Our first order of business should be to expell all Muslims on visas of any kind from any Muslim country. Then we could review the citizens from said countries. There's just too many potential fifth columnests to look at each case. The Muslim religion calls for the extermination of other religions and their adherants. (Although it makes an exception for Christians and Jews who can remain alive by becoming 4th rate people and paying special taxes for the privilige of breathing air.) Believe me, the're out to get us.

I don't like that. I like that people are buying, but I sure hope these people have at least basic training.

I have been putting off becoming a gun owner.(living in NJ--planning to move to CO)Never shot anything besides a bb gun. I am going to go ahead and get a shotgun for home defense. I agree with you on the training. The way I see it, I have to budget for 1 shotgun and some ammo, NRA safety training for me and the wife, and money for the shooting range. I wouldn't think of having a gun around without getting at least basic training for me and the missus. Why am I stepping it up? I dunno. Fear, I guess.

I certainly believe you BnBIFlag.
But sadly no such policies are even remotely possible in Ted Kennedy's Americsa. (Islamics are equal rights to be here and blow up buildings build MOsques etc etc.) In fact, huge numbers of Islamics are being imported and "assimilated" as we speak, to supplant us and Christianity.

BTW WRT "special taxes" are you familiar with the "blood tax?"

And Huch, you're arming up?
We've crossed swords before and as I recall, you're stepping out of character- but if so, welcome aboard!

[Huck]

We may have crossed swords before, but if so, I doubt it was on RKBA grounds. I fully support the right, and have been looking forward to exercising it for some time. I was going to wait til I got out of Jersey, but I think I will move ahead. I am looking into how much it will cost. I want one shotgun for home protection, and one pistol. I have been told that an inexperienced shooter, who doesn't have much practice time, should choose a revolver. I am researching online. I understand Ruger makes some good pistols. I am looking at the GP100, for example. I am looking at Winchester shotguns. The Model 1300 defender. NRA instructors around here charge around $100/hr. So I am looking at about a $1200-1500 investment to get a shotgun and a pistol, plus training, for me and the wife. I'm going to start the permit process moving,which can take 30 days, and continue to do some online research, including on the many gun buyer threads here. I have freeper contacts who can advise where needed.

Sounds good to me. But the 100$ an hour seems a little rich. If you have any friends who are gun-owners or hunters, they would probably be willing to check you out on pistols and shotguns/ basic gun safety etc gratis. If not consider joining a gun club/range. They should have group classes you can take for far less.

Unfortunately when the s**t hits the fan; if through a bad mis coculation and they take me alive. I will be tried as a adult. As to your other point they are not here just me and some of my closest friends. As for the church I quit preaching along time ago; every one thought the tv had all the true answers. {BE WELL IN YOUR QUEST!}

Here in Greenwich, Connecticut, I walked down the main street (Greenwich Avenue). EVERY single open business had an American flag in the window, except Starbucks and a restaurant (Bleu, but it has a large window in the front that lifts up like a garage door, so there is really no front window, just an open space). Most of the stores had a paper flag from the newspaper taped up in the window, but a few businesses had large cloth flags. The newspaper shop that sells newspapers, magazines and lotto tickets had a whole bunch of flags, as the owner of the store is Middle Eastern and presumably wants to make it clear that he didn't support the attacks...
