You're absolutely right.

The content of your message is bad enough that there is no need to pile on about the grammar and spelling.

Simply because they have have circulated similar rumors in the past and may not have followed through, doesn't mean they mean no harm. They are talking for a reason and if we don't pay attention, we will only have ourselves to blame when unfavorable outcomes are a reality. I appreciate board members who keep up on topics and post what they find interesting/alarming. I don't wish to be asleep and want to make sure I'm tipped off to do my own research.

I get the feeling you are trying to raise the alarm repeatedly over things that really aren't there. Whom do you work for?

At any rate, according to the link I posted this has been brewing since January. And there was a comment period on the proposed rule. Where were you? What comment did you submit? :oops:

Where were the gun advocacy groups like the NRA? :oops:

Apparently, the NRA thinks this is worth spending money on a lawsuit on...

Actually I contact my elected officials directly. Even though I know that this Interwebs stuff is some very serious Sh*t, when you blow off steam here, it doesn't go anywhere. I don't owe you any explanation about where I was when previous subjects were posted. If there is concern either way for what the Government is doing or not doing - typing up a scathing post on a local gun forum should do the trick to make a difference. Especially when that post is designed to put other down who are concerned with what they read and are attempting to raise the alarm about something they don't like. I would prefer they pick up a pen or phone to and send their opinion to their legislator directly, but informing others who may act has value also.

It's your opinion that this will go nowhere as it has in the past, but it is others opinion that it is worthy of some time and attention.

Feel free to spell check this post so you can feel like you did something today besides try to run someone else's opinion into the dirt.

Yup feeling a little surley today. I guess I'm getting a belly full of the world and feel like I need to take a big sh*t to get it out of my system..............

Maybe you should check who actually posted the story that had substance. Facts are important. Crying the sky is falling is of little use. It's sort of like putting the whole country on "Threat Level Orange" about a non-specific threat.

I doubted it from the beginning based on numerous past bullcrap alerts that didn't pan out. When it became specific, who posted the actual story?

So they're either "always late" ... or they "raise the alarm" too early or often?

Ever occur to you that some of this stuff don't "pan out" 'cause they DID "raise the alarm" early and often?

I gotta ask ... why are you so hell-bent on discrediting the NRA? Image

Would it make you feel better if the rest of us canceled out memberships?

Is there some other organization we should be donating to?

We've obviously made tremendous strides in recent years ... you seem to suggest the NRA's had absolutely nothing to do with any of it? Who, then?!

I already told you before - I have 2 memberships.

You love the NRA so much, why don't you marry them?

Where were they when we should have been commenting on this proposed rule change?

High alert.
But the way things are going with our own government, we should bump it up to red.

What does "High Alert" mean? What triggers it? What should we be looking for?
