Thanks for the tip, I’ll check them out. My wife wants a pistol also so she may get a heavy Christmas present this year.

I don’t have the votes in Congress’'.

He's real close to getting those votes.

True. Even if he gets the votes, He's still gotta collect the guns, and that, my friend,< /McCain> ain't gonna be easy.

I bought another one today.

A sweet little .38 Special revolver with 4” barrel. It's the perfect gun for teaching my wife how to shoot. (I told her I was buying it for her. She said she would let me use it, too.:) )

We have long guns fairly well covered, it's just that none of them are “black rifles”.

I'm concentrating on filling out our pistol collection because that's what I can afford right now and I do believe that Obama will be coming after hand guns after he bans evil scary looking rifles.

I wonder how many of these new gun buyers forget to buy the most important accessory.

Plenty of ammo!!

Gun shows all over the country this weekend, go buy a couple cases. No ID, no papers.

I recently bought the last “black” rifle on my wish list so I’m pretty well covered on “assault” weapons.

There are still some more handguns and a couple lever action rifles (which COULD end up on Obeyme’s banned list too due to ammo capacity) which I would like to get while they can still be had.

Does your new .38 use .38+P and/or .357 mag also?

I’ve been re-loading handgun ammo like a mad-man for the last month.

I just put a cheap slip-on recoil pad on my M91/30. Works pretty good. I can run 40 to 60 rounds through it in one afternoon without any problems.

On Nov. 4, 2008 we witnessed a Communist takeover of the U.S. government.

I don't know about that. Sometimes a persons imagination can be his/her own worst enemy, but I do believe people can "sense" when something big is coming or when something doesn't seem right.
In this case, they feel the need to be armed in order to protect themselves from whatever it is they sense. Sometimes, they do know what it is they fear, but the fear is real nevertheless. They "know" something isn't right.

People are also running for comfort food. They want to go back in time when they felt secure. They don't want to face what's coming - whatever it is.

Not sure about the .357 mag. He did tell me it was fine for .38+P. I'll have to confirm that when I pick it up on Monday.

Well, let’s look at the record. The largest gun roundup in US history took place after the Katrina Incident. How many law enforcement agents refused to participate?

There’s your answer.

You make a sad, but unfortunately accurate, point.

Agreed.

I've got another SKS inbound, and am going to the gun shop to buy an HK P7 in a few minutes:

It'll be *sweet*.

Right, I had a few guns, but I sold them all and have now bought just one .357 Rossi and a 20 gauge Maverick shotgun. Both are nicely registered now, so the LEOs will have no trouble coming to collect them.
