Please, check this out an form your own opinion, this was in my e-mail and from what I can find this seems to be legit.

ON JANUARY 1, 2014, THE US GOVERNMENT WILL BE REQUIRING EVERYONE TO HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR SS CHECKS.

WONDER WHY?

Subject: HR 4646

Be sure to read entire explanation

Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE.

A 1% tax on all bank transactions is what HR 4646 calls for.

Do you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social Security or a pension fund and have it direct deposit??

This bill was put forth by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA).

YES, that is 1% tax on all bank transactions - HR 4646, every time it goes in and every time money goes out.

Ask your congressperson to vote NO.

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

1% tax on all bank transactions ~ HR 4646 -ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP. Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check it out yourself ~ HR 4646.

This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution - banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc.. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your own bank from one account to another, will have a 1% tax charged.

If your paycheck or your Social Security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction.

If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay the government $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check in to your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged.

You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, the government takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank.

If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.

Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax.

Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed.

Oh, and by the way, if you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank.

Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, "Oh,that's not really a tax, it's a user fee"!

Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year's banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%. Still think it's no big deal?

I don't claim to be an expert on reloading and giving advice is very limited but I believe that the Winchester primer is about the best out there. Have had a lot of problems with the CCI and Federal in small and large pistol primers. As far as Starline brass, lots of problems with 10MM and 44 Mag. Do have Starline brass in 45 Super an have had no trouble, but that brass is a couple years old. Good luck.

There isn't a day that goes by without the federal government overstepping boundaries imposed upon it by the Constitution. Fact is, nary a minute passes without a new abuse or unconstitutional action being committed by the president or the vast bureaucracy he commands as head of the Executive Branch.


If it isn't the federal bureaucracy trampling on the nation's founding document it is the Judicial Branch. Don't like a duly passed state or federal law? Take it to court and to hell with the people's will.

In fact, there is hardly an industry, business, or daily life activity that isn't regulated by the federal bastard. And in many cases, heavily regulated.

The monetary cost of this regulation is astronomical, amounting to something like a trillion dollars a year. Obama's bureaucracies, during his first term, added about $70 billion annually.

But the cost of the leviathan on individual liberty and freedom has been incalculable. And each year, the zone of freedom that encircles each of us grows a little smaller.

That's because each year, the surveillance state grows a little larger. Federal agencies and the IRS grow a little more tyrannical. The president a little more imperial. The central government a little more intrusive.

Where once they were sovereign, voluntary members of a federalist pact, today states, like the people, exist primarily to serve the federal machine.

There is a permanent ruling class in Washington, and with each passing year, that ruling class gets ever more powerful, while the masses become less so.



What's more, it has become patently obvious that Washington isn't going to reform itself. We keep having elections, but where's it gotten us? You know, insanity is defined as doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting a different result.

We know by now that, regardless of what party is in power, Congress is not going to stop delegating its authority to presidents and nameless, faceless bureaucrats who spend their professional lives abusing the public and terrorizing entire industries.

Presidents are not going to stop abusing executive orders to rule by decree, in violation of their oaths of office, as long as they can continue to get by with it.

Lawmakers on the national level are never going to shutter entire agencies, no matter how useless and arcane they have become.

The federal government will never stop spending hundreds of billions dollars more than it takes in.

So, in short, it's time for America to push the reset button. And lucky for us, our founders adopted a constitutional way for that to happen, without having to ask for permission from the co-opted, corrupt and conniving ruling class in D.C.

At the urging of Indiana state Senate President Dan Long, a Republican, and some others, nearly half of all states have committed to sending delegates to Mount Vernon, Va., on Dec. 7, for the purpose of exploring the possibility of holding an Article V convention of the states at some point in the future, to propose new constitutional amendments aimed at restoring the proper balance between the people, the states and Washington.

It's the very beginning of a process participants hope will lead to the kind of historic reset the country so badly needs. As explained in a post at Free Republic designed to explain what will happen at Mount Vernon and to ally concerns and fears:


The Mount Vernon Assembly isn't actually calling a convention; it's just an unofficial meeting of legislators to discuss putting rules in place to pave the road for a convention. Most importantly, they are trying to take the runaway convention argument out of the picture by passing laws in each state that strictly limit the authority of delegates and punish those delegates who exceed their authority. We think this is a worthy goal and great objective. With the runaway convention argument out of the way, we can stop arguing over procedural technicalities, and focus on the actual merits of a convention.

The Assembly isn't trying to cut the people out of the process; it's trying to help the people make a difference by getting all the states to work together under Article V. That's all the Mount Vernon Assembly really is: a group of legislators meeting together away from distractions so they can get on the same page about Article V. And that's a good thing in our book.

It is no accident that the Mount Vernon location was chosen. At the same location a few centuries ago, our founders met to begin the process of events that would eventually culminate in the ratification of the Constitution. So it's appropriate that the site be chosen again.



Not everyone is convinced this is the right thing to do. Some still hold out hope that just a few more victories in national elections will enable Republicans to "change things" and "make 'em right." While we should not give up on national elections, putting all of our eggs in them is just a fool's errand.

Consider that the last time Republicans had majorities the country got "No Child Left Behind," the Patriot Act, huge increases in our national debt, Medicare Part D - and not a single reduction in the number of federal agencies and bureaucracies. In fact, as embodied in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the federal bureaucracy exploded.

No, this problem of unconstitutional government is not going to be fixed by the ruling class turds who are destroying our constitutional system. Any "fix" must come from We the People. It must come from the states. The Article V amendment process is our peaceful way out from under the thumb of federal tyranny.

As Alexander Hamilton expressed in Federalist No. 85: "We may safely rely on the disposition of the State legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority."

A Third Colorado Senator Throws In The Towel Over Gun Control: Hudak Resigns Instead Of Facing Voter Recall
SPECIAL

Democrat Evie Hudak resigned from the Colorado State Senate.

Democrat Evie Hudak watched in September as Colorado voters sent two of her party colleagues in the State Senate home. Like them, Hudak had supported gun control legislation earlier this year that left many Coloradans angry — angry enough to force two successful recall votes against prominent Democratic supporters of the law.

Hudak, herself the target of a petition to hold a recall vote, would have learned on Dec. 3 whether the petition had gathered enough signatures. But she evidently saw the writing on the wall: On Wednesday, without waiting for the petition to be submitted, she resigned her Senate seat.

Hudak's resignation means she will avoid the humiliating experience that Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron endured. Morse and Giron chose to fight voters' recall efforts, both in the courts and on the campaign trail. Each had ardently supported gun control. Each was recalled on Sept. 10 and replaced by a Republican.

If Hudak had lost a recall vote, control of the State Senate would have flipped from Democratic to Republican. Hudak and the State's Democratic Party leadership decided that avoiding that scenario was sufficient justification for her to resign.

From Fox 31 in Denver:


By resigning before the signatures are turned in, she assures that a Democratic vacancy committee will appoint her replacement, keeping the seat — and the senate — in the party's hands, at least through November [2014], when her successor will be forced to win reelection.

State law says that an office-holder can resign up to five days after the Secretary of State deems signatures sufficient to force a recall election, but it's possible a judge could disagree and allow an election to go forward.

Given their track record in court, Democrats decided not to take that risk.

Hudak did herself no favors in the political fallout that ensued following Governor John Hickenlooper's signing of the gun control measures back in March. She seemed insensitive and out of touch with reality when she tried to redirect a rape victim who testified to the Senate that her ordeal would not have happened if she'd been allowed to carry a legal firearm on a college campus.

From the Denver Post:


Gun-rights activists in Colorado and nationally ripped Hudak for her inartful questioning of a rape victim during a hearing in March on a bill to ban weapons on campus. The woman told lawmakers that had she been permitted to use her concealed-carry permit and carry her gun on campus, the incident may have ended differently.

Hudak disagreed.

"I just want to say that, actually statistics are not on your side even if you had a gun," Hudak said, during the hearing. "And, chances are that if you would have had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you."

Of that comment, we wrote at the time:


It isn't clear where Hudak got her numbers, but FBI statistics indicate that firearm use for self-defense outnumbers criminal firearm use 4-to-1. Of the 2.1 million times firearms are used in self-defense annually, 1.9 cases involve handguns and 10 percent involve women fending off sexual predators.

Also according to FBI numbers, there were an estimated 83,425 forcible rapes reported to law enforcement in 2011. Females age 16 to 24 have the highest likelihood of becoming the victim of rape — two to three times higher.

AMERICA'S HUNTERS


Pretty Amazing!

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin . Allow me to restate that number: 600,000!



Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.
 

(That's more men under arms than in Iran.   More than France and Germany combined. )
 

These men, deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, and NO ONE WAS KILLED.



That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters, ALL OF WHOM HAVE RETURNED HOME SAFELY.



Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.

And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It's millions more.


________  The point? _______________________________________

America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower!

Hunting... it's not just a way to fill the freezer. 



It's a matter of national  security.   

That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought, when next we consider gun control.

Overall it's true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don't possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain.

What army of 2 million would want to face 30 million, 40 million, or 50 million armed citizens? 

For the sake of our freedom, don't ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.

That's about the size of it!!!

A local news station here in Phoenix reported that there was drugs in the car. Don't know how they knew that.Still no right to fire on the van.

There was a motorcycle cop that shot a woman in Chandler,Arizona in drug store drive thru maybe 10 to 15 years back an he got off by just losing his job. She had a 3 year old in the back seat an he ran along side the car an when she hit his motorcycle that was at the exit of the drive thur he shot her. This same cop had been involved in other ordeals where people had died. 

Would prefer a 200gr. molly coated hardcast at 1100 to 1300 FPS.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    By Jorge Amselle

Many people, me included, appreciate and support laws that allow for the open carrying of all types of loaded firearms in public. I may open carry on my way to check my mail or on my way to the shooting range just because it is more comfortable. In Virginia I don't have to be fearful that if I am carrying concealed and someone happens to notice my gun anyways that I will be in trouble since I am carrying legally either way. There is also a lot of discussion on the tactics of open versus concealed carry which I won't get into here.

That said, some folks have decided to open carry not out of convenience but simply to make a point. They believe that gun owners need to inure the public to the sight of guns and for a legitimate reason. People believe that anyone other than a police officer with a gun is a bad guy and whenever they see someone with a gun or what they think is a gun all hell breaks loose. In Boston a shopping mall was evacuated and the SWAT team and a police helicopter were called in all for a man carrying an umbrella.



Funny right? It wasn't so funny for Erik Scott who was shot dead by Las Vegas Police officers as he was exiting a COSTCO because store security called 911 reporting that he was carrying a gun. Yes he was, legally and with a permit. YouTube is full of recorded confrontations of individuals with police who are stopped and harassed for legal open carry. The fact is that the vast majority of civilians carrying guns concealed or otherwise are the good guys.

Gun owners have a vested interest in communicating that message to the general public so they don't call the police in a panic every time they happen to see someone minding their own business and who happens to be carrying a firearm. For many gun owners this is a life and death situation as police must respond to these calls unaware as to the circumstances or the armed suspect's intent. I can't blame police as that would put me on edge as well but over reactions can and do occur and sometimes lawful citizens are detained, harassed, arrested or killed as a result.

In response to this some gun rights activist have begun open carrying as a form of protest, sometimes on their own and sometimes in groups. The idea is that if your neighbors or people in your community start seeing you carrying a gun on a routine basis they will become accustomed to it. In Texas they don't allow open carrying of handguns, just rifles and shotguns. A group calling itself Open Carry Texas would like to see the law changed and recently held a counter protest to a meeting of Mom's Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

The problem is that OCT didn't bring placards or signs stating their position, they brought guns. This was a legal protest and they certainly got a lot of attention, but just because it's legal doesn't mean it's a good idea. As reported in Slate and National Review this type of confrontational In-Your-Face protest doesn't tend to produce much in the way of reasoned argument or changing of opinion. The only result of this protest was to leave the gun control proponents frightened and more committed than ever.

I don't question anyone's commitment to gun rights but I do question the tactics used. Confrontational protests of any type seldom yield positive results and more often than not result in a backlash. It wasn't the image of Occupy Wall Street protesters ruining public places that resulted big bank regulations, nor was it the image of obscene homosexual street theatre that changed the public's mind on gay marriage. Dirty drugged out hippies burning their draft cards also did not turn the public against the Vietnam War, and it wasn't the tactics of the Black Panthers that brought about Civil Rights for African Americans.



In California open carry of loaded guns used to be legal, until Black Panthers started marching around with loaded guns back in the 1960s and that law was changed quick. Then only the carrying of unloaded guns was allowed which gun rights activists immediately took advantage of and began doing so as a confrontational form of protest and filming their encounters with police. The result was not an expansion of gun rights but rather legislation banning open unloaded carry. Not what I would consider a success.

Again, I support open carry but slow and steady wins the race. Gun owners need to present a determined front but trying to force people who are afraid of guns to accept them by showing up to a protest armed is not ever going to work.

I was curious about some of the older 10MM brass that I have so I weighed and measured 8 different pieces, that is 8 different headstamps.I have anywhere from 100 to 200 of each.This is brass that has been shot,sized an tumbled and ready to be reloaded. There is no nickel brass in the group.

By Deborah S. Ayer, PolitiChicks.tv

A group of researchers from the University of Queensland, Australia released a study titled "Racism, Gun Ownership and Gun Control: Biased Attitudes in US Whites May Influence Policy Decisions" on October 31, 2013.  According to this study there is a great correlation between white gun ownership in the United States and racism against blacks.  The researchers go out of their way to reaffirm their hypothesis by using questionable data, contradiction, stereotypes, and adjusting variables until they get the desired result.   The hypothesis put forth claims that since more whites own guns and are willing to protect gun rights at a greater instance than blacks, they claim whites owning a gun for self-protection is false.  According to their studies, the real reason why whites own guns is their fear of blacks and the stereotype that blacks are more violent.  The study goes on to claim that white gun owners suffer from symbolic racism and the study even goes as far as claiming gun ownership will eventually make a white person become a racist.

This study relied on the information gathered from the American National Election Study (ANES) to come to their conclusion.  The researchers opted to pick a group of people that met a certain demographic; white, male, conservative, gun owner, anti-government sentiment, southerner, etc., and observed the answers to the race related questions given by ANES.  The study found that the mean scores for symbolic racism were considerably below the midpoint of scoring.  But after adjusting for all explanatory variables they got the desired results to prove that white conservative male gun owners are racist and are impeding gun control measures.



This study is full of stereotypes such as claiming that conservative ideologies and racism is inherently related.  It also goes to prove that racism is hindering gun control legislation by pointing to the Mulford Act signed by Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1967.  Yes, they use a gun control law to prove that white conservatives are racist and preventing the enactment of gun control laws.  Let that sink in for a moment.  The most absurd part is this study claims that an Implicit Association Test (IAT) produced data that showed racism measures predicted the opposition of The Affordable Care Act (ACA); a.k.a. Obamacare.

The introduction to this study cites the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary and the shootings at the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado as the public health importance of gun reform. The problem with citing those two examples in a study that "proves" gun owners are racist is the shooters in both of those tragedies did not target blacks. The introduction continues by pointing out that black Americans are disproportionately represented in firearm homicides.  What it fails to point out is a majority of the homicides are black on black crimes.  According to the 2011 FBI Crime Report, out of 2,695 black victims of homicide; whites only account for 193 homicides against said victims. But that won't stop people from trying to dismiss black on black crimes.  In a July 15th column, Jamelle Bouie claims that black on black crime is a myth.  Ms. Bouie says:

There's no such thing as "black-on-black" crime. Yes, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders, but that racial exclusivity was also true for white victims of violent crime—86 percent were killed by white offenders.

Ms. Bouie attempts to justify her statement by making excuses for such high black on black and white on white crime statistics:

What Shapiro and others miss about crime, in general, is that it's driven by opportunism and proximity; If African-Americans are more likely to be robbed, or injured, or killed by other African-Americans, it's because they tend to live in the same neighborhoods as each other. Residential statistics bear this out...; blacks are still more likely to live near each other or other minority groups than they are to whites. And of course, the reverse holds as well—whites are much more likely to live near other whites than they are to minorities and African-Americans in particular.



You get it?  Just because blacks tend to live together in a neighborhood and blacks commit crimes against other blacks for convenience, it doesn't mean there's such thing as black on black violence.

The unfortunate thing is there are people that actually take this nonsense seriously.  Take for example the United Nations (UN).  On September 3rd, a report was released stating the The UN Working Group of Experts of People of African Descent (WGEPAD) is urging the US to finalize the civil rights probe into the Trayvon Martin killing and to "...deliver justice and appropriate reparations." Human rights expert Verne Shepard who heads the working group stated, "We call upon the US Government to examine its laws that could have discriminatory impact on African Americans, and to ensure that such laws are in full compliance with the country's international legal obligations and relevant standards."

Now what would those international legal obligations be, a UN Small Arms Treaty?  Secretary of State John Kerry signed the UN Small Arms treaty in September.  As of September 25th, the US Senate vows not to sign the treaty.  But the way the Democrats and establishment Republicans have teamed up to attack the Tea Party, I would not be surprised if they decide to ratify this treaty in an attempt to neutralize the conservative wing of the Republican Party.  This isn't the first time we Conservatives have been profiled as the enemy–and it won't be the last.

Very Nice!

You are welcome HammersD. Yes it is a great buy for the money considering the upgrades you get on the Tactical FS 1911. I failed to mention that it comes parkerized black, novak adjustable sites,full length guide rod and amadextrious safties,the best part about the pistol is the lifetime warrenty.They also say RIA service is outstanding if you have a problem,hope I never have to find out. The only bad thing I can say about the pistol is, it throws the brass 20 to 25 feet away, they say its fixable by changing the guide rod spring from a 16 to a 20. The pistol is very accurate for just shooting about a 100 rounds, RIA claims a 500 round break in with 230gr ball ammo only,i was shooting 200gr SWC's.
