This definitely needs a sticky so we can stay updated often.

 

thanks pooling

 

I know I'm a newb here, but I'm a passionate one (and at 33 I've got over a decade of gun ownership under my belt). I agree. They should let this kind of stuff sit here for the time being. Nobody is forcing anyone to read obviously political threads, but it does keep it in the forefront.

 

I've said it a few times, I've given the NRA and GOA enough money this month to buy the AR-10 that I've been lusting after. My conscience is clear. Maybe these reminders will get some other folks to join the band wagon.

 

Speaking of.. I haven't become a forum donor yet. I'm going to go fix that right now.

 

Edit: Fixed...

Yeah, if we can keep the politics out of this thread, just so it doesn't get bumped to the politcs catagory and get obscured by password. This is the law. It's vitally important that we know it, because it effects not just every person that comes to this forum, but every man, woman and child in this country; our very future is at stake!

This was a complete waste of time. It doens't even show up under "New Content" now that it's been moved. I guess rules are rules...I think this time, they're doing us all a great disservice.
