Yeah, true.

No. Did you read what I wrote and highlighted? They aren't protesting the proposed bills because they feel it's an attack on the 2nd Amendment, they are protesting because they are afraid the new laws would hurt their business. Big difference.

Too bad they are protesting because they are afraid it will affect their bottom line and not in support of the 2nd Amendment. http://www.outdoorhu...%29&utm_content= Colt Temporarily Closes Down Factory to Protest Gun Control Laws at Connecticut Capitol by Outdoor Hub Reporters on March 18, 2013 submitted by: Daniel Xu Colt Manufacturing Co. has operated in Connecticut for 175 years, and remains one of the nation’s most venerable gun makers. However, a package of gun control bills may threaten the company’s future in the state, along with the livelihoods of its employees. According to the Associated Press, Colt president Dennis Veilleux made the decision last Thursday to shut down the Colt factory for a day so roughly 600 workers can make their voices heard at a public hearing in the state Capitol. There, they waved signs with messages such as “save our jobs.” “These are the faces of the jobs at Colt,” Veilleux told the Associated Press. “Each of these people represents other people in the state. They represent the community and, in a lot of cases, they’re the breadwinners of their families. And more and more, manufacturing jobs are hard to come by.” Along with Colt employees, representatives of the National Rifle Association and other gun owners groups also testified at the hearing. The Capitol building was crowded by both supporters and opponents of the gun control bills, which many feel could have a negative effect on state industry. “You have an industry that’s going to be pretty much shut down, not only the gun manufacturers but all of our vendors and suppliers also. It would be quite a trickle down affect,” a protestor told WTNH. While the bills would not necessarily prohibit companies like Colt from producing firearms, it would ban state residents from purchasing many of the products the company produces. Vielleux says he is aware of customer opinion towards states with heavy gun control laws, like New York, and believes that Connecticut could be worse off for it. As for Colt, he predicts that the company could take a hit to its coffers. “If we ban this product in the state where we make it, our customers will take their business to another brand,” Vielleux stated. “When we start to get erosion of our customers, we lose our market share.”

My first AR was a Model 1. Over 1000 rounds through it without a single failure. Nothing wrong with a Stag.

Agreed Matt. I've said this same thing before, but you will get those on the other side who say "I'm not a single issue voter". Not unless the issue is gay marriage or abortion or more "free" cell phones, healthcare and other "stuff. I'm pro choice, my best friend was gay and died of AIDS years ago. I believe in gay people having the same rights as others, but if more and more Progressive Statists are voted in, we will have less and less freedoms. You can't argue with committed liberals. Their brains don't work the way ours do. I don't think many believe in the 2A the way you and I do, I think they just like to shoot guns, but if they get taken away, that's ok because gays can marry, they can kill potential babies, moments before they are to be born and they will still get lots of "FREE STUFF" from the gov't they voted in. Remember, it's not what they say, but what they do.

Yep: Beretta 84FS Cheetah Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) carries a pair of Beretta 84FS Cheetahs as her sidearms in the film. These were selected because Moss has small hands and full sized Beretta 92Fs would be gigantic in her hands. What is interesting to note is that besides the Micro Uzi used in the beginning of the lobby scene, this is the only gun that Trinity feels she needs to bring into a building guarded by three agents. Meanwhile, Neo packs about a dozen guns and a bomb. Beretta 84FS Cheetah - .380 ACP. Trinity draws her Beretta 84FS Cheetahs at the start of the film. Trinity holds her Beretta Cheetah on an Agent at point blank so he is unable to dodge the bullet, and says... ..."Dodge this." Two Beretta 84FS pistols passed off as Beretta 92FS's are seen tucked in Neo's waist. Note the forward curve on the grips and the frame mounted safeties. The size difference between the 84FS and 92FS is not that visible when tucked into a belt like this.

Lol, that's ok. I'd rather be in AZ than NJ. If I could get a job in the Sedona area without the HUGE pay cut, I'd be there. Tombstone was pretty neat. I haven't been to Williams, may go this time. Been to South Rim once and North Rim twice. Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelly, Winslow, Page. Pretty place. Painted Desert.

Even better, I got a call from them last year or the year before telling me they suspected fraud, which there was, they locked my account and were sending me a new card. Very happy.

On my 2nd CPO Lexus RX. Definitely worth it. Nice vehicle, nice ride and never had a problem with them honoring the warranty. 100,000 total miles and 3 years from date of purchase.
