    They pick that flag because they are ignorant rednecks who know nothing of history.

    As far as "treasonous secessionists" goes, where does it say a State cannot secede from the union?

    They are not "rednecks" as Patrick Huber labeled them in 1995. They are just ignorant.

    from WV Public broadcasting:

    Mingo County native, Wilma Lee Steele, is one of the board members for the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum. Steele is a retired art teacher. For her the passion of sharing this history started from telling young activists about the history behind the word "redneck" and the red bandana. Striking miners tied Red Bandanas around their necks during the march on Blair Mountain.

    It really pisses me off that the Confederate Battle Flag has been turned into a symbol of hate. I happen to be proud of my Southern Heritage, but I don't dare show it without people judging me wrongly. 

    Another thing is the Celebrate Diversity thing. Be proud of your heritage, family history, national lineage, etc. Except of course if you happen to a Southern, White American. In that case its perfectly acceptable to discriminate and automatically assume that person is a racist, anti-government idiot. 

    Equality is for other people. 

    if you are offended by a statue or a symbol, you need to grow some thicker skin. My opinions, feelings, and beliefs are no more or less protected than the neo-nazi or klansman. that sword cuts both ways.

  3. I missed doing this when I joined. And I've had oral surgery Monday so have not responded to some of y'all. To newer members I've missed welcome. To all of the new residents hope you enjoy our state! I love it so much I suffer through allergies for 3 seasons of the year.

  4. Just to clarify. Gunbroker isn't crazy. It's the bidders. Marlin was sold and some of their rifles are in short supply so the entire line gets a bump. Think of it from a new gunner's view, a non-enthusiast to say. You've heard Marlin was sold, some of their products are hard to get, others are desirable due to higher quality, lever guns have seen a resurgence in popularity. Add in the new person wants something non offensive to the rest of the non shooters and the powers that be and prices go up. there are still deals to be had if you know how to look.

    I have noticed a higher level of price gouging on ammo from GB but if you want top dollar you want to get your product in front of as many eyes as possible.

  5. It isn't just 2A that is being attacked. It's 1A also. The left is attempting tp squelch any opposition and strip our only means of resistance to overbearing government.

    How many times have you read or heard that the response would have been different if it were B L M or Anti  fa? And yet the MSM is pushing the capitol officer's death is under investigation with no mention of the unarmed white female protester's shooting being investigated. Had it been one of the members of their protest groups it would be the top story. Add in the capitol police opening doors and welcoming the Trump supporters in and see what conclusion you come to.

    Lastly, I do not believe we need to engage in show of force armed protests. Taking up arms should be a last resort in any case as we preach in self defense. Ask yourself at what point do we stop backing up. I have my own line in the sand that reflects my current physical condition but have no doubt that if my fellow citizen is being unjustly attacked I will render assistance.

    No, there's plenty of idiots who just can't resist the urge to dress up in their camo and armor, carry their AR decked out with every known accoutrement and attachment, and parade around trying to draw as much attention to themselves as possible.  Unfortunately, there will always be a number of nutcases mixed in with the normal bunch of over-dressed Weight Watchers dropouts who are itching to begin WWIII and who will look for every avenue to kick off the festivities themselves.  David is absolutely correct, this is a time to stay at home, keep a low profile, and not give the nutjobs and antis any more ammunition against gun owners and enthusiasts ...

    This is true. But I resent the fat joke. I'm old and I've had a lot of surgeries!

    The time has not yet come. But I am sure it will.

    Gotta ask...a 2" 45 wheelie? What is it. Where is it? did you buy it? lol

    2 inch barrel .45 ACP revolver. it was on ARMSLIST.COM in Tennessee. It is a Charter Arms Pitbull listed outside Chattanooga. No, I haven't bought it,,,yet. 🙂

     

  8. By participating in these forums, we agree to abide by the rules set forth. That is That.

    On the subject of backing up what someone said they heard, I do agree it is up to the reader to do the research. SOMETIMES rumors are the only truth you will hear before a law is on the books. I thought that is what the 2A forum was for, so we could stay abreast of what others heard. We certainly cannot trust any single source any more, the more input the better.

    Just remember we are all in this together and maintain decorum. Don't insult your comrades in battle, they are watching your back. If they err, be nice and try to lead them to see it for themselves. If you can't do that, just let it go as you would with any good friend.

    The Mandalorian

    It sucks that you have to watch 11 movies just to be able to fully appreciate the best Star Wars content to date, but this is the way. 

    I was excited when I saw the teasers for Mandalorian. Then found out it was Star Wars.

    I saw Star Wars on the first day it opened in a theater in Jackson, Tn. back in 1977.  I was 16 at the time, and enjoyed a good science fiction movie (still do in fact).  I never watched Seinfeld either, and don't really know what type of show Friends was/is, as I've barely even heard of it ...

    I like sci fi. But more of a car chase guy. Mad Max, California Kid, original Gone in 60 Seconds...Christine 🙂

    I have grown to like Friends, but that's Jenifer Aniston's fault.

    And everybody should watch the Star Wars saga at some point in their lives 🙂

    OK, that does resemble the apple. And NOT seeing it is kinda my thing now. At 59 years old Iwas around when the first one came out. Just never appealed to me. wasn't a Seinfeld or Friends fan either
