(food for thought). Was in a small local hunting store when a few guys came in from Pennsylvania, They said it was getting hard to find ammo in their area and were checking out our shelves.I asked why then did your state vote for our current ruler.All I said was you people sure screwed up. They said it won't happen again in our life time and that this so called President said at election time he didn't want our guns. We will not forget these lies. I hope we can count on them next election. Tom Remington for President. (food for thought).

I want to be able to remove the skunks, bobcats, feral dogs, and raccoons that threaten my livestock. Why shouldn't I stock up now on guns and ammo? I fully expect BHO and his new government to hike taxes on both guns and ammo as a bare minimum. More likely, they will try to make anything but a single shot firearm impossible for the regular citizen to get. Frankly, I live rurally with a high “critter” population.

Bought a hand gun this summer as my first gun in 13 years and would like to get more. My friend has at least 18 different rifles and guns but that's his 'normal'. Two-part reason to begin with. One: for hiking/photos/hunting? The other is to help educate others that haven't been around guns. I was astonished by the lack of knowledge as to why we keep guns. The other reason was the close, 5 - 4, decision by the SCOTUS in the DC/ Heller case. It's seem too easy to slip on over to more restrictions on guns from such as close decision and who? will be appointing more SC Justices. I’m abnormal until I can get a couple more guns.

We need to ban government, in world history governments cause more trouble and death than any thing else. Just look to the government approved deaths by alcohol consumption, just look to the approved deaths by the Medical Industrial Complex, and those terrorist Doctors who by accident kill 450,00-750,000 Americans per year. "The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." Herbert Spencer 1820-1903 And we could add disarming the fools to shield those men from their folly as well. No thanks, I'll keep my fangs. The bully wants to defang us, who is paranoid ?

If the 2nd amendment has no meaning and the SCOTUS decision can be discarded, why would we bother to live like rats afraid of the resident cat? Is this indicative of the lack of grit and gumption of the public at large, or is just the concept of fear stronger than the principles that men have died for in fighting the good fight for our freedom? No wonder so many men still live in shame....they aren't men at all, but mice.
