Yeah, they should scrap the headstart, child development and aid for old people. Instead everyone should get a pint of Ben and Jerry's and a new assault rifle.

That just seems like more **** dumb folks.Golfgirlrobin said:
Mape, if you really knew what an assault rifle is, (not the media defination of one or left wingers) you'd know they require a Class 3 FFL. Don't think the FBI and BATF has time to check us all out. Use proper terms and show us you really kinow what you are talking about.

Well I already have insulation in my house.......I paid for it myself.

Tell Oboma the one I want is a Ruger #1, and Made in the USA of course.
Don't know why folks like you think gun owners are evil, guess you hang around the wrong kind of folks and make bigoted opinions. :suspious: Aoutomobiles are used in more crimes than guns, but nobody seems to give a **** about that.Well they are willing to bail the automakers out...You see the real agenda is even lowlifes use cars...but only ******* unsophisticated uneducated hillbillies use guns (legally)....the lowlifes of course will steal your gun to use it in dangerous ways.delmonico said:I knew ya didn't know what the hell one really was, jeez some folks here get up-set over simple grammer and spelling.Maple1 said:Ok.

Funny how that seems to work out in places that allow that.gundogpa said:
But a new Ruger for me would help with jobs, not only at Ruger, but at Hornaday here in my state for dies and bullets, course would need brass, primers, powder and such, all made in the US.
See Mape ain't as dumb as we think he is sometimes.

Well I forgive him.....it'll probably be the only thing he promised to do that won't get done.Dad of Toby said:
You know besides the other things like no lobbyists working for the white house, transparent government, bipartisianship, getting the corruption fixed (I'm not sure if tax cheats are considered corruption though so he might have me on that one), the rendition of enemy combatants and closed door legislation.
I guess I forgive him for those too.
I'm just glad that there is no change, I am getting that same old feeling. :laugh:
ETA......I think there is at least one mispelled word in there......and there is surely some bad punctuation too......thanks in advance for the corrections to come from the goody-good spellers.
(I had some trouble with bipartisianship and transparent, they are both kinda tricky)1 - 20 of 47 Posts
