Gun Control or Homeland Security: You Can't Have Both

Even here in California you can take your handgun out of your house without a permit. Most folks need to take a drive to go shooting. I'm not sure what the so called "gun laws" are in your location, but that answer seems misleading, or at least incomplete.

That guy STILL didn't finish your book?
Or is this his third time through it?

[Travis McGee]

I'm beginning to think he's an exhibit in Madame Toussaud's. Note the waxy pallor.

[TigersEye]

He read up to the part where Ranya puts on a red bikini and he hasn't turned a page since.

[TigersEye]

Finished EFAD last night. Excellent read.

[TigersEye]

An aquaintence who claims he is a lifetime member of the NRA ... claims that overall he supports the renewel and that the majority of Americans will also, that is why bush will sign it.

Perhaps you could print out theText of new Assault Weapons Ban introduced in Senate for him to read.
He should keep in mind that they intend to add significantly to this.

[TigersEye]

Gun grabbers are increasingly trying to separate the right to keep and bear arms from its constitutional underpinnings.

I've got their 'constitutional underpinnings' hanging.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. - Declaration of Independence

He needs to read "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" by our good friend Travis Mcgee. He will change his mind in a heartbeat.

I've been to gun shows all over this country, and the SF Cow Palace crowd takes no back seat for un-'docile'..

[Travis McGee]

Thanks, I poured a big chunk of three years of my life into it.

[TigersEye]

Thank you! EFAD is a terrific tale and very timely. I stayed up much too late for three nights in a row to read it so I think it's fair to call EFAD a page turner.

It is too bad that this thread didn't get more attention for its own sake but I was also looking to find more openings for remarking on your work. I will be extolling its virtues when the opportunity arises. I enjoyed the look into the sailing life. Having spent most of my life in landlocked CO that's an unknown world to me. Or rather, it was. Fun stuff all around.

[Travis McGee]

You know, you just can't please everybody. One of the most common knocks I hear against EFAD is too much boring sailboat stuff. Oh well. I'm glad you liked it! (And no F-words, or XXX sex. It really is different from most novels today!)

Cow Palace Gun Show bump. We'll be there today, and plan to haul home some ammo.

[tpaine]

I'll probably run up about noon, - although its getting real hard to find any decent collectables at that show..
The ninja crowd has taken over..

Not sure what time we'll be there - hubby is trying for an appointment for a haircut first, and I've got to gather up my brass to turn in for credit with the Load X lady.
