As for metals, I have some gold, but I believe more in copper, brass and lead

LOL!

Now that you mention it, yes, you are correct.

No Republican can win if he goes against the NRA that close to an election.

It will be a voice vote on a bill voted on after midnight on a Friday as a rider attached to a bill increasing military pay or some other conservative "must pass" legislation. No individual vote will be on the record. You won't know who voted for and who voted against.

Are the anti-freedom gun grabboids really stupid enough to push our nation into this future?

Yes. All it takes is one more Columbine or Port Arthur, and more anti-gun legislation will be pushed through.

The gun grabboids will risk anything for power. They think they will win because they have the media.

I have a goal to teach a kid gun safety and to shoot each year. I got a friend of my son's last year (with his father's permission, of course). I challenge everyone here to do the same.

Why, all we would do is Take Our Country Back!

And restore the Constitution to its rightful place!

And replace the income tax with a National Retail Sales Tax!

And abolish the IRS!

And repeal the 16th Amendment!

But wait, There is More!

They indeed think that we will go quietly into the night.

Then they are fatally stupid.

A super-Columbine might occur on its own, or it might occur with a little help. That's the basis of my novel.

I'm all over that "friendly media" aspect in my book. Malone depends on it; it's the basis of his "probable culpability" paradigm for killing public enemies with media approval.

If Repubs don't get rid of it, then get a new repub! Thats why we have a primary. Voting for looser party's only dilutes the rebublican base. I understand the frustration, but the conservatives must retain control of the party. The Dems are having the same problem. The left is growing more impatient every election that we don't have a Marxist government yet, so they vote Green, Nat. Law, etc. As long as they splinter and we don't..........we win.

The only unsolvable problem I see is the Repubs in the NE states. They are just Dems that can't get used to calling each other comrade yet. Bloomberg, Juliani, Chase, Maine, RI, etc., all think they are Repubs because they are against raising all taxes all the time. There is alot more to it than that today.

Someone on TheFiringLine.com made them up a couple of years ago. Ask around over at TheHighRoad.org, as a lot of TheFiringLine regulars migrated over there when Rich ended TFL.

I'm in Law School, and have brought 5 fellow students to the range...
that's 5 future lawyers/judges/FBI agents/representatives/lobbyists getting a fair and informative introduction to self-defense and gun use and ownership...

7 more have approached me, asking for an introduction.
All 7 are liberal females.

Education is the key.

We will surely know which Rrepublican President signs or vetoes it. If bush signs it he will lose the election and he knows it.

I wonder how many people are in prison or have had their property confiscated as a result of this un-Constitutional "law"?

If that happened to me, I would be looking for some 'payback'.

Excellent idea. In my case, it was my goal to teach a female gun safety and to shoot. Had success last February. I am overdue for another participant!
