how could trump be take less seriously overseas than obama? or in the USA even??

Yuck! About the only Democrat who even pays lip service to the 2nd Amendment appears to have lost California.

My advice:

• Get into the trenches and support local or national pro-2A candidates -- not all of us can do this, but the more the better!
• Donate to the NRA. Other "2A" organizations are reputed to fly false colors, so be sure to vet them before donating!
• Donate to pro-2A candidates even if they aren't yours,
• Communicate the value of the 1s & 2nd Amendments along with the entire Bill of Rights, to individual liberty and their positive impact on public order and safety. Do this even with folks and incumbents who are rabidly anti-gun.
• Actively work to support local shooting ranges in urban settings -- the more folks who actually shoot the better are the chances for keeping the Bill of Rights intact.

Show your hands....

Who here believes that today's ballot box (controlled candidacy, marginalized 3rd parties, and outright manipulation of ballot counts, secret proprietary software) will fix anything? Show of hands.

OK, all you government employees may put your hands down.

Who remembers that one definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result"? Show of hands.

Who thinks that elections are just theatre for the insane and comatose? Show of hands.

We now resume our regular programming...

You've heard that the Chabot Gun Club is being denied a renewal of their lease with the East Bay Regional Parks District? I am told that the hearing was packed with Club supporters, but to no avail against the "noise, lead, and yucky guns" sentiments. http://chabotgunclub.com

Surprisingly Supervisor Nate Miley supported the club. In the 90's, Nate was the source of considerable gun ban activity in Alameda County. Go figure.

i am spending the rest of this year getting into the sales that are happening right now on all the stuff i need for the next bit of time. its very hard to tell if that bit of time will go on for 4 years, 8 years or behond. all i know is that i am making as sure as i can that i will be able to have fun with the hobby i really love and have a way to provide meat for my table, and i dont mean hitting deer with a car!!!!

I think it's a great idea to keep stuff stocked up and thinking ahead, especially when things are on sale or reasonably priced.

The biggest problem with "hoarding" for future use is that when the time comes when reloading components or ammo is scarce, it's nearly impossible to tell how long the shortage will last, or if it will become permanent. Therefore it takes all the fun out of sport shooting for me as I feel like I'm shooting up a finite resource with no way to replenish what I've burned. For example I love CCI's subsonic 22lr hp's, and have a few bricks from before Newtown. But I use them very sparingly because there is no reasonable way to get more for what I paid for those.

I have enough to withstand a long dry spell, but I wouldn't be able to shoot at the rate I normally do. No matter how much I had stocked up, I wouldn't be able to shoot at the rate I normally do. But I would be able to hunt, work up a load or two, and practice a little.

During WW2 all domestic ammunition was directed to the war effort thus all civilian sales of hunting or even 22LR ammunition were stopped. Ammunition was very scarce and even more the reason to make every shot count when hunting if one was lucky enough to have any ammo in personal stock.
It is one thing to have to sacrifice during a national emergency but when it is for political objectives it becomes a whole new ball game.

Now...I dont know anyone who can make their own primers, but brass powder and bullets are all do-able. So to prepare, I plan to stock enough primers to last my lifetime.

Sound advice. But, after eight years of a sustained divide-and-conquer strategy, is that enough? I'm concerned:
Police Chief: Revolution Coming If Obama Tries to Disarm American People (http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...erican-people/);
Sheriff Warns of Second Revolution if Guns Are Banned (http://conservativetribune.com/sheriff-warns/).

my guess would be the first thing HRC goes after will be ammo under the EPAs toxic standards , the second thing is she will require all firearms owners to have ins coverage at inflated rates, the next thing will be open up gun owners and manf to lawsuits --

she can cause a ton of pain and not even touch the 2nd-- by the letter of the law-- not the spirit. i'm sure a call to ammend the constitution is in the works as well-- good by 2nd and free speech.

and guess who she will appoint to the SC??? the most rabid anti-gun , socialist , leftist she can find and that will be the new majority.

Well, after overnight orlando fiasco the pace is gonna pick up. Now dont panic for goodness sake! But take the time to think ahead.

I think everyone in our community (not just Grendel) knows what we need to b doing. Just don't publish it. God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason.

don't ya just love the way the goobrment dodges the fact that this was ISIS/dash attack in orlando??

Doesn't matter. Nobody is going to do it, anyhow.

God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason.

We have two ears so as to be able to discern the direction a sound comes from.

We only need one mouth for speaking, eating, and sex.

Why don't we start talking about banning the internet, or at least the "assault pages" of the internet. It was the internet that radicalized him, not his AR. All these "lone wolf islamic terrorists" are reading the manifestos or jhihadist ideals or whatever drivel it is on the net. His "assault weapon" was probably just leaning in a corner minding it's own business. Oh wait, I forgot, we're guaranteed free speech in the Constitution.
