  1. That's pisising away a lot of money. How much does that add up to in a day, month, year? That would be a payment for a sweet motorcycle.
  2. I haven't consumed caffiene, on purpose, in over 10 years.
  3. The "If it saves just one life" arguement is a dishonest attempt to tug at heart strings after a disaster. It's an emotional arguement that frankly contradicts the constitution. It's dishonest because it's attempting to use a national tragedy to gain a political advantage. If the true intent is to "save just one life" they should be just as driven to outlaw swimming pools, motorcycles, and fire.
  4. The Volunteer School Marshall concept was discussed in some earlier threads (I believe those were limited to school employees, not including neighbors). I think it would be the most effective action to deter and minimize any future disasters like Sandy Hook. It's a very American approach to solving a problem in a 'We The People' kind of way. Volunteer Marshalls would not need to be considered law enforcement. If police cannot respond for 10 minutes...their ENTIRE mission would be as a first responder to provide armed resistance to keep a potential criminal at bey for 10 minutes. I still do not like the idea of teachers carrying in the classroom. I prefer a small group of anonymous (like Air Marshalls) volunteers with access to a weapons safe in a secret location. This would also be the most cost effective solution to our cash strapped education system. Several groups have already offered to provide free weapons training to school employees. You would still need a couple of strategically selected weapons, perhaps a helmet and vest, and a gun safe. I'll bet gun owners and concerned citizens across the country would be willing to donate to puchase this type of equipment for their local schools. Shit...I would donate a gun safe to my kid's school. Of all the ideas I've heard, this would give the best results, IMO. Just the notion that a School Marshall was present would be a deterrent.
  5. I use a professional accountant. He charges what a professional accountant would charge. Bigger refunds + sound tax advice = money well spent.
  6. ...OBAMA. Just like everyone else with no paycheck.
  7. I got a SR22 a couple months ago. Great shooter, feeds anything. I saw a stainless 22/45 in a shop yesterday for a good price.
  8. Assuming a NK rocket had the capabilites to reach the US, what would be the point? It could never get past our missle defense system. The US military response would be harsh. I would not be surprised if Kim-Jong-whoever meets a sudden demise after making such a ludicrous statement.
  9. ^^ It's a multi billion $ industry with a price fixed labor market set right at $0. You get credit that you can only spend at the company store. Free market or antitrust?
  10. South Park explains everything http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s15e05-crack-baby-athletic-association
  11. Early Americans were rough, tough risk takers. They had to be to leave their established country and try to carve out a life in an untamed land all in search of Freedom from over-controlling federal governments (you know like one we have today.) That was the famed American Spirit that made us a super power and the world leader for damn near anything that mattered. Today, we are a bunch of seat-belt-wearing-sissies & the American Spirit is a commercial for Chevy trucks.
  12. The owner at Stonewall is also an asshole. I don't support their business. Unrelated to being assholes, their prices are the highest in town. Stonewall was the closest range until I moved. I would drive further to go to B&T.
  13. If anything...gun restrictions could potentially lead to civil unrest. But most Americans are too complacent and too detached from our own history to understand the consequenses of letting the very freedoms slip away that early Americans were willing to die for. Everyone should believe this: "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." ― Abraham Lincoln
  14. The guys at Stonewall have consistently been assholes the handful of time I have been there. So, I refuse to support their business. B&T in Lorain is a good indoor range. AA in Parkman is a good outdoor range.
  15. The ignorance is strong in this one. The 1st Amendment doesn't only apply to the Gutenberg printing press. And by the way, multishot firearms have been around since the 1500's. The Continental Congress had a design for a 20 shot 'automatic' gun in 1777, the Bill of Rights was proposed 1789.
  16. Is it programmable with different time zones? If so, you you need to program all the time zones to 70 degrees or it will revert back to the programmed temp.
