I don't know if that is true or not but if it is, I would say that it is most likely due to the fact that they are brand new and not 25+ years old. If you owned a car for 25+ years and were still using it as a daily driver it to would need more maintance more often than a brand new car. The cool factor for the F-22's comes from what they are suppose to be capable of, not what they actually are. They still need to work out the bugs before it will be the fighter that it is suppose to be.

Our presence even being felt at Staples!
The being maried part means you have no excuse for thinking any thing else but taking her to the range preferably in some sort of group shoot, where us single guys can meet her.

@ OP DId you offer to take her shooting? Actuallly going shooting is the best push for people that are on the fence. While that works sometimes I have ran into people that brush that off saying find a new hobbie guns are to dangerous

DAMN!, 20 years for a warning shot, in FLORIDA!!!
If I read it right it sounds like she was sentenced because of the backlash prior in the martian case and or because that corey person is anti gun. Its also cases like this which to make manditory sentences unconstitutional.

Pennsgrove middle school on lockdown
Is it even legal for the police to charge him with possession of a hand gun, as even in NJ paintball guns are not firearms. Since the police already know that it is a paintball gun, it means they are charging him with a crime they know he did not commit. That’s not really any different than if they just started arresting people off the street and charging them with whatever crime they felt like.

Bought a gun used in a crime?
I actually had somthing like that happen before to me. I had bought a pistol and a day or two later I got a call asking if i minded returning the pistol because it was stolen but I did not have to if i did not want to. I decided it was probably best to return it. When I returned it they gave me the full story. Turns out it belonged to a woman who's husband had passed away and the pistol legaly belonged to her. Her soon had taken (not sure if he took it from her house or if he had been borrowing it) and sold it to the store. According to the store because the woman did not want to press charges with the police it was not officially considered stolen by law enforcement.

Mob Violence and Self Defense
I have a hard time feeling sory for the guy. The article says that he did chase a bunch of them off with a kitchen knife prior to the attack. It also says he he has a history of violence, not that, that makes it alright but, changes the story to "A** hole who chased kids with knife gets than gets his a** kicked when they come back after him"

Teacher fired
I am kind of curious what the people that voted other think should have happened?

Teacher fired
From most of the articles I read it sounds like the students found the video though I read that an early article on the incident said it was a teacher that found it. (my guess is the article that said that was mistaken) I understand the distraction part of why they fired her, but like I said In the OP they could have easily solved the distraction part by switching her to a lower or higher grade. So it is my opinion that they fired her primarily because of moral reasons or more to the point what they consider moral.

Teacher fired
http://www.msnbc.msn...__utmk=44789348 Ok here is an interesting topic of discussion, I came across on another forum. What happened here was a California middle school was fired because she had appeared in a porno. She did this porno prior to her becoming a teacher, and she has been a teacher for a few years now. After putting her on paid suspension for the last month the school board decided that while she had not done anything illegal she had done something immoral, and that she would be a distraction to the students so the unanimously voted to fire her. So the question is what do you think on this topic? My personal opinion is No I do not believe she should have been fired over something she did years ago which is not illegal. While it may be considered a distraction to the students there is a very simple fix to that. All they had to do was move her to a younger grade where you would not expect students of that age group to be looking at porn (like 4th grade and below), or a higher set of grades (like 11th or 12th) where while it may cause a little distraction it would be short lived. If you think you need to do more "research" in to this topic, other news articals do include more information, but I do not think most if not all of that information is needed for a proper discussion here.

Media Matters going after the NRA??
I will say when I read the quote to me it sounded like he was threating himself not the president.

How's this for a flashlight
No, at the very least i believe it would be classified as a SBR.

So how old are most people here anyway?
24 (25 next month) started shooting when I was 12 (with the boyscouts then once a year till I was 16) Started again when I when I was 22 when I bought my first rifle. (nowI got 13 rifles 2 shotguns and 4 pistols an need one more fire arm to make an even 20) I am really surprised at the results so far. accourding to the poll there are alot more yonger shooters than I would have expected. There is almost as many people under 35 here than over. My hope is that this is a sign that the us yonger people are getting into the hobby in increasing numbers. Though the pessimistic side of me says that apearance is just because the older generations use the internet less.

Wait... What? Weightlifter shoots himself with.... his dumbbells
As for not having a gun it's possible that a friend of his took him shooting and thats why he had some ammo, wether he bought some or accidently ended up with a few rounds. As for having amunition on the floor, you are telling me you find it impossible to believe ammo somtimes falls on the floor or behind stuff without some one knowing. When I was getting ready to move out of my last apartment I found a fullmoon clip of .45 ACP under my couch. Here is just one way it could have happened. Guy gose shooting with a friend. Upon gettin home he finds he has a bullet in his pocket. He puts the bullet on a shef, table, etc.., that the dumb bells sit next to and forgets about it. Bullet falls between the dumbbells. he Goes to work out when finishes drops the dumbbell back where he stores it. It catches the very edge of the bullet flipping it up an triggering it.

Really, Abraham Lincoln?
My mistake I was thinking that they used a circular pattern on the flag, but it appears that the circular pattern was just an alternate design.

Really, Abraham Lincoln?
I could not help but notice a major historical inacccuracy in the trailer... the flag has too many stars for the time period, but its the only one i could find

A Witness Speaks........
For the most part I agree. I once debated the topic of hate crimes on another forum. About the best reason they came up with is because unlike normal crimes hate crimes are used to cause fear in a certain race of individuals. While that argument has some merit i'd say terrorism fits just as well if hate crimes are being used to cause fear(like what the KKK use to do) There are plenty of crazy bad guys that choose there victims based on a certian profile, to say that some one who chooses a victim based on hair color is differnt than some one who picks thier victims based on skin color is just plain wrong.

Anyone Driven Cross Country?
Well here are some pictures( I am using a spoiler tag because I am posting quite a few.) As far as gas prices go they seemed pretty consistant along the highways at major stops. I was paying about $4 a gallon for diesel the whole way plus or minus 3 cents unless you stop at some minior little town. Than I saw prices around $4.15 to $4.20 a gallon. Also if your in one of the smaller stops don't go for the first gas station you see somtimes a gas station a block down the road would be 5 cents cheeper at least in those small town stops.

Anyone Driven Cross Country?
I literally just finished a trip across country last week. I drove my truck pulling my mini all the way from Great Falls, MT to Hampton, VA. I highly, highly recomend it to any one, as long as you do not mind long distance driving. Lucky for me I love to just drive and driving does not tire me out, so I can drive for hours on end with little more than a bathroom break. Now on my trip I stopped at Mt Rushmore, the Badlands National Park, The Mall of America, Licolon's tomb, the Duesenberg Muesum, and the Wright Paterson Air Force Muesum (I had also wanted to go to the CMP but it would have been sunday). All of which are really cool. I have also been to Glacier national park, and Yellowstone before. I do have some suggestions for you. If you have a girlfriend get her to go with you, I would expect it to make the trip twice as awsome. If you do not have a girlfriend then ask one or two very good friends to go with you (ones you would not mind hanging out weeks on end together with.) I did the entire trip by myself becuse I do not have a girlfriend currently and my friends could not because of work. Not a huge deal to me since I am a bit of a loner any way, but good company could have only made the trip better.(plus you can alway get them to split the cost of gas, hotels, ect..., making the trip cheeper for you. Second have a general plan on what places you would like to visit, but do not plan the when you want to get there. For example don't go well if I leave site X at this time and drive Y amout of miles on sunday I can drive for B more hours monday and make it to site Z by 1400 hrs giving me 3 hours before they close to look around. This causes two problems. A) there may be days where you get a late start or traffic delays may slow you down which throws every thing off time wise. B) some things you might realize that a place is bigger than you expected and or you just will want to spend more time there, which again will throw your times off for other things or cause you to cut a vist shorter than you would have liked. Third, If you do not get to a site at least 5 hours before they close wait to the next day to see. Reason being if you want to spend more time than you originally thought it would take you can't because the closed on you. Then because you already saw most of the stuff you are not interested in paying the enterance fee again to see the last bit and would rather start on your way to your next destionation any way. The Duesenberg Muesum is a perfect example of this for me. I got there with three hours left till they closed. I had thought that would be enough time but as time passed I felt more and more rushed to see every thing and therefore while I manged to see every thing by the time they closed, there was a lot of things I never really got to actually look at. (if that makes sense) Fourth, Plan on seeing side atractions. Along the road you will see advertisements to all sorts of places that you would not have thought to see if they were even there in the first place. You should go stop and see at least some of them, as that has always been part of the spirit of making a road trip. This is one of my biggest regrets from my trip. While I wanted to stop and see some of them I was too busy trying to keep my schedule in order to see the next place I planned to see, since my time was a bit limited in total. If you would like I could post some pictures?
