Nope, the gun grabbing crap goes WAY back to the 1930's or so, I guess you will want me to go get the exact date and title of the Act.........

National Firearms Act (NFA), cited as the Act of June 26, 1934

Here's your boy FDR....


He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority.

By 1935 the Nation had achieved some measure of recovery, but businessmen and bankers were turning more and more against Roosevelt's New Deal program. They feared his experiments, were appalled because he had taken the Nation off the gold standard and allowed deficits in the budget, and disliked the concessions to labor. Roosevelt responded with a new program of reform: Social Security, heavier taxes on the wealthy, new controls over banks and public utilities, and an enormous work relief program for the unemployed.

In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy.

Next...?

Why on Earth do you think an employer owes an employee medical insurance ?

There are two reasons why employers provide insurance (1) Insurance companies have a lot of clout, and they want to sell a lot of insurance. (2) Employers know that if they get the employee on benefits, the employee will be reluctant to move to a better job, I have seen this with my own eyes (call it life experiance ), the insurance companies are part of this with their continous coverage requirements and pre-existing condition crap......

What is wrong with an employee deciding what to do with his/her own money ? A lot of employees in this area will gladly take an extra dollar per hour instead of medical insurance !

People need to plan their life/income, it's not my fault if they are dumb enough to take a job that won't keep them fed....that problem would fix itself and fast, IF the entitlement sh!t (your word) would go away.

I've not had a drop, though having a drink or two is no crime.

Would you care to elaborate on the point of making that remark, or do you just want us to continue thinking it is a distraction, and a desperate move of a mean person who isn't making any intelligent points...

You don't remember asking which President started the gun grabbing, specificly automatic weapons ?

I guess you would insert a quip about drugs and short term memory loss, but I don't need to stoop to that level...


Just a coincidence I guess that he also started a lot of the entitlement crap that is crippling this nation...

I don't not think medical insurance should be required to be provided by employers, the employees have the right to choose if and how much insurance they want, unless we make it compulsory like auto insurance...

Why would you complain if your employer just added the amount he/she spends on your insurance to your check, and let you shop for your own coverage ?

It doesn't prove anything, I erased it because I don't think it was a very nice thing for me to say, and does not ad to the conversation, I have not looked back to see if you have erased any of the childish crap that you said, and I don't intend to...


Are you coming back with an intelligent point ?

Do you remember asking which President started the gun grabbing ?

Do you ever recognize another persons point, or just call names when they get one ?

I'm not and never did defend subsidizing huge companies....except for one tongue in cheek remark which could not have been mistaken as serious by anyone, not even a rabid Liberal...

The NFA is very specific about AUTOMATIC WEAPONS, do your research.

People who will work for an outfit like WalMart deserve what they get, there are better jobs in the paper here everyday, they are too lazy and too stupid to find a decent job, not much that can be done about that.

I'm not mocked, even on this site, except by you and maybe Lupo.............I'm not mean and hatefull either, though reading some of your work might give someone the opinion that you are...

That's probably going to be it for me tonight, I think I'll head on down to the local Indian casino, flirt with a waitress or three, drink firewater, and play poker.

Read up on FDR, and the NFA then we can have a proper discussion on entitlement society...

This is the country where people with skills to offer can hang out their own shingle and have a shot at prosperity, if they would rather work alongside Habeeb at WalMart, that says a lot.....

You can make more washing cars than WalMart pays, but you have to tell yourself what time to get up, some folks can't even do that I guess....

Those jobs with crazy low pay, and almost zero responsibility required, are traditionly filled by school kids living with their parents, I guess kids have better things to do these days ?

It never was much of a debate, I ask a question, you come in asking for clarification 7 times in a row, then side-step........BTDT.

And all those revenooers. Treasury agents put out of work by the repeal of prohibition were suddenly about to become unemployed. OH dear! we can't have that. How can we keep them busy and part of the payroll? Write the firearms act of 1934. Kill two birds with one stone. We get to maintain our payroll and we control the access to firearms of all those new black voters. Rebel yell at this point, emitted by Carpetbaggers.

Again, personal attacks on me rather than make an intelligent point...

Where would you propose lumber and paper come from if it's not suitable work for good American family men ?

I was under the impression that everyone new FDR's entitlement experiment didn't work, but is somehow still in place, tell me I was right...

NOBODY "must" work at WalMart, it is a choice and a poor one, same goes for shopping at WalMart........

I never said anything about how stupid you must be, I never called you sh!t, I have posed a few questions you either can't answer, or won't...

I don't care one wit about cutting timber, I will go on to the next thing when I see an opportunity, for now I am living quite comfortably thank you.

I don't know why I continue to answer you silly personal attacks with nice facts, other than because I can....but here's another one for you, when cutting timber stops interesting me, I will continue my career as an air taxi pilot in S.E.Alaska, I guess us pilots are a bunch of stupid heads too.........

What was your great accomplishment that put you on that high horse anyway, I seem to have missed it ?

It was more fun talking to you when you at least tried to make sense, I should have let you win a few, but I am just too honest for that.

Sorry, I forgot how much fun some have pokeing each other with sharp sticks. I've been guilty of it myself now and then. Only with absolutely gargantuan provocation. Besides a epee is disadvantaged against a claymore.

I feel bad for AuntyM, I shouldn't have been discussing politics with a woman, that wasn't fair and I am sorry...

Do you have any good recipes for sturgeon AuntyM, I'm going to catch at least one after work tomorrow......

Voluteering for the sheriff certainly qualifies you to degrade thousands of American men who work at family wage jobs, pay taxes, and raise decent kids, after serving their Country in the military for a few years in many cases...........


There are a lot of military folks who think it's like a skate(see how far they can ride it), so don't get too hoity-toity about being related to military men, (I expect your men are outstanding, I just want you to admit that a military job doesn't automaticly make someone a saint).
