Title: I want some of that money !
Post by: 1776 Rebel on December 11, 2008, 03:55:24 PM

Here is an article from the WSJ on how OUR money is going to be spent...

While the WSJ may have objections to these projects, I want to propose one of my own...

Since we are in the middle of an unbelievable spending binge let's build 1000 shooting ranges across America and its territories !  That comes out as roughly 20 per state. I am estimating 500K per range. That is a half billion dollars in total. Hell that's a rounding error ! That really isn't asking very much. It would be quite a stimulus to a homegrown industry and would put lots of folks to work. It would certainly take care of some of the NSSF analysis done in the summer. Do I hear a motion to second?

How about the NRA or NSSF getting off their duffs and making such a proposal.

I have an idea. Since 90% of our bridges, sewers, and other infrastructure are are about ready to fail, why don't they fix them, and forget all the duck ponds and BS?
