Katrina Aftermath....It's Bad......

[viper548]

How about if legislators would quit creating new laws...wouldn't that kinda sorta keep the prisons a little less occupied?

Think about it...5 years ago, if somone a bayonet lug on a certain rifle, they were in violation of federal law. Today, you can put bayonet lugs on till you get blue in the face. WTF is really going on? "net-widening" and "overcriminalization".

I completely agree with that. Unless you're using weapons illegally, I think you should be able to have whatever you want. I have a .50 cal revolver myself. I bought it because at the time there was talk of banning it (like anyone is gonna take this thing to rob a liquor store)

WTF are they looting. TV's? Where you gonna plug it in? Car's? Where you going to drive it?

Note to self. Don't buy a car from New Orelans or surrounding areas even if it has a really really good price.

You know some a hole is going to try to sell his car and say that musty smell is a leak in the roof.

The Silence Is Deafening

The Silence Is Deafening

Tuesday, August 30, 2005

By Neil Cavuto

Maybe I missed it, but I have a question: Where's the global relief effort for us today?

New Orleans (search) is under water. Mississippi (search) is a disaster. Scores are dead. Homes are destroyed. Businesses are shut down.

When this kind of stuff happens to other folks, we're there. When this kind of stuff happens to us, who's here?

I know we're a rich country. But I think it a bit rich so few call to wish us well in this country. Perhaps some have and perhaps I've missed it.

Still, others never miss a chance to bash us if we've done something wrong or done nothing at all.

All I know is a lot of poor folks here got hit here. Would it kill the same foreigners we've helped there, to offer support here?

I don't expect a telethon. But how about a call on a telephone?

Maybe some countries have offered rescue personnel. I just haven't seen them. I'll keep looking. I'll keep waiting. I'll keep wondering.

All I know is for now, the silence is deafening. And the water in New Orleans isn't the only thing that stinks.

 

[Yank McCobb]

Hey. Another one on the bandwagon. How "original".

Yeah, you "misssed it" alright.

 

[Herman Bloom]

Yes, yes, you're right...the entire world is against us. We are the last of the rugged individualists, alone in the fight for what's right and good. Must make you feel all warm and validated inside.

Just not particularly true is all.

Uhhhh, it was a correlation, not a pro second amendment rant.

Anybody that accidentally made the mistake of putting banned features on a post ban rife and were caught, prosecuted and sent to prison for the federal crime...are still in prison now as we speak. However, since the ban is gone, we can now put the previously banned features on the rifles without a care in the world.

The correlation is this...not every person is in prison for rape or burglary and not only that, but people are in prison for crimes that are not even crimes anymore. Think about it...the relevant portions of the 1994 Violent Crimes and Law Enforcement Act are gone. Bush let them sunset...but there is no "amnesty" program. Anyone busted for violating that ACT is probably still in prison. Meanwhile, I get to thread my barrel and put a flash hider on it...coool.

FN FAL, I agree they need to re-evaluate why some people are locked up. The people locked up in your example is a strain on the system and their cells could be used to lock up more serious criminals. I could care less about people putting banned crap on their guns. That doesn't affect anyone. I'm concerend about the violent crimes and people that keep their hands off other people's stuff. Where I live, there is a big car theft problem. I get pulled over for having tint on my front windows while dozens of cars are stolen every month from shopping centers.

At least the police are there to take the theft report...that's a good thing.

 

[viper548]

They take the theft report and tell you that there are a lot of chop shops in the area and it's unlikely your vehicle will be recovered.

 

[gkrangers]

Russia pledged help.


Also...the Army Engineers tried to plug one levee break which giant sandbags, and failed.

Water is expected to rise several more feet.

 

[wrxpilot]

Oddly enough, President Chavez of Venezuela also offered help, including fuel. Cavuto needs to keep his mouth shut right now, there's too much going on for that kind of BS.

 

[MDAutry]

I love being an American... In America we have these freaks all over the US violating children and Martha Stuart gets more time in the pen. These are 3 and 4 time offenders and they basically walk b/c of contaminated evidence or like that guy in Florida who did not have his Miranda rights read to him. Never mind these kids deal with this ... for the rest of their life. It is Crazy... By they way anyone ever thought of flying border patrol in a SuperCub, Now I would like that job. I would feel great satisfaction in that job. And maybe I can borrow Viper's .50 cal for a couple of months.

 

[macfly]

My only question is, who flys the first leg and who mans the .50?

sign me up, I could be the first minute men ace.

 

[Lindy]

Aid Pledged from Mexico....

I read an article on-line that Mexico & another country has pedged help. I'll see if I can find the link.

Just clean it before you bring it back. It's got a lot of kick and the ammo is expensive though.
