Wow, I expected a blood curdling polemic spiel.
I am very happy to see an amazing, well written and reasoned response!

Re: Cabella's Charging Medical Excise Tax on Purchases
My initial bet is that they probably screwed up on the item category in their register system, mislabeling what tax it should be under.

Re: Was a Hiatus, Now a Farewell
It's too bad, most of the folks here are good people, even if I disagree with 'em politically on everything save 2A.

Re: Taking a Hiatus from Here.
I stayed away from here for two years because of what you describe. I actually came back here (and other forums) because of recent events; I want to be on the ground floor to try and help retain my second amendment rights, even if I have really strong problems with some of the rhetoric of others. I ...

Re: Cinemark "no guns allowed"
Heck, even when they get the wording right, they still can't read the law (e.g AMC with their teeny tiny 30.06 stickers on the doors)carlson1 wrote:Everyone is correct. We don't want them to learn of the right wording.

Re: 147 grain - a better 9mm cartridge?
If anyone ever doubts the power of self defense 9mm rounds (I personaly use 124gr +P or +P+) I ask them if they want to go downrange and hold my targets while I practice. :lol: In physics, you learn that kinetic energy = mass times velocity squared (when we're going signigicantly slower than c) so p...

Re: I believe it.
I'd suggest actually reading the document. If you read the document, you'd clearly see it's being misrepresented by Alex Jones.

Hey, it's like they say: A liberal is a conservative who's been arrested, and a conservative is a liberal who'se been mugged. It never fails.

Re: Dallas Museum of Art (any updated info?)
I was just there a few weeks ago. It is posted, but the sign does not meet legal requirements (the letters are too small.)
There are volunteers near the doors that will occasionally search handbags and things, but I was not searched or patted down.

Re: Active Killer Events Quadrupled After Gun Free School Zo
Great quote from a novel by Eric F. Russel, about how overreactions can be dangerous. Of itself, a wasp can be little more than an annoyance to a (non-allergic) human being. The average person outweighs a wasp by a factor of 1.4 million. However, occasionally, a wasp will fly in through the window o...

Re: COPS in Schools
Honestly? Because this will cost money. It's much easier for non-gunners to hem and haw about banning things they know nothing about, than it is to suggest something that will have a demonstrated effect, but cost money. Personally, I think spending or pushing this kind of manpower and cost for somet...

Re: Gun confiscation
A thing to remember about other countries that have done confiscations. * The UK and AU had centralized regestration of weapons. They had a nice shopping list. * Both the above countries had private firearm ownership in the hundreds of thousands. the UK has 62 million people, give or take, and Austr...
