https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/84585 S&W MP15-22 w/ the threaded barrel. $422 and in-stock. This would have been a fair price this past summer. Get em' while they last!

From you, I'll wear it as a badge of honor!

Interesting...especially since the CRH (60 replacement) is still receiving funding per this year's DoD Budget. Then again with sequestration, I would be surprised if the program gets cx'd...again.

I forgot to add that he's going to call you a racist as well.

Careful now...if you disagree with Joe he's going to call you stupid, heartless, and let you know why he's correct and why you should never question his opinion.

My stats are referring to the 2004 National Election in which Bush only received 44% of the nationwide Hispanic vote...and it's been going downhill since. I do believe a Rubio, Jindhal or Martinez could do better than Romney's 30% (seems hard to imagine that they could do worse), but it's coming down to the fact that Dems see a solid majority of Hispanics voting their way in years to come, and so they're giving what the majority of Hispanics want to see come from government--welfare, amnesty for illegals, bilingual education, etc. For the record, I don't disagree at all with Joe and Nsplayr that the Dems are playing politics a whole lot better than the GOP (especially on the national level), but to me, the Republic is way more important than playing politics, though those on the left seem to disagree. So back to the guns--I'd say expect more of the same from the States where Dems have control. They believe this issue is on their side and in a little less than 2 years we'll see if they are right. In the meantime, I'd continue to stock up, especially as prices become somewhat more reasonable again. The Dems are showing most of their cards in regards to the 2nd Amendment, so don't be surprised when they go all out--1 more liberal Justice on the SCOTUS and the Heller decision would have been flipped.

I could care less if we're down to one State, as long as that's the one that I am in. Texas will be Colorado in 20-30 years. Hispanics are by far the fasting growing demographic and they are currently being born 50% out of wedlock which is more of a recipe for requiring welfare than not...couple that with that they recently voted 70% for a politician that promised everybody free stuff and there you have it--solid and growing base for the Dems (Bush never even got to 45%) . Throw in the wild card that the GOP might be stupid enough to allow the illegals to become citizens and then it's even worse. All I'm saying is that if you're trying to forecast what a State will be like, you can't just look at its current makeup. Texas is a no-go for me. But as always when it comes to this issue, I hope I am wrong.

No worries man, you're exaxtly right. Anybody who cares about freedom should write/call their reps. Don't say it too loud though, as we might scare the few libs on here who are scared of guns.

I appreciate you noticing my badass'ness! If you read what I wrote, my reply was 100% in context. But don't you worry, I talk about guns all the time, not just on Internet forums. If you ever become a pilot you'll realize that a lot of us talk about guns, even at work. Oh wait, don't worry, you'll never become a pilot.

I can see that you don't visit the gun forum much. Then again I'm not surprised as pussies are typically afraid of guns.

I'm fairly confident that Gov Martinez will veto any such bill that makes it to her desk. I sure do appreciate the Dems giving the GOP this gift for the 2014 midterms--trying to take people's guns away I don't think will be a popular issue to defend in 18 months.

Got it--politics at all costs over principles and a realistic view of what is happening to the country. You are correct, the Dems have this one down.

Interesting question. I look at it as the squirell who keeps coming up to the same person because the squirell knows where it can get its food--if it stops getting fed, the squirrel won't come back and will go elsewhere. The Red States (I'm speaking the mountain west States (less CO) and the plain States) need to ensure they severely limit what attracts those who leach...so extreme limitations on welfare, strict adherence to enforcing laws/cracking down on crime, not giving into the PC BS, etc. There's a reason illegal immigrants are attracted to States (CA for example) that 'look the other way' and who also are very happy to give them welfare, driver licenses, etc. I'm generalizing here, but it's a shame as it applies to the majority. The problem with CO is that it was purple-red in the past, but with liberal Denver increasing welfare spending, State college education for illegals, etc, and now with the increasing Hispanic population, it has moved closer to being purple-blue. The Hippies in Denver and Boulder got their way. Read the exit polls fom the last election, they are very very telling.

You can do all but 2 of those listed in a handful of much better States--and as for the NFL game, that's what the 60" flat screen and the occassional vacation to the actual stadium is for. As for free beer, I think I can afford 3 Coors, and besides, it's not like he was going there more than once a month! (though I could be wrong).

The liberals (which now owns the Democratic Party) only care about pushing their social agenda where government has most of the control. People having firearms does not further this agenda, and neither does reducing welfare, drug use, and deporting illegals--as they also rely on the government and if they do in fact become legal citizens one day then most likely they will vote Democrat. Here lies which way CO is going. I've said it before and I'll say it again--it comes down to demographics, birth rates, and also out of wedlock birth rates. If you want to know which way a State will be in 10-20 years, look at the demographics. What's also interesting is that you can predict which large metropolis areas are going to have the most crime just by looking at the demographics (not an exact science but it's a strong correlation). Think about it--most intelligent people look at crime stats to choose/not choose which neighbor to live in...why wouldn't you extend that same thought rationale on which city/State to live in? I know it also comes down to employment, but at some point you have to decide what's most important.

I'm thinking it will...the Dems contol the entire State government (Gov and legislature) so I'm sure they figured this all out before they started pushing their bills. It's seems like most States that are entirely run by Dems are doing more or less the exact same thing, with a few exceptions. For those who live there voluntarily, it's easy--vote with your feet and move. For us poor suckers in the military, we won't be in forever and then we can chose where we want to live.

Uh oh...we're agreeing again. Those of my friends, who happen to be Mormom, are some of the best people I have had the pleasure of being friends with over the years. They will do just about anything in order to help you and also have great family structures.

Actually that is the first time I have seen it, but thanks for the link. My opinions on where I want to live and retire are based off quite a bit of research I do on the various States that I find appealing. As for you liking Utah--wow! I figured a big lib wouldn't want anything to do with the land of the Mormons (I jest). Maybe a slight Libertarian streak in you somewhere?

I'd cross New Mexico off the list if I were you. With the exception of the current Governor, the State is ran by Dems who are all about driver licenses for illegals, and it also wouldn't suprise me one bit if in the future they tried to get a ban similar to the one being proposed in CO. I bet Arizona will follow suit in the next 10-20 years. I think the best States for freedom and liberty (guns are just a symptom of this) are Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah...with Montana still being pretty good (though they seem to have a slight liberal streak)--I guess the most of the plain States are pretty good as well.

Sounds like you should be a Nav...then you and Nsplayr can be friends and hangout.

I love how people (Dems) try to say with a straight face: "Nobody is trying to take your guns away from you!". Flat out lie.

I bought mine in Oct for $680 on Buds LE and then got the $100 rebate. Given the climate, this is a pretty damn good deal. Here's the link with the current $100 rebate: https://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_757803_-1_757797_757797_image

Dude, the Dems had their chance in 2009-2010, and since then have had their chance in the Senate (no filibusters that I'm aware of) to at least pass it and send it over to the House. I would like them to pass it in the Senate and send it over to the House, until then, the party of supporting gay marriage isn't doing all they can. Trust me man...I blame the GOP for not repealing (or at least meaningful attempts at trying to repeal) from 2001-2006 a lot of the anti-gun laws already on the books. Call a spade a spade.

I don't have any problems with any of the new provisions. Hell, I don't have any problems with extending all the same benefits, just repeal DOMA and have that be the end of it...but nope, the Dems would rather talk gun control that wil do nothing to fix gun violence. Be cool if the GOP House would pass a bill repealing DOMA but then that would send a 'negative' message to the Bible Belt folks (like the majority of them would vote Dem anyway)...one can always hope the country becomes more Libertarian, but I just don't see it happening.

Or you could just discover scotch and see what you've been missing.
