No need to place your weapons on consignment. Pay for benefactor status and sell them here. You'll sell them quicker and get more money. That $35.00 will save you much more.

You know, I absolutely think that the TARP funds and other "bailouts" are truely appalling. However, I've also been listening to the "people" bitch about how we only "bail out" large companies, ever since. Guess what, we "bail out" the citizens of the US with over half of the entire federal budget on an annual basis. This far eclipses any corporate bailouts that have occurred. Combine this with the fact that our corporations pay a disproportionally large amount of our tax dollars and you'll understand that we didn't really bail them out, we just gave them back some of their own money. Whereas, the citizens that recieve entitlement funds, never contributed to the funds at all. My question to you is : Do you think citizens that have taken entitlement funds should have their freedom of speech stripped from them? If so, what other rights would you like them to be denied of?

Here's what they're doing, OS. National Right to Work: Are You Funding Your Union's Federal PAC (Political Action Committee) Unknowingly or Against Your Will? | National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation

The SCOTUS opinion actually still limits the amount of money that unions and corporations can directly contribute to campaigns. What it does do, is allows them to directly campaign for a candidate. And, yes, the ruling equally applies to unions and corporations. It does not pick favorites. While the difference between these two things is subtle, it is indeed different and pretty much moots the direct contribution discussion. But if nobody noticed, George Soros pretty much picked our POTUS, last time around. I do have far more faith in our Fortune 500 than I do him. He was allowed to do anything and everything, while Corporate America's hands were tied. Who thinks that's fair?

C'mon, OS, don't turn commie/hippie on us. We need you on our side. Don't pull an Arlen Spector.

Actually, this has been going on since before our founding. The French were very instrumental in our politics leading up to the Revolutionary War. Not allowing corporations (foreign or otherwise) to enter into campaign spending and politics is actually a very new idea.

While I don't necessarily believe that our corporations should have that much sway, I do believe in the First Amendment as much as I believe in the Second. The way we spend our money is the ultimate way we, as citizens, express ourselves. Corporations also have those same rights of free speech because they're run by, worked at, and patronized by our citizens. So, will there be more spending? Absolutely. Will it always be pretty? Absolutely not. Is it absolutely necessary for a free society? Yes.

Damn, this was getting good.

That's why you'll be singing Rocky Top!!!! Now, your duty, when you come to Tennessee, is to not complain about things not being the same as it is in New York. We openly welcome our northern brethren, but not if they try to change who we are.

This thread is proof of the fact that in a SHTF situation (the whole point of the post), we're all screwed. You can bet that a government that turns against it's people, will be united in its willingness to crush a citizens revolt. An un-united citizenry, will be helpless to defend itself against a tyranical or ineffective government. Just a thought.

Welcome to The Great State of Tennessee. You'll be singing Rocky Top in no time. As far as your guns go, leave them in New York. It's perfectly legal to bring them with you (there is no license for long gun or handgun ownership), but why bother. You can buy much better stuff here in Tennessee (you know you want an AR-15 or an NFA weapon)!!!! Handgun Carry Permits (not CCW, you can open carry with one)are relatively easy to get because we're a must issue state (the burden of proof that you are not qualified lies on the government, not vice versa). You just have to take the class, submit your application and fee, get your finger prints and wait (usually less than 90 days but sometimes a little more).

People have held off on buying the XCR because the ACR was coming out. I'll bet now that the ACR is out with its insane price point, Robinson will start selling a lot of these.

And how 'bout that Glock AR that The COOP promised us?

The only real downside is availability of the ammo. An AR without ammo is a very expensive club. Like those who previously posted, get a 6.8 upper and shoot it until you run out of ammo and can't get any more, then switch to 5.56. Remember, there have been lots of "better mouse trap" calibers that have emerged, over the years. Most have fallen to the way side. So, always have a backup plan with a caliber that has withstood the test of time.

My understanding is that actually importing your pelts and heads to the US is insanely expensive (thousands of $) due to taxes. I've heard of people who've been on hunts without doing their homework, and had to leave their game on the Dark Continent.

What's the price on these and when will they ship? The revolver is the one I want to know about.

If those are your states of origin and destination, then you're scewed anyway. Sorry, but you simply can not carry legally under those conditions.

Hell yeah, I'm scared. My lights flicker and thunder booms every time I click on this thread. Don't say I didn't try to warn you. I'm holding my lucky rabbit's foot right now and have my tin-foil hat on.

From the bginning, I told people that I had trouble with someone who talked before they had done . I was impressed with Monte's defense, though. Wished we could have kept him. But, a man who won't stand up to his own child and at least try to steer him the right direction, gets very little respect from me.

I don't ride a motorcycle but I do know the answer to the non-reciprocal states. The Firearm Owners Prection Act of 1986 allows for the transport of a firearm across state lines providing that 1) The weapon is unloaded 2) It is locked in a compartment without easy access (locked saddle bags should suffice) 3) It is legal to possess in both the state of origin and the state of destination 4)You make no non-emergency stops (getting gas is OK but not staying in a hotel over-night). Hope this helps.

I'm not sure why the GOA and NRA backed Scott Brown (NRA gave him a "A" rating) because he's for background checks on private firearm sales and for liscensing for gun ownership (not really a champion for gun rights). All that being said, I'm glad he won.

Is this you?

The latest American Rifleman, did an extensive article on all these .380 pocket guns and the results, while not surprising to those of us that have actually shot these guns, was relatively surpising coming from the NRA. They found that all, but the Rohrbaugh, were especially finicky and required extensive breaking in periods before thay were ready for action due to multiple failures to feed and eject. Couple this with the difficulty in finding ammo to break the weapons in with and the discomfort of actually shooting these things, they are impractical at best even though they are popular (I own a P3AT). I was shocked that the NRA published this article. They usually rubber stamp every POS gun that goes on the market because they rely so heavily on the donations from the weapon producers. +1000 to the NRA on this article. They finally got some cajones.
