The other measures approved on Thursday include a ban on certain semiautomatic weapons, and a bill that lets police confiscate guns from people whom the officers consider to be a risk to themselves or others.
Just goes to show ya that waaaayyy back then folks knew how to "get 'er done"
and didn't "overdo" stuff either. If it did the job then we will use it and love it.
I'll have to guess that most folks on this site are above average in the scheme of things as far as society is concerned. Responsible, hard working, try to do the right thing kind of people. Or at least that's what pops into my head when I think "levergunner" 8) To be perfectly honest I wa...
Ji, Now I have a question. Is that Zero behind you a real Mitsubishi Zero,or a replica? Joe Yes the real deal, and it was actually flyable before the museum purchased it. The only thing is it's powered by a Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp engine from a Grumman Wildcat of all things. WOW, I would say ...
Their lawyers have done everything to limit liability and it's easier to send condolences to the former employee's family than it is to fight a lawsuit from a scumbag who might get shot trying to rob a delivery driver. There it is all wrapped up in a nice little basket. Makes ya want to scream :evi...
I would only ask that any and all Officers of the Peace that read this thread please try to not be angry and PLEASE don't feel like people are trying to disrespect you. It is obvious that these are REAL concerns being aired here. I would also ask that others be as polite as possible while raising co...
My biggest problems were always trying to "anticipate" the shot, it's best if your weapon goes off without you expecting the exact moment. Jerking the trigger is bad of course, but so isn't taking tooooo much time to pull it also which will lead to anticipating the shot. Get your sight pic...
I don't agree with everything Bush has done. Furthering the Northamericanunion and signing legislation that would allow another countries troops on our own soil. (I respect our Canadian neighbors but their troops do not belong on our side of the border and ours DO NOT belong on their side either, es...
I guess there just wasn't enough proof in the world that socialism won't work.
No. I think there was plenty of proof through the years. It just seems that
dummies can't be kept from running head first into walls. I just had a word
pop into my mind....
It is always good to hear that Jesus is on the job. :D Myself being only human and sometimes narrow minded at that did not think to consider that this approach would work. I had assumed the average muslim was beyond reach of the love of Christ. Let me rephrase that, incapable of wanting to turn to t...
I think I've mentioned before that there were a lot of Black Men I knew in the Corps that I would gladly spend my last moments with in a fox hole. But the overall question of racial relations goes way beyond that. Most people don't like to hear it but there is a percentage of Black, White, Asian and...
There used to be a draft, the looney left said "that's not fair" so we stopped it. Today there is no draft, the looney left says "that's not fair", get the picture? I guess there has always been a fringe of our populace that will go against the grain no matter what it is. Especia...
I couldn't find it while searching (can't recall the subject) but this one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. I resized it for an avatar then it hit me, I might want to ask if it's ok to use :oops: http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o90/Jeeps69/Avatars/SAINTPETERS-3-22-08-00042.jpg If an...
Mother Jeeps passed back in '91, I was more in "shock" than sorrow. I actually felt worse for those who came to comfort me. I couldn't sum up the meaning of losing a "Mother" at the time. I know she lives in my heart because when I think of her she gives it a good squeeze :wink: ...
I think it might all boil down to the ratio of how many times you were helped by LEO's... I won't claim that I never made a bad situation worse, but I've never, not even once in my entire life even met a friendly cop. Prolly cuz your rough around the edges like me 8) Just teasing :wink: I have the ...
They sure kept that one quiet......... :evil: They sure did keep that one quiet, I live pretty close to where this happened, and never until now heard about all this. When a tornado comes through, why is the law mostly concerned about your guns? Go figure. What the MEDIA does not want you to hear a...
My Henry ROCKS I wouldn't trade it for anything. Most folks prefer blued steel over painted aluminum which definitely makes the others look and feel more authentic in a levergun sort of way. It all comes down to what you like verses how much your willing to shell out. Keep digging and you'll find a ...
That phrase "reasonable restrictions" makes me cringe :x Why? Because they never ARE reasonable... Reasonable is word others use just before they bend you over a bucket :shock: It's too wishy-washy of a word to be used in lawmaking. After what I've seen them do with "no infringement&...
To be honest this is a very hard thing to quantify. It has been filtering down and being distilled since day one on how to take charge of a situation. No easy task when you are human. When you are ready for a "worst case scenario" you are hardly prepared for a civil discussion. If you are ...
Yes but he DID draw comments from the BLACK LEADERS when he made those statements. Because BLACK LEADERS love to have people who can't think right to lead around and tell them what to say and do and prey on their fears of "white America" so they can line their pockets with money. Actually...
You'd be surprised, it is definitely fodder for both sides of the debate. Finger pointers love this stuff. Anyone who can mentally break it down will realize that you are prolly much better off having "your own gun" at times like these. Kinda goes without saying, eh. A lot of these shootin...
They REALLY have to rethink this eminent domain thing. I'm not sure it has
anything to do with this story, but I can see it being the cause of a lot more
KILLDOZERS
I'll second that Jeremy. He should have taken it down and brought it to one of the people he had informed about it being up alone. Does anyone know who's property it was? I'm assuming the college. The dean of students, officer of veteran affairs, should have seen this coming. I could be afflicted wi...
I really wish America would wake up. :evil: If someone doesn't want you to have a firearm it means he doesn't trust you. Why would anyone want a person who doesn't trust them in power? Imagine this. You have just been put in charge of a group of people that frighten you. You don't trust them and are...
Governor Schweitzer responded, "I sent them a horse and if they want to call it a zebra, that’s up to them. They can call it whatever they want, and it wasn’t a love letter."
What 1st Amendment haters fail to consider is that once they shut their opponents up or deny them the ability to make politcal protests, they have silenced themselves as well. :? This thread is proof positive that there are no 1st amendment haters here. Nowhere did I mention anything even close to ...
This is going nowhere let's drop it. Obviously I see it as baiting for a reaction. Pisspoor. The nanny state we created no longer believes in sowing and reaping. NO NO NO, sorry FW I wasn't talking about YOU baiting here. It was about her actively baiting for a reaction. Trust me, I agree with all ...
I realize this reply is taking things to the extreme so just take it for the rambling brain flash that it was. Hoods are outlawed ... everyone will dress in the exact same attire ... since hair can cover the face, it will be outlawed, shaved heads only ... large bodied individuals could hide a weap...
How do you know what I consider FW? Sorry sunshine your not that smart. I know you think you are but...... I personal think it's a shame that people want freedom, then they dump all over the symbol of the institution that provides that freedom. I don't consider destruction or peeing on others feeli...
