

Well He walks out of Tennessee without any warning which was a blessing. Gosh!!! Gets his Dream Job and destroys a great football program and gets fired. I don't think he is fit to coach a small town high school team and I am wondering how much longer his smoking hot wife will take to fire him and find a winner to associate herself with.................. :rofl: :rock:

The ammo is possibly going to save my life or the life of my family or sex which might kill an old man like me dead even if I can still remember how it works........ :ugh: :ugh: I'm taking the ......................................Ammo and going home........... :up: :up:

I cannot believe how much backbone the Conservatives have come up with all of a sudden but they are taking it to Obama and Reid. Something I have really been noticing a lot recently. The Republicans are speaking in unison yet when it comes to the Senate Harry Reid is doing all the talking. He will always speak for the entire Senate about every bill coming to the Senate even before it arrives that it is dead on arrival. He is acting just like a Dictator and ordering the Senate on what they can and cannot do period. I sure wish some of the real Democrats would begin thinking for them selves and I think Corker and Alexander will vote for the bill the House sent and reject Harry Reid and Obama. Right now if the Country shuts down it's Harry Reid and Obama doing it and not the Republicans because the Republicans are doing only what the majority of the people in America are screaming at the top of their lungs to stop. I read last night that is the Government shuts down it will shut down Parks, White House tours again, and send 100,000 aids and none unessential personnel on furloughs. If they have that many unessential employees in Washington they need to get rid of about 75% of them permanently and down size the Federal Government payroll. I mean it was a democrat that called the people unessential. That is an open admission that these people are not needed....Like I said I'm sure glad that The House Speaker finally got his back bone out of his closet and put it on before going to work.............jmho    

TheDrip and tnguy pretty much summed it up so I will elaborate more on my previous post. I have been renting this 2 bedroom cottage I live in with is part of a triplex with has a Duplex up in front of me. I have been living here almost 15 years. The people in the front two units have been here as long as I have or longer. We have a great landlord that has not raised our rent in over 7 years and the rent is affordable and all of us here live on Social Security. I'm sure they could get more for rent than they do but they have said they would rather have people living in their  properties that will take care of their property and pay their rent on time.  We all got a shock when we learned that one of the two had passed on and the lady was putting the property up for sale. That is scary to have learned because you never know what the new owners are going to expect. I have another place to go that I could have moved to 10 years ago which is a father in law house behind my daughters home that is setting empty just waiting till I move out there and I would not be paying any rent. It is just a little farther out in the country than I would like to live but at least I know I won't be living under a bridge someplace on the street.   Good luck with that ever you decide for your future........ :up: :up:

ok update on this post,. The reason I was asking anyone if they owned a Savage 93 22 mag WMR  is I bought one about a month ago and I love the gun but was having serious magazine issues with it. i checked on line about them and there were a lot of posts about folks having similar issues with the magazines but no one ever said they were able to get their issues resolved. The guy I bought the gun from is a great guy and I have no issues at all with him. He had owned the gun about 4 years he said but had only shot it less than 50 times I think. He said he just never shot it so he sold it and I bought it. Now this is where it gets better. I wanted to buy a new magazine for it and Bass Pro Shop has them but I was afraid of buying what I already had was a defective mag. I had a buddy that is also a member here that actually told me about this site and is an FFl dealer contacted Savage Arms about my problem.They requested he send them the serial number and information off the gun and he did. Savage is sending me a new and improved magazine for the gun and they said I would have it ASAP N/C. They were aware they had Magazine issues in guns made from such and such a serial number to another and any of them that had not been replaced would still be replaced regardless how old the gun is as long as it falls within those serial numbers so anyone that may be having an issue that owns a 93 can contact Savage and get a new mag free. Just wanted to get this out and explain a little about what I was going through but all came out good..... :up: :up: :up:

The people at the Gallatin DMV station seem to know the right buttons to push evidently. When I got my first one there it took 17 days and I had my photo card. A few buddies I know that went for theirs there got them in less than 30 days every time. Same with renewals. A lot faster.

there are Pro's to it and Con's to it and I would look at ever aspect of it before I put my life savings into it..........jmho

There are sites online where you can pay to have back ground check done on anyone.   http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130226120103AAlpcog

Yep, he is delusional for sure but he has been since he got elected so this is nothing new. As far as putting armed Security officers in schools, not a bad idea. Just make sure you put the right kind of Security Officers in them. I have seen armed security officers that could not tell you which is the grip and which is the muzzle of a gun and the first gun shot and they would be outside looking in waiting for the real police to arrive. We already have 1000's of well trained men and women in our military that are unemployed. They are already trained, Many of them have college educations which would allow them to be counselors at the schools and many could be teachers. Some could even be custodians or work in cafeterias and still be armed and ready for any action necessary. They also know gun fire when they hear it regardless of surroundings. I have heard folks say they thought someone dropped something heavy and it made a loud bang and never realized it was gun fire. Military personnel don't have that problem. Plus a soldier is not going to run from gun fire but will run towards it. Why? Because he/she loves what is behind them( children) and hates what might be in front of him that needs to be stopped as fast as possible............jmho

Well, I asked him about an O/U Trap Grade 12 gauge F/F Belgium Browning I know he has with a the Pure Maple Wood that he bought back when he was 18 and I was 16. He gave $495.00 back in 1962 brand new and the gun is now valued in the collectible condition it is in at   $6,500.00 and that is at the low end of the scale of the O/U's Browning guns he owns. I am planning on talking with him again the mid week coming. As far as the inventory goes he has every gun inventoried along with serial numbers models and all other notable items needed for insurance purposes. I am going to ask him this week what the replacement value is that was put on them by the insurance appraiser when he and 3 gun experts came out to prepare to put new insurance on them last year. That should at least give me a round number to look at. I'm betting they are insured at full replacement value if they had to be replaced which of course most of them could not be replaced. I'm glad he is moving out of that crappy state and wish he would come to Tennessee instead of Texas. I wish he would have made this move a long time ago. I'd like to go hunting with him one more time together.  This guy back in his prime could shoot some clay birds. He was Illinois State Handicap Champion for 3 years. I watched him win it by running 500 straight dead clay birds over a 5 day shoot using a Pigeon Grade Winchester Model 12 Pump gun. Runner up hit 498.   Man him and I sure have some memories together. We grew up hunting everything that had a season from Dove and Squirrel to Rabbit and everything in between if it was food related we hunted it...... :yum: :yum: :yum:
