I guess this is what every kid wants in 2012...lol

OMG I think I would shoot myself.... unless I could hook up with that KATE!

Ah so we agree to disagree then- good. We both agree that each other is wrong. Good enough for me. Let's move on.

You better button it then.

Look son, I don't have to explain in detail my "plan." The comment was specifically about the sound of a racking shotgun being a deterrent. You don't think it's possible. I do. Merry Christmas. As far as being mature- I repeat: you first. You're the one who started this mess with your comment "For the children, stop. It is useless Hollywood BS that may very well get you killed." "CHILDREN"? Now who's being immature as well as condescending?

You first, SON.

So, the system is rigged- popular vote has become completely irrelevant. The government can "do" whatever they need to to get "their guy(s)" into power, despite what the people of America want. Do they WANT us to enact our 2nd Amendment rights or something? [no need to answer that, I know the answer]

You must be thick. Or you are making the mistake of thinking I am. I'm not wasting anymore time explaining common sense to you. For example, did you know I take a breath every few seconds? But I shouldn't have to explain that to you. Ditto on calling 911, gathering family members, etc. Common sense. Since this IS a gun forum, I just assumed that YOU would have YOUR head in the game, and details like these wouldn't have to be spelled out to you. Apparently I assumed wrong. A punk (who could very easily be a juvenile) breaking into my house will most certainly be interested in the sound of a shotgun racking, I assure you. And if he's not, and decides to continue his criminal activities, he'll be shot. And as I stated, I would much rather scare someone off and not have to deal with the police/court nightmare of shooting them. Obviously you feel differently. I guess you'd rather just pop out from behind a corner and start throwing lead? No time for the common sense actions of letting the intruder know you're home, you're armed, the police are on the way, and they will end up either dead or arrested unless they leave immediately? Obviously we have different ideas of how to go about NOT shooting someone unless absolutely necessary.

Can I get an AMEN!!!

I don't. I think the GOP is a lost cause at this point. And they are going to make sure they stay that way- they've already made it clear the Tea Party is NOT welcome in the GOP.

Oh jeez- yeah I did NOT know that part! A 3rd party would be a complete disaster in that case... that's all we need, our government leaders choosing our government leaders.

yes, yes... we all want to be Navy SEALS. At that range, almost anything would have "taken out" Bin Laden. Including a .22 Stinger to the head.

And that is where they will make there mistake in my house, NJ right to defend laws be damned. Kill or be killed. I will kill. Racking a shotgun will get you killed huh? That's a new one. You DO realize, son, that the shotgun will actually be LOADED and the owner will be prepared to FIRE it, right? No one is talking about using the sound of an EMPTY racking shotgun to scare anybody off. I figured you would have just assumed that, being that this IS a GUN forum.

Nice!! Guns up in five!! I was just joking anyway... I meant a 7.62 AR. That's become my quest. I love love the AR ergonomics, the recoil cylinder, the pistol grip, but no way would I trade my Mini-30 for an AR.... which is why I'm so interested in the hybrid. Those rifles look...uh..."well endowed".... IF ya know what I mean.....

I was referring to 762 as opposed to 300, but 556 works as well... if you like to shoot that light stuff.

And, that no matter how hard you try to follow the letter of the law, it has been written so vaguely as to be able to be used against you in any circumstance, through "interpretation."

I find it ridiculous that the govt actually expects us to be able to comprehend and follow such legalese. It's almost as if they WANT US to break the law unknowingly. And that goes double for the IRS.

Damn shame. Why can't charities just APPRECIATE THE MONEY WE GIVE and not turn political? The people it hurts in the end are the people they are trying to help. jackasses.

If you go that way, please keep us informed... I've been interested in a 7.62x39 AR, but am new to "AR World", so don't know much about the building blocks. I know Rock River HAS a 7.62x39, can supposedly pre-order on their website, and G&A just gave a pretty glowing review of it. Uses standard AK mags. Personally, I'd be much more interested in an existing, widely available, caliber instead of a boutique caliber. This wouldn't be a novelty gun for me, it would become my SHTF rifle.

I feel the opposite: how it does in committee will be very telling of party politics on the REPUBLICAN side of things, since the republican party is the full of RINOs, and ready to fold like a cheap camera at the drop of a hat, or so it seems. Reagan's conservative republican party is gone. The PEOPLE are still out there, but are no longer being represented by the GOP. This is exactly what was going on back then too- the republican party didn't WANT Reagan, didn't want to be conservative, fought him tooth and nail. Only got behind him after the popular support became overwhelming. In today's America, where the tax consumers are now outweighed by the tax payers (and I think that will only get worse), I'm not sure it's possible to "take back" the GOP. A 3rd, truly conservative party, might be the only answer. I'm anti-political parties period (as George Washington was, and for the same reasons), but maybe a 3rd party IS the only way out... I mean, if Ross Perot could get 19% of the vote, why can't the Tea Party field a candidate that could get 34% - which is all it would take.

Ditto for Excedrin... because it has tylenol in it. I had the same problem finding excedrin, but this was a few months ago. So the supply STILL isn't equalling the demand? Really??

sorry if I misread and missed the sarcasm.

I'd rather have all the guns and ammo I want and have them NOT be banned, them have them be banned and not be able to get them. Because once I get them, I'm keeping them. Period. At that point, they can take the AWB or UN Treaty and shove it up their ass, I will no longer care. I'll just sit around and wait for the revolution to start.

If humans have been "outsmarting" deer (and other humans) for centuries, WHY do we need all this gadgetry to "outsmart" a deer? Oh right... because we WANT STUFF and companies want to MAKE MONEY. (nothing against profit) So much of this stuff makes me laugh a little- I MUST HAVE a pistol-grip 12 gauge with the chainsaw handle, with an integral mounted flashlight AND laser... not to mention an adaptor so I can mount my iphone to the rail and use my deer-finding app! Ridiculousness! off topic... is that Barnes stuff like the Hornady SST stuff? Looks like it...
