Lord knows, I have more guns than I'll ever use. When the Repub crooks are in, I buy guitars; when the Dem Filth come to power, it's back to guns & ammo; been that way as the pendulum swings my entire life.

I figure probably many more Americans also think just like I do and are doing much the same. Big "O" got me into reloading, which is a good thing. I spent over 7-8 thou on supplies & equipment last year; seriously; but I have the peace of mind in knowing my grandkids will be shooting caribou & moose those 215's long after I'm dead & gone off this earth. Now if I only had all the time it takes to reload ammo.

I guess I should maybe thank that fool in D.C.; now I'm buying Nightforce & Acogs over Leupolds and hunting with them too. Killed caribou long range with 6.8 SPC & Acog with ghost ring/BDC markers; dang I feel confident nowadays. I'd probably never even thought about illumination had it not been for Obama getting in; now I wouldn't go moose hunting without red reticles. Bought my first preban back in late 80's, have several 223's, but now into all the new AR platform calibers, luv hunting off snowmachine & atv with the shortie carbines and I have to thank Big "O" himself; hadn't been for him, never would have been spending money on such things.

At least I can find solace in the fact that there are alot more Americans just like me out there too.

You should take the tactic my husband did.

For Christmas I received a Remington 870 Express shotgun and a brand new Berretta. Guess where these new guns of mine are stored? In my husband's gun safe!!!

I picked up a very nice mini 14 several years ago and this rifle introduced me to the .223.

Much easier on the nerves than the big bangers.

“The rumor of an anti-gun speech has been around for a while, perhaps it is coming, but I don’t see much chance of getting a new gun law through this Congress.”

Yep. But curiously, this “rumor” has appeared in only neo-Marxist venues like MSNBC, Newsweek/DailyBeast and Time.

Personally, I think it’s all just wishful thinking by the gun controllers and their Marxist media friends who must think they can gain some traction on this issue by pushing it in the Marxist media.

Gun control is a major loser for the DimRats and no new gun control is going to pass the House anyway, so all they’ll do is expose themselves as the gun controllers they really are, and yet not manage to pass any actual legislation.

Cabela’s has them, and not some aftermarket version either. Springfield OEM magazines.

3) Shouldn’t women be allowed to exercise their reproductive rights with a good 18 round clip in their gun from the Christian Taliban influenced by hate speech from Sara Palin???

Would that be called the ultimate form of late term abortion???? lol

In a recent survey of prisons, 85% of inmates were liberals.
Should we have gun control for liberals?

Too funny! LOL! Actually, I did something similar for/to my wife. When we were dating, knowing that I was a hunter, she casually stated sorta off-hand, when finding out that I was going on a deer hunt, that she might like to go deer hunting sometime. So, I’m thinking, this is the gal for me and popped the question to which she said yes. Well, shortly after our getting married I decided to be a nice guy and buy her a nice deer gun - a Remington BLR .243 with a Leupold Gold Ring scope. Other than the one time I took it along on a hunt it has been taking up space in MY gun safe for oh, about 25 years. But, not all is lost, I have a nine year old grandson which I think this would make a nice starter gun for him. Do you think I was tricked? LOL! Btw, we are still very happily married.

Dunno. Don’t we already have some RINOs (like that @$$ Pete King) proposing some more Federal gun control laws? Obama might be expecting help from the ‘Pubbie side of the aisle...
