Posted on 12/25/2013 6:18:22 AM PST by rktman

Until Virginia Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe (D) was elected on November 5, Beretta USA had the Old Dominion on a short list of states in which it could build a new factory.

Looks like tmac may have shot himself and VA's economy in the foot. But the d.c. suburb areas will be okay due to all the govt. workers living in some of the most expensive counties and towns in the country. Outlying areas of the beautiful state of VA. Not so much. Glad to see the Beretta found some of the comments by tmac during the campaign "offensive".

An example of Tmac’s business savvy that will grow Virginia’s economy.

Blue states should be singing the blues.

Any industry or corporation that would locate a new facility in a Blue state should fire their board of directors. The Democrats are killers of commerce.

Reagan put the Democratic philosophy best when he said: “The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”.

The Democrats firmly believe it isn’t worth doing unless the government is paying you to do it. This is not a good way to run a state and business is better off finding somewhere else to do business.

It would be nice if they were just doing it to themselves and you could justly say "screw them," but McAuliffe was elected by a geographically small group in the upper northeast corner of the state, who are mostly people unaffected by the rise and fall of job numbers. The rest of the state suffers because these government-dependent and libs are Obama supporters. Same concept as in the rest of the country.

Illinois is the same way - geographically as well. Upper Northeast part of the state is our problem too. Jobs leaving the state in a similar manner as well.

Cops in New York Using Gun Classifieds Site ARMSLIST To Trap Gun Owners? Maybe.
December 24 2013

This interesting post on ARMSLIST was brought to our attention by a reader.

Here is the text from the ad, posted from an anonymous account (spelling errors part of original post),

BEWARE THERES A SCUMBAG ON HERE SELLING MULTIPLE CALS IN ROCHESTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS!! THIS SCUMBAG AGREED TO MEET THEN I WAS SURROUNDED BY POLICE. THEY SIMPLY INTERIGATED ME AND CHECKED MY PERSONALS. THEY ARE ROUNDING UP GUN OWNERS TO SEE WHAT YOUR BUYING AND WHAT YOU MAY BE FEEDING,ALONG WITH RECORDING YOUR VEHICLE INFORMATION WHICH LEADS TO RESIIDENCE… THIS GUY HAS MANY POSTINGS OF FIREARMS AND RANTING POSTS I ASSUME TO BLEND IN WITH THE CROWD. THESE COMMUNISTS PIGS ARE GETTING SMARTER EVERYDAY! DONT BUY AMMO ON ARMS LIST UNLESS ITS FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER. IF YOU PICS OF AMMO CANS OR BOXES OF AMMO TAKEN OFF THE INTERNET…STAY AWAY. MY ENTIRE NIGHT WAS WASTED AND NOW THEY HAVE MY PERSONAL INFO ..I REPEAT DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CLOWNS THERE RECORDING EVERYONE TO STRIP YOU IN THE FUTURE AND ARREST NON COMPLIANT AND REGISTERED ARMS AS FOR THE GUY POSTING THESE ROT IN HELL.

Hmmm, definitely interesting to say the least.

On some level it seems to make sense if you want to catch gun owners with unlicensed guns in a state with registration.

Remember, New York has a gun registry. Attempting to buy 9mm ammo but the only gun you have registered is a .45. Could that be enough for cops to search your home? In pretty much every other state I’d say absolutely not, but remember this is New York we’re talking about.

It was widely reported a couple of weeks ago that New York City residents had started receiving surrender/confiscation notices about long guns that might be illegal under city law, so perhaps there is a state wide crack down on guns.

Of course, we have no way to verify whether this post is true or if it’s just some classic interwebz trolling.

I know and agree.

I also know there was a liberal Texas billionaire that bundled enough money to get a third party clown on the ballot. This was just enough dirty liberal tactics to pull the election to the demos.

The libs are going to play dirty. It’s past time to counter.

Yep. We all suffer.

"This (3rd party candidate) was just enough dirty liberal tactics to pull the election to the demos."

The liberals are far street wiser than the kamikaze Conservatives who might perform the same stunt because nominated Republicans just aren't conservative enough or pure enough or have a different faith or whatever. They harbor some kind of political death wish just to prove to each other how noble they are.

We have met the enemy.............

Yes, far better to elect RINOs like McCain, Graham, Murkowski, Ryan, et al. /s

That you prefer Democrats to RINO's is quite revealing. That kind of thinking allowed Reid to use the nuclear option and just wait until Holder is nominated for the SC.
