We don't need background checks or even cash to get firearms.

Now you know why all those LGS owners OC while at work. Now if only they'd increase their security and keep up with their inventory better.

I was at a shop yesterday that seemed to be in total disarray....didn't buy anything firearm related (they only had DRT 45 in stock) so we instead bought a few rooster tails just to support the shop some.

white, black, brown, green or any other color, this guy is stupid. Why do you have to bring race into to it. No one else has.

hearing aids also don't increase the frequency spectrum the ear is capable of hearing.

some well-worn ruts are being worn into debate on this subject:

1) One can openly troll, bait and disrupt, even as charges of same are made by the same trolls and disruptors;

2) One can "Alert" successfully for alleged "racist" posts if the poster is pro-2A, even as racist remarks by controllers are excused;

3) The Ads have taken a peculiar laissez faire approach to DU, esp. referencing guns.

The Ads may see this state of affairs as a means to prop-up an historically weak/non-existent grass-roots control outlook. I've noted increasingly lines of attack opened up on Krispos by some controller/banners; IMO, these will only intensify if ANY controller/banner is blocked for anything, followed by demands to sympathetic Ads for a "fair and balanced" governance of the original open-debate group about guns. The result:

An even shorter leash on pro-2A folks in this group with even more wide-open personal attacks and smear; continued protected status for the doctrinaire Castle BansaLot (the SECOND site for controller/banners); and continued wide-open personal attacks and smear in GD, which has become a de facto THIRD site for gun-controllers/banners.

Perhaps someone can PM him and make a suggestion that the next time he wants to talk about sheets and socks, that's the group he needs to go to.

May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping.
