    How long before we're dealing with the next 'shortage' and are you ready?

    Gear, parts, rifles, pistols, supply and everything besides ammo is pretty much back to normal.
    Yet with the most recent shooting yesterday it is ominously clear to me that without a doubt we're really a hairs' breath away from an event like Newtown, where our entire market will be thrown on it's ass.

    While that entire focus on the right-to-bear/A2 issue has actually backfired,
    The net result was more active shooters and proponents than ever - never seen this many people on the local county range, last year 2 new private ranges and 4 new gunstores alone in our county.

    But really fearing that on the next one that goes ape-shit they may be able to use their 'outrage' to shove something serious down our throat - seing that the current administration REALLY is not that concerned about re-election... You feelin me?
    Remember? Basic garden-variety AR's going for 2K or more, Pmags for $60, everything sold out in one ot two days....

    So if this happens again - are you ready? Are you stocked up, can you sit back and watch this idiocy go down yet again with a bit of a smile on your face?
    I know I was and still am - save for the ammo, still, but I wonder - how many of us learned and, what WAS the lesson, and will we be able to do it once more. I really fear for what's coming, sensing a great complacency.
    Or am I over-thinking?

    Let's also remind our members to set aside some cash to join/donate to the NRA, GOA, and their state pro gun associations if they haven't done so already. All the rifles, magazines, and ammo won't mean a thing if they are banned, limited, and confiscated. It's embarrassing to see so many gun owners/members who aren't members of pro gun organizations.

    Maybe I'm an optimist but I think if they didn't pass anything with all the Newtown craziness we might be OK for the near future as far as Federal threats.

    What I'm most worried about is mass hysteria based on speculation that has caused most of the shortages and high prices of the last few years.

    .....BTW I'm a member of both the NRA and GOA. We DO need a better spokesperson for the NRA. LaPierre is a mess

    Not sure what the next one is, but better have the 2016 election on your list.

    If it's something like Christie vs. Clinton it will be worse than anything we've ever seen. If they do something asinine like run Romney again it will be another guaranteed Democratic victory.

    We need to start influencing the culture and changing people back to where politicians like the O-hole will no longer be tolerated. Kick liberalism out of schools, etc. We cannot keep playing nice guy. The problem with Romney and his supporters is that he didn't care if he lost, he never even tried to fight, and those who pushed him on us did not lose their jobs. Why are we not questioning why that is and there be no punishment for those responsible?

    I'm sick of having this kind of crap push my budget around, sick of being besieged like the Cuban missile crisis and the Battle of Britain. WTF? I want to plan my future in peace, buy what I want when I can afford it, not have to choose between being responsible for all aspects of life and stocking up for the next 40 years with 1 year's budget. Seriously, isn't this kind of threat the kind of thing we're supposed to have a military for, to repel threat of hostile takeover and threat to our liberty and American way of life? Why don't they stop bombing goat herders and kick the CA, NY, DC, and Chicago Communists and their bureaucrats out of my homeland?

    First problem is we already lost playing that game. Freedom and liberty minded people aren't about forcing their values on others. They aren't about making sure the entire collective thinks exactly like them. So we aren't willing to play the game to the same extent as those who don't value freedom and liberty and absolutely want to force everyone to share and support their vision of the world.

    Take two issues such as guns and homosexuals.

    Typically gun owners do NOT wish to make everyone else a gun owner. They simply want their rights respected. We don't demand that everyone else help us champion our cause, we simply want the attacks on our freedoms to stop. And if you do attempt to teach these values to the next generation you are generally treated like a criminal selling poison to children.

    Those with various homosexual agendas (and honestly I could care less what consenting adults do) are the exact opposite. They demand EVERYONE support them and embrace their cause. The demand that the media inundate everyone with their message via every form of media they possibly can. They seek "special rights and privileges" beyond those of ordinary Americans. And if you suggest they deserve the same freedoms as everyone else and nothing more, or worse...suggest that they simply live their lives without making everyone else aware of the fact that they are homosexual then you basically became a freedom hating racist.

    Ironically homosexuals are one of the few demographics who can own firearms without being seen as evil people and potential child killers. This is because "they" have a "special need" to be able to defend themselves.

    This is the state of the nation because the idiots grossly outnumber those who take time to actually understand the issues at hand. This is also why we have a nation who voted for the novelty of "having helped elect the first black President" regardless of his qualifications (or complete lack of qualifications) or his various anti American agendas.

    Our objections to Obama are hardly due to half of his genetic makeup. If the GOP nominated a true fiscal conservative it wouldn't matter to most of us if they were black, hispanic, native american or a woman...most of us would love the opportunity to actually vote "for" somebody rather than try and vote a "block." Unfortunately we are the actual minority of the country and everyone else is more interested in a cultivated persona that is inline with current popular media, an agenda that defends some group who claims to be oppressed (real or manufactured) and their personal stance on important issues like "boxers or briefs."

    We've been on a detrimental slide since Bush '88 and ironically enough Clinton probably did the least amount of damage (at least most of his gun horseshit expired) and his worst legacy was NAFTA. I see no reason for the downward trend to not continue, I don't have faith in any generation being able to pull off (or even develop the inclination to even try) a political / cultural shift towards anything more productive to the country or of true benefit to the people of this country.

    If the country went insane for a day and actually elected me to office I don't think I'd pass a single law in my first (and probably only) term of office. I'd spend every working minute trying to undo the damage of the last three decades and do my best to give this country BACK to the people. I'd do my best to level the playing field and try true equality for a change. Best qualified applicants get the jobs. That means those who work harder than everyone else or have the best talent get the rewards.

    Maybe we could actually start making things again.

    And while I wouldn't ban reality TV, because I'm too freedom minded, I would confine that crap to a single channel that the rest of us can simply block and never be bothered by it again.

    Yep. The zombies will be standing in line for days to vote for these two goons. Better yet they should run on the same ticket since they are both worthless.

    All of the Sunday morning Liberal media called the election for Hillary today... oh,,, btw... it's not Clinton.... she will be known as Hillary and she's it.... heard it today.. All were in agreement. It's a done deal. In fact... I'm not sure there is actually going to be an election in 2016. I think it's just going to be something like a two week long Celebration of Hillary sometime in Nov. Then in Jan she will dismiss Obama and declare herself Supreme Leader.

    Fortunately for me I'm way too honest and actually tell people what I'm thinking and why so I will never have to worry about being President.
