When the sitting president is a Republican, watch the flip. Like I said, you tend to agree more with Fox News, so feel it is less biased and more fair. Ask any Democrat which they think is more fair. I guarantee they will say Fox is the least and think CNN or something is the most fair.

I tuned in to some 'news' channels for the first time in over 4 (or maybe 5?) years on monday, just to try and see what was going on. I flipped between the different channels. I almost immediately remembered why I never watch them. All of them were spouting their biased agenda driven garble almost immediately. The only non-biased reporting I saw on any of the channels (Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, etc.) was from individuals they were interviewing that had no direct affiliation with the channel. And even then, the interviewers were trying to push who they were interviewing into saying a certain thing or make agenda driven assumptions. Ridiculous. Fortunately some who were being interviewed were actually intelligent, and didn't fall for their BS. You have to understand, the Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are NOT news channels. They are news commentary channels. They don't report the news, they report their personal opinions. It isn't that they are biased (though they obviously are), it is that they have specific agendas that have no correlation (usually) with reality. Yes, usually real news is sprinkled in. Like on Monday, all the channels did report on information they were hearing, and covered statements made by the Boston mayor and Chief of Police (I believe). It would be hard to completely not cover what was happening. MSNBC seems the worst because they also fall on the opposite side of the spectrum for most of us on this forum. But don't think for a second that Fox News is any less biased, just because they tend to have views similar to ours. Yes, they can be correct at times. That doesn't mean they still don't suck...

Holy fugg!

Do you prefer Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish, Two Fish, or Fox and Sox. I have all three. I think I can get The Cat in the Hat and The Lorax as well.

This.

This. This is exactly what I have been saying. Open the NICS to all individuals to use on a voluntary basis at their discretion for private sales.

Wow....

I hope I am missing your point, but it sounds like you are implying that you haven't been 'screwed' over by police five times that means police aren't screwing anybody over. I'm fairly certain that isn't indicative of much of anything.

Ok so ask yourselves this...Say a bunch of civilians go out there and lawfully carry in support of the 2a and get charged and convicted.. What are you willing to do for them..

You know what else is illegal? Violating the constitution and individuals rights, yet often times people have no problem doing that. Often times the unpopular thing to do IS the legal thing, so likewise, the popular thing may be the illegal thing. It is a matter of standing up for what is right. Some people are stronger than others in that respect...

Nobody was giving advice. At least I wasn't. I was answering a question. You piped in that you can see no reason to carry a firearm. Whether you think it is a good idea or not has no bearing on whether it is legal or not. 18 USC § 926A Interstate transportation of firearms Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. 18 USC § 921 DEFINITIONS The term “interstate or foreign commerce” includes commerce between any place in a State and any place outside of that State.

Notice they only decide to arrest him when he says he is going to file a complaint? They didn't say anything about it while he was supposedly 'resisting'. Whenever someone is charged with resisting arrest, you can bet your ass it is because the cops got mad and have nothing legitimate. Resisting arrest is the same thing as contempt of cop. Oh yeah, and resisting an unlawful arrest is....LEGAL. He was right. They are a sorry excuse for those that wear the badge honorably. Pause at 3:00-3:01 to see the cop point the guys firearm at his head. At least his finger was off the trigger...

Do what you want. It is your choice to follow or not follow the applicable laws. I'd wager to guess you have never even bothered to look at what the applicable laws are. That is your prerogative. Coming from the guy who sees no reason why you should carry a firearm anyways, I don't even know why you are posting.

You can easily talk yourself into trouble, but almost nobody talks themselves out of trouble. There is no beneficial reason to tell them anything. There are very good reasons on why you shouldn't say anything.

You can justify violating the constitution however you want. It may not be an easy decision, but it sure as hell is easy to do. People give up jobs, benefits, and move all the time at the expense of their family for good and just reasons. People also knowingly violate peoples rights and cause them to have their lives uprooted for unethical and unjust reasons. Money is a big incentive to many. People will do all sorts of jacked up things for a few bucks. Personally, I find that pretty despicable. A solid job with decent pay and excellent benefits, and a 65K bonus is pretty enticing. But if that is at the expense of other peoples rights...no thank you.

If that is your opinion, it is the same for ever carrying, both openly or concealed, correct? The open carry of a loaded firearm is not regulated, except in Philadelphia, in which in order to carry openly you must possess a valid license. The conceal carry of a firearm is only legal with a valid license, which applies to all of PA, and is a license to carry, and not a conceal carry license. That means it authorizes you to carry openly, or concealed, any where in the state (with certain restrictions, like court houses, and other places specifically prohibited). So you, as a NJ resident, without a license to carry, can only carry openly, and cannot carry at all in Philadelphia. You cannot carry concealed.

Why yes I do. Oh, that is what you meant. Never mind. I don't particularly care to see that.

One of the few things I dislike more than politicians are spiders. Now, I'm already pretty wimpy, but when it comes to spiders...biggest pussy ever. I hate this thread.

I still get a kick out of people being excited about only paying a small amount for the NICS....when it is free and shouldn't have to cost you anything. So glad I'll be out of NJ in less than 2 months and back to tax free, no hassle, no fee firearms purchasing again.

Nuts...

Make your head spin? No more than the Supreme Court ruling that as long as something has been infringing on your right for a long time, that is okay.

What is BP?

Just heard a newscaster say that this "certainly looks suspicious". No shit. You mean a bombing at a marathon in Copley Square looks suspicious? I thought this looked pretty normal... I never watch the MSM, and statements like that are the reason.
