Time to start preparing

The Homeland Security Act is the scariest thing to come down the pike in the United States in a very, very long time. You can read about it here.

What can we do? Write your Congress-critters. Do not email them. Email gets ignored. Whip out the word processors and put your words on paper. Calling them also gets registered.

If it does pass, use cash whenever possible. Especially when you buy ammo for the weapons we should all own before the 2004 election season. The Second Amendment is the reset switch on the U.S. Constitution.

Well, I am getting it for target shooting. I certainly won't be packing this thing anywhere, nor do I expect to use it for "home defense" - that's what riot batons are for.

I am buying it, and the scope and cool-looing but uncomfotable grips will come off as soon as I get it home. Once I get comfortable with it at pistol distances, I'll probably reattache the scope and see what it's like at long-gun distances.
