Never believe a progressive when they promise you anything, because it might be raining tomorrow or the local starbucks may have an extra long line.. Never follow the lead of a progressive , never ever believe someone who's mind changes by the weather, how much the cat pooped this morning, their boyfriend dumped them, or the AG says there was no collusion.. You just can't trust folks who have no self worth..

I was never a big fan of Dicks Sporting Goods but I wont go in there anymore. I used to regularly shop at Target too but I havent been in a Target over the last few years. They wont see a dime of my money either.
I found this place, and they are not dicks, but the real deal: Sportsman's Warehouse
Alloysteel, I bought one o' them thar Assault Rifles a few years ago, and it's been a big disappointment.
I stood it in my living room corner and it ain't assaulted a single one of several rude visitors I'd hoped it would.
Maybe it's a factory defect, just my luck.

They halted semi-automatic weapons sales, not assault weapons sales. They never sold assault weapons.

I was wondering something like that. I’ve done a little business with Bass Pro, and quite a bit more with Cabellas, before Bass Pro took them over. I figured the combination of the two, and the other B-P subsidiaries would be the largest.
I guess they are, in the most important way... money.
To: Navy Patriot
Well let’s just hope it’s not over yet. I hope they keep losing until they are dead and gone.

LOL.
Maybe it’s true that guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
And knives, fireplace tools and even big rocks outside. Don’t tell the gun grabbers, they might cry.
