Free Republic

If I were in London, I would have a 00Buck in a 3/4 inch galvanized pipe nipple and a nail through the end cap in my pocket. I can’t imagine a 20 minute wait for cops while watching that monkey strut around a dead soldier.

All elections have 2 sides, some better then others. If there isn't a Tea Party candidate, you go with the best you have. If there needs to be a change, then someone needs to run against Hatch that can win.(Not someone that discusses real vs. fake rape).

What happened in Texas was Dewhurst was the Establishment candidate and Cruz was raised up from the grass roots. Cruz was dead meat until Sarah anointed him.

The only hitch in Sarah's get along for me is she will NEVER go against McCain. She was raised from obscurity by him and will NEVER turn on him IMHO. All other races, you just pick the best you can get elected. Some will leave a bad taste in your mouth. I wasn't thrilled about Romney, but that's all I had.

I say it should be REQUIRED to at least look at ID to get balance in education. I have several books that highlight the problems with evolution and the "anomalies" it can't explain. If you are never exposed to the truth, you won't have an good understanding for yourself except to say, "I know you are, but what am I?", or some other childish retort that dodges the questions. An evolutionist is taught absolution and has no idea that some of their dictum is flawed and questioned by many. The only recourse they have is to to call names of the ID scientists, or just say "your an idiot". They have no intelligent reasoning to counter existing questions that have been unexplained for decades. Almost daily, there are stories in print that declare, "History must be rewritten!". If evolution is settled, then why so many rewrites? To deny a student another explanation that makes sense is just wrong.

Science is supposed to make one think. To deny one possibility without exploring it isn't science. Most people that cringe and deny ID have never explored it.

All they have to do is adopt the Abeka curriculum from home schoolers. It's already written and is excellent. The history part would make you cry reading about the founders and what they did for us. Anything from David Barton would make all children respect their country and government.

In fact, any textbook from the 1950's would be better than this commie touchy feelie crap we have now. This isn't rocket science. History is history. Why are we constantly changing it?

Saxon Math is widely used and respected. We know how to teach math. It's ridiculous to keep searching for some new way of teaching basic education. Kids today are even dropping cursive writing so they can stop wasting time on it. Can you imagine a kid not knowing how to read or write unless it comes off a printer? And what reason do we need more teaching time during the day,.....to teach global warming and why you might have 2 mommies. To teach the new Obama allegiance anthem, or why Bush was the devil?

This needs to be stopped right now. The guy Bush appointed was a DEM! He gave to DEMS! It can be proven He contributed to DEMS! It doesn't matter that Bush appointed him, other than it make Bush look stoopid appointing Dems to try to look PC.

I've heard this all day. Last show was on Kudlow@CNBC. I'm writing these shows when I hear it, but I'm being ignored anyway. We still need to let them know that we know they are full of CRAP!

They missed the part about EVERY closet had guns in them.

I agree with that, but I'm just saying I'm tired of playing by a different set of rules. I'm 62 years old and have seen this all my life. We have standards,.....they don't. They lie and cheat, and we gripe and lose. Cruz is a good man and if he wants to run, how stupid would it be to give 8 years to Obama and then say,"Well, Cruz can't run."?Even down to registering to vote, they cheat and vote dead people and we try to clean up the roles. They don't even want to produce ID to prove who they are. How stupid is that? Yet we can't even get that passed. If you look at the schools, homosexuality, abortion, stupid judges, taxes, spending, and on and on, 90% of it came from Dems. Even dems don't like much of this. It's because we play by different rules and they have none, that we are where we are.

If Obama is run out of town because he is not eligible, then I will gladly give up Cruz. Otherwise, bring it on.

If Obama is eligible, then Cruz is eligible. I'll be damned if I shoot myself in the head just because we couldn't get rid of Obama. If Obama is removed for not being eligible, then I will withdraw support for Cruz, But I'm not going to play by 2 separate sets of rules. If the Constitution doesn't apply to everybody, it doesn't apply to Cruz. The revolution is coming, but I won't hobble myself just for the hell of it.

The statements I made when Obama was elected was, now that we have allowed this, any anchor baby is now eligible for prez, even if they don't speak English. Are we going to allow 8 years of Obama and then say, "Well, now we an get back to the Constitution, and end up with Cris Christy?"

I'm a 62 year old Texan and can remember growing up where rape was called rape and not sexual assault and it drew the death penalty. Kidnapping was the same death penalty. Remember the Lindberg baby? Kidnapper was whacked in NJ. Now you can kill someone and we argue for months whether you get 10 year 30 years or life. Kidnapping should be death and IMO, rape should be death.

I know there will be all these flames about some 19 year old having a 16 year old girlfriend pregnant, but I think we know the difference between that and rape. We can also discern when a father doesn't get the kids back to the ex wife in time for supper from real kidnapping.

NY is busy buying ads all over the US touting their “new tax cuts” to bring business back to NY. Even Cuomo agrees.

All you have to know is what would happen if Bernanke said he's slowing down to $80 billion a month from $85 billion and the resulting 1000 point DOW drop. I'm still astounded that ANYONE believes Bernanke is going to be able to wiggle out of the mess he's created. He's tried to mitigate the crash, but has merely postponed it. The destruction is still out there in a box, but is waiting for the next president to open the box.

I've been investing since Nixon and a 500 DOW and have NEVER seen anything close to this. I'm not smart enough to understand the "PLAN". Sooner or later the bonds Bernanke is buying will flow back into the economy and it's going to add $trillions in printed money and debt. Right now it's just in a drawer waiting to explode. The strategy seems to be, "Let's stop paying our bills for a few YEARS so we can use the money for other stuff. Somebody else can pay the bills after I'm gone."

Sounds like the plan of someone that wants to destroy America quicker than an atomic bomb.

Abraham didn't know what Jesus said in the NT. There is none good, no not one. He assumed there had to be righteous people in Sodom, so he asked for mercy. God gives Mercy, He also gives Grace, but He is also Just. If Lot had not gone with the angels, he would have been destroyed. Can God not do as He wishes with His own creation? Just as today, God can destroy whom He chooses because everything belongs to Him.

Many here on FR argue over bad things happening to "good" people. I'm saved by the Grace of God, but I also contracted cancer. My daughter has Crohn's and she is born again also. The Word tells us that it rains on the just and the unjust, but if I die, I will live forever with Him. We pay much too much attention to life on Earth. This is but a moment in time. The Bible is there to teach us about the character of our God. Trying to over analyze every verse is just to make arguments.

When God ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son, Abraham knew God had made promises that could NOT be fulfilled if Issac died, so I believe he felt God would raise Issac from the dead if need be. The question is, do you believe God or not? To argue for mercy from God at Sodom is not questioning God's authority, but realizing God cannot change. Even today, if you repent, you can be saved even though you are filthy with sin. God will accept anyone that believes on Him. If not, He wouldn't be "good" all the time. God is good and merciful ALL the time.

We all are born to go to die and go to Hell. The beauty is that God has shown us Mercy and Grace, not that so many are doomed to Hell.

I have no proof yet, but IMO, it wasn’t a BB gun. IMO, the pellets they speak of are plastic. It’s a toy, not even a BB gun.

There was a story yesterday about an Air Force vet wanting to donate her spot in Arlington to him. I sure hope it doesn’t turn out like I fear it will under Obama.

It’s from New Jersey. Nothing good comes from New Jersey.

I was reading that an Air Force vet was trying to donate her right to a burial at Arlington Cemetery. One can only hope Obama didn't get wind of that.

I'm sure they could find a construction site somewhere burying a sewer pipe or septic tank. Somebody somewhere knows where it is. I need to take a dump so they need to hurry and reveal where they tossed the corpse.

...."What is a sovereign citizen?".....

A Sovereign citizen is someone that desires prison and ultimately death over a happy go lucky life. They basically want to do whatever the heck they want up to and including murder without any consequence.

If they hold this woman long enough to study her, I would bet she owes taxes, takes or sells drugs, and is probably wanted for other violations in other places. She will most likely get out tomorrow with a ticket for speeding and resisting arrest. That will enable her to put other citizens at risk so she can get more facial surgery and drugs. By accusing the UHP of stealing her car and blood, she is tacitly admitting that she has done worse than this before. Just for fun, the officer should recommend she get held for 3 days in the psycho ward and maybe she could get put away if she threatens someone. One way or another, her "sovereignty" will be taken from her at some point. The trick is not having someone else die because of her "freedom".

Yes!

.... "create" the internet, then he was also necessary to "create" Auschwitz".....

These are the creations of a lost dead heart in man. Why blame a loving God for things we have created. Creation is the wrong term. Invention fits better, IMO. Auschwitz was not "created", it was invented out of what God created. It was just bricks and mortar until we changed their use. The internet was the same. It is just electrons that were created that move to what we have created. We can use them to praise the Lord or transmit porn, just as bricks can build a church or build an extermination camp.

Many people seem to forget God used plagues of frogs and insects to send Judgement to the world, and used Pharaoh to judge His own people. Everything is about God and for His use.

You say God does not interfere. That is very dangerous to think. It says the USA can do what it wants and there will be no judgement from God. I can assure you, as many in the Bible found out, countries are judged by their actions. If you think God takes no notice of abortion, homosexuality, adultery, murder, ect, then the USA will remain strong. I believe we will pay as a nation. Remember God's time can be a long time. He doesn't have to judge you the moment you view a porn page. He can wait years to finally make you pay after giving you decades to repent. We have murdered 50 million babies over 50 years. The calamity that is coming is justly deserved. Just look at the Gosnell trial going on now. It will surprise me if he even gets hard jail time, let alone the death penalty. If he gets the death penalty, what does that say about us? We have allowed abortion for decades now and even voted baby killers as leaders. Evil will be judged and God will do the judging. I'm sure the Germans thought everything was ok till it wasn't any more. Abortion or Auschwitz, the judgement will be the same and to pretend that somehow America is different than Germany is the ultimate vanity. What happened to Sodom and why would America think things have changed?

...."I am reminded that I've been much more successful in making money during Democratic presidential administrations".....

You must be mistaking the Clinton years for the Gingrich years. Another one coming up is the Dem CRA years for the Bush years. When Clinton capitulated to Gingrich and the Republican Revolution, the economy exploded and you couldn't lose money. Remember "The era of big government is over" and the Contract with America?

Another aberration in people's psyche is The CRA caused crash during the Bush Administration. It was a Dem idea that Bush even tried to bring to Congress' attention, but he was even called a racist for bringing it up. Later McCain held hearings for the same thing. A president that held unemployment to under 5% for the majority of his 8 years ended up with a crash for the last couple of months due to a Dem idea.

Today, my investing mind tells me ObamaCare will kill jobs yet the numbers show otherwise. Oil should be cheap, yet it rises, Gold should be on it's way to $5k an ounce, yet it falls. I continue to lose money on many of my attempts to invest due to these misconceptions of what's going on. I'm sure there are many here that invest in metals believing they must be right someday, but gold falls teaching them the market can remain irrational longer than they can remain solvent. How is it logical that losing more full time jobs and people giving up looking for a job is bullish, but 165k is great when 250k under Bush was anemic?

I just have trouble learning to speak "Dem investing". If you just buy and hold, I guess Dem presidents work, but trying to "market time" is very tough in an upside down world. How long have people been buying gold and shorting bonds waiting for the Fed money printing to take hold. I guess it will finally "work" during the next Rep administration. Whoever he/she is will have to unravel the inevitable gold rise and skyrocketing interest rates. I will be broke by then.

Born and raised in Texas and I never have understood Cinco de Mayo in Texas and San Jacinto day goes almost unnoticed.

This is starting to baffle me. There is NO reason to hire anyone right now. The only explanation I have is they might be counting part time jobs as real jobs. Maybe people that have left the work force are coming back as part timers. I just don’t have a feel for what the numbers are saying. Either I’m crazy or someone is lying.

Sell it before you lose all your money. At least sell it before the roof leaks.

My daughter is a PD officer of a Texas University. She rides alone. The SO rides alone and the PD of the city she is in rides alone.

I think it's only big city PD's that have partners in bad area's, like East LA. My daughter worked for the SO in the past and they ride alone and were the only officer for dozens of miles at times. If she would have gotten in trouble the closest help would have been 20 miles away.

My wife and I THANK GOD that she now works for the university. The closest officer is now NEVER more than 2-3 minutes away. The county NEVER had money, the university is state money. The PD and university PD will help the SO, but they are always out at the edges of the county, not downtown. The PD comes on campus and the UPD goes off campus, but the county Sheriff's are always alone.

This might sound reasonable if it weren't from the Limey News. Perp #2 didn't have a gun when captured. I haven't heard the cop lost his gun. All this is just made up crap unless something besides opinion comes up. If you bothered to murder a cop, it seems you would follow through and take his gun. If you had his gun, why would you be captured unarmed?

I claim BS.

The time to pick is NOW. If we don't field a conservative candidate, then we get Romney lite again. A quick look back at the primary last time would show that we allowed the establishment to pick our candidate. For me, it was Newt Gingrich and I was beaten about the head and neck for months. We played with Bachman, Santorum, Perry, ect, until there was no one left but the author of Obama Care. Any conservative will say they would have voted for anyone than Obama, but why have someone that was just a white Obama? If we don't field our own candidate, we will be forced to vote for some Milquetoast RINO that has his/her finger in the air.

The time is now to start backing whoever we will stick with through thick and thin. I can promise you RIGHT NOW that we will pick a woman or minority this time. The time for white males is just about finished. If you could support Sarah Palin, then support her and make them say bad things about a woman. If you can support Ted Cruz, then make them say bad things about a Hispanic. If we put another white male up, it will be Hillary and we won't be able to say anything without looking as bad as her husband. I still think Newt is the brightest man in the room, but doubt he will line up for the next stoning. My only hope is that the next president will make him part of the cabinet or some adviser.

Right now, Rubio is the one with the flame lit. To stop him, we will need someone at least as attractive. I've seen and heard Rubio and know that he can be a conservative. If you don't like his immigration policy, then we have to raise someone else up to his stature and that will be hard.

Another thing to think about is the media. McCain was a darling of the media until he was against Obama. They might as well have lined him up on a wall and shot him. The "Maverick" was no longer appealing to the left after they put him in as the standard bearer. Whoever we pick better be able to stand the stones and arrows for a couple of years before the election. One thing about Palin is that she has been vetted 6 ways to Sunday. I would hate to have a years worth of my emails made public. To find absolutely NOTHING is almost unthinkable. They couldn't even find something to spin the wrong way. Right now, Cruz could get my vote, even though he hasn't had the anal exam others have had. You can bet it's coming, but I think he is the real deal. Bachman has headaches so she couldn't possibly run the country. Santorum is a Christian, so forget that. Perry can't put together a sentence even though he has the state with the most jobs and no income tax. We have a large field, but only a couple could be winners. All would be better than what we have now, but that's not how presidents are chosen. Looks to me like it will be the one most people would like to have a beer with, forget how they would run the government. Maybe Jay-Z will run next time.

I've waited all my life for someone to make a cogent argument why we let private banks print our money and loan it to us for interest from us. It's like a guaranteed income for life from the American people. They are printing $85 billion a month and buying bonds with it. Then we are expected to pay them interest that they set on it. If they would stop printing, maybe we would stop borrowing. I haven't met anyone that can explain how we get out of this situation.

As some have said here, they cause a collapse, then pump us back up to a worse position and wait for us to keep paying them in perpetuity. Sorta like vampires. It's no where in the Constitution, but there it is anyway.

When Obama says our debt doesn't matter, maybe he's right because we never pay it back, the inflation eats away at our income, and it insures the power elite stay's in power forever. Americans have inflated away almost $5000 a year since Obama was president, yet we don't blame them. If he raises taxes, we gripe, but inflation goes unnoticed. A saver gets nothing for his life savings and begs at the alter of government to bail him out. It's like heroin or something. The only hope is to cut government. Fat chance.

I think it should be brought to a vote. All that vote “AYE”, get impeached.

Just use Butane, it will do fine as a replacement and doesn’t cost as much. If you are going to burn anyway, why not?

It's not about "good" coming from it. It's about destruction. Perverts must destroy good to be accepted. It's not even about equality. The cancer will grow and metastasize in all aspects of civil life to make it uncivil.

I've tried to explain to supporters that they would not like a gym teacher watching their son or daughter in the shower if they knew they were homosexual, but they have become so conditioned to this evil, they cannot even admit they wouldn't sacrifice their own child on Satan's alter. It's no different than homosexual pedophile priests, or NAMBLA, or John Wayne Gacey.

If you were homosexual, what motivation would you have to want to spend all your time with boy children? How many boys will be raped before we simpletons figure out that it's not healthy to place your child in a tent with a grown man that wants to rape him? I, as a heterosexual, would not be allowed to have sleep overs with your daughter, so why place your son in that position?

IMO, there will come a time, decades from now, where children adopted by homosexuals, will recount their abuse for years with no recourse. All you have to do to know something is wrong is notice the sex of their adoptee's . Men adopt boys and lesbian's adopt girls. Will we gasp when we find out about their abuse?

I had an order in to sell some RIG calls for 1.43 and it was sitting at 1.41 and moving my way. Within 1 second it was 1.15 and moving down. It has recovered now to 1.25, but that’s a long way from 1.40’s. This is my income money for the month. I hope I get another chance today.

I'm looking for the video of Kerry saying "Allah Akbar" at a dedication of a Boston Mosque. It is reported, but I can't find the video.

We are a visual people. Seeing it would finish him. Saying what he said just gets accusations of spin and bigotry.

I sent several Senators the FBI files on the VVAW with Kerry voting to assassinate 5 Senators back in the '70s, but hey, it was done in private with only the FBI informants as witnesses so I guess it didn't matter to Senators that could be a target for Kerry and his thugs. He also sold dope to raise money for guns and ammo to overthrow the government, but I guess he wants gun control for everyone else.

I can't ever figure why some Senator( Ted Cruz, are you listening?) doesn't ask these questions in public. I can just see the left gasping and spitting only to have the FBI file read in public to the left wing media. If you can't get a reaction when they are deciding to make him Secretary, then it ain't gonna happen later.

I could not be an accident so there must be a God. If there is a God, then He must be the ultimate reality. If He created me, I belong to Him and owe Him all. My ultimate reality must be to be with Him and be aligned with Him. If He is God, then He is Truth. Truth is absolute. If something is not quite true, it’s false. If something is true, it can’t be false. Morals come from a higher pay grade than you. If there is a God, then why would He allow any other morals? God states what morals He requires and all other “morals” are false. If you make your own morals, there are no morals. You are not God.

What got me was watching the cops firing into the building knowing women and children were inside. The media fixated on Koresh, but the police had to have planned the raid and knew women and children were inside. How dumb was it to plan the raid at his residence instead of catching him at the store or something. The whole thing was a show for more funding for the BATF after the mass in Idaho. Everybody died for a piece of theater.

No one has independently looked at the supposed "automatic" weapons he had. He sold a trigger device with a crank and cam that was perfectly legal at gun shows. Only one person has examined the weapons. Not even the Texas Rangers have been allowed to examine them.

I wouldn't have joined his church, but I don't think you incinerate women and children for basically nothing.

...."Any bill must have the deportation of all illegals as the first step."....

NOT TRUE!!!!

The first step, THE ABSOLUTE FIRST STEP, must be to CLOSE THE BORDER!!!!

Anything else is a waste of time and money. They could vote to close the border tomorrow and we could talk about the rest anytime later.

None of this makes any sense if we don't stop who is coming in and be able to filter out criminals and terrorists. Build the fence first and we can decide what to do later. Without that, all else is worthless.

Just keep beating this dead horse till 2014. I keep hoping Louisiana, Arkansas, Montana, and others will be reminded why it’s dangerous to vote Dem. With a 7% unemployment rate, ObamaCare still the law, and gun control still on the Demwit’s mind, maybe they will give someone a chance.

IMO, any background check would involve some sort of record keeping. If the FFL dealer makes an inquiry, I'm sure the record keepers would keep track of it. I'm sure they would assume I just made a gun purchase if they are checking me.

If a tyrant decided I need to part with my guns, they have my name, SSN, location, basically everything they need to come pick them up. The ONLY advantage I would have is they wouldn't know how many guns I have, but with a search warrant, they just have to have an order to pick up all of them. If I had them squirreled away in different locations, perhaps I could save a few. If 3 inquiries were made in 3 years, they would at least demand 3 guns from me. My response would be that I sold all 3 a year ago. That is why, IMHO, a complete gun registry would be required. I would immediately be a felon for failure to declare all my guns.

Declaring a registry would make all gun owners a criminal and it would be explained as just insuring an accurate background check. Obama Care will insure the government will have all prescriptions in the database, and you can imagine them thinking everyone on Zoloft, Paxil Valium, or any other tagged drug would automatically make you subject for gun removal. There are 30 million patients on SSRI type drugs right now. Almost every major shooter we have read about has either been on SSRI's or was trying to get off of them. Anyone with a mad wife could say her ex husband was threatening her. The scenario's are almost endless to pick up your guns after registration. Background checks are VERY dangerous to someone that loves the Second Amendment. Background checks would lead to registration almost immediately. Law enforcement would complain they can't pick up all the guns if they don't know what you have.

I would kick it up to 9v. It could also be that the transformer doesn’t have the milliamps to do the job. mine are both 1 amp or 1000 ma. not providing adequate current causes voltage drop and heat.

If you want just one more machine on your network, you could just make a cord with transmit and receive reversed. Just plug from one jack to the other and you are networked. Pick one machine as a gateway and set it up to get the other on the net. Another thing I used for years was an old doorstop 486 with software that made it into a router. It was fun to play with because you could configure it to be a server, print server, ect. All of it fit on one 3.5 floppy. You just boot it up and all 3 of my puters were online all day without a hitch.

I have 2 hubs in my junk drawer. Both use 5v DC 1000ma. If you don't have a transformer that is at least 800ma or so, I suspect trouble. It will overheat and damage something. If you use a 5v 200ma, it may blink or do strange things even if the voltage is right. Too many milliamps and nothing bad will happen.

I still say you could look up the model on Google and it will tell you. Try giving us the model and maybe we can help.

According to Wolf Blitzer, it's Apr 15 so it could be a Tea Partier, tax protesters, or one of those Aryan Nation guys. He talked for 20 minutes and never pondered the possibility of a Muslim.

A couple of days ago Cris Mathews had the Southern Poverty Law Center on to accuse the Aryan Nation of the Texas shootings. Yesterday, they arrest a defrocked Texas Law employee.

Common sense and reason have NO PLACE on cable TV.

I was just sorta making a joke. I had the proton therapy for prostate cancer in Houston and all seems well so far. I chose that over radiation because it is aimed directly into the tumor. Radiation treats the whole abdomen and radiates everything like the rectum, bladder, and everything in between. The doctor explained that he could even regulate how deep the protons penetrated by varying the voltage on the gun. They even used large blocks of plastic to block the unwanted protons in the beam from hitting anything but the tumor. All of the energy was released in the prostate and minimal damage was done to the surrounding tissue.

I highly recommend this procedure to anyone you know that gets prostate and other cancers. Many of the people I received treatment with were told there was nothing they could do, so go home and die. A friend I made there had throat cancer and was given 6 months to live. He is completely cured now and is home back at work. It is an excellent treatment for contained tumors that can be "aimed" at. tumors that have spread usually have to have chemo and radiation.

The proton beam can even destroy tumors of the eye without losing your sight. They have a whole wing for prostate treatment, but many more are treated for brain and other locations. I wept almost daily for the children that were treated there with brain cancer. Many had already been cut on other places and then sent home to die. I consider myself an unpaid proton booster for MD Anderson. If you have to have cancer, get it treated there. They were all wonderful to me. BTW, many high dollar people were there also. We had people from Hollywood to China to Saudi Arabia getting treatment there. If people with money chose MD Anderson, that was a pretty good endorsement for me. There was even a personal friend of GW Bush there who got treatment. The doctor that pretty much wrote the software treatment dosages was my personal doctor.

You guys are making fun of this article, but for me, it could be a matter of life and death. I just had a cancer treatment using protons as bullets. If the protons they used are bigger than they thought, they may have killed more tissue than they wanted to. It’s a lot different to be shot with a .22LR than a .45HP. Right now, I think they used those .45 Talon type protons. I hurt all over.

I don’t have a FB account, but I forwarded it to my daughter. She was home schooled.

I think the Tea Party should think about this. In a couple more years, TP’s will be jailed if they don’t get more support.

Even the writer got the president requirements wrong. The president must be a natural born citizen, not “born in the US”. If being born in the US was all that was required, an anchor baby could be elected president. Both parents must be US citizens. I guess they didn’t want to pull the scab off with Obama still in office.

I’m 61 years old now. I don’t remember this much crap in the “good ole days”. Is it me, or is the freaking world just gone bat sheite?

Notice the HIPPA part. They said we have to have this to digitize our medical records and no one could ever get them. Now, here we go, over 30 million people are now on SSRI drugs like Paxil and millions more take Vallium and Xanax.

IMO, it's over people. If this passes, they will require people to register all their weapons with ATF so they can track them. Any reason they want will trigger a visit from jack booted thugs. Your wife leaves you and you get a script for Vallium and you lose your right to have guns.

If they don't require you to register your guns, what good is it? If I have 30 guns, I could buy and sell a hundred guns and they know NOTHING unless they require me to register them. If background check was just to check my name in a database, then I'm sure no one would care. They will never settle for that though. ATF has been copying FFL forms for years since Waco. They even raised the FFL licence cost to get casual gun enthusiasts out of the gun business. My brother in law had his licence to buy and sell for himself and family and friends. He charged nothing or very little because he didn't use it as a business. When the price went up, he gave it up. The BATF came to his home and took his books. Even Dan Rather on CBS News admitted that they were entering the data in a huge database even though it was illegal. To think you have a gun no one knows about is a pipe dream. If they come looking for it, you better produce it or the waterboarding will begin. Thus has it always been in every fascist country since the beginning of time.

This is what the NRA and GOA must keep harping on. Allowing background checks will bring gun registration. Registration brings confiscation. HIPPA laws were there to keep everything quiet so we could allow the government to digitize our health records. Now they can thumb through them at their leisure. Background checks will do no good if they don’t know who has what.
