So, I was at the book store in the mall...
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:09:29 PM »
My youngest daughter wanted a specific book...so I was forced to take her to the book store at our local mall (BTW, I detest going to the mall, so I haven't been there in a year or two). Anyway..I decided to browse the magazine rack while she searched for the book she wanted.

I was amazed at what magazines they carried in this place. They had a large selection of adult magazines (Playboy, Penthouse, etc...), they had magazines focused on some rather obscure hobbies, they even had magazines such as High Times and Weed World. ???

Do you think they had a single firearm-related magazine? Of course not. No Combat Handguns, no Guns and Ammo...heck, I don't even think I saw a Field & Stream. So...I expressed my displeasure, collected my daughter, and left without making a purchase (told the clerk I would purchase the title from another store when he offered to order it for us).

So...I guess my interests are less socially acceptable than illicit drug use and porn. I think I will write B. Dalton Booksellers and express my displeasure. Then I will be sure to inform them of all the gun-related publications that I've purchased elsewhere.

Pot-smokin' vegetarian communist perverts, apparently.

The local CVS just started carrying a few gun mags...I think people are starting to realize that there's money to be made on the gun community. That is, unless they take our guns away. OR at least TRY to take our guns away. It's so amazing what flies. Like all those movie stars that occasionally have some limp-wristed comment to make about guns, but they've made a ton of money making movies where they're running around shooting people and blowing things up.

It's a strang world.

The new James Bond actor is one of those guys who thinks we shouldn't have guns but it's okay for him to play a character with a license to kill.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

 He British, what do you expect. They wanted to take OUR guns when they could still have their own.
Put a stop to that crap at a place called Yorktown  ;D

"Books A Million" carries gun magazines. Some I hadn't even heard of. Of course, this is Texas.

Or the ones who don't think we need guns, but are always surrounded by a cadre of armed bodyguards.
