The D.C. Idiots Want Certain Color Guns

Tracey Ambeau Hanson, a resident of the District of Columbia, recently sued the District after they rejected her registration application for her Springfield XD-45 because it was the WRONG COLOR! The District of Columbia bases its list on approved handguns on the California (liberal left coast)Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale. Well, it turns out that Ms. Hanson's gun is black and silver and silver is not on the approved list. So her stainless steel slide gun is rejected on that basis. What a bunch of #&*@ing idiots in D.C. and add California in there too.

This pretty much explains why we are where we are.

Thank Obama, The Moron In The Oval Office

Barack 0bama is on track to eliminate shooting hobbies, even if it
breaks the Country. Thanks to all of you who voted for him.

Sooner or later he'll get around to something that affects YOU.

This is breaking news....

Georgia Arms is the 5th largest retailer of .223 Ammo in America. (they

sell 9 mm, .45, etc) They normally buy spent brass from the US

Dept of Defense - 'one time used' shell casings by our Military - from

training on Military bases, etc. They buy the brass and then re-load

for resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Shops, Gun Clubs, etc.



They normally buy 30,000 lbs of spent brass at a time.



This week the DoD (Dept of Defense) wrote a letter to the owner of
Georgia
Arms and said that from now on the DoD will be destroying the brass -

shredding it. It is no longer available to the Ammo makers - unless
they
just buy it in a scrap condition (which they have no use for). By The
Way
- The brass is NOW going to be sold by the DoD to China as scrap - For

less money than Ammo manufacturers have been paying for the shells
before
processing to destroy. That sure helps the US economy now, doesn't it?

Sell cheaper to China - and do not sell shells at all to a proven US

business. Any agenda working here?

The Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his competitors
had already purchased a load of brass last week - and the DoD contacted
him this week and said they were sending someone over to make sure it
was destroyed. Shell Casings he had already bought! THE BRASS HAS NO VALUE TO THE AMMO MAKER IF IT IS DESTROYED/SHREDDED/MELTED. HE ONLY USES IT TO RELOAD DIFFERENT CALIBERS - MAINLY .223 BULLETS.

Georgia Arms owner says that he will have to lay off at least Half of
his 60 Workers, within 2 - 3 months if the DoD no longer sells their spent
brass to him. He has 2 - 3 months inventory of shells to use. By summer - he's out.

Well, what can I add to this news. Just that we have one dumb President sitting in the Oval office.

UPDATE To this article:
Actually, Department Of Defense has rescinded this directive and ordered the brass be "re-classified" so sales will continue to be allowed. But I'm sure they're working on the same result from another direction like a huge excise tax on ammunition and components to reload your own ammo.

Give Support To Your Wife

It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.

Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Carol Anne. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Carol Anne to get a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age.

I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club, so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door.

She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But, Boys, we take'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two, or even three days. That way, she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half-finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me, too.

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Carol Anne.

I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, Guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.


Signed,

Solution To High Priced Ammo

In North Carolina, Rufus has a solution to the high price of ammunition. Uncle Earl made my first sling shot for me when I was 8 years old and I never could hit anything with it. Maybe I needed some lessons from this guy.

Tiahrt Co-sponsors 2nd Amendment Self Defense Bill

WASHINGTON—U.S. Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Goddard) today co-sponsored the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Bill (H.R. 197). This legislation would protect the rights of licensed firearm permit holders by allowing them to carry firearms across the country without a confusing patchwork system.

"The National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Bill recognizes that those who have a valid state-issued concealed firearms permit should not have to forfeit their safety when traveling," said Tiahrt. "Not only does this bill protect the rights of concealed firearm permit holders, it also maintains the right of states to issue concealed weapons permits as they desire. As a mobile society, legal firearm permit carriers should be able to travel from state to state and exercise their fundamental right to self defense—this legislation ensures that."

Specifically, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Bill would allow any person with a valid concealed firearm carrying permit or license, issued by a state, to carry a concealed firearm in any state, as follows:

In states that issue concealed firearm permits, a state’s laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would apply within its borders.
In states that do not issue carry permits, a federal "bright-line" standard would permit carrying in places other than police stations; courthouses; public polling places; meetings of state, county, or municipal governing bodies; schools; passenger areas of airports; and certain other locations.
The bill applies to D.C., Puerto Rico and U.S. territories.
It would not create a federal licensing system; it would require the states to recognize each others’ carry permits, just as they recognize drivers’ licenses and carry permits held by armored car guards.

It's about time someone introduced legislation on the national level to protect the concealed handgun license holder. Good job, U.S.Representative Tiahrt from Kansas.
