Fun thing about those Air traffic controlers.

All they did was leave more room between planes in flight
and slow the system down and BINGO the news and everyone else was on it like a bum on a sandwich.

Tell me this why didn't they make them stay up on the standards that they should have been before sequester started. They didn't have less people in the major airports on duty.
So they had a slowdown and got their way- how nice.

Years ago Regan fired the wingholes when they went out on strike. Maybe someone should have put a boot up their a$$ and made them work the right way instead of the crap they pulled on America.

OF COURSE the air traffic control system could have functioned effectively under the sequester if people at all levels pulled together and operated more efficiently. But the controllers didn't want people to know that the system could do with fewer controllers--and the FAA didn't want people to know that the system could operate effectively with less money.

NAY, it just doesn't do it for me.

Police Chief Asks Citizens for Ammo, Gets 1,500 Round Loan Amid Strong Response

As the "Great Ammunition Shortage" continues, police departments across the country are struggling to supply their arsenals. One police chief turned to the community for help, and citizens stepped up.

In Proctor, Minnesota, police chief Walter Wobig says that his suppliers have told him he'll have to wait "months" for the 1,000 rounds he's requested.

When Wobig turned to the residents of Proctor by putting out a call for help meeting his department's ammo needs, citizens contacted his office, eager to help.

"The citizens were like, 'If you need something, we got plenty here,'" said Wobig.

One resident and a Proctor police officer loaned 1,500 rounds from their personal stockpile to the department.

The Chief says others offered to help too. "I had several other calls from other citizens that said, 'Hey, if you need more ammunition we have plenty,'" said Wobig,

The Chief says that when his ammunition order is filled, he will be repaying the citizens for their contributions.

That is the basic nature of bureaucracy.

That it!, reward them for screwing the public by doing that. They get away with it and it will get worst and worst.
Work or lose your job. Fair work for fair pay or move out and let someone else take the job. It is that simple.
No one should think that they are not replaceable and can screw public and get away with it.

That's true of any union, TB.

Soldier tries open carry, gets arrested.

Looks like California is going to want backround checks on ammo purchases too. $50 fee for the backround check. I would guess it's a 1 time thing and then you get put on the approved to buy ammo list. If your not on the approved list then you can't buy any ammo in the state.

Just remember what they keep telling you....You have nothing to worry about, no one wants your guns.
They have nothing on their minds that will take your rights away...
Yeah right, Just close your eyes until it is to late to change anything.

Well I see you believe obama when he made the 90% reference, well there is a problem as I see it when it comes to this supposed 90%. If 90% of americans supported it as you and obama claim then it would make sense that it would have passed by overwhelming numbers, as the senators who voted against it would have voted in favor of it as they would not have been worried about losing in the next election. Unless you're going to try and tell me that all the senators who voted against it would be worried by the 10% who was against it.


yeah the NRA was instrumental in getting it blocked but I'm sure all the people who contacted their respective senators urging them to vote against this which I did with both of my senators was just as instrumental. Oh wait let me guess just the 10% opopsed to it contacted their senators right.



Simple fact is background checks will never work as the people they are designed to stop will NEVER go through the proper channels in the first place.

Why does this not surprise me?

Really? The murderers from Aurora and Viriginia Tech bought their guns through proper channels. Also, the girl who bought the guns for Klebold and Harris purchased them at a gun show. If either of them had been 18 yet, they wouldn't have needed her and would have obtained them the same way. So, what dark alley did these guys use to buy their guns?

lol at california! another great idea coming from a state that despite having an abundance of natural resources and amazing scenery has turned itself into one of the biggest financial disasters in america. its getting to the point where a head of lettuce has more rights there than a person!

what i've seen coming has begun to take shape, ny and california engaging in a sort of "dueling pianos" to see which state can screw over and inconvenience law abiding citizens even more while continuing with the "death by 1000 cuts" approach to the 2nd amendment favored by the authoritarian dopes in both states. that state is lost, a real shame! on the bright side i'm sure the money generated by this "fee", not tax, will be well spend. my guess, something free for non-citizens!

I suppose they think that this measure is going to discourage gun crime--after all, every criminal buys his ammo at guns stores, right?

Then again, they're not going to collect a cent because there's not a round of ammo to be bought, anywhere.

Beg to differ here, first of all I'm not sure why a 60 minimum vote is necessary to pass a measure in the senate, but it did get votes of more than half the senators, just not 60 out of 100. In every other democracy, half the votes would be enough.

Second of all, I think NRA is more important to these senators than their actual constituents, because you just have one vote, but NRA actually can fund their campaign or that of their opponents.

And thirdly, the approval rating for some of these senators who voted against this bill dropped significantly. So I think you might be in the wrong here.

It's not ncessary. However, 60 votes is the threshhold to preclude a filibuster.

So why didn't they go through a filibuster? Isn't it a good time to show the absurdity of it? Unless both sides are quite comfortable with it, which seems to be the case.

Both sides are more or less confortable with it because each party knows that the majority control of the Seante changes from time to time. Tempting as it is for the present majority party to do away with the filibuster/60 vote rule, its probably not going to happen because one day it will the the minorits
y and then will get all kinds of programs they don't like rammed down their throats.

Very well put, Counselor .

A 4 year old shot and killed his father the other day. They were visiting a friend who left a loaded gun out in the open, loaded. The kid picked up the gun and shot his father - dead. The kid has to live with that. Gun control....hmmm, people control.

You just can't fix stupid....
Do you have a link so I can read the story?
Thanks

A bunch of people shot and killed in St. Louis this afternoon...reports still coming in. Too bad the people who were killed didn't have semi automatics, then there could have been a real firefight, and a few innocent bystanders could also have been killed. More blood on the hands of the NRA,their lackeys and the boneheaded gun nuts.

Like I said- You just can't fix stupid....
or what they do, or how they post it!

Can't fix stupid, but you can take away the things that facilitate stupid.

Thanks for the link. I want to look into the story some more to see some of the real facts. Thanks again.

Connecticut gun maker moving to South Carolina, in wake of tighter state gun laws



Quote:




A Connecticut gun manufacturer is moving to South Carolina after Connecticut lawmakers passed stricter gun-control laws in the aftermath of the fatal Sandy Hook School shootings.

PTR Industries will make the formal announcement next week at a ribbon-cutting to be attended by South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, according to The Sun News of Myrtle Beach.

The company is going to Horry County, which includes Myrtle Beach, and has already approved a resolution setting out the terms of the company's move.

County Council Chairman Mark Lazarus says he's excited about the development.

Josh Fiorini, PTR's chief executive officer, says the plant will employ 140 people, many of whom will relocate from Connecticut. The move will take place over three years.

The company said it had been contacted by 41 states and selected South Carolina from six finalists.

Good. A shithole like South Carolina can have it.

Seems like they were good enought for 41 other states to offer them a new home.
CT loss I guess..... along with 140 housewholes, and maybe 140 houses that may be now up for sale if they follow the company.
Not to mention the trickle down effect on other business still there when they pull out from their payroll checks no longer being in town buying goods and services.
