And that was when we lived in Long Island, NY.

Bobby Rush is the creep who, during a discussion with the ovesight agency Congress had created to monitor Fanny Mae, said that the report amounted to “the lynching of Franklin Raines.” Before he was forced out at Fanny Mae he had taken 90 million dollars for himself.
I have placed two calls to Rush’s office asking for comment on his moronic and racist statement. I can’t understand why, but his PR guy didn’t get back to me yet. Perhaps he lost my email address. I didn’t lose his though.
This is just the tip of the iceberg...
I just made a mistake in my post. It wasn’t Bobby Rush who was defending Franklin Raines. It was a Congressman named Clay. Sorry about that. I sure hope my age doesn’t have anything to do with that error.
The real question is how far are Americans will to go to protect their rights. We should be protesting in the streets if this bill passes. I dont hink we can wait any longer if this bill passes it wont be long before they start the confiscations.

All I get back is error messages. Does anybody outside of Thomas actually have the text of the bill?
Scary ping!!!
This last election cycle, as well as that of '06 has proved to me that the government will be able to do whatever it pleases without any problems whatsoever.
I'm afraid that beyond ranting and raving on various forums, you'll hardly hear a peep.
History Lesson
Bobby Rush, deputy defense minister of the Illinois Black Panther party,
reads a statement June 4, 1969, during a news conference following an early
morning raid on the Chicago Panther headquarters by FBI agents.
Gun Registration: Illinois, City of Chicago, home state and city of Obama, Ayers, Dohrn, and Rush, has one of the most drastic gun registration laws in the country. Wanna bet they will try to impose it upon the whole nation?
Here's an idea, Bobby: go to your own district and work on that. Stop the black on black crime there. Save the innocents who are being murdered in your hometown. Quit trying to tell other Americans how to live; you've got a handful to deal with right where you set up camp.
If you Congresscritters would just focus on getting your own constitutents to be responsible for their lives, they would prosper and so would the nation as a whole.
I mentioned to my neighbor last week sometime soon the tipping point will be reached. Be ready.
Someone used to keep score for nuclear doomsday with a "doomsday clock". Maybe we should start a countdown to 21st century Independence Day Clock...for me it is about a quarter to midnight. Vince
Well, don’t worry, we got the whole internet looking for this stuff.
BTW, hat tip to the guy at another forum that discovered this.
My two old links don’t work anymore:
search holt, then look for h.r. 45
Its on Thomas though, so it may not be what you’re looking for.
And that was when we lived in Long Island, NY.
I grew up on Long Island and used to do the exact same thing, except it was in the late 70's at Garden City Junior High. Our range was in the basement too.
Guess I’m gonna be an outlaw. I will NEVER submit to this.
Reminds me of a story I read this morning:
Exodus: Californians flee for a better life
State lost a net total of 144,000 residents in fiscal year that ended July 1, 2008. It was fourth straight year of losses.

I think shooting in a basement is a federal crime now. Not sure if I need a /sarc tag or not.
