Gowdy for Supreme court.

Gowdy for Supreme court.

  that would be better, but since he has never been a judge before, that is very unlikely.

Honestly, I was very much thinking of writing him in, but he is too good of a person to.except the job.

[Rastus]

Gowdy for AG!

Cruz in first Supreme Court position. 

Gowdy gets the 2nd Trump term appointment to the Supreme Court hopefully replacing the traitor to the Constitution Roberts.  By then they should have more than enough individual information on various legislators so that they will be happy to vote for Gowdy.  Then Gowdy's replacement hammers them.

Depends on what you use for the shot....rocks and broken glass are cheaper than steel and lead. 

Chain. LOL That'll clear a street.

Listening to Michael's AK podcast I thought to add a clarification to #8, if in fact not new steps.

Rescind all ATF "rules", such as the rubber band/string = full auto weapons, the "if a pistol touches your shoulder it's a Federal felony", and other such repressive and disgusting rules. This is why all ATF people need to be barred from ever being employed in any capacity by any governmental body or agency, they are capable of thinking such things.

having delt with the batfe as a coastie and just last year over stolen guns(that they found, but had been made ilegal by file of serial numbers and sawing off barrels)   I have never met or talked to an agent that didn't think 90%  of the rules were crap and that they only enforce what tgey are told too.  They honestly were gun guys.  Now the higher ups made be pos, but the "boots on the ground" were always very nice and honest people.

I will say this, they were the only federal law enforcement agency that I delt with as a coastie, that actually showed up promply when called.   They were a two hour drive to get from thier closest office too my post. They were always there in less then 3.

The fbi was always a day behind, the dea was always 2 days and the epa never showed unless the fines would have been morethen 100k.   Now why is this odd?  All 3 of those aagency's  had field bases with in 5 miles of mine.  Hell the epas boat was docked too our dock/ our yard.

On te AG, Rudy G. He's been a firm Trump supporter, and he made his reputation with RICO cases, and there could be several of them in the future, Clinton Foundation, DNC, CAIR, BLM, etc.

As to the ATF, all agencies need to be curbed . Should pass a law that all "policies" need to be approved by congress, just like any other law.
Te only ones who can get you thrown in jail should be Congress, not some clerk with an agenda and a hair across his ass.

Here are my suggestion in addition to everything Michael suggested.

1.  Firearm sales from other states.  With background checks done, you should be able to buy any firearm no matter what State you are in at the time.

2.  CMP sales of M-1 Carbines and all other surplus firearms including M-16s  (Half modified to semi-auto only, Half unmodified.)

3.  Allow for full auto/three round burst firearms made after 1986 to be sold to the public.  (Tax stamp?)

4.  Let honorably discharged military keep their side arm and rifle as a “Thank You” for their service.

5.  Reduce the tax stamp for full auto/ three round burst to $20 or less.

6.  Protect all firearm manufacturers (and all related manufacturers) from any future political lawsuits.

7.  Stop all bans of lead ammunition in the United States.  (Use, sales, imports, ect.)

8.  Protect ammunition and all its components from reclassification, manufacturing, stocking, and hazardous regulations.

9. Protect, encourage, and incentivize gun stores and ranges across the nation in urban, suburban, and rural communities. (Retroactively stop all closures of ranges due to noise ordinances.)

10.  Expand ranges in wildlife areas, state forests, national forests, to include long distance ranges (200 to 2,00 yards), three gun ranges, and cowboy action shooting.  Encourage this by rewarding firearm tax moneys to amount of ranges.  (The more active ranges there are the higher percentage of the tax that site receives.)

11.  Limit the maximum amount of insurance rates to gun stores and ranges without limiting their coverage.  (Stop the price gouging that closes them.)

12.  Make the price of any gun safe a tax deduction.

I'll add more as it comes to mind.

All this is fun and exciting, but how do we make sure it gets to the right people?

Sorry, TAB, the "boots on the ground" are the assholes who enforce the rules, like the ones beating a gun - on video mind you - to make it auto-fire. The reality is that the people in the ATF who drive a desk are generally OK. At one of the gun shows in ND we had 2 agents who "oooh'd" and "aaah'd" with the rest of us over a dual Ruger 10/22 that someone had made into a 2-barrel Gatling gun. Even they admitted it was the field agents who were the real assholes in the ATF.

My rationale is that ALL of them sat by idly as the really bad ones misbehaved and did nothing so far as we know to stop them. So the baby goes out with the bathwater. Sorry, it's gotta be this way, at least for the ATF. It is such a thoroughly corrupt agency it's the only way to be sure.

That's why we're posting here so MB can get this into the right hands
