   @Letmethink

   Last number I saw was there is 9 million legal gun owners in the US. This is just saying they have a gun. More than half have more than one.

   Can’t confiscate if they do not know we have them. Bought ours in SC and did not have to register them.

   Hey There Navy Dude!!! good to see you around!
   Gun control will just turn more law abiding citizens into non-law abiding citizens! They take my guns, I will get illegal guns to protect my household. does not mean I will rob stores or people or go on shooting sprees but I WILL have protection!!!

   I will be in and out. Have a busy week, heading south on Thursday to Miami to visit with my father. He is in country for the month.

   As far as turning us into a bad guy, the wife said it would be a cold day in heck before she turned in her gun. If it was a choice of being killed by someone breaking in to our house or going to jail for killing them she is going to jail. I said ditto

   Good letter to Feinstein from a marine
   Senator Dianne Feinstein,

   I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime.
   You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.

   I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.

   I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.

   I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
   We, the people, deserve better than you.

   Respectfully Submitted,

   Joshua Boston Cpl,
   United States Marine Corps
   2004-2012

   On Gun control

   It’s just a farce; all they are leading too is taxing Bullitt sales and guns. Next they will go after arrows and cross bows of which I have several.

   See Europe

   We also both agree that we will not be entered into a database that may or may not lead to sometime in the future they can knock on our door to take our guns.

   Whatever happened to the EPA controlling bullets by having them classified as toxic waste?

    Hi, usnavy . The more the merrier.

    Some of our gun friends told us to only buy unregistered guns. We are no gun people & only have a shotgun for possible break ins.

    I saw this the other day.

    This family lives in a beautiful home. Fox News & their affiliates carried the story , but, since Fox links are copyrighted, it took searching to find a non partisan account of the story.

    I see where BOA :

    Freezes Gun Manufacturer’s ,American Spirit Arms, Deposits Saying: “We Believe You Should Not Be Selling Guns On The Internet”

    BANK OF AMERICA Manager told small business the reason that the deposits were on hold for FURTHER REVIEW …HER EXACT WORDS WERE …

    ..” WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD NOT BE SELLING GUNS and PARTS ON THE INTERNET “

    After that being said another Manager got involved and released one of the deposits (to help out )… So far to date after

    Two weeks of sales only 1/3 of collected internet sales have been released so far. Needless to say, American Spirit Arms is looking for a new bank.

    @Ratboy

    So, now that we have to have a passport (or card) just to enter Canada how is that going to effect business in Michigan Rats? and Vise Versa?

    I bet it does effect money going and coming from Canada, tourist wise…

    @Letmethink

    Once a gun confiscation program is announced, mine will be harder for authorities to find than WMD in Iraq. In an emergency I’m pretty sure I could leave them with my next door neighbour – they have one of those “protected by this company” signs on the front yard, to me an indication that they might not have guns on their property.

    @Coffee Steve

    Morning, I do not think that they will get a bill passed to confiscate guns any time in the near future. However, I do think they have a chance on getting a database of legal gun owners which is a step in that direction. I also do not want to end up in a Google earth listing.

    Hillbilly, LOL get an A or date

    Twenty-five years ago there were good paying factory jobs. But automation and better shipping options are eliminating these jobs. Our high schools need to adjust. The government requirements are not the answer. The government says everyone needs class a, b and c and schools lower the requirements to pass those classes. My high school used to have a class called “Family budgeting.” You had to take it to graduate. It was basic life skills. How to pick a bank, how interest rates work, how to set up a budget. But my high school no longer offers that class but the state requirements for other classes didn’t leave room for it.
    High should be getting students ready for a job or college. Before high school we can worry about basic skills. But in high school it should be about being ready for a trade school, a junior college path or a 4 year University.

    I’d look to see school districts merge at the high school level. So, you can have a school with your highest performers with lots of Advance Placement classes. Another school with students who want to go to college but need extra help to get them there. Another school for students that just want a trade skill.
    I see no reason why a student can’t leave high school with a beauty licence, a nurses aide licence, a mechanics licence, a truck drivers licence and on.

    If we focus on training a skill to many student the math, science and reading numbers will come up. Once students understand the role of math, science and reading in the job choice it becomes easier for them to learn.

    @d.d.

    BOA is just the tip of the iceburg, many gunshops are running into roadblocks now, not getting loans for improvement etc. Seen a report on that a few weeks ago locally…

    Coffee, we have been going to Canada for the past 7-8 hears. We have had to have a passport since our first trip.

    @USN

    Agreed. But once that database is in place, lookout, you’ll see the IRS and many Gov agencies finding all kinds of trash to go after gunowners, and then the fun can start overnight.

    @d.d.

    Shot guns are good but do to much damage to the house or someone close by. Both myself and better half can empty a clip in center mass at 25 ft at a rapid fire and pop in a new clip in 4 seconds.

    @LetMeThink

    When we visited my Brother in law at Port Huron, we used to drive over the bridge and go to the festival of lights in December, (last time we went was 2 years ago) we never had to show our passport until now, we just drove to the booth answered a few questions and allowed in for a few hours.

    Now my Brother in law when he gets his driver’s license pays a fee and gets some kind of pass to go across attached to his license.

    I think they will do as they did with coal–tax it so much you can’t afford to have a gun or bullets.
