I can't get the link to work!!!!

Dear Douglas, On behalf of everyone here at NRA, thank you for joining NRA and making our online March for Freedom a HUGE success! Thanks to you and thousands of freedom-loving patriots across our great nation, we welcomed 28,644 NEW NRA members into our ranks in just the past week alone! Please know that I am honored and grateful to have you fighting with me and NRA! Sincerely,

Back when I was hunting small game, Rabbits, quail etc etc I carried a Winchester model 12 in 20 gauge. It was a great pump gun and was not as heavy as many pump guns but finding one to buy today maybe be a chore since they discontinued making the Model 12 Winchesters in 1965 when they went to the 1200 series..........JMHO

I agree that all 2nd Amendment gun owning people need to begin to have a lot more voice in what is going on right now. I beieve we should have began back years ago building a coalition for events just like these. For all to many years we fed funds to the NRA because they were the mouth piece for the gun owners and for years they were there to fight the 2nd Amendment fights in the courts. It appears that the NRA of today is not the NRA of 20 years ago. Yesterday it was mentioned that there are other groups out there that are also 2nd Amendment supporters that might need to be approached and have a talk with and learn what their goals are. I also realize that the time to be fighting and discussing the 2nd Amendment rights and gun rights of gun owners is not the day after a madman has just shot up a school, a church, a theater or a mall. That is when the anti-gun anti 2nd Amendment people have their time. That is when the left main stream media is giving it's full support behind all of the anti - groups and probably rightly so because in most cases many people have lost their lives or have been wounded and family members are suffering. We need to pick and choose our time carefully as to when were are going to put on our displays of Pro-2nd Amendment gun owner rights. Thing right now is just about the time gets close to right for us another maniac goes on a shooting spree and the anti-movement is given more ammuntition for their protests. My question now is if we get an opening with no crazies doing anything stupid what would be a positive first move we need to make to get our side started? I know voting is one but elections don't come often enough and we need something we can keep working on everyday in some form. I have been writing all my elected officials but they are droping like flies and changing jobs so keeping up with them has become an issue. I wrote the NRA yesterday but I would also like to see more links to other organizations to look at and research and possibly join and send them my support it would be appreciated.

The Clarksville I remember last trip through was anything but beautiful. I mean it was not like a little pig pen or anything and yea you can find something beautiful in any town if you look hard enough but just an over all view Clarksville ain't it................JMHO

Thats exactly why I avoid all parts of social media. It is nothing more than one big gossip community like all the tabloids at check out in Krogers!!!!

The appearence of the security guard could have also altered his escape plans not knowing if there was more of them and were they armed........Just a thought!!

I would also but odds are we won't hear or get a thank you for your donations or anything else. If we do it will be a shock. Maybe it will spark Chris and Wayne to realize we are watching them and their actions and expecting more in our favor from the NRA than we have been seeing recently. It might even been good to sit down and write them about a million letters expressing out dissappointment in their actions recently and tel them we want to see more support for our donations.........JMHO

I just signed up my 12 year old Grandson and his 23 year old brother with 2 year memberships. I call them both and told them what I was going to do and they both said great and I ask each of them which magazine they wanted to receive. I think they will both receive a duffle bag also but not sure............

Yep and they are all up there in DC for three things! Money, Power and Control. Doing something for the people that elected is a NO NO unless they will make money off of it, Get more power from it and have complete control of it. I look for it to get a whole lot worse before it gets better because the present group of Millinums have an exact Zero clue on what their doing and right now they seem to be gaining control and power quick! I am glad I am old and maybe I won't be alive when they finally destroy the Country I love............JMHO

I'm sure glad he didn't get that door kicked in with all those police officers out side the door cause the guy with the deer rifle in the house probably would have got arrested. Charged with over-kill of a bad guy. Charged him with using to big a gun to protect his home and himself from harm!!!

I never thought they were!!! I have always thought they were in it for their own personal gains but I could be mistaken.................

The 2 key sentences in this post is: " The hard part is the government systems that do not talk to each other." Part of the problems is the lack of data in these databases. These two issues right here could have prevented the school shooting in Florida but because of these 2 sentences the shooter was able to carry it out. The Anti-gun people want to blame to in-animated (GUN) for their failure to their own systems not working! I was under the impression that the Department of Homeland Security was developed and put into action to correct this exact problem and get these Alphabet Federal Departments Communicating but I have not seen the Department of Homeland Security do squat to correct this problem and because of their inability to do their job it always comes back to the in-animated object (GUN) is at fault.....................JMHO

If that is their goal it is going to be an almost impossible task to get done. That would require one HELL of an honor system if they think every time someone wants to sell a gun to another local person it would mean they would both have to make a trip to an FF dealer, pay FFL fees and back ground check fees. I just don't see that happening. I can kind of understand the closing the loop hole at gun shows on parking lot sales. The seller has no clue if he is selling a gun to a wanted felon where in a local FTF a seller can require ID, HCP, and bill of sale that is not done at Gun Show parking lot sales. Thing is if a wanted dangerous felon wants a gun they will get one some how some way. I just don't see the anti-gun people getting that type of background check passed..................JMHO

You have a point but if I am wanting to buy a gun that will require a credit card I am the type that will wait till a used one comes up for sale and do a FTF or buy one in state that can be shipped and pay cash. I will just put the cash back until I have enough to buy said gun. I do realize that what the seller does with the money I have no control over but I have avoided me using a card to get what I want.........JMHO

I realize a lot of folks don't think a 380 is enough gun to do the job. Practice with the gun till your as good as you can get, use the right ammo and put the first 2 rounds where they need to be and I would trust a 380 as much as any caliber I could possibly want to carry.......JMHO

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer so sometimes I have to ask questions. I keep hearing and reading all these anti-gun people screaming for back ground checks. Every time I have purchased a gun from any retail outlet, licensed Gun store etc they run a back ground check on me before they will allow me to purchase a firearm. JUst what BACK GROUND CHECKS are these anti-gun people wanting since I go through one everytime I purchase a gun. Someone please explain this to me. Thanks You for your help. Bersaguy

Do you really feel these banks would be willing to give up the dollar figures they make each day off of sales of firearms, ammo, firearm parts or anything shooting related that take place on any given day?

Ok, I won't worry about it. I was not gonna loose much sleep over it anyway. This country was founded and built with guns and I have a feeling guns will keep it up and operational regardless of how the anti gun folks feel about it............jmho

Sorry, does this mean I need to worrry about renewing my HCP in August?

As sign of what?

It's great that they caught them but I wonder how many of the guns they recovered besides the one they caught the 19 years old with?

Does that mean I need to worry about renewing my CCP in August since I am 70 years old?

Back in my younger days if they had a hunting season on something, I hunted it. Began with Squirrel and Dove and then it was Quail, rabbit, duck, deer, and when all the seasons ended it was back to squirrels cause it was the last season to close each year. Now 50 years later I spend about 150.00 on wild critter food and have about 8 tree rat feeders up and I have counted as many as 15 on the feeders or on the ground under them eating left overs and they look like Tree Hogs they are so fat. They are so fat Darby can out run them and she has to turn around when she runs past one of them but by then they have found another tree to get up. It's funny to watch them scatter when she clears the storm door and she has no idea which one to chase. I don't hunt anything any more but I sure did enjoy doing it for about 45+ years..................

Yea!!! That is why my house looks like a posti-note factory. I have notes up reminding me to read notes...................
