OWNED!

I would be concerned that the Pres is going to attack guns to make it look like his administration is doing something in order to distract from the fiscal cliff. I think both parties in their hearts know we need to go over the cliff. Our country has collapsed. We need both increased revenue and decreased expenditures. Both parties hammered out the cliff deal, and I am inclined to think that they have agreed that we should all ride over it while they pretend to work on a solution. They can conveniently blame each other thereby effectively diffusing responsibility. Since Obama is going to take one on the chin for the cliff, he can use a big weapons ban to cheer up his constituents.

After the election I took the flag down altogether for a few days. I'm not sure there is an America anymore. As least not one worth belonging to.

Actually, if I recall correctly, we kicked Iraq's ass in a war to liberate Kuwait. I know this was entirely self-interested, but we did legitimately assist an allied soverign nation that was invaded. This action was concluded with a treaty. Saddam persistently pushed the bounds and violated this treaty. WMD or no WMD, you violate a treaty with the US you get your ass kicked again.

What if for personal reasons, I someday felt a need to store my firearms for an indeterminate duration - for sake of argument, say underground. What is the best method? Drench everything with oil, wrap in plastic and put in a PVC tube?

Not a hard choice for me.

Sounds like CTD is starting to backpedal faster than Lance Armstrong front-pedals...

I'm interested in hearing this loophole, too. Everyone makes it sound like you can go to a show and walk out with an M60, a crate of chinese stars, a couple hand grenades and a howitzer on the trailer hitch. What gives?

Hindsight is 20-20. The only way that you know that someone is going to snap is after the fact, unfortunately. In some cases there might be previous sentinel episodes that raise concern, but everyone has a first episode. Maybe this was the first episode for this guy. Further complicating things, it is pretty well established that changes to psych meds can lead to problems with impulse control.

Sadly, I think he is rather an imbecile on pretty much every issue he opens his mouth to speak about. This clown doesn't have adequate credentials to run a fast food franchise and he's the POTUS? God help us.

Wow. I'm usually pretty surly, but this made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. God bless the USA!

Screw them. Let them be gone from the market. They were nothing but a pain in the rear.

This kind of jackassery is going to end in a shootout some day. Imagine what might have happened if you had not been able to clearly identify them as police. Or if you were someone who took their private property a little more seriously. There are going to be a lot of these incidents, and a lot of LEOs and civvies shot if this keeps up.

I think a big notion we need to dispel is that average LEOs have superhuman firearms training and skills. Unless an LEO is part of a special ops unit, it would not be difficult at all for an average civilian to train themsleves to a much higher level. I used to shoot with a lot of cops, and for a couple of them the safest place to stand on the range would have been behind the silhouette. Most were pretty good shots. None were on the level of competition shooters. I'm not knocking cops. To many I have spoken with, shooting isn't fun, it is a job responsibility. They do what they need to in order to stay qualified and that is it. I used to shoot a ton more than a lot of them.

I feel much better now. If that is the kind of tard that is coming after my guns, I'm just painting all the tips orange.

I don't know we might fare much better with a typical libtard: Rational Citizen: "So you want to ban assault rifles, right?" Libtard: "Absolutely!" Rational Citizen: "So by 'assault rifle,' you mean like the military uses, right? A Machine gun, an automatic rifle?" Libtard: "Absolutely!" Rational Citizen: "Ok, so we will approve a law defining 'assault rifle' to mean all fully automatic rifles and then ban them. I completely agree!" Libtard collapses from ecstasy, not realizing he excluded all readily available civillian arms and banned something already banned.

Hmm, bunch of dudes in Joliet sitting in a car with a loaded gun. What could go wrong? They were probably on the way to church. Epic fail! In spite of humanity's best efforts, Darwin still shines through.

Politicians live on a steady diet of exceptions.

Anyone know if they are way behind sending membership cards out? I have had my 30 day card for about 90 days with no further contact.

If a cop jumps an unarmed, unarrested relative of mine from behind like that, I'm pretty sure we will wind up in adjoining cells. What do they seriously expect bystanders to do? Sit there and watch an unarmed person get their head kicked in? It's nice working for the government. Evern when you are wrong, you are right. Have a doubt? Swing by Edison.

Wouldn't help. When a madman bent on destruction has no concern whether he lives or dies, it will be damn hard to stop him. Most likely would have just had a dead security guard added to the mix. Unless you are lucky, the only thing that will stop a madamn with a gun is a rationally thinking man with a gun. Its a good thing this guy popped himself when he did. As unthinkable as it might be, this could have ben twice as bad.

I would have bought the damn thing today, for two reasons: 1. Every time I hear about a psycho shooting someplace up, it makes me want to make it as likely as possible that I could return fire. 2. The administration is probably cooking up some kind of wacky executive order even as we type. This time next year you'll probably need NICS clearance to buy a swiss army knife.

It's a shame for a horse's ass to go through life possibly never realizing they are a horse's ass. You did her a service by alerting her.

I'm pretty sure that would cause a black hole to develop.
