If thats too much power, looks like a 12 g. Maybe he shoulda started with a .410???
Alternate title “People from a culture dedicated to submission are submissive to government authority”.
Damn near 3/4 of Americans of asian descent voted for our dear leader the Kenyan Commie in the last election. A disturbing number given the high grades, work/study ethic, and family closeness. Such a belief in the tender mercies of the state combined with shared feelings of racial distrust in the majority (cant believe they dont see that they share far more values with that very majority).
Thinking: Passing Legislation, banning “Whatever”, Doesn’t keep Criminals from obtaining… This is the Perfect, Reason, to Stand behind our Second Amendmant Rights!
The Police, do the Best they can!… [The Average 911 Call, takes 23 minutes, for a response!.. ]. Staying, under the belief, “I’d Rather have my .45 caliber hagun, in my hand, Than, a “Cop”, on the Phone!…
i said before, we had some gentlemen from Taiwan visiting at work, and one guy was too scared to TOUCH a Cabelas catalog, because it had firearms on the cover. The other gentlemen were like kids in a candy store, however.
They could not understand why we didn’t have a ‘wild west’ situation, and why everyone did not wear helmets 24/7. When i told them how many rifles i own, they thought it was some kind of joke, and completely preposterous that i could own firearms similar to the military.
Then all of those companys should refuse to do business with NY. What arrogance.
Smith and Wesson, is and has stated they are taking advantage of their stock sell off’s by buying it back. They have been making capital hand over fist and have bought a greater share of their own corporation back so they have less share holders to cater to. which now they have more say in what direction the company is moving. Maybe off the east coast and into a more gun friendly climate???
We need to boycott Walmart stores until they service all customer needs. This is discrimination that must stop.
I must have an irrational fear that my home will burn to the ground, because I’ve been paying home insurance for the last 30 years and the sucker is still standing. I must also have an irrational fear that I’m going to crash my car, and I must be a dope because I’ve spent a ton on car insurance over the years. I’m not even going to get into my irrational fear about health insurance.

How many of those companies’ products were involved in school shootings?
How many police departments use those companies’ products?
13.5 million – I’m sure Walls Street will be impressed.
Liberals’ divestment in firearms companies will have less impact on the stock than the federal AWB will have on crime- and it is hard to be that insignificant.
I’m getting a little pissed off at politicians who sign things w/o reading the not so fine print. They did the thing with Obamacare and the NY Safe Act.
If you’re too busy or too lazy to read through a bill, perhaps it’s time to find another job.
It’s “FEWER guns”; not “less guns”. Sanjay has LESS HAIR than he used to have, which is true for many of us. It’s true he also has “FEWER HAIRS”, but nobody could be expected to give a count of them.
And that’s the difference. Me? I’m thinking I need MORE guns.
“… Nine… One… One… …”
Well that’ll be looping in my head all day, thanks very much. 😉
The had a problem with my living in Maryland (I must admit i do too), and made the ‘feel good’ political decision. But also, things can be forgiven, but not forgotten).
– I can understand them making a choice if they have a honest ‘good and substantial’ explanation, perhaps a cousin of his wife lost a child in the shooting.
– they started selling again, again reason(s) unknown.
Demonstrates a lack of 2A support. Strike 1
– It seems from the above, they canceled valid orders, then raised the price, and were willing to ship ‘from stock’ at the new price.
Poor Ethics. Strike 2
– Made a very large donation to people that really need it right now.
Questionable Motive Checked Swing
– Raising Prices, Supply&Demand – It is nice to know that I can get it somewhere if I must have it. Checked Swing
– Raising Prices from ‘reasonable’ to ‘Mad Max’ in 1 step. If you raise prices so steeply that people are talking about you, and not the lack of supply from the Factory, you are not passing on costs, you are scalping. Customer Abuse Outfielder just missed it.
– Not listing prices in print, pain in the ass, but print does have a lead time, and they have a web site. They get a pass on this one.
– Not coming out with a public explanation, Bad Form Outfielder just missed catching it because the mascot got in the way, a Cute kid caught it – made the kids day – and the school bully stopped picking on him. Foul Ball
Ball has been thrown, and they have decided the Bunt this.
(a donation of less than 50.000$ next year to SAF – will be Strike 3
Beer. Cigars. Cleaning my guns, but not that often. They’re already clean, which is the point.
I shoot a box here and a box there and then go and chew the fat at my range’s bar.
Where is all that ammo going anyway? Is the govt just buying it all up in a sort of de facto effort to disarm the citizenry?
The more they try and over reach only helps our cause. The reality is that this will help kill the bill, unless of course they amend it, but then again let them bring it to the floor as is. Many will vote against it, as they understand one thing, getting elected back into office will depend on it. Why would they attach their name to a bill which clearly violates the 4th amendment. That would kill their political careers. Just sayin…
here is what is on my wish list: more funding to improve schools in inner cities and reduce crime. Crime causes violence – either with a gun, knife, club, or fists. There is a direct and obvious correlation between youth unemployment and crime (and therefore homicide).
A lot of these so-called studies come from the Violence Policy Center whose goal is to ban guns and fund studies that purportedly show that crime does not cause homicides. Really? then why is the statewide correlation of homicide with robbery, burglary, and other crime statistics, so high? duh.
Clearly the person on whom the background check is to be run would have to log on to the system first, and authenticate their identity. They could then receive some sort of authentication code, valid for one query within a limited timeframe. The person running the background check would use this code together with the subject’s name to retrieve the results of the background check, preferably a simple “yea” or “nay” for privacy reasons.
I think if they set up a system like this, accessible for free, perhaps through a smartphone app, a lot of people would use it even on a voluntary basis. However, I doubt any effort is going to be made towards a system like this, because it would actually be about background checks and not about placing obstacles in the path of legitimate gun buyers.
Its shows DiFI’s AWB is DOA has no votes from us we want our rights the antis in this piece doesn’t like it it doesnt ban all of them. Shows hoe dumb AWBs are.
Thanks RF.
So… Why are you shocked?
Maybe some of these dem idiots should look into the capacity of the mags that Eric Harris used at Columbine. Capacity doesn’t matter much when you’re effectively a sicko shooting fish in a barrel. Don’t worry Hick, we’re aiming to ruin your political career in 2014.
The only reason I can imagine why a person would want to engage with anti-gun people online is to be sure they learn they are not unopposed and they can’t have what they want simply by demanding it.
